The Last Choice (BOOK 5) {COMPLETED}

A Sign

(Y/N)- "H-how?" He smiles and chuckles, before finally answering me.

(Piers)- "Glad to see, you haven't changed." I sit fully up and so does he, I stutter trying to form a sentence to respond to him. "You don't have to respond, I know you think this couldn't be happening."

(Y/N)- "Wait, you're here for a reason. It's either a good or bad one, am I wrong?" Piers shakes his head, he stands and looks out the window from my room.

(Piers)- "You quit because you thought it was safer, not only for yourself but because of Leon. The problem is...you've got a bigger storm ahead of you." I stand up with him, confused. "I know you're trying to adjust to a real life, but this--this isn't better."

(Y/N)- "What's the storm? I need to know what you mean by that?" Piers looks over at me, not wanting to say anything more.

(Piers)- "Watch everyone you meet, not all of them are--"

My eyes jolt open, I quickly feel my heart pounding. I hold my chest tight as I feel my head burning up. I try to hold myself up, feeling light. I need to take medication--I don't feel well. I stand up, holding my body against the wall. I quickly go over to the bathroom, and grab my pills. I was told to take these, if anything were to occur. I toss two of the capsules in my mouth, quickly swallowing it.

I slide down the wall, and close my eyes. I feel the medication work, as my heart slows down. I open my eyes, seeing everything clear. I should call Rebecca, tell her what happened. Once problem, I'm afraid of what this meant. I stand up and I walk back to my room, seeing a missed call from Leon. Shit, I face palm myself. I should call him, if he's able to answer. I dial Leon, hearing continuous ringing, until the voice answering machine starts speaking. 

I sigh and end the call, I start to see the sunrise appear. I decide to lay back into bed, hoping I can get at least an hour back to sleep. As I struggle to sleep, until it finally happens.

I gently open my eyes, seeing the sun fully out. I get up and quickly throw on a t-shirt and jeans, I make a bun and walk down stairs to feed Winter. I see Winter peacefully asleep, I try to stay quiet while pulling out the kibble. Once I finally pour it in the bowl, I see Winter quickly run over here. I chuckle and pet his head, I point at the bowl signaling you can eat. 

I smile and pull out my phone from my pocket, I dial Rebecca. She answers quick making me surprised.

(Rebecca)- "Hey! What's going on?" I clear my throat, nervously.

(Y/N)- "Last night, I had a dream. It was not a nightmare, but a pleasant one. It was about Piers, he was talking to me. I woke up, heart pumping, burning temperature, light headed. I could barely walk, this was the first time something like this happened. I took the pills they said to take, if the virus lashed out." I sigh, hearing Rebecca muttering something.

(Rebecca)- "Okay, I have information on what's happening. Your body could be fighting off the virus, or it could be spreading even more. I thought it was sustained, but--I'm not sure."

(Y/N)- "Should I go back to the agency?--"

(Rebecca)- "No-no, just stay there. I'll ask if Leon could visit you, if not then I'll come around. Alright?"

(Y/N)- "Yeah, alright. Bye Rebecca.." I end the call, and place it on the kitchen island. I lean back, and look around. 

I go to work tomorrow, and I have no idea what to do. I sigh, and then remember my gear. I shrug, and decide to practice. While walking to my room, I notice my bedroom window open. I quickly run up and shut it confusingly, I stare outside the glass, seeing if anyone was there. After staring outside, I conclude that they might be in my house. I pretend nothing is wrong, I turn around suspecting Ada or any potential enemy. 

Although, weird enough there was nobody. I exhale and walk over to my closet, I switch on the light and see the black box. I think back to the dream I had, wondering if the window was open at the time. Unable to remember I just assume, that maybe it was. I walk to the black box, flipping up the little scanner. As I place my thumb on it, the lid pops open. As I lift the lid, I notice something.

I see two tiny clear containers, I tilt my head and examine it. I don't remember putting this in here, I grab them and  hold it tightly in my left hand while grabbing my knife. I flip it in my hand as I close the box. I let the knife down, and examine the yellow filled clear container. Could this be the virus?
