Lol okay @jumper-zuzu

"Naomi! Oh thank goodness you're awake!" Chase rushed over to the bed from his seat by the window.

The ghostly pale face of the girl in the bed was the only thing left uncovered by the pile of ragged blankets; she shook despite the many layers over her. Her forehead shone with a thin sheen of sweat. Her eyes, sunken with dark circles stamped around them, blinked slowly.

"Where...where are we?" She whispered through chattering teeth.

"We haven't quite made it into the mountains yet. Cameron and Tanner are scouting the area," Chase answered softly. He reached across to feel his friend's forehead; the fever raged as hot as ever. "You're still burning up..." he added, more for himself than for her.

"Good, job..." Naomi managed.

"What? What did you say?"

"F-finding sh-sh-sh-shelter, you, you did, good."

"Yeah of course, we got really lucky finding th-"

"Who s-says I, haven't, taught you anyth-thing?" Naomi interrupted, as if she'd missed Chase's response.

Chase paused for a moment. Taught him? Naomi had shown him botany and such in the medbox but the more substantial survival skills like finding shelter weren't something she had worked directly with him on. Something didn't seem right.

"I'll be right back." Chase walked to the window he'd been seated at. A small table sat to the right of the window, and a large bowl of water sat atop it. Chase pulled a washcloth out of the bowl, rung out the water, and came back to Naomi.

"I'm s-sorry," Naomi breathed.

"For what?" Chase asked as he folded the washcloth and placed it on Naomi's brow.

"I'm, sorry for, getting so-so sick," Naomi went on. "But I p-p-promise, when I'm b-better, I'll get, I'll get us, both out-out of, th-this."

"Us both? What do y-" Chase inhaled sharply through suddenly-clenched teeth. He stared at Naomi, processing what she'd just said.

His hand trembled as he reached toward her, as he placed the backs of his fingers on her exposed cheek.

Naomi tried to turn away.

"T-take your, take your ring, o-off, Lukas, i-it's too, it's too cold..."

Hello, dearest readers-

I have just spent the last several hours in the ER.

I ended up with a 103 fever with dizzy spells, body chills, weakness, wanting to pass the fuck out, migraine, black spots in my vision, vomiting and constant nauseousness.

I am getting discharged. They lanced and drained the abscesses. The infection hasn’t gotten to my blood stream yet but it’s was showing signs of necropathy which they got rid of. I have to follow up with asap to get referred to general surgery to have them fully removed.

The next few chapters may be delayed because they are putting me on some strong antibiotics and Tylenol 4.

I ask for your patience as I deal with this health complication that popped up out of no where.

Thank you! 💜💜💜
