Chapter Forty-Three

Alex's POV

"Your parents were killed trying to save me? How? I mean what happened that night? Why can't I remembered anything that happened then? Who killed my parents and why? Who are you?" I asked confused.

"You want answers? I'll answer your questions once you are able to leave that quarantined room" Emma said and I sighed.

Who is she?

What really happened that night?

Who killed my parents?

I need answers and it will be too sad to leave this world without getting them.

"I need my laptop, a book and a pen" I said and she smiled.

"Is that all you need?"

"Yeah, my laptop is in Andrew's room, I've already started my research so I just..." I couldn't complete my words as everywhere suddenly became blurry and I fell to the ground.

Jasmine's POV

"Alex!" I heard someone yell waking me up.

My eyelids feels so heavy and it was so hard to move any part of my body.

I managed to open my eyes and I saw Alex unconscious and Emma yelling and banging the door.

I tried to stand up but my legs failed me and I fell to the ground.

"Alex!" I called as I crawled to where he was laying unconscious.

"Jasmine, is he....is he alright?" Emma asked looking really worried.

"He won't wake up, his breathing is weak too" I said as I checked Alex's pulse.

"That's it, I'm coming in" Emma said as she made to hold the door.

"Stop!!" I tried to yell but it came out weakly. "I thought you were intelligent but you are actually very foolish, you'll probably contact the plague if you come in here."

"I don't care, Alex is important to me and I am willing to take that risk." She said as she tried to open the door again.

"He's important to me too" I said and she stopped. "I won't let anything happen to him so stop wasting time trying to come here unprotected and get help."

"Don't let anything happen to him, I'll be back with help" Emma said and ran out.

"Alex, Alex!" I called as I shook him but he wouldn't wake up.

"Please Alex, don't die, please don't die, I have a lot of things to tell you. I know we might be dying soon but you can't die without hearing what I have to say first, please wake up." I cried but he remained unconscious.

"Where the hell is Emma!"

"Jasmine" Alex called and I quickly held his hand.

"Are you ok?" I asked and as he tried to sit up and I managed to help him.

Alex's POV

"I feel so weak and my head feels so heavy, I think the plague is already taking it's troll on me but for now, I'm fine, where's Em...." I was cut short by an unexpected hug from Jasmine.

"Emma, I thought you said Alex's is unconscious but they both seem to be doing really great." Megan said outside the door and Jasmine quickly moved back and released me from the hug.

Megan, Susan, Andrew and Emma were outside the glass door and they were all dressed in their protective plastic overall.

"M.... Meg" Jasmine stuttered.

"They both still look weak though" Andrew said.

Emma's POV

Megan, Susan and Andrew went into the quarantined room while I stayed outside.

I was so worried thinking I'll really loose him and what was he doing? Instead of fighting for his life, he's here hugging this girl!

I walked out angrily and removed the protective overall I was wearing

Ryan's POV

I laid on my bed feeling relieved.

My nemesis will finally be dying soon.

I should call Dad to inform him.

🗨️ "Is Alexander Sanchez dead?" Dad said immediately he picked up the phone

"Won't you at least ask me how I am doing?"

🗨️ "I'm busy Ryan, you if you have nothing to say, am ending the call."

"Alex is on his death bed." 

🗨️ "What?" He asked surprised.

"He'll be dying soon, I made him contract a deadly plague that has emerged here so he'll be dying probably in the next 3 days" I explained.

🗨️ "Great job I am proud of you and be careful not to contract the plague too" he said and I chuckled.

"You care about me now that you know Alex is going to die."

🗨️ "Call me when he's finally dead" Dad said and ended the call.
