Chapter 11

Synopsis
Following my gross vomit-blood-everywhere schtick, Aether and I had a bit of a heart-to-heart.

I told her about my problems, she told me about hers. It was nice, actually.

Apparently her dad is a huge jerkbutt. He isn’t even trying to help her escape! This is the first I really hear of him, probably for good reason.

When we went back to rejoin the others, I forgot that my clothes were all bloodied. Beth noticed right away and asked what had happened. There’s no hiding it anymore.

I told them I had coughed it up, which was the truth. Thankfully the other aren’t as paranoid about it as I thought they’d be. I guess I’m the paranoid one.

Liza later asked me if I felt any different since I woke up. I gave her the best answer I could, but I don’t think she heard what she wanted to. She’s weird sometimes.

You know who’s even weirder, thought? Sent.

Guy asked me to speak to him in private. I cautiously agreed since, you know, he could kill all of us if he wanted to.

I expected him to try and get me to turn on the others, or maybe threaten me in some way.

What I did not expect was for him to profess his love to me.

So, naturally, that’s what he did.
