(Coughing)

Integra, what's wrong?

It's (cough) nothing, Landon. I'm fine. (Cough)

Sis, you've been coughing for two days. Are you sure?

It's just a cold. I'll be fine.

Are you sure?

(Cough) Yes. Landon.

~O~

Geez, Integra, you've been in there for a while. Everything all right?

(Vomiting)

Integra? Integra, open the door! Integra!

(Vomiting) One minute… (Coughing) What is it, Landon?

Integ…Integra, you're sick.

No, I'm—

You're burning up!

It's just hot in here, Landon.

No. You're sick, sis! You're sick! I'm taking you to the hospital, go get in the car.

Landon, no.

Get in the car. Now.


A/N: Hey, guys, this was just a quick little thing I wrote over the course of three days or so. I decided to try out a new format, inspired by Crystalwren's "Nightwalker" (which I highly recommend. It was fantastic and it will blow your mind. It blew mine to Saturn), and also inspired by recent events in the news...which will come to light in further chapters.

And on another note, Landon is my character. Take a breather, he's not Integra's biological brother. He's only adopted. Arthur took him in when he was eight.
