Nick's Pov

We finally made it to a military outpost. When we first got there, we were hosed down and were checked for small viruses. Then we got to the test for the Green Flu. We were taken in one by one, each of the tests taking about ten minutes. We were with another group of a bunch of twelve year-olds, which I couldn't believe made it through this Hell.

One particular girl with black hair with a turquoise streak in it was watching me intently. Her abdomen was wrapped heavily in bandages, and there was still blood soaking them. Her eyes were a startling stormy gray. She had a ripped black skirt, dirtied white socks, and a soiled black shirt. What was most noticeable was her porcelain skin, as white as snow. Reminded me a bit of an emo Snow White.

I turned my head away from observing the girl after a doctor came out towards her quickly. I faintly heard their conversation.

"Hello, Dear. How are you feeling? What's your name?" the doctor asked.

There was silence, with slight tapping. I felt as if she was using sign language, which I understand a bit, after staying in a casino full of mute people and dealers.

"That's a beautiful name, Marilynn. Ok, just sit on this table, and we'll get started," the woman answered quickly.

Then the procedure went on, and the girl came out with a slight blush, which appeared very heavy on her light skin.

I was called last, and I got my procedures done. They looked interested in my DNA, which worried me a bit, but at least I don't feel as anxious as Marilynn looked. And that's saying a lot.

We stayed in barracks for the night, boys and girls separated. I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about Coach. I cried silently, knowing I didn't even attempt to take him with us. This was all my fault, that he couldn't come with us.

The next morning, new people were pulled out and told about their DNA results. While we waited, a girl with red hair came over with tears in her eyes. She glanced at Marilynn hesitantly and looked down at her stained shirt.

"You are a carrier. Marilynn looked through your files last night. She's gonna… She's gonna pretend as if.. She's the carrier. Marilynn switched the files. She's going to die for you, Nick. My own girlfriend.. By the way, my name's Sabrina. Just.. Be thankful, ok?" the girl explained quietly.

I sat there, dumbfounded. Soon, a bulky man stepped in, holding a small note, probably telling who was infected; Marilynn.

He beckoned Marilynn forward, I heard her gulp, and she sat up quietly, and shakily.

The man took all of us to a large, metal covered room. He put Marilynn up against a wall. She shed a couple of tears. The man held up a pistol, getting ready to shoot it.

"Wait! It's me! I'm the actual carrier! She just switched our files. Redo my DNA, you'll see it's actually me and not her, dammit!" I yelled angrily.

The girl's eyes widened, and she looked at me carefully, fearfully.

I sighed, and walked up to the wall. I pushed Marilynn gently back to Sabrina.

"Thanks for trying kid, but.. God knows I deserve this judgement." I muttered into her ear. She looked at me sadly. She made hand gestures towards me. I read them carefully, and slowly.

"At least I tried to save you. I guess I can't even save one person in this Hell we call Earth"

I nodded, and walked up. I fell to my knees, and spread my arms. I looked at the ground.

"I guess this is goodbye. I'm going to real Hell this time." I whispered.

Suddenly, I hear a commotion and someone bursts into the room. I see a pair of black sneakers which were stained with dirt, blood, and bile. I look up farther, dirtied khaki pants. I see the torso. A yellow and purple shirt with the letter FHS on the breast area. I finally see the face of the person that I thought was supposed to be dead. My dearly loved one, My only true love.

It was Coach

~So how'd you think of it? Noice twist I put in there, huh? Haha. I really hoped you liked this chapter! Just imagine Through the Fire and Flames playing near the end as Coach and Nick see each other, and the rest should be Sound of Silence by Disturbed. Anyways, Good Day, Mortals!
