I wanna thank everyone who read, reviewed, followed or favored either me/this story. Means a lot to me to hear from people and know that others are enjoying my works. I can't tell you how happy I am to know that either. Okay, now onto the chapter. NOTICE: may wanna pay a little more attention folks, this might get either really confusing or go by really fast—habit of mine every now and then.

I jolted right up in bed, sweat pouring off my face as I tried to bring my heart-rate back down and breathing quite labored as I glanced around where I was located. I don't quite remember how I got here…no, it's coming back to me now. My sister and I had ran into those other survivors. They seemed as shocked as the two of us that there were other people. Of course, the guy holding the gun to our faces was our older brother, Shane, and from the look on his face he didn't expect to see either one of us here. Needless to say, as I sat there thinking, it'd be fortunate to know that someone in our family had been searching for us. I just wish that it'd happened before we had become part of the pack.

THE PACK?!

Shit. I don't remember if anything happened with them. I am pretty sure that we had gone back to get Britney. At least I'm hoping that we did because I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if we'd forgotten about that child.

Glancing around I realize that I'm in a hospital room. Wonderful. Hopefully I haven't been institutionalized because that would really suck—there is just no way that I would be able to make up everything that both me and my sister had gone through. Sure, it sounds like a real nice, horrific story, but again, I've got the scars to prove that everything had happened. Last thing I need is some shrink trying to tell me that everything I had been through had been nothing but a bad dream. I'll look at them and call it 'bullshit'. I've got no problems in doing that whatsoever.

My eyes snapped to the door as it creaked open.

"Hey, sis."

I relaxed a little seeing Kelly walking into the room. "Hey, yourself."

She looked around. "I thought they'd put us in the same room, but they wanted to keep you away to make sure that you didn't have any infections. You were in pretty bad shape towards the end of all that."

I blinked. "Um…what?"

Kel looked concerned. "You don't remember?"

Silence.

"I know that I'd been sick and injured several times," I state carefully. "But I have no idea what happened after we ran into Shane and the others."

Kel shuddered. "We were attacked. By another pack of raptors."

My eyes narrowed. "The same ones that we fought from before that time?"

She nods. "Yeah. Didn't think that was possible. I was sure that they were all dead."

I frown. "Hell, so did I." I shake my head as it starts to hurt a little. "So what happened after that?"

Again, silence.

"Kel?" I'm getting just a little bit worried now.

She shakes her head. "I'd rather not talk about it right now, sis. Maybe once we get out of here we can, but…I just can't."

Okay, well, that just makes me all the more curious about what the hell happened to me. I mean, was it that bad. Probably since she's unable to even talk about it with me at this point in time. That's a first for sure. Normally, no matter what's happened, my sister was always able to come to me with anything. That's just how we were, especially after being trapped on the island—which reminds me…

"How'd we get out?"

"Chopper," she replies, looking at the wall.

Okay. "Did we manage to get the kid outta there?"

Kel nods. "Yeah…sorta."

A deep chill took root in my chest. "What do you mean, sorta?"

Kelly shook her head again, breathing a little difficult. Took me a moment to realize that she was trying not to sob and I knew instantly that we may've gotten her out, but that didn't mean she survived long enough to actually make it. I could only hope that we hadn't left her body there because that would kill me all the more. I was beating the hell out of myself already.

"Goddamn it," I hiss, hands clenched into fists as I tried to reign in my emotions. Don't think I was doing too good of a job.

"It wasn't your fault Dar," Kel whispers, coming over to hug me tightly. "She died trying to save you." That still didn't make me feel any better. "But you did save her."

Huh? "What?"

Kel smiled gently at me, looking slight to my right. "She's right over there."

I look to where she did. Think my jaw hit the floor when I finally realize that girl was sleeping in a bed right next to me. She was hooked up to various machines, but breathing. Honestly, I wanna know what happened because this was just plain weird for me. I mean, I've been injured before and managed to keep my memories, but this? How in the hell could I forget something like this? It doesn't make any sense. None whatsoever.

"How?"

Kel smiles. "We'll talk about it later. Besides, I don't think I can without having another breakdown."

WHEN THE FUCK DID SHE HAVE ONE OF THOSE?!

"Shane is gonna come back here in a few hours to check us out," she says after a few moments of silence. "Well, as long as she's all right too. If not, then we're gonna stay."

We are?

"Okay," I reply, still a little dumbfounded, but right now a little too tired to even bother asking questions when I know that I won't be getting the answers at the moment. "Let me guess, we gotta talk to a head doctor."

Kel nods. "Yeah and a few government officials too."

Great. Sounds like a blast. "That sounds fun," I mutter bitterly. "Get the feeling that we're gonna be asked to keep quiet about what happened."

It wasn't a question, but she answered anyway. "Yup." She looks at the clock. "We better get some more rest. At least before the doctors show up."

"Yeah." I watch my sister leave, laying down and allowing my eyes to stray to the little girl that we—somehow—managed to get out of there. I allowed my mind to drift as I closed my eyes. As much as I didn't feel it, my body needed the rest and so I slept.

Yes, it's short, but not every ending should be long and fully detailed. Did I leave in a bunch of loop holes? Of course. Not every story ends with all ends tied up and this story is one of them. I will be making a sequel to this, but I won't post it until it's either half way done or completely written out. So with that said, this is the end—finally after all this time—of JP: Survival. I do hope you all enjoyed it and please don't kill me for doing this. Or ending it in such a way that I have—this was my plan the whole time. Any questions? Feel free to ask me. I don't mind, but don't expect me to give out any spoilers of anything. -grins- Yes, I am evil. -sinister laughter-
