Living in Hell (Alicia Clark x OC)

Chp.11 Dream

~Rin~
Rin shot up in bed as she breathed heavily. Cold sweat was dripping down her skin. Her hands felt the area of where she was hit. She didn't feel any bandages nor felt any pain. She lift her shirt up to see all of the scars she had was gone. She frown in confusion. She felt movement besides her as she felt someone touching her arm.

"Hey, it's okay. It was just a dream." A very familiar voice says.

Rin looks over to see Alicia staring at her with those worried blue green eyes. Alicia sits up as her left hand was placed on Rin's right shoulder.

"Hey, are you okay?" Alicia asks.

Rin slowly nods her head. "Yeah, I um...I just had a weird dream."

"Want to talk about it?" She offers as her hand slides down her arm before stopping at her hand.

Rin shook her head. "No, I rather go back to sleep honestly. I'll tell you in the morning...it's just I'm really tired..."

Alicia nods her head. "Alright." She says before laying back down.

Rin laid back down. She placed her head onto Alicia's shoulder. The last thing she felt was arms being wrapped around her before she fell asleep.

Rin was fast asleep, laying on the floor in Althea van. Her head was resting on a bag. The wound was all bandaged up but blood still steeped through. Sweat was dripping down her face. She was breathing heavily as a fever was going through her.

"She's running a fever. Do you have any Tylenol? Or anything that'll get her fever down?" Alicia asks.

"Look in the medkit there might be some in there." Althea replies not even taking her eyes off the road.

Alicia grabbed the medkit and looked through it. She found a bottle but when she opened it, it was empty. She threw the bag down and placed her head into her hands as her elbows were on her knees.

"Those bandages need to be replaced." Morgan says as he kneels down and starts taking the bandages off.

Morgan looked at the wound closely. He grabbed the medkit and grabbed out rubbing alcohol. He started cleaning the wound before he put bandages on. He sat back where he was sitting before.

"There that should hold for now." He says before he looks out. "Where are we going again?"

"Our old camp." Alicia says simply.

~Time Skip~

Alicia pointed her rifle at Naomi. Naomi was on the floor breathing heavy as she stares up at Alicia. Morgan was calling out to Alicia trying to get her to lower the gun but she didn't budge.

"Alicia lower the gun. Your mother wouldn't want you to do this."

Alicia froze in place. She didn't move an inch besides breathing heavily.

"Rin wouldn't want this. She would be trying to get you to lower the gun. You need to let your vengeance go." Morgan tries to convince her but it didn't seem to be working. He grips his staff tightly. "Goddammit Alicia! Rin is dying! We need Noami to help her bring the fever down! We need her! I understand how you feel and I can help you get through it if you just let me help you."

Alicia lowers her gun before turning around towards him to give him a sorrowful look. Morgan slowly approaches her before he gently took the rifle away from her hands.

"Let's go back to where the group is." He says before leading the way out.

They made it back to where Althea and the others were, which they were all sitting around a campfire. Rin was laying in a car not too far from where they were at. Alicia sat in that same car as she watched her mother's tape. Tears brim her eyes at the sight of her mother and just hearing her voice again. When she finished, she turned off the camera and set it aside. She turned around in the driver's seat to look back at Rin. She noticed that she was still breathing heavily so she reached back to feel her forehead with her left hand. Rin was still burning up.
