Don't Look

Chapter 5 - A threat isn't taken lightly

The two stared at each other for a while before they continued to talk. Two weeks passed since that day, though Isaac didn't seem to wake up. Angie was worried that the boy wouldn't ever some to when she was called into an office. Hank stared at her a moment before the two broke out into an argument. It seems that all they did since Kida and Isaac came here. Once Kida revealed how she had been alone for ages and she wasn't sure how the two ended up there, Hank sent a group to search the path and perhaps find any supplies that they might have dropped. Only the team discovered a trail of the monsters tracks circling the camp, even worse they found some on the inside of the camp as well. The one inside seemed to be covered more showing its been a while since then. Though the fear of being watched by a monster began to make the campers nervous. Some blamed Kida for it since it only happened when she arrived and wanted her and the Isaac thrown out. Angie refused stating if they threw the two out she would leave as well, claiming that as a doctor it's her duty to make sure that every person under her care was well. At first it seemed to hold them all back only.. Now it seemed it was losing its pull.

"She's dangerous Angie!!" Hank shouted as he leaned against the desk glaring at the smaller woman.

" Kida is hardly dangerous! She doesn't want to hurt anyone! She just wants to make sure that the boy is okay!"

"Those things are looking for her!"

"You don't know that!!"

"I know enough to know that she and that boy need to go!"

"He hasn't even woken up yet!! He won't survive out there! He's bearly surviving in here!"

"How much longer until they come in here for her??!!" His hand went up and rubbed his face. "I need to protect my people! THAT'S MY JOB!! HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL EVERYONE'S DEAD AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT ANGIE."

"WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR HER! FOR THEM!! " Angie threw her arms to the side. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! AND IF IT'S THE CASE OF THAT THEY WANTED THEM. THOSE THINGS WOULD HAVE ALREADY COME IN HERE TO GET THEM AND KILLED US ALL ALREADY!! THEYRE SMART ENOUGH TO GET INTO THIS F.U.C.K.I.N.G SHIT HOLE WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT AND THEY EVEN GOT OUT!!" She quickly walked up to him and poked his c.h.e.s.t. "IF they wanted to, Kida and that boy would have already been taken or we all would be dead already. But we're not. So stop trying to push your f.u.c.k.i.n.g fear onto me because i'm not one of those people out there that will follow your word to the end of time. I'm not someone who thinks you're a god sent. I'm smart enough to see that there's something more going on here." She took a few steps back and walked to the door.

"You're making a mistake Angie" Hank growled out as he glared at her.

"No i'm not." She shot back before leaving the room. A frown growing on her face as she walked down the hallway back to the infirmary and see Kida once again sitting next to the boy holding the metal pipe tightly. She has gotten used to seeing a lot of us come in and out but she didn't seem to be ready to trust everyone else in here just yet. Angie stared at her for a moment before she slowly walked over and sat in front of her.

"Kida I have something to ask you." The older woman stared into the younger ones eyes for a moment before she slowly walked over and sat on the bed carefully. Kida stared back at her before she slowly nodded yes.

"Kida...Is there a monster following you?" She asked softly her voice barely above a whisper, worried someone else would be listening in, even though there was no one else in the room.

Kida looked at her for a bit before looking down, she didn't know. How could she? She was never awake enough to ever see. Kida shrugged before she looked back up at Angie, the two stared at each other not saying a word but both seemingly able to understand the other.

"Alright… Well… I can say I believe you, at least that you don't know that for a fact at least. Kida, it's dangerous here. I don't know how you did it. How you survived out there for so long. But it's only a matter of time before you're not safe anymore. " Angie hesitated but reached out and gently cupped her cheek. Kida flinched for a second when she felt the touch, but soon she felt warmth. She couldnt help but lean into the hand, it made her feel safe, secure, almost a familiar feeling.

"The people here are good people, scared people. Fear is something that takes control and makes us think we're doing everything we can to keep ourselves safe even if it isn't true. " Angie took a deep breath. "Im saying this because I think you're in danger kida.. Im doing my best to do what I can but i dont know how much longer I can keep everything at bay okay? Though if things get worse… You're going to have to leave."

Kida looked at her shocked, her hands quickly shooting up to grab Angie's wrist, almost screaming for her to take that back. For in this moment, she feels something she could only say she felt before. Somewhere she couldn't remember but she wanted it to stay, this safety, this warmth.

"You have to trust me. It'll be just for a little bit.. Until I can get him to wake up.. Go back to the exact same place you two came from. We'll meet you there as soon as we can. Either the both of us or ill find a way to find you again." Angie smiled softly at her her thumb gently brushing Kida's cheek.

Kida stared at her for a moment tears filling her eyes. Not again, not again. She just let someone in and as soon as they came they we're leaving again. Kida didn't want to lose this not again, not this warmth.

"Pl….ease…..no…." Kida begged softly as the tears fell down her cheeks.

"Trust in me… I promise Kida." When she finished she gently placed a kiss on Kida's forehead.

That night when fell Angie had a backpack packed up for Kida, there were clothes, medical supplies some extra clothes. Anything she could throw in to help her on her way home. The two snuck out of the infirmary and made their way down the hall as quietly as they could. Angie's hand holding onto Kida's tightly, each looking around to make sure everyone was asleep. Once the two made it outside she noticed a couple of guards walking around. She made Kida stay behind her as they walked away, as soon as they were gone the two made a slight dash to the gate. Kida looked around to make sure the guards werent coming back while Angie messed with the gate. Only then did she notice a huge figure running to them but she wasnt able to get a word out.
