CHAPTER SIXTEEN

EVE

Laying on the ground looking up at the grey sky, I wait for my ankle to heal up, hopefully, I still had the power to put bones back together or we wouldn’t be getting very far anytime soon.

“Why didn’t you just drop me?” Vincent says ungratefully. “You’ll lose time now. Cam should be your priority, not me!”

I want to slap him right then and there, but I don’t have the energy. Vincey had become a grumpy grumbler these days and I couldn’t blame him. The voices in my head were constantly laughing at me lately, and that’s enough to make you a little more than agitated. I understood where Vincent was coming from, his frustration stemmed from the fact that our time could be up in a few days, hours, or even the next few moments. We didn’t have a clear idea as to when we’d expire as free thinkers, and when it came down to that, there wouldn’t be anyone coming to save Cam.

Sitting up, I look over at my ankle and try to move it, the foot dangles limply. Not a good sign. I was going to need some food in order to heal. I look over at Vincent who is crouched on the ledge of the cliff scanning the bodies below.

“You know what’s funny, Eve? Some of them made it,” he says chuckling to himself. “They’re limping around down there, you have to see this!”

I had survived a great fall into the Grand Canyon, but that was back when I healed better. I didn’t know if I would stay quite as intact if I fell from that height now. My ankle couldn’t even hold a few extra pounds hanging off of it.

“Vince, I’m much more interested in food right now,” I say as I dangle my limp foot in front of him. “I need a little healing miracle. There might be more of them coming for us soon.”

Vincent nods and takes off. With the promise of food and perhaps some silence, I lay back down and look up at the sky and its heavy clouds. A few speckles of rain hit my face and I pretend I’m back in Little Lake lying on the lawn of my parent’s home. I can almost hear my father running the hose and watering his plants in the garden and my mother chatting on the phone through the screen door that connected the kitchen to the outside deck. The moment of familiarity haunts me; I could never go back to that time. It didn’t exist to go back to. All I could do was stop this now, for Mom, for Dad, for Alex. They had all paid a high price to protect me, and I wouldn’t let them down.

I refused.

Sitting up once more, the voices in my head tell me of my impending failure, to which I reply, “You have no idea who you’re messing with.” They had not seen anything yet, if they thought a broken ankle would keep me from Cam, they were sorely mistaken.
