*Olivia's Pov*
*Nurses room*
After having lunch with Johnny, I went back to my studies. Matthew walks in wearing this white button up shirt, with some black slacks, some dress shoes, and his glasses.
"Hey, how's it going?" He asked while taking a seat at the desk across from me.
"Hi, it's going pretty good actually. I took a short lunch break with Johnny, and I'm gonna to get some sleep after a few more pages." I updated him.
"Oh goody. Tomorrow I'll teach you how to stich up a wound."
"Oh my god really I can't wait!!" I'm finally learning something hands on. Gonna be nice to finally practice what I'm reading.
"Just remember it's not a race. But trust me once you master the art of stitching, you'll be on your way to the OR in no time." He chuckles and I smile.
The door flies open revealing Claire. She's wearing black leggings, a white t-shirt and a grey hoodie, with her hair put in a ponytail. She was sweating and out of breath like she's been running miles.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"T-They a-are o-on there way back." She said trying to catch her breath. She stops then takes a deep breath. "S-Sorry I just got back from training and ran all the way here. Why aren't you answering your walkie-talkie?"
"Sorry I forgot to charge it." I told her.
"Forget it let's go." She said as we follow her to the front gate.
Everyone is out here. Claire and I go over to Johnny who has a worrisome look on his face. Before I can ask Johnny why he's worried, our lookout Nicole yells.
"They're here!! Open the gate!!" The gate opens, the truck they left with comes in slowly and parks in front of us. Troy exits the backseat, as Jenny exits the passenger. They both head to the back with Sam and Simon helping drag out a deer and some tied up bunnies. The drivers door opens and Dylan comes out. He walks to us with eyes like he seen a ghost.
"Emergency board meeting now." Was all he said as he walks inside the school. We all look at each other. Johnny tells the rest of the board to gather as we make our way to the teacher lounge.
Dylan's already here waiting patiently in a chair. We all take our seats at the big round table. I'm next to Dylan, with Claire on my left, then Johnny, then Simon, then Matthew, then Sam. Dylan clears his throat.
"I called for this emergency meeting because we are in grave danger. While I was out haunting we came across a deer. I killed that deer, then 4 growlers shown up after. I killed 3 of them but when I went to kill the last one, a bullet goes through it's head killing it. It wasn't any of our guns that did the job. I..It was my father." Dylan explained.
"What!?" We all say in unison. Dylan looks at Johnny, Claire, and me and continues.
"H..He and my mom are one of them. They are apart of...Phoenix." A instant chill came down my spine as he says those words.
"What the hell is Phoenix?" Matthew asked.
"At the beginning, we were staying at Johnny's house. Then one day, a man knocked on our door. He said he was with a group named Phoenix, he told us we all were gonna die right before he killed himself. That's also how we found out we're all infected. We ran before we could see what they're about, that's also how we got to hope." Claire explained.
"So the Robbins been with them the whole time?" Sam asked.
"Yep." Dylan answered pretty dry. He must still be in shock of that news. Hell I am too, I can't even imagine what he's thinking right now.
"What exactly did he say to you?" Johnny asked. Dylan takes a breath.
"He told me that they are more than just a group. They're dangerous and there's a lot more of them than us. That guy, his name was Charlie and he was looking for me. His mission was to find and bring me to my parents. He was suppose to kill whoever I was with, but he ended up killing himself because we got the jump on him, he knew we'd get info out of him. They've been with Phoenix for years. He gave me a few days to come willingly or they'll kill you all to take me. My parents only want to protect me from this world, they have a place for me to live without fear. Phoenix has a plan that can't go into action unless I'm safe." The room goes silent. I can hear Johnny shaking his knee nervously.
"We have to fight then." I broke the silence catching everyone's attention. "W..We can't just lay back and let God knows what they have planned to go through. By the sound of it we're screwed either way, so I say we stand and fight."
"I second that motion dude." Simon agreed.
"You guys realize we do have only a few days until then. Not everyone here is a fighter. We are not an army, we don't even have enough weapons or medicine. I don't like our options, I'm sorry Dylan but I think we know what's our best option." Matthew declares.
"So what are you trying to say, we give Dylan to them and hope they spare the rest of us? No way that's gonna happen." I argued.
"My group and I will triple time it with making gear, bows, and arrows. We can make some traps as well." Sam announces.
"I can help out with that, we shouldn't be out haunting while they're out there." Dylan mentioned.
"Well thank you, we could sure use the extra hands." Sam grinned.
"Anybody who can fight are coming to training from now until then. You're right we are not an army, but we can always fight like hell to take one down." Claire said sternly.
"I can take the best trained to help with patrolling and keep lookout." Johnny added.
"Fine, if we really are gonna do this then after this meeting Olivia we are gonna go to work. We can't afford to take breaks, they could show up at any moment." Matthew said folding his arms.
"O-Okay we can do that." I told him. Johnny stands up.
"Alright that settles it then. We all know what to do, so lets get it done. Meeting adjourned." We all rise from our seats and start making our way out of the room.
As everyone else leave, I pull Dylan back by the arm, putting my head on his chest and my arms around his body. He holds me back tightly as tears start going down my face. The intense stakes of what can happened playing through my mind. I really needed him to hold.
I pulled away, wrapping my arms around his neck, while leaning in to land my lips on to his. He lifts me up with his arms holding up my legs, while not separating our lips from each other. Suddenly I'm sat down on top of the round table. He pulls away and starts kissing me on my neck causing me to moan softly in his ear. I start tugging at his belt, wanting him badly. As he goes to take off my shirt, he quickly stops once the door flies open. It's Matthew with his perfect timing. He turns his back covering his eyes with his hand.
"S..Sorry um, we should um get to work." Dylan and I chuckled.
"I'll meet you there." I told him. He simply nods and leaves. I look at Dylan and we both start laughing.
"We'll finish this later." I sighed with fraustration.
"Oh we definitely will be." He winks and gives me a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you babygirl."
"I love you too." As we walk out of the room, we give each other one last kiss, and head off to do our jobs.
