The Cult

The Poor Garbage Can & A Plan

Jo's POV
Day 4

"You can go to hell!"

"That's not how you should speak to me, Josephine."

"Where is he?! Where is my son?!"

"Don't touch me!"

"She's fading again."

"Keep going!"

"Come on keep going!"

"She's gone..."

  I wake up with my head spinning, or I'm spinning. Honestly, can't tell the difference. I make an attempt to run to the bathroom, when really I barely make it half way and throw up on a garbage can.

This just makes Hero wake up, looking for me.

  I'm on the floor, huddled over the poor garbage can I'm profusely throwing up into. I haven't even eaten that much so where the fuck is this all coming from.

  I don't care, honestly, I feel so care free and just so much more... alive. That's the word. Alive. I'm not a robot anymore, I'm finally me.

  Hero is at my side before another wave of nausea hits me like a truck. "Baby what's going on?" He asks softly and I hold up my finger, telling him to wait because I'm in the middle of doing something.

Clearly.

  He chuckles at this and keeps my hair from going into the poor garbage can. I think we're gonna need a new one after this. Once I'm finished, for now at least, he posts his large ass hand over my eyes and lifts me up, bringing me somewhere before placing me down again. "Sorry," I giggle and lean my back against him.

  "Don't be sorry, I'm just confused on what's going on." He says as he laughs a bit. I take a deep breath before turning my face to him.

  "Well, what seems to be happing is that I'm withdrawing from whatever bullshit drug they gave me to alter my mind," he laughs at the way I say alter my mind before he's holding my hair back again and I'm throwing up into the toilet. "Needless ro day withdrawing sucks." I laugh and I just know he's nodding behind me.

Later...

  We're both watching tv and he keeps looking down at me. "What?" I laugh and keep my head on him as I look up.

  "I get the whole withdrawing part, but what caused it?" He asks and moves the hair out of my face.

  "As we were sleeping, fragments of different memories were resurfacing." I say and blush a bit from embarrassment.

  "But that didn't happen last time, when you remembered Elijah." He says softly and I smile at his name. I can't wait to see my son again.

  "I don't know, but you said you had a plan. We have 3 days left, but more like two since they'll all probably die at 4 in the morning on the seventh day." I say and he looks at me worriedly before taking my hand and leading me to his office.

  "Wow..." is all I say, looking around and seeing different documents and stories on cults before I turn to the board simply titled The Plan.

  "Yeah, I've uh... done a lot of research." He says while rubbing the back fo his neck nervously.

  I go on my toes and kiss him. "Perfect, we're gonna need it." I smile and start really reading the board.

While everyone is sleeping we'll go through that window. From what Josephine explained that's her and Kat's room. Once Kat comes out the window, we go five windows over to Sofies room. She's harder because we have to get around her parents. Because Sofie loves Jo, we'll get her out the window in hopefully no time.
