Astrid POV
o gosh when Dahra first looked at Sam she got a crazy expression on her face showing all her shock and helplessness. It looked like she didn't know how to help Sam. She is the doctor and if she can't help him and Lana can't help him Sam is going to die.
I followed along to where Edilio was carrying Sam to an empty table in the back. It was a cold steel metal table that had some old blood stains on it from not having enough time to sterilize things.
What is the world coming too? Why is this happening? Why is this happening to US? First the FAYZ and then all this. I don't know if I can take it any more. Everything is just coming to pieces and Sam isn't here to save the day. Even he has broken I saw how he looked in the quiet and darkness o his own home. He was scared. People sometimes forget that Sam has been through what they had been through too. He just decided to do something about it. He was the one who stepped up and I am the one who convinced him making him a target. A target for people to take their anger out on. A target for our new found enemies. A target for anything that goes wrong. He tried to hand it off to other people he is so humble but it's not like him to let things just go by unchallenged and so he became out leader.
Now here he was facing the consequences. He always seemed to think he was invincible and now that we had a healer it only furthered that because now if something did happen the Lana could just fix it.
But now Lana wasn't here. Well she was but not mentally. I have been studying her the past few weeks and she has changed greatly and now she's passed out on us after being taken by the darkness. I don't really trust her I know she's a good person and won't harm people but her actions and decisions I question. But now when we need her the most she is indisposed.
All the while I'm thinking this while Sam is lying there on that cold hard slab of steel. Where the heck was Dahra? She seems to be taking an awful long time to get back here. She seemed to move in slow motion or was I just moving to fast? I couldn't think straight anymore I needed a break from this. Everyone needed a break from this. We need a break from being the adults. We need are parents. no matter how hard that is to say sometimes we all need are parents and right now I regret that I had never said that to them.
"Astrid. Astrid. Astrid!" Dahra seemed to have been calling my name for awhile now. "You need to move. I need to get to Sam." I hadn't realized that I was still clutching Sam's hand and bent protectively over him. He was all I really had left. Everyone else thought I was just annoying and spoke to them in a denouncing way and Little Pete well he was always off in his own little world which he wouldn't share with me.
"I need some help over here!" shouted Dahra. "Any volunteers?"
"I'll help in any way I can," I said trying to keep my voice steady and calm.
"No offense Astrid but right now I need someone who can stay calm and you look a little on edge not that I blame you." she said to me. I was on the verge of slapping her. How dare she not let me help Sam. Edilio seemed to sense this and spoke up.
"I'll help Dahra. Just tell me what to do." he said with an extremely calm voice. He always seemed to keep a leveled head how I wish I could.
"Thank you Edilio for volunteering. Astrid you can wait outside if you want this may take awhile and you can't really do anything in here." I new there was no arguing with her. I was in her territory and she wasn't asking she was commanding.
"Fine. Just tell me when something happens OK," I told them before I left to go sit on the steps to City Hall just hoping, hoping that Sam world be okay. He had to be didn't he?
