Falling Apart

Olivia had figured that it was about two weeks maybe that they had been in the hospital. She could hear thoughts of people relaxing a bit and getting back to normal. Olivia was smart though she never tried to relax and let this hospital become her normal. Nothing would be normal again and she was smart enough to know that. She watched out her window as Maggie and Hal went on patrol. Olivia felt a smile come to her face as Ben came in the room. They may have started out as just the alien freaks but they both know that they proved it was something more after the Alexander incident. Olivia tried to ignore the fact that Ben was still trying to hide things but sometimes she went back to say too much.

"So how's the resistance?" Olivia asked tired of ignoring the fact that he was still hiding stuff from her.

"I don't know." Ben said slurping up his soup.

"Sure you don't." Olivia mumbled.

"You know Olivia you digging in business that's not yours isn't cool!" Ben yelled and walked off.

Olivia walked off hating when she did stuff like that but then it hit her Ben was part of the problem too. She got angry but once Ben walked back after a few minutes and apologized they were back on their schedule of alien freakiness. They were playing their question game when panic took over. Olivia saw a girl in Hal's arms and she knew that she was part of the 2nd Mass by the feelings of confusion that consumed Hal.

"We need to go to the front doors quick." Olivia said running for the doors.

They both made it just in time to see Hal and Maggie walk up. "Don't let her in. She's still connected." Ben said quickly.

"How do you know?" Tom asked quickly.

"I can hear it." Ben said weakly.

No one seemed to notice that Olivia wasn't part of the welcome party. She seemed frozen in the spot where she stood several yards away from the doors. It wasn't until Karen was inside the psych ward that she could move. She felt as if she were paused in a movie. And she didn't like the feeling. Olivia also seemed to forget what was happening and why she was heading for the front doors. She saw the drops of blood before she felt them. Olivia was confused and needed answers, but she didn't know who to ask. Her thoughts went blank when it came to names but faces came up. She started to wander around as the names came to match the faces. I was maybe two, three before Olivia knew everything that she had forgotten. A lot seemed to have gone wrong. Weaver was prepping to have his blood heated, Karen's up to no good but Olivia couldn't seem to break the wall that surrounded Karen's thoughts. That's when she felt Ben's mind come into the scene but for a few moments it seemed like he just vanished.

Olivia didn't know what to do. She felt even more alone than she had in the time that she was on the ship. She found a small corner to hide out in till her head was clear from the confusion that welled up around her from everyone's thoughts. She lost track of what time it was. She could feel panic as the power went out while Weaver's blood heating stuff was going on. Tom had to pump it manually but not for too long.

Olivia found Ben's mind soon after. He seemed to be confused about stuff that she had never seen. She didn't pry to much more than that. Olivia attempted to clear her head. It was a lot later than she had expected. It was slowly growing darker and Olivia felt the tension building up in the hospital. She knew something was going to happen the problem was when and what. It wasn't long till things started to happen.

Olivia could feel pain from Maggie, then cool night air from Hal and then a lack of air. Olivia shot up and began to search for Ben to see what was going on. It didn't take long to find him though. The corner Olivia was hiding in was not too far from the place where Ben and Karen jumped off the roof. Before they could get to far into the forest Olivia shouted, "Ben! What are you doing?"

"Keeping us safe." He said as Olivia walked closer.

"What do you mean? We're perfectly safe with the 2nd Mass." Olivia said with confusion written on her face.

"Not you and me. Me and Karen. We're different." Ben said quickly.

"What?" Olivia said sharply.

"Olivia you could be normal if you just stopped using your powers. Me and Karen well we'll just be known as the 'razor backs' and I don't want her to know what it feels like to have everyone you've ever trusted look at you like some freak." Ben was nearly yelling by the end.

"I can't just shut this thing off Ben!" Olivia screamed back.

"You look normal! You don't have spikes coming out of your back! You pretend to understand but it's all just a lie!" Ben screamed.

