We carefully open the door to our room. Luka is scanning the hallway, while Nino trys to strap me to his back. This is the only way to keep us all together. Nino, also came up with the idea of him and Luka loosely tying a piece of small rope around their right wrists. Now you might be thinking, why do that? Doesn't that defeat the purpose, if you have to run or hide? Well, yes and no. Those were actually the questions I asked, before he explained. The rope is a way to single if we need to stop or if there's a sick nearby. One tug for stop. Two tugs for sicks. If tugged hard enough the rope will slip off the wrist with ease. Signaling we need to run. It was simple, but smart. I can't believe I didn't catch on. Rampaging sure does take alot of energy out of a gal.

I'm really dreading going out of those doors. Seeing them in my dreams is one thing, but in real life. I don't know how I will react. I'm definitely not going to make it without them. Nino makes sure I'm strapped in tight and ready to go. Luka slowly creeps into the hallway, signaling us to go, we follow. The scent in the air is repulsive. "Where to Momo?" Nino whispers. I look around the hallway, trying to remember the way. "Keep going straight until we get out of the hospital ward."

We've only been walking for three minutes, but it feels so much longer. There has been no signs of sick people. Nothing out of the ordinary when on a code red, besides the smell. Nino stops, putting two fingers up in front of me. We have reached the end of the hospital ward. "Go right." I whisper to Luka. He places his hands on the handle, ready to push, but freezes as his posture tenses.

"There is a sick in this hallway." He whispers. "Shit!" Nino says a little too loud. He smacks his hand over his mouth realizing what he just done. You can hear the heavy footsteps of the sick moving towards us. "I don't think it can open doors, but we can't get pass the door now." Luka turns facing us. Soon all eyes are on me. "We would have to go all the way back to the front of the ward, then turn left." I tell them. They both nod, turning back the way we came.

I hurriedly pat Nino on the shoulder. "What!" He whispers yells. "I can hear footsteps." He looks at me crazy. Probably wondering how I could hear that? He tugs on the thread signaling a stop. Luka slowly walks back to us and ask, "Why did we stop?"

"Momo, heard footst-" He couldn't finish his sentence as a sick walks into view, coming right towards us. "We got to go. Now!" I warn. Both heads snap behind them, next we're running to a black door. Luka pulls the door open then shuts us all inside. Now we're trapped. It begins banging on the door, as we sulk away from it. "We were so close to the front too." Luka whines.

"Nino, can you unstrap me?" I ask. The movement from running, caused the strap to dig into my ribcage. He carefully unstraps me with the help of Luka and places me on the ground. I close my eyes to rest the new arrival of a headache. A hand gently rests below left cheek. "Are you ok?" I peel my eyes open to look at Nino. "I'm fine. Just have a headache that's all." I mumble, as a chill flows through my body. I want to tell Nino to get the srygine, but I'm too weak to really do anything. Instead I weakly lift my hand and point to his pocket. That's when things go black.

So you seen it. You seen what the world is going to become. Yet you still don't believe. I'll make you believe. Watch.

"I think it's gone. Let's go before more come. Morgana? Don't tell me she's sleep."

"She pointed to my pocket, I didn't know what she meant until her face went cold."

"How could you let this happen? We need her now she's sleep and we don't know when she's going to wake up."

"There are maps of the center towards the front of the ward. We could go get a map and come back to get her. Maybe she'll be up by then."

"If there are maps up there, then we don't need her. I don't want to do it, but if this is the real deal, she'll get us all killed. But if it isn't, she'll be fine in this closet."

"That's messed up."

"Do you want to live or not?"

"Fine. Just let me get her comfy. It's the lease I could do."

You see they're going to leave you. Your going to be alone. They don't care if you die here. You'll be on your own from now on. No one wants dead weight.

No it can't be true. They wouldn't just leave me. I'm a person. How could they just leave me. How come everyone just leaves me.

"How come, I'm always the one alone." I whisper to myself as I slowly wake. My head is placed on the small pillow Luka gave me. With a blanket around me. My bag gone. All my supplies gone. No one around. They left me. They really did leave me here. Alone.
