Chapter 10
"Virus"
Tanya went into the bedroom that Tiffany was in and sat on the edge of the bed. she stroked Tiffany's pale cheek. She's cold. If things keep going like this, she'll... She took a hot towel and placed it over the upper half of Tiffany's torso. Please, don't leave me. I don't want to be alone again. She got up and left the room. I can already feel it. The urge to cry and go into one of my Witch moments. If Tiffany dies, I... I'll lose it. She walked down the stairs to the living room. She looked out the window to the fields surrounding the building. We escaped the city, cleared out this farm, set up here for a few months, and for what? Tiffany to die of sickness? She went over and sat on the couch, holding her head in her hands. She stayed like that for an hour before looking up, tears streaming down her face. I wish I never survived in that subway. She got up and headed to Tiffany again. She climbed into the bed and hugged the little girl closely and quietly cried.
Tiffany slowly opened her eyes and spoke in a raspy voice. "Tanya?"
Tanya flinched and looked at Tiffany's face.
Tiffany's eyes looked dull and tired. "Will you be staying with me today?"
Tanya nodded.
"Good. I don't know why, but I feel like if you left my sight, I'd never see you again."
Tanya buried her face into Tiffany's shoulder.
Tiffany patted Tanya's back weakly before going limp.
Tanya cried more audibly as she held Tiffany. She cried for hours before getting out of the bed and sitting on the floor, crying. I can't... Her mind went blank as her Witch nature finally took over.
A few survivors came into the farm and sneaked around. One of the survivors heard a Witch crying and whispered. "Lights off." The survivors shut off their lights and headed up the stairs and opened the door to Tiffany's room. They see a Witch sitting on the floor next to the bed, crying.
One of the survivors with a shotgun silently moved towards the Witch and aimed at the back of her head. He then noticed Tiffany's body and sighed. He started to pull the trigger.
The Witch hit the barrel of the shotgun away as it went off and slashed the survivor's stomach open.
The survivor screamed as the rest started shooting at the Witch.
The Witch shrieked and attacked them.
Gunshots and screams filled the inside of the farm house.
