Astrid POV
I slowly walked down the street in a happy little world of mine. Happy to be free of burdens for the present moment. Happy that everything would be okay. Happy that Sam was still alive. It was a good time to be happy and I was going to appreciate the little reasons I had to be happy.
Though, I had just slept for who knows how long on city halls steps I felt like I could just collapse right then and there. My bed seemed so welcoming and I couldn't wait to just climb in between the nice fuzzy sheets and just dream of my nice happy world. But before I could do all of that I had to see with my own eyes that Sam was okay and well not that I didn't trust Edilio's word it's just that... well sometimes you need to see to believe. I have spent all this time worrying and now I'm completely filled with relief but this worrying job isn't over yet Sam still needs to recover. I wonder if he's still in a lot of pain or if he'll be conscience when I get there. I'm hoping he will be sleeping because he really needs his rest. It still hadn't dawned on me that Sam had really been gone there for a second. He was actually gone, dead, removed from existence. No matter what way you put it it still meant the same thing that Sam was dead but I shouldn't dwell on this so much he is here and fine now and my only concern should be for his recovery and the safely of the people in the FAYZ.
I slowly walked up the porch steps into my new house that I had acquired after mine and little Petes had burned down earlier in our time in the FAYZ. It surprised me that I was hesitant as I reached Sam's door. I knew he was in there but I don't know I still wanted to be in my happy land of everything's fine now but I had to come back to reality sometime and now was as good as any.
I slowly creaked the door open and the light from the hallway sliced through the darkness of Sam's room. There was a heavily covered lump on the bed and I crept over to it.
Something oddly strange felt wrong in here but I couldn't place my finger on it. Maybe it was the darkness because Sam's room was never fully dark because Sam hated the dark that's how he discovered his power in the first place.
A slight breeze from the open window beside Sam's bed ruffled my hair. It gave me the strength to near the bed and look into Sam's face. Only...only Sam wasn't there!
Where the heck was he? He couldn't have e just walked of in his condition! For goodness sake he died today where could he have gone to? Shoot this just adds to my list of problems and ruined my happy time! What am I supposed to do now? First it's the whole humans vs. freaks and then the mine shaft thing and then Sam disappears I don't understand why these things keep happening to me! What is the universes problem with the little town of Perdido Beach it never did anything wrong? Did it?
My thoughts ran through my head in a flurry. The truth was I didn't know what to do now. Was I supposed to tell someone? Usually Sam would be the person to tell but since Sam is the one that needs to be told on. Gosh I sound like such a nark but this was an emergency. Sam had disappeared. What was I supposed to do now?
Authors Note- hope you guys enjoyed this most recent chapter. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile I've been busy and working on my other stories. I just thought I should add another twist in the story since the whole Sam is dying thing was getting old. So anyways here it is and please review
