xxxxxxx Her mention of Davey
xxxxxxxxxxxx makes my stomach tighten.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE
xxxxxxxxxx It's too much, too soon.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx The wound of seeing him is still fresh.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And I didn't even know the kid.
xxxxxxxxxxx I can only imagine how it made Briar feel.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Suddenly, I feel another body bump into me.
xxxxxxxxx My hands instinctively go to her shoulders,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Not exactly touching them, but hovering.
xxxxxx I don't remember how I got behind her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I probably got distracted again.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This hospital has too many shadows.
xxxxxxxxxxxx Too many dark spots.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IT MAKES ME UNEASY
xxxxxxxx I smile down at her
xxxxxxxxxxx Almost as if I'm telling her it's okay.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But to be honest, it doesn't feel okay.
xxxxxxxxxxx Not because she ran into me,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But because I feel an extra set of eyes.
xxxxx Valentine's anxiety doesn't escape me.
xxxxxxxxxxxx Now I'm really nervous.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The killer left us alone,
xxxxxxxxxxxx Maybe because we were a group of three.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But Val? She was on her own.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Could we have just saved her life?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I wonder if she even has any idea..
xxxxxxx ❝ Davey is dead.❞
xxxxxxxxxxxxx And now she knows.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I've gotta hand it to Nathaniel.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx He sure knows a thing or two about tact
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And by a thing or two,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I mean he doesn't know s**t.xxxxx ❝ Are you okay? You're shaking. ❞
xxxxxxxxx And the stupidest question of the year goes to..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rowan! Congratulations!
xxxxxxxxxx I take a look at what she's wearing,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A miracle is keeping her from freezing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx She barely has anything on.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I wonder who she dressed up for.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LIKE THERE'S ANYONE HERE TO IMPRESS xxxxxxxxxxxxx But I have to admit,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx she does look nice.xxxxx Nice won't really matter, though.
xxxxxxxxxx Not if she freezes to death.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx My jacket should fit her like a dress.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A BIG, BAGGY DRESS
xxxxxxxxx But it's better than nothing.
xxxxxxxxxxxx I'm already warm,
xxxxxxxxxx And I'm wearing long sleeves anyway,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so it's not like I really need it.xxxxx ❝ Here, this will keep you warm.xxxxxxxxxxx We're going to have to get you a weapon. ❞

I quietly stood waiting for my partner
xxxxxxTo respond
xxxxxxxxTo appear from beyond
xxxxxxxxxxTo grunt in acknowledgmentI would even take a yell for help xxxxxxxBut I get nothing
There's still a chance that he's still on the bottom floor
I have no reason to assume he's in trouble....
xxxxAfter all, just because he is my partner
xxxxxxxxDoesn't mean he has to stay with me
This place has multiple floors and this floor is really big
xxxxxThe others should be just as big
xxxxxxxxIt's still a free country
xxxxxxxxxxHe doesn't need to babysit meI'm more confident on my own. Looking around I notice something
xxxxA sad something
xxxxxxxxI haven't left
xxxxxNot the first floor
Or the first room
I stand next to what remains of the front desk
xxxxxxxxxxxxI think
It's where a front desk should be
xxxxxxxxxxxI supposeI've been told I get paranoid I shake my head
xxxheading back to where I was
xxxxxbefore I remembered I had a partner
xxxxHe should be fine.
It's not like I have any reason to worry about him, right?
One of the bags that they gave us
xxxxTo collect useful things
xxxxxxHangs at my side
xxxxxxxxEmpty.
Everything in here is useless
xxCharred beyond recognition.I guess I'm not being very useful today xxxI look around
Trying to find something to add to my bag
It's all in vain....
xxxI have to keep focus
xxxxxOne room at a time
Overcome my fear
xxxI can do it
xxxA shiver runs down my spine
I thank my paranoia
xxWhile it's becoming colder in here
xxxxxI still have two layers on
I take the jacket off my waist and put it on
An extra layer of warmth❝...So...cold....❞ A whisper
xxFaint
xxxxShaky
Is that from my fear of speaking
xxxOr the cold?
When did it get so cold though?
xxxxI look around
There's no way a air conditioner survived
xxxA fire and decades of neglect
xxxxxxxxSimply impossibleI'm not exactly mute...... xxxMy mind goes into overdrive
Looking around the charred abyss
xxxI know I have to find it
The reason why it's so cold
xxI turn my headPlain as the mid day sunThe windows,
the ones not boarded up,
xxxxxxare white
xxxxxMy mind races trying to rationalize
xxxxIt can't be what I'm thinking it is
xxxxxxxI'm just being paranoid,
xxxxright?I want to run and hide Running over to the nearest window
xxI should've known
In situations like this
xxMy paranoia is dead on
My mind goes blank
xxxin fear
xxxxxxin shock
xxxxxxxxxxin thought?
All I know is the white on the other side of the window
xit isn't a good sign but one of the opposite nature
It's snow, covering the entire window
xxxxxxI think.....I think we're trapped.....

