She opened her eyes and raised up quick with a loud gasp following her movement. Where was I? Struck her mind. This isn't her usual bed, this is... . Her thoughts were colliding with each other and suddenly she fell back in bed. Her head started spinning and a sudden scream made her shriek. "Aah, thank the entity! You are awake", the sweet shrieking voice of the nurse ringed her ears. Next to Meg stood a floating woman. She wore white clothing and had a bag made out of cloth on her head. She sat down next to Meg on the bed and touched her soft cheek. "Everything will be alright Meg, just lay down and relax". The nurse made her way back to the old wooden door, looked a last time back and then left. Meg layed back and starred up onto the dusty ceiling. How do I always get myself in these situations?, she wondered.

Only a few minutes have passed and the door was banged opened. The sudden loud noise made Meg shrug together. Scared she looked over to Frank who had just entered the room, followed by the floating nurse. He was breathing loud and heavy. The aura around him was menacing and gave her the goosebumps. This is it Meg, it was nice knowing myself. She tought to herself. Every hair in her neck stood up straight and she sat there all frozen, starring right at him. ''You can quit the glaring Meg, you seem so frightened'', Frank said gasping for air and sat down on the chair. He placed down his mask and lowered his head. ''Who would have thought that... the moment I leave for a run, you decide to wake up?''. He touched her hand and looked her in the eyes. ''Meg how do you feel? You got me worried''. Meg didn't know what to say, he got her startled. For a moment she was very flustered, but then shock her head. ''There is nothing to worry about, I feel a little dizzy... but that's about it'', she replied uneasy with her situation. Frank continued stroking over her hand with his rough thumb to comfort her, but that might as well have given her the creeps. "Alright then, Frank go get her some water", the nurse commanded. Though he just hissed back to her. "That's not fair! I just ran here, gimme a break Sally!". He complained about the quest, though quickly complide when Sally gave him a fearsome expression. "Bring her some food as well Frank". "Yeah yeah whatever", he stood up and moved his buns. After closing the door the nurse took a further approach on Meg's health and figured that her fever had gone down. "You should be all right now, uhm... though I think you should remain another day and then go back to the campfire". Frank came back in with a glass of water and a sandwhich. "How long was I out for?", she asked and tried to make eye contact with her. "3 days", he responded to her question and delivered her meal.  "And how did I get here in the first place? It's nicer than at Anna's basement that's for sure". Frank smiled and told her how he rescued her from Anna's hut, carried her to his room in Ormond and about how he kept his promise. Meg tilted her head to the side. She couldn't recall him at all neither getting here. "Really I asked for that? Weird... doesn't sound like a me thing to say, but it's whatever", she responded to his story. Frank seemed to turn his excitement into disappointment and looked away embarrassed. "Though, I appreciate what you did for me", she said with a smile. "Thank you". Those few words made his heart warm up a little. "You know Meg, I really like the bond which we are sharing you know?", he grinned and shared a breave moment starring into her eyes. "Oh yeah? I guess you really do enjoy my company". "Yeah, I do. I hopee you don't mine either". The whole conversation made his heart thumb again and he became a little more nervouse. His hand went for his mask and he was about to put it back on, but Meg grabbed his hand, preventing him to do so. "Why do you always hide your face?", she asked wondering and he lowered his mask looking her straight in the eyes. "To not show symphaty with my victims... atleast that's what I normally use it for. Though you are different". "In what way am I any different to any other survivor?". "I... I... I think... I-", he continued stuttering and then decided to just completely ignore her question. "You know, I saw you wearing a white mask. And I don't know if you noticed, but masks are kinda our thing. We started out with complete white masks as well and then later changed them up. It made me wonder if you were some sort of admirer of ours?", he laughed softly and grinned at her. "Ehm, no... not really hahaha. The mask was granted from the entity to me and I took some sort of liking for it". She smiled. "Would you maybe want to try to be a Legion member for a while? It's really fun! I swear, slicing up these survivors and running around like crazy sounds like work, but it helps to release all that stress and negativity in your body!", he was so very hyped about the idea of her joining that he jumped off his chair and held her hands. "I think you misunderstood me. I hate to see my friends in pain and your offer is just idiotic. I could never hurt someone.", the proposed idea made her voice shiver. "Oh Meg, we were all virgins in that case until we performed and found liking in it. Just like with sex.", he laughed. "You can't have an opinion on such without ever trying it out.". His smile wider by the minute. He really wanted her on the team. Since it would make a lot of things easier for him. He would see her regularly, they could become an official couple, have sex and children in the nearby future. Unreal thoughts were racing through his mind. He looked up from his thoughts and saw a terrified Meg and Nurse just sitting on the edge of the bed judging his idea. "I think I will leave the both of you alone, Frank I placed some medicine on your desk. Make sure she takes them.", she stood up and left the room in second and her scream echoed through the room.

"I think Frank, I am good the way I am. I don't need to kill my friends to see where I belong.".
