Legend of The Guardians: The Ghost + The Darkness//FINAL

Chapter Twenty-Two

Avril 14th

Blaire POV
Everything was all packed up and ready to go, I was walking around and saw a little girl’s room, a baby crib, a teddy bear and everything, even a mobile over and it was overlooking a gorgeous view, I guess it kinda made me think that if I’ll have any luck having a child at all. I had my arms wrapped around me as I walked around, I turned around and saw Dylan in the doorway, I lightly smiled,”Hey” He walked over and hugged me, our heart beats resonated and he hugged me tight,”It’s time Blaire” I nodded and we walked downstairs, got into the mail truck and we had more supplies than expected, but it’s what could get us to The Organization. Jason, Pete, Chloe, Dylan and I sat in the back guarding the essentials. We still followed along the coast, but had to find a way around the destructed bridge, about as far as we got was to  Lake Chabot, Castro Valley. There were a few houses for us to fill in after we secured the place, I set my bags in one of the rooms and Dylan set his stuff in,”Miranda and Jason are gonna be in the next room” I nodded as I looked around,”You okay?”
“Hm?”
“Are you okay? You were quiet on the way over” I shrugged,”I really haven’t been feeling up to it lately, after Chris, I don’t know how...and I just want to sleep to catch up and I’ve been….I don’t know anymore” He nodded as he put our blankets on the bed,”Here you go to sleep, I’ll tell the others” I thanked and I was about to tear up due to sleep deprivation, I went to sleep and I woke up around Midnight on my own, I looked over to my right and Dylan was asleep, I sighed and I put my head on his chest and locked hands with him,”Why does it have to be this way?” I whispered to myself and took a deep breath then I rolled out of bed to go to the bathroom with a flashlight, the bathroom was messy, well how can it not be messy to begin with? I looked at a few pictures and saw a beautiful family on the shelf, I looked at the date and it was 2019, I knew that this family was out there somewhere or in a better place, but the move I did next was put the picture frame down because I didn’t want to look at it anymore and think about all the lost familes too because I know what that’s like and everyone else in the group, I walked out of the bathroom and heard a clatter, I went back into the room and moved Dylan a little,”Dylan?” I whispered and he groaned,”Hm?”
“There is something downstairs” He opened his eyes and asked,”What? Something downstairs?” He got up and put his shoes on, I did the same too and went downstairs with him, more clatter, we saw an anonymous figure, muttering away,”Shit...garbage, don’t need this, don’t…..” I pulled out my bow and arrow, but Dylan put his arm in front of me

Dylan: Use your knife, I’ll go around, grab a pillow and I’ll shoot
Blaire: Good plan

I pulled out my knife to distract him, I grabbed a pillow on the couch, Dylan was around the corner and I thought,”Fuck it, I’ll throw the knife in his back, he’ll be defenseless” I threw and Dylan made a ‘what the fuck’ look on his face, I ran and kneed his back to ram the knife deep in and covered his face, Dylan ran over to put his foot on his hand and I did the same and he shot in the person in the face, he sighed in relief and looked at me,”I honestly thought you were gonna fuck up”
“To be fairly honest here….me too, let’s carry him” We carried him out into the lake and dumped him there, I did pull my knife out of his back and it was a struggle, but it could’ve been worse if we were all asleep. Finley came out,”What happened?”
“Looter was in the house”
“Didn’t you lock it?”
“Miranda did and I made sure that the house was secure” He sighed,”These looters and raiders are gonna be the death of this world” Now we have other things to be worried about

Dylan POV
We went back inside the house we were in,”You going to sleep?” I asked her and she shook her head,”After what just happened, I think I’m gonna stay up” She set her knife on the table with a bowl full of water and a rag,”Well if you’re staying up then so am I”
“You don’t have to Dylan”
“What if I want to?” I walked over to her and she looked at me,”Then I guess there’s no stopping you” She smirked and I took a look around and there was another Cordless CD player, I opened it, some bugs came out, but the CD was by Aphex Twins, I was curious if it was still working, so I turned it on and there was it was, it was on and I played it then piano music started playing, I looked over at Blaire as I was working on one of the weapons and looked int drawers, whatnot. Blaire went over to the bed and lied down, she looked up at me and I smiled at her, she raised her hand up and had her hand on one side of my face, there weren’t any words there\....just silence was good enough for us, we looked into each other’s eyes and she laid her head in my lap while listening to this song that was mellow for us

Blaire POV
I grabbed a flashlight to turn it on, put it down on the shelf above us and started making shadow puppets, Dylan joined and we started joking around with the characters we had and looked at each other in the eyes again, he ran his hand through my hair,”You stink Blaire”
“You’re the one to talk, I can smell your armpits from here” He groaned and pushed my face away from him, I looked back at him and he smiled too, I got up and took my jacket off on my side of the bed, Dylan came over and he moved hair to one side of my neck, wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder, I ran my hand through his hair and I just laid down when Dylan had his arm draped over me, he began kissing my neck and I sighed slowly out of pleasure,”Do you want to?” I hesitated and I shook my head,”I really haven’t been feeling good and I’m tired” He nodded and I apologized,”No it’s okay, is it still….?” I shrugged,”I have no idea anymore, I almost felt numb a while back” He didn’t even say anything, he nodded slowly,”You think I’m going to turn don’t you?”
“What makes you think that?”
“Gwen told me when we were on watch” He sighed and slouched on the side of the bed,”And you’re not mad at me for that?”
“No, I’m not I mean, Dylan, Leo told me when he was still with us talking to me about Missy and us and if one of us gets infected, I can understand your concern about this, but I’m not going anywhere, it’s just a sickness that I can overcome, I’m sure of it Dylan”
“You think so?”
“I know so, it’s just kinda taking a toll of me right now” I smiled lightly and I kinda got this feeling that I may be slowly dying and Dylan is starting to raelize because bags under my eyes, I’m either tired or restless, one minute I’m starving and the next minute I’m not, my schedule is off the charts at this point, the group doesn’t know what to do about it and hell, even I don’t know what to do about it because it feels like my body has its own mind now and I’m just the eyes and ears, I guess that was something that I didn’t want to tell Dylan. He looked down and I put my hand on his chin and pulled it over to my direction,”I’ll be okay, when we get to The Organization, we can see if it is what we both think it is and we can make it work”
“Blaire we both know that there is no cure to that”
“I’m only trying to be optimistic” He nodded and sighed in a sad way, I laid my head on his shoulder while holding his hand and i said to him,”if I do turn, just know that we at least know what our future could’ve been like” He smiled a cheerful way and looked at me,”That’s one way to look at it”
“But I’m not going anywhere, I don’t even plan to”
