And that's where you all came in at.

But now I was alone in the room with only dead bodies to keep me company.

I had woken up after that last round of drugs Sam had given me wore off… and I was alone.

I didn't think I would die alone, but it was looking like that was how it was going to happen.

Then Reaper and Sam came running into the lab.

"Aidan." John ran over to me. "Aidan, we have to leave."

He was leaving me here! He couldn't do that!

"D-don't leave m-me." It came out as a whimper.

"No." He said. "You're coming with us."

"She's losing blood fast, John. If I remove the IV, she'll die."

"If we leave her here, she'll die!" He yelled at Sam. He wrapped a blanket around me, getting ready to carry me to the Ark.

"Chromosome 24." Same said, stopping John. "It could keep her alive."

"Or turn her into one of those monsters!"

Wait! I don't want to be one of those things!

"It's her only chance!" John looked down at me.

"Okay." Sam put a syringe into a container, and then injected it into my IV.

"John." I whispered. He leaned down. "If I turn into one of those things, kill me."

"You won't… you're too good." He told me.

"Promise me, please. I don't want to be trapped as one of those things… promise me."

"I promise." Sam removed the IV and helped me pull a scrub shirt on. John picked me up and ran with me in his arms to the Ark.

"It was you." I whispered as his scent filled my senses.

"What?" He asked.

"That night, after my birthday… the night after the dick attacked me… It was you." I was having trouble breathing now… my lungs felt like they were on fire, a thick layer of mucus building up in their passage ways making my diaphragm work harder at trying to push air through them. "You were the one who carried me to bed… You were the one who carried me to bed… it was you."

"Yeah." He whispered to me. "It was me." He set me down as Sam came over and helped me stand up… God it hurt so bad. "I'll go through first so I can catch her. You help her, and then get yourself through."

"Okay." Sam said as John stepped into the Ark.

"Your brother is an amazing person." I breathed.

"Yeah… and he likes you." She smiled sadly at me. "Don't leave us, okay?" She helped me to the Ark and I fell into the silvery blob.
