The darkness enveloped Lizard. The late night chill swept around her, making her wish she had her jacket. She shivered again. Maybe it wasn't the air that was making her so cold. She looked down at her stomach where the blood was running even after she had applied pressure. Her back hurt too and she could feel where the blood was seeping down her skin. Her head hurt too, there was a bloody cut on the back of it too. Her eye was swelling where Mike had punched her. Her whole body was covered in bruises. She felt like crying but she couldn't. Tears just wouldn't come. *Just a few more minutes* she thought, *just a few more minutes*
At Mt. Horizon…
Peter: She should be back by now.
Sophie: Yeah. I know. I'm getting worried.
Peter and Sophie are walking around the grounds of Mt. Horizon.
Lizard shivered again but a small smile appeared on her face. She could see the buildings of Mt. Horizon. Clutching her stomach, she stumbled toward them.
Peter: Did you hear that?
Sophie: Hear what?
Peter: Who's there?
Sophie: Peter? What's going on?
Peter squinted. Sophie looked as well.
Sophie: OMG. Peter there's somebody walking out there.
Peter: (louder) Who's there?
Lizard walks into view. She's clutching her stomach and she looks like crap.
Lizard: Hey Peter.
Peter: Lizard? What's wrong?
Sophie hurries over to Lizard and lets out a scream.
Lizard: That's exactly how I felt.
Lizard falls to the ground in a faint.
In the dorms. Sophie's scream wakes them up.
Shelby: Did you hear that?
Daisy nods in response, she's already putting her shoes on. Juliette and Shelby do the same. Once outside they see Scott, Auggie, David, and Ezra already heading toward the source of the noise. Kids from other groups are also looking around. Suddenly an ear-splitting siren is heard. Shelby starts running. The other kids follow. Suddenly they see Sophie crying on Frank's shoulder and Peter bent over someone.
Shelby: What's going on, Peter?
Peter: (in a hoarse voice) Go back to bed, Shelby.
Shelby: No. Not until I know what's going on.
Daisy: It's Lizard, isn't it?
Sophie cries harder. Shelby runs up to Peter and gasps.
Shelby: All that blood. omg.
Frank grabs Shelby and pulls her away.
Frank: Go back to your dorms, all of you. NOW!
Slowly all the kids except for the cliffhangers have left.
Frank: You all go as well.
Auggie: We're not going. We're staying.
Scott: Ya, we're staying.
Frank begins to respond but the ambulance pulls up. The paramedics get out and put Lizard on a gurney.
Paramedic: (to the other paramedic) She's lost a lot of blood. Weak pulse. Alright, let's go.
Peter: I'm riding with her. (jumps into the ambulance.)
Shelby: I want to go, too.
Sophie: We'll all go. C'mon.
I love suspense… :P
