Chapter 16: The right choice
"Sophia, Sil'fer, we need to head back. The Germ seems to be gathering around us." Break frowned as they warped back to the first area. He and Sophia both had the same thought on their mind: Sil'fer's survival. The quest will have to wait.
Sil'fer grimaced in pain and collapsed, her breathing short and shallow.
Break was running low on Fluids. "Anti! Shifta! Resta!" He proceeded to pick her up and start their long trek back.
"Break, use my antidote on her." Sophia handed over the vial.
"Sophia!" Break couldn't believe his ears. Sophia hadn't vaccinated herself.
"Do it, Break. I might make it yet." She lied through gritted teeth, forcing a smile.
Break looked back with much sadness in his eyes. He understood her decision and the seriousness of the situation.
"It's entering her bloodstream. Save her before it's too late."
Trying not to think, he stabbed the vial straight into the unconscious HUnewearl's chest and they watched the potion take immediate effect.
She did not wake, but Sophia felt relieved. At least she would be okay now.
Without another word, they ran.
