“Lucas—.”

“Shh, shh I’m proper right here. Oh god, I’m proper right here.”

Stress landed on my wound and the flash of ache despatched a flash of white throughout my imaginative and prescient. Tight, cramping ache mingled with the sharp stabbing, and tears sprung sizzling in my eyes.

“H-How did you discover me?”

“Toby,” Lucas replied softly. “He knew concerning the cabin; it was a guess however a fucking fortunate one. Deep breaths, Scarlett.”

“Scarlett? Oh my god, it’s okay. We’re getting you out of right here, okay? Deep breaths, okay?”

As they repeated the reassurance, their voices began to float as in the event that they have been transferring additional and additional away.

“Seb?” I requested weakly.

“He’s okay,” Lucas assured me, and a smile flickered throughout my lips.

He was okay. They have been okay. My eyes fluttered and darkness crept up across the edges of my imaginative and prescient. Danny pressed a telephone to his ear and though I may see his lips transferring, the phrases didn’t attain me. Even the agony in my facet began to fade. My chest constricted and out of the blue, a single thought popped into my thoughts as I dully clicked the place the wound was in my stomach. I whimpered softly and managed to utter that thought earlier than darkness consumed me utterly.

“I obtained shot within the lung, not the voice field.”

“Pity.”

The nice and cozy, acquainted tones of the lads I cherished drifted over me like a tender blanket as consciousness regularly trickled again to me. The searing, painful stress that had echoed in my final ideas now not appeared to be a difficulty. With a cotton-filled mouth, I slowly opened my eyes and instantly closed them once more as the sunshine despatched a pointy ache by my cranium. A number of seconds later, I attempted once more, and slowly a blurred world got here into view. A number of blinks later and I may see with solely slight fuzziness across the edges.

Toby was seated to my proper, shaking his head as Lucas and Danny argued to my left. Sebastian was on the foot of the mattress in a hospital robe, barely hunched over as he chuckled.

They have been all right here. I used to be right here within the hospital.

“Scarlett?” Toby rose barely and clasped my hand. Silence fell amongst the opposite three, and all eyes have been on me.

“What occurred?” I croaked and winced as speaking pulled in any respect the dry muscle mass in my throat. “The place’s Shane?”

Toby shifted to the desk subsequent to me and poured a glass of water as Lucas spoke.
