Kelly was still standing outside of the hut,gaze fixed on the ocean. She had screwed up. She knew it. She wanted to do something but felt to tired right now. She sat at the sand that was already dry. Jill came out.

''How is she?'' she asked her, still looking at the horizon.

''No clue. She's... really bad. She's coughin' blood Kell...''

''We should move. And fast. Hide somewhere.''

''I don't understand... Why do these people want us?''

''Dunno.''

''It's creepy.''

''Is she conscious?''

''In your dreams! She's passed out long ago.''

Kelly sighed. She was worried. Even though she couldn't she why, she was worried.

''Jill... she could've sold us out. She didn't.''

''I'll say that right back at you. You're the one that called her a murderer, you know.''

''I know.''

''If you two weren't doing all of this nothing would have happened!''

''Are you saying that it is my fault?''

''Not only, but yeah! You should have waited. Now she's half dead and probably won't wake again!''

''But-''

''There is nothing else! Just admit it! You were wrong!''

''True.'' she replied bluntly and got up.

Kelly rubbed her eyes and paced towards Sabrina, still lying on the ground, motionless. She sighed as she knelt and held a bottle to her lips, put a hand to her shoulder lifting her to siting position,tilting it so she could drink. She didn't seem to understand it. A soft groan escaped her lips as she slightly changed position.

Kelly hesitated. Should she try to wake her? Or it would be better to leave her sleeping?

''Hey... Sabrina?''

She slowly opened her eyes and closed them.

''Oh... you... again...'' she choked.

Kelly laughed still holding her.

''How ya feelin' ?''

''Beaten.''

''Oh yes, you are. Anything else?''

Her expression changed suddenly. She shook her body and somehow managed to crawl behind a bush. Kelly stood surprised till she got worried.

''Hey, Sabrina? You okay there?''

''Shut up...'' came the response, along with other noises.

When she overcame the nausea that she was feeling she returned with Jill's assistance, who had apparently appeared out of nowhere.

Kelly lowered her head in understanding and sat next to her.

''Were you dying behind there?''

''Nope... ya know... I was once taken by a foster guy... '' she said and closed her eyes.

''So? Was he nice?'' asked Kelly, trying to keep her awake.

''Oh, sure... after he beat the crap...outta me...''

''Oh...''

Sabrina chuckled and stood still. She opened her eyes and stared, her vision blur, but making eye contact.

''So... Kelly...''

''I'm sorry...''

''Skip that... Just...''

''Just?''

''Ya know... nobody's gonna take care of you... so eventually you'll have to learn to defend yourself.''

''I do pretty nice, I think.''

''No ya don't. You set up barriers and block out even people who want to help ya. Think of it.''

She stopped and coughed. Then she nodded to Kelly who left her down.

''I'll do fine. Get some sleep. We gotta go first thing.''

''Yeah. Take care.''

''I was pretty pathetic, wasn't I?''

''I didn't notice.''

Her voice was hoarse and slightly shaky. ''Good.'' She tried her best to smile.

Jill approached and cried out happily.

''You're better?''

''I wouldn't say that but... she is, pretty much...alive'' sighed Kelly and sat next to the

fire.

Sabrina allowed Jill to clean the blood of her face gently with a wet cloth.

''I'm fine. Sleep now, okay?'' she said.

''Are you sure?''

''Except that my nose must be like an eggplant? Yeah.''

''Sure-sure-sure?''

''Yes Jill.''

''Don't be mad at Kelly. She just feels guilty she-''

''I'm not! Just sleep!''

She closed her eyes and relaxed. Her ribs felt sore, so was her face. Her nose and her lips were bloody. She tasted blood, but let it pass. She wanted to die but she was too tired to do even that. You're miserable Sabrina, she thought. Very,very,very miserable, pathetic and disgusting. Now shut down and sleep.

She woke at the first sun rays she felt on her cheek and tried to get up. No way dude, she added, staying on her back as the pain shot sharp through her.

You're pathetic Sabrina. Simply pathetic. Layin' on your back all day kid? Time to get moooovin'!

She tried sitting. That was okay. But more movin'? No way...

Jill giggled somewhere close. She turned and saw her approach. She decided to stay on her back.

''How are you?'' asked Jill with concern.

''Better.''

She glanced at the loose ropes hanging from her wrists and took them of with Jill's help.

''Do you guys still think I'm dangerous?''

Jill remained silent. Sabrina sighed. That means ''Yes,you're a freak'' probably.

Jill laughed.''I don't.''

''You don't?''

''Yeah... even if you are you got no reason to harm us, so... it's fine by me.''

''Can I have it back?''

''What?''

''My release acknowledgment''

''I don't have it. Kelly has.''

''Where is she?''

''In the hut, sleeping.''

''Okay.''

''Don't get up!''

''Uh...okay. Like I could. Pathetic.''

''Who did you attack?''

''A guy.''

''I figured that much.''

''So that is. A guy.''

''An absolutely normal guy?''

''He's probably gonna have me killed the minute I set foot in LA.''

''So, you were going to LA?''

''Yeah.''

''Why?''

''Can you stop asking questions?''

''Sorry.''

''Don't be. Just stop it.''

''Okay.''

Sabrina sat again, with her back on a tree.''You?''

''Me?''

''Yeah. You got family?''

''My mom, my sister. Dad died a couple o' years ago.''

''Sorry to hear it.''

''Heart attack. I somehow knew it.''

''Health problems?''

''Drinking.''

''Oh...''

''Sucks.''

''Dunno.''

''It does.''
