Hey everyone. Sorry about the long update date. I have had massive amounts of homework, but I got some spare time right now, so here is Chapter 18 Unexpected Turn. The next chapter might not be posted till Christmas Break, but we'll see.
About six hours into the night, Jake was still sleeping, but something was waking him, slowly. It felt like something was shaking, it was boiling hot what he had his arm on. It felt like a boiling cup of water, which was shaking. Jake soon opened his eyes and was met with a sad, scared, sick looking face, it was Hayley. She looked so weak; she looked like she was going to pass out. "Oh my god Hayley" Jake got up from where he was lying, he quickly yelled for Felix, who was right next to him, so of coarse he woke with a fright. "Felix!" Jake yelled again unaware that Felix was already up. "What's wrong?" Felix looked up from where he was and saw Hayley, lying on the ground, looking like she just got in a serious monster battle, she was white as snow. "OMG what happened" Felix leaped up from where he was. He quickly ran over to the others. "I don't know, I just woke up and saw Hayley, in this condition" Jake said trying his best to calm down, he failed. Thoughts of worry, fear, and confusion filled their minds. They were as worried as they could be. "What should we do?" Jake asked franticly. "I don't know I'll check her pulse and things like that" Felix said getting the last pair of gloves and quickly placed them onto his hands. He quickly checked her pulse was quick; it was like her heart was racing. He could hear that her breathing was rapid, it sounded like she was as ill as she could be. He placed his hand on her forehead, it was scorching hot. Felix quickly removed his hand from her head. While Felix was over looking a few other signs of illnesses, Jake sat next to Hayley and held her hand, and then it hit him like a freight train. "The wound" Jake said under his breath. He then thought of it for a moment, learning about poisons and stuff like that in school. Could the poison be causing these symptoms? "Felix" Jake said looking up, at him. "Yeah?" Felix asked, looking at his friend. "I think you should…look at that wound" Jake said looking towards where the wound was located. Felix only nodded; he quickly got near Hayley's leg and once again pulled her pant's leg up, and revealed an inflamed lesion. It was red, but the rest of her body was white. It looked weird, like a deep colored red towards the middle, but getting lighter the farther away from the middle. "Hayley" Felix asked. Hayley looked weakly at Felix. "If it hurts squeeze Jake's hand" Felix said looking at Hayley, who didn't even look like she wanted to speak again. Hayley gave a small nod, her hand was held by her boyfriend's, their skin was like a magnet to each other, they didn't want to let go. Felix slowly put his hand at the base of her lag and slowly moved it closer. Hayley soon grasped Jake's hand, with a huge amount of force, thank god that Jake was biting his lip or he would have yelled in pain. Felix hand stopped where it was. The pain has spread once again, but this time it has gone farther then it did before. His hand only moved a few inches before the pain increased. Felix took a deep breath and he placed his hand on her thigh and as his hand met her skin, Hayley almost screamed, as she tightened her grip Jake's hand. The pain had a larger area. It had moved witch meant that the poison was spreading, rapidly.