Olivia didn't answer for a long time. When Ben tried to apologize she cut him off with, "Ben you need help and if you think this is how to get it then do it. Don't worry you won't have the 'normal alien' with you. Run off and do whatever. See if I care." Olivia finished as she walked away.

Not long after Olivia left Ben and Karen to go out on their adventure a voice told her to follow. Even if she wanted she couldn't break free and run to camp for help. Her mind was empty all she could do was walk to where the voice was coming from. She walked into a small road with a small cliff like thing next to it. She knew Ben and Karen were close but she only stopped when a fish head and several Mechs and Skitters appeared. The fish head came closer to Olivia and she just looked up at it with fear growing inside her.

You had such promise. Now you must pay for your disobedience. The voice that drew her there said as a Skitter came up next to her. She didn't pay attention to it what the Skitter was doing she just watched as the fish head walked farther down the road. She heard Karen's voice saying something about the resistance.

Hal had insisted on coming to get Ben even if he was nearly strangled. His dad told him to flank the group from farther up. That's when he saw Olivia fall to her knees as a Skitter walked toward the fish head. After he was sure the coast was clear he ran to her side. She was gasping and her nose was bleeding.

"Olivia? Are you ok? Olivia can you hear me?" Hal asked in a quiet urgent voice. She gave a quick nod then pointed to where the gun shots had started. "I'll be back ok?" He said as he ran off to help the rest of the group that came to stop Ben and Karen.

It didn't take long for the shots to stop. Olivia was still sitting where she was when Hal left. Hal wasn't the first to come back to Olivia. Karen came up to her and gave an evil little smile.= and crouched in front of Olivia.

"You'll die slow and alone." Karen said putting her hand on Olivia's shoulder and pushing her to her back as she got up.

Olivia blacked out just as Hal came running back. He picked her up and got her past the alien fire and behind the barricade of the 2nd Mass. He ran her to Dr. Glass but she wasn't to be found

"What happened?" Tom asked confused what had happened to her.

"I don't know. I found her like this before the fighting started." Hal said sitting her on one of the beds. "Where's Dr. Glass?"

"She's in the basement. Jamil went to go get them." Tom said. "Stay here till Anne gets back. I have to talk to our hostage. Does Ben know about her, does he?"

"Don' think so." Hal replied.

"Let's keep it that way till this is over." Tom said walking out the door.

Hal got comfortable but when Weaver asked him to check out an alternative exit with Maggie he had to leave. He tried to argue but Weaver said Dr. Glass would be back at any second. Olivia woke up not long after everything started to go downhill. Her thoughts were dragged to several different places. One was the basement where Dr. Glass, Lourdes, and Matt were. Another was the psych ward were the fish head was using Ben to talk to Tom. The last was with Hal and Maggie worrying about the spider looking alien things. When Olivia tried to get up she nearly fell over. She eventually did when she was close to the door and the small garbage can that was next to it. She was soon throwing up blood into the garbage can. She sat her back against the cool wall and just looked up wondering what they had done to her. Something soon seemed strange to her. The thoughts of the hospital were becoming muffled. Olivia tried to stand but gave up and just crawled to the counter where the sink was. She forced herself up and looked into the shiny surface of the sink and saw a small dark green circle surrounding her pupils. She stumbled back to the bed she was on when she woke up. Olivia tried to calm down but as the noises grew quiet she couldn't help panic.

"Ben just wait a few minutes!" Hal screamed from the hall.

"No Hal! You said something happened and I want to know!" Ben screamed back as he walked in. "What happened? Are you ok?"

"No…no nothings ok." Olivia said rocking on the bed trying to keep from having anything else come up.

"What happened?" Ben asked with a serious look on his face.

"I…I think…nothing never mind." Olivia gave a smile. "I'm sure it's nothing Dr. Glass can't fix."

"You sure?" Ben asked.

"Positive." Olivia gave a reassuring smile.

"Ok…I have to get stuff ready for or move to Charleston. Be back later." Ben said walking out looking back before he walked out the door.

Hal waited a few minutes before speaking. "Something's wrong. Tell me." Hal demanded.

"Hal…I think I'm dying…" Olivia said quietly.
