The only way I could see in the corridor was because of the dull lights on mine and Nolan's trackers. I stumbled over to him and gently touched his shoulder. "What the hell happened?" I asked quietly.
"Your tracker blew the lights. Duh." I frowned in the darkness.
"Look, I'm not too clued up on this whole tracker thing; I don't know why things happen with it."
"And you obviously want me to give you all the answers."
"You're the bad boy who doesn't have a reason to be here."
"You have no idea why I'm here!" He roared. I cringed and cowered away from him. His tracker flashed a bright red.
"Calm down No-"
"No! I will not calm down!" Even in the gloom I could see him prowling off. He was walking quickly, nearly at a jogging pace. I scrambled up and followed him at, what I thought, was a safe distance. He started to mutter to himself, I could only catch a few snippets of what he was saying. "Can't believe…2 year old could…Can someone really-Wait." He snapped his head to the left and I could see his eye glittering dangerously. The tone of a maniac floated from his mouth to my ears. "Come out, come out wherever you are Delphi…You can't hide for long…" I stepped away from him quickly, not enjoying being so near to him. "Come on…You're here somewhere…I can hear you…" He crooned, turning fully around. He held his hands out in front of him, fingers turned into claws. I gulped and staggered backwards, trailing my fingertips over the wall to my left. 2 sounds filled my ears then. The scrape of metal against wood and the constant thundering of footsteps. An explosive pain shot through my right shoulder and I screamed in pain before collapsing to the floor.
Hey! Yes, I'm talking to you! You need to wake up! Come on, wake up! My conscience screamed at me. I felt someone shake my shoulder and I cried out in agony. "We need to pull the knife out now, before she loses anymore blood." I got stabbed? By who? Oh wait, Nolan, it has to be his fault. Well, he did go insane. My eyes fluttered open but I closed them again immediately. I didn't want to see her right now. "Miss Erwin," the voice was steely but gentle. It was Clovis. "We're going to pull the knife out of your shoulder. Try not to scream." I bit my tongue to stop myself from saying something rude. In one swift movement, I felt the blade being pulled from my shoulder. I couldn't help but scream. It was painful. A set of footsteps came from down the corridor. "Is everyone alright? I heard a scream." I snapped open my eyes and sat up.
"Well as a matter of fact, I just had a knife pulled out of my shoulder." The newcomer didn't deserve that comment, but I wasn't in a good mood. A sense of nausea came over me and I swayed. I pressed a hand at to my forehead, breathing deeply through the sickening feeling. I blinked in surprise suddenly. "Who turned the lights on?"
"No-one, its morning Miss Erwin."
"Morning?"
"Morning." Clovis confirmed. My stomach rumbled loudly; I hadn't eaten for 24 hours. I tried to stand so I could go to the dining car but I immediately fell down. A supportive hand gripped my upper arm and helped me up. It was the person who had just arrived. "Slow down, you lost a lot of blood, you won't be able to do much for a few hours." He smiled warmly at me. That was the last thing I saw before blacking out. In my unconscious state, I dreamt.
It was a beach, similar to the one where Davvid handed me over to the authorities. The only difference was that it wasn't Davvid stood there with his golden hair and gleaming eyes, no. It was Clovis. I was simply an observer of what was going on. "Don't go with him Miss Erwin. I beg of you don't go."
"I have to…" I watched me say. "I'm sorry Clovis, but I have to…" A single tear came to his eye and he turned away.
"You don't understand though. Ever since I met you-" The sound of gunfire erupted through the beach and he fell to the floor, chest spurting blood. He was…Dead… I ran to his side just as the other me did. "No, Clovis…No!" She bent over his body, crying. It was, heart wrenching to say the least. She stood up and walked to my side, grasping my hand with hers. "This is your future…Unless you can change it…" The dream then shattered around us like glass.
I must have been writhing in my sleep because a warm hand settled on my arm. My eyes snapped open and I saw Clovis sat next to me in my room, his concerned eyes trained on my face. Without thinking, I flung myself at him, wrapping my arms tightly around his chest. "Don't ever go Clovis…Don't ever go…" I whispered, my tears soaking his shirt. "I won't Miss Erwin, I won't."
