Prodigy's POV

(As me and Ray started to comfort the girls, the rest of the crew ran in. DeZha turned towards Roc and hugged him tight. He hugged back, kissing her cheek. I was starting to feel for her, but I guess it's too late. Y/N walked towards Ray and reapplied some gauze. Elijah and Prince walked over to a corner to talk privately. Sarah followed. Star and Beauty mean mugged the other girls. I was the only one not occupied. In other words, I was alone. As always. Bahja stared hard in Roc's direction, so I followed her gaze. What I saw didn't really surprise me, but struck me with sadness hard.)

"Roc's been scratched."

Bahja snorted. "No, duh, dipshit. He's gonna turn into one of them."

"NO," DeZha screamed. "Hell. NO! I just got you back. Bullshit, you ain't turnin' into them fuckers."

(Prince grabbed a couple short, cylinder-shaped jars and a piece of rock. He walked over to where Roc and DeZha sat. He moved Roc's head over and scraped up a mixture of blood, saliva, and black ooze. DeZha grabbed some soap and water to start cleaning his wound.)

"We're gonna try something with this, and hopefully there's something to make this crap disappear," Prince explained.

(Prince, Elijah, and Sarah walked back to the corner. Prince had scrapped the thick liquid sample in the jar. Sarah grabbed some water and poured it onto the sample. The black ooze expanded and multiplied faster.)

"DeZha, don't put water on that wound," Sarah yelled.

DeZha gave her a funny look. "It got soap in it. It ain't doin' shit but sittin' there, in his neck. I know what I'm doin'."

(Sarah chuckled and went back to what she was doing. Then, Prince poured juice on it. The black substance evaporated. Elijah grabbed some soda and poured it on another sample. The same result happened. I put all the pieces together in my head. So, if you pour water on the substance, it multiplies. If it's anything OTHER than water, it dies.)

"Here. Pour this on his wound and wrap it up, Dez." Prince tossed her a soda can.

"So," I started. "If it's anything besides water, it's gonna die, right?"

"Well, yeah," Elijah stated.

Y/N stood. "Well, shit, what we waitin' on?"
