While James was running he remembered that Aviana wasn't with him. He grabbed his phone.

"Aviana, I swear I will make it up to you but Luca, oh goose, Luca!" He hung up, Aviana ran out the door, not putting on a jacket and it was raining. With only her shoes she started to run to the hospital, because she had no money on her.

James was running, his breathing picking up. His shirt becoming see through because of the rain. He ran into the hospital and ran up to Luca's room. He saw Luca and threw up. Lee came up not long after and went past him.

"What the hell?" She whispered to herself and walked over to Luca. Foam was still coming out but he was shaking more than moving in jerking movements.

"I have no idea, I thought maybe you could help!" The male nurse spoke up, she turned to the doctors.

"How the hell would I? I'm trained to be a nurse not a doctor!" She ran up to the nurse who was holding his head to the side so he wouldn't choke. James was cleaning up his mess and after waited outside of the room. Aviana came in not long after. Her eyes watered as she saw him, but she walked into the room. Luca stopped shaking, his heart rate hasn't changed at all. Only his body shaking and the foam were cause for concern. His breathing and heart rate were fine, and that was one of the things weird about his case. Not to mention when it all stopped because of Aviana. Adonis had been out, trying to find something to help Luca but ended up with nothing before getting a phone call from Aviana about Luca. 

He made his way to the hospital and watched as she walked into his room, and how he stopped shaking. But what no one saw was that Lee, the two doctors and two nurses weren't the only things in that room. He took a deep breath and walked into the room. No one seemed to see him, he walked past and grabbed her. She screamed, her smile now turning into a horrible long frown. He dragged her out, Aviana watched. She watched him pull something she couldn't see out of the room. Adonis's grip around her arm didn't leave until he got outside. He turned to her.

"Don't ever go back into that room!" He yelled, she backed up. She actually looked scared of him, the fact that he could touch her if he wanted scared her. She ran away, he fell down. His hand had turned black. Pain started to spread throughout his hand and into his arm. He stood back up and walked in, he covered his hand and sat by James.

"He's better now." It looked like James had been up all night watching his kid. Adonis nodded and smiled slightly.

"That's good." He fisted his hand to help control the pain. To stop him from screaming out.

After Aviana came out, she looked at Adonis. Her eyes scanned his, and then his body. 

"I'm fine, don't worry." He smiled, she sighed and sat by him.

"He's getting better. I don't know what you did, Adonis, but thank you." She hugged him, a tear came out of his eye.

"I don't think it'll hold her off for long. Aviana, I've got to go abroad. I'm sure that James told you everything, I'll be gone for a month." He stood up.

"A month? That's longer than we agreed, Adonis." James stood up.

"Some things have come to light." 

"Luca won't make it that long!" Aviana raised her voice.

"He needs to!" Adonis yelled back, the other two looked at him surprised.

"We'll do what we can, you do what you need to." James said and grabbed Aviana and walked her out of the hospital. Adonis walked back into the room.

"Hey! You can't be here!" The male nurse tried to stop him.

"No, I can." He smiled and walked over to Luca.

"It's only a matter of time." He whispered to Luca then left. 

"That was creepy." The nurse whispered to Lee. She nodded and walked out of the room.

"Hey! Adonis!" She yelled for him, he stopped and turned around.

"I'm Lee, I'm going with you abroad for a few days. I hope you know Spanish." She smiled, he looked at her with no expression.

"I don't. Don't let me down." He smiled, his eyes looked off but she brushed it off.

"I don't feel good, you're a nurse right?" She nodded.

"Can you do me a favor and look at my hand?" She nodded and he took his hand out of his pocket.

"What's wrong with it?" She asked while looking at it.

"That's what I want you to tell me." She looked back up to him.

"No, I'm mean what's wrong with it?" He backed up, his eyes brows coming together.

"What to you mean? My hand! It's black!" He waved his hand a bit to show her but she now scrunched her eyebrows.

"Adonis, your hand looks fine." She walked past him. He looked back down to his hand and turned to look at her.

"No, please." Some tears fell, he ran after her. His hand outstretched to grabbed her. She stopped, he blinked his eyes.

"Oh, make sure to pack your things. I'm leaving tonight." He walked past her. She watched him leave then left herself.

"I should've asked to be paid for this." Lee mumbled to herself before getting a cab. 

She looked out the window but she didn't see Adonis.

"He must've taken a cab." She whispered.

When she got out she walked up to her room and laid down. She closed her eyes before packing.

Adonis came by around ten and picked her up. They went to the airport, the rain still pouring and the light from the streetlamps making it sparkle. She got in the cab, Adonis put his bag and hers into the back. He sat by her, she kept trying to find the right moment to start a conversation but that time would only come when they arrived.

"Let's go. We have work to do." He grabbed his bag, he then reached over and grabbed hers.

"James described you differently. You are acting like Luca more than yourself. I don't know you but I would like to, if you want." He stopped walking and turned to her.

"I'm not Luca I will never be him! Don't talk about him, you know nothing about him!" He didn't raise his voice which made her have chills. She nodded and walked by his side.

"I didn't mean that like a bad thing. I'm sorry, I know who you are, James talked about you fondly." She walked ahead afraid of what he would say to that.

They drove out until they reached the point where the trees were to thick to drive through.

The heat was new  for them both and Adonis already started to tan. Lee put some sunscreen on, she was tanish but not enough to not stop her from burning.

"We'll start here and then work our way up. I bought a satellite phone, we'll call the others when we get to a good spot." Adonis started to hike up, she looked at the trees they were thick and getting lost wouldn't be hard. She could hear birds and other wildlife. She started her way up, trying to be as fast a possible.
