Johnny
"Hey!" I called out to her. She turned around to reveal the person behind her. Laura. "What're you doing here, little girl?"
"Johnny, you're the one who infected her?" Laura asked me as though she thought me incapable of such a thing. I could and I did.
"Yeah, and she's better off with it," I informed him.
"She could die," Laura countered.
"Not if we keep talking in her sleep and she's with me," I assured her.
"Stop it! Both of you!" she shouted. "It's my life, I choose how to live it. Laura says that she can cure me. I want to try it."
"Please, don't!" I shouted, running toward her.
"Why should you care! It's all about getting me pregnant so that you can see if my kin with be able to survive better than the mother does!" she shouted angrily, glaring at me as though she wished me dead.
"Please," I begged. "I want to get to know you, for you. If it was just about the whole evil scientist thing, I wouldn't waste my time when I can have any other girl I choose." Her gaze softened.
"Do it, Laura," she said finally. Laura began concentrating, saying random words. I could see that she was suffering, she screamed out in pain. I ran toward her, throwing fire as I came. I snatched her out of Laura's reach and ran off with her. She was unconscious.
"This is it," I told myself. "Do it now and then you'll never have to see her again." I looked at her face, pale from shock and lack of energy. Her body lay limp in my arms. I couldn't do it. I knew all along, from the moment I'd chosen this girl. I couldn't do it.
