Chapter Forty Six:
"You're alright, I got." I said rather firmly.
"Thanks!" He said taking my hand as we got away from the area. He was shooken up, I would be to if that was directly behind me.
The creature he'd been fighting was dead, half of its body blackened, the other half gone. Teresa stood over her foe, slamming the butt of her spear down and smashing the last bulb; its sparks died with a hiss. Minho was on the ground, but slowly getting to his feet. Newt stood there, breathing in and out, deep heaving breaths. Frypan doubled over and threw up. Some were lying on the ground; others―like Brenda and Jacob―still fighting the monsters, with assist from Curie and Nyx. Thunder boomed all around us and lightning glinted in the rain.
"I'll go finish up with them, whatever you decide, tell me so I can tell the other."
Thomas nodded as he made his way to Teresa, I towards the few fighting. Brenda was rather sluggish but managed to evade all of its attack's. Jacob had one left but he was out of steam. Suddenly he's shocked when the creature he's fighting stops moving followed by a loud pop. I got the last bulb in the back before stepping to his line of sight.
"Missed me?" I say rather laughing, even while it's becoming a hell of storm.
"Boy ever, just glad you made it when you did."
"Stick close gathering together" I said lobbing off the hand of the creature Brenda was facing."
"Ross?"
"Let's move, go get the others we need to get clear of the storm.'
Jane, Nyx and Curie caught up with as Brenda ran over to Thomas and the rest. It was just the five of us now, more and more rain pelted us, as I notice Thomas and Teresa hopping into a coffin. No frickin way.
"Come on, the storm only going to get worse we have to seek refuge in the coffins."
Nobody questions as we make our way before the lightning smites us all, Jane and Nyx get into one. Jacob and myself without second thought climb in followed by Curie. There was room but it wasn't ideal. Quickly the two of us sealed the coffins lid shut.
"Now what?"
"We ride it out, no matter how long."
'Now what, we made it.' I call out to Thomas.
'Theres ten minutes left, hopefully the storm will pass and we get you five the Cure.'
'Lets hope so.'
It was a tight fit but it worked. Curie sat quiet rather shaken up. The storm raging onwards, the heavy slams of water over head, as we sat in this tub shape coffin.
"So you think this is the Safe Haven?" Jacob asked.
"It would appear so, but I'm starting to lose hope, there might not be a Cure."
"Of course not, we know better, but still why infect us with a diease responsible for such horrible things. Lost of life, the Crank and the Trials. How close are they from finding the Cure now, from when we left. There is no assurance that there is one or of it works." Curie said rather hard-pressed on the matter.
"I'm starting to think the Trials are just that. Trials with no reward and all the consequences. We we're selected because we've been Immune, nothing's changed about that. Granted a small margin of error on there part. Plausibly there shouldn't be away to inject a Immune with a diease that's hasn't killed them from the start." I say rather upset on how much of the stuff they been feeding us.
"This is why I say our next move is tracking down the Right Arm, there still somewhere on this mountain." Jacob said.
"Agreed." Curie said.
Soon after there is a large thunder clap that rocks the coffin, scaring Curie. Three minutes I tell myself.
Abruptly a low sound getting louder in volume grew near, shaking my body with all sorts of vibration.
"What's going on?" Curie said.
"Not sure, but I'mma check it out. Help me open the lid." Jacob said
"Sure?" The Trial is over in nearly in hundred seconds, best we not let WICKED or whatever get the slip up on us."
It took a considerable amount of energy and will power to slid the lid off, I felt my arm shake from the pain. Everyone was out and about, more of the creatures latched out of remaining coffin's in the distance there is discernible sounds heading towards us.
A/N: Two short chapters are going to be posted today. It's my birthday so I feel extra creative with getting chapters out.
