It's been two years since I have left my mother. I have been on the move nonstop. I don't stop to make friends. I don't kill unless I have to. I steal all the time but most of the people I steal from are past the gone. I have the flare. I am a crank. The dark veins have started on my arms and are reaching my neck but I'm controlling myself the best I can. Sometimes I lash out and don't even realize it until I wake up somewhere else, usually with blood on my hands. I lock myself up at night, in hopes to stay where I am and not travel, kill people or infect anyone. Most of the time it works but not all the time.
I have been "working" with Marcus who was hired by WICKED to draw in kids, get them drunk and make sure they have a good time. Then WICKED troops come in, separate the weak from the strong, immune from the sick.
WICKED doesn't know that I'm working with Marcus, they think it's Ash Reed that is working with him. They also don't know why some of the kids get away. That's what I do, Marcus lures them in, I lure them out, giving them supplies to last a day or two before I tell them to get as far away from here as possible. I give them directions to the Right Arm, but only if they are immune because I can't infect the Right Arm.
I have a ticket to join the Right Arm because of how much I help them, even though I have the flare. Vince, the leader, makes sure to get The Bliss, a temporary cure, so I can keep recruiting kids and helping them get away from WICKED. He supply's me every month with supplies for the immunes and my Bliss. The kids that i can get out that aren't immune, I give them some of my Bliss, so that they can last just a little longer, incase WICKED actually finds a cure.
One injection helps you for a week, depending on how far gone you are. Mine helps me for a week before I need it again but sometimes I don't take it, saving it for the ones who are further gone.
I know I will soon be gone, which is why I can't join the Right Arm and Vince who is literally the reason I am still alive. I could infect them all and then they will never take down WICKED. I need to stay away from them and just direct the immune kids as long as I can. Vince and Sonya, a girl from group B, visits me but I will never visit their camp. I make sure that the people that come were one of the immunes, in case Sonya and Vince can't make it.
Not all of the Right Arm is immune, but they don't have the flare yet because they haven't been exposed. The second they are, their will no longer be a Right Arm to rescue the immunes. That's why I can't go even though I really want to get away from Marcus, away from being so close to WICKED, away from "helping" WICKED. If they find out who I really am, they'll send me back to WICKED and no doubt put me to work, even if I don't want to.