 ``Davey is Dead.,,
That was so cold, but indeed not intended that way.``I`m sorry . . .,,Evaporation escaping from my blood red lips,
Like a soul departing.
At first, it doesn't sink in;
He`s dead.
With a passing of minutes though, dread fills me.
I gaze my cold eyes to Briar.
How does she feel? She knew him.How did he die?``What happened? Did he get caught under debree?,,
Do I really want to know?
No.
This place is scary already.
Death gives it a feeling.
I feel things creeping on me.
I move my shoulders awkwardly, nervously.
Eyes towards where I had come from,
I swear there is something there.It`s not a thing, it`s a person . . .
. . . Watch your back now.Something is amiss, but I do I sense that?
Of course not.
Feeling something being put on me, I jump.
Placing my skeleton like fingers on my arms, fabric . . . Not unfriednly hands.``I . . . Thank you.,,
A shy tone in my voice, like wise on my cheeks.
Slipping on the coat, I feel much better.
Only in a physical sense.
Mentally, emotionally, I feel very wrong.
What are we to do?!
Someone is dead.``Have we called anyone yet?,,Stupid girl. Stupid Question.
That's commone sense . . .
. . . Which you don't possess.Rowan speaks again.
A weapon?
What the hell? For what?I knew it.``Excuse me, love . . . But, why?,,
I wonder out loud.
With the my question asked,
I feel eyes on me again.
A shaky breath in,
An even shakier one out.
Continuously staring from which I came,
Morbid curiosity asks me:
What will happen if I return?
It`s a dark notion.
Better not do it.
There`s violence hiding here,
Somewhere.
I don`t like this.
We should leave.
Call someone.
Overwhelming is the sense of being watched,
I push myself into Rowan.
He better not move until we all move together.
Something is after me.
Someone.

xx❝xDavey is Dead.x❞xxxxIt didn't feel real,
xxxxxxxxxmore like he was lying to her.
xxxthat's what I would've preferred.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxShe had to ask.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxif not for the impending doom, I might've let her
xxxxxxxxxxxxbut I wouldn't have been here for the answer.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxno one jumped to respond,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthe girl was full of questions.❝xNone of us have phones.x❞xxxx
❝xI doubt we'd have a signal, anyway.x❞
It's so cold, I can see my breathxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxhow long could we be trapped here?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxhow long before the snow let up?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxor they were missed?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxor they came to knock down the hospital?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxhow long would it take them to freeze to death?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthey wouldn't need anyone's help,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxto die out here.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthey could do it on their own.
xxxxxxxxxand what until then?
xxxxxxxxxxxxWe hadn't brought food,
xxxxxxand what supplies we might find would be old.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthere's a reason what we're doing
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxis called "salvaging".
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxeven so, we hadn't found much.❝xAnyone know where you are?x❞xx xxxxxxxxxxsurely, not all of us could be social outcasts,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxjust fallen into some psychopath's playground.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI pulled my camera closer,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxas if I actually expected to protect it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxbut she's my baby.
xxxcradling my DSLR,
xxxxxxxmy eyes searched out a weapon.
xxxxxbut she looked like she'd never swung a bat in her life.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI wondered what she'd bring to the table.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI should've wondered what I'd bring.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxor if I'd be able to rise to the occasion.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI tugged down on my cap.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxand banished the various negative thoughts gumming up the words.
