A few days pass, and I forget about Maeve completely. I have been out most nights as Jack has increased patrols around the neighborhood. He got news that various towns were being attacked and thought it best for us to take precautions. As for Will, he's been MIA the past few days, most probably teaching Liv basic survival skills. I spend most mornings with Mikey, trying to help him get back in the groove of things. He is significantly better now, finding it easier to move. I urge him not to exhaust himself with physical activity, but rarely does he listen.
One night whilst out on patrol, I hear some voices coming from behind a nearby brothel. It took me a second to place one of the voices, but then it struck me - it was Liv. Confused as to why Liv would be anywhere near a brothel, I try getting closer.
"She's clueless." Liv barks, facing a dark figure, their back to me.
"Good." They respond coarsely. "What about Maeve? Did Myra say anything else about their encounter?"
"No. I don't think she even knew what was happening. That bitch is a total idiot." Liv replies, her voice condescending.
I take a step back - my head spinning. Why are they talking about me? How does Liv even know about Maeve? Did Will say something to her? ...No....why would he do that? I turn around, stumbling, and try to run away - to run towards the cove. I need to tell Jack. Suddenly, I trip, my knees breaking the fall. I want to scream, but also don't want to give away my position. A moment passes and I try to catch my breath. I look back, trying to see if Liv and the figure saw me. I think I am in the clear as I see nothing but an empty street. Relieved, I get up dusting my knees. I lift my head up, about to take a step forward, when I am stopped in my tracks. It was Liv - and a Stark. Surprised I jump back. I raise my hands as I try to fight them off, but it is in vain. The figure, at least a foot taller, lunges full force at me. The last thing I see is Liv smirking, before everything goes completely black.
