I woke up in a blur. There is a blanket over me and I am laying on the couch. My throat is raw and i look around for a drink. "Oh hey, your up" Seth walk in from no where's "I just went to the store you thirsty. " I stare at him not fully comprehending what he was saying. He comes over to me pouring a glass of Ginger places his hand against my forehead it feels nice. I don't understand though, if he's supposed to be evil why is he helping me I'm weak and helpless he could get rid of me right now.

I take a sip of Ginger ale handing the guy who should be killing me the cup. Laying back down I fall back to sleep, pulling the blanket around me some more. Its freezing in here.

*Seth Prov*

Ugh I don't know what to think anymore. I should be killing him but I love Grace and I don't want this kid out of my world. To think all I'm doing for him caring, feeding, hydrating, heck even cleaning up his puke.

The TV shoots on volume changing constantly, lights are flickering, and alarms are going off. I run over to the technopash who's thrashing, mumbling, and crying.

"Ryan, Ryan wake up"

he opens his eyes and fear fills them, "don't hurt me anymore" he's crying. Wait do I scare him. He's so young. I'm not going to stop the monsters but I will save him a spot.

A scream pulls me from my thoughts. Ryan is clutching his head crying. Leaning over the trash he vomits, passing out on the couch. I grab the thermometer 104.5°F. Calling Grace I ask her what to do, she explain the this is normal for him and to go get a cold wet washcloth and the prescription pills directed for Ryan. The pills should be given with his next eating of food and they he should wake up the next day.
