Chapter 5 - Setback

As they neared the town, Kyra stopped dead in her tracks.

Ed looked back at her worried.

“What's the matter?” He asked her. She was silent.

“I can't go.” She whispered.

Ed was dumbstruck.

“What do you mean can't go? We're almost there.”

Kyra stared at the ground, mouth slightly ajar. She mouthed a few words and looked at Ed. Kyra's eyes had glazed over, she felt sick.

“Ed…” There was a soft “thump' and the girl fell over, landing hard on the dirt road.

Ed rushed to her side and lifted her head up on his lap. “Kyra, kyra. Wake up.” He pleaded, and checked her temperature.

She was hot, a lot hotter than any person should be.

“Al she's sick.” Ed told his brother. Al rushed over to Ed.
”Ed, stay here with her while I run these two to the police. Don't carry her on your own, you're hurt as it is.” Al told his brother.

“I can't…” But Ed was interrupted by his brother. “You must.” And Al ran off into town searching for the police station.

Ed looked down at kyra. Her cheeks where flustered and beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.

“I have to get her to a doctor.” He told himself.
”She needs medical attention.” He slung her arm over his good arm and picked her up, wincing as pain shot through his whole body.

/Use the pain to drive me./ He thought and stood up.

He gritted his teeth and pushed forward, stumbling towards town.

“Doctor, doctor where the hell is the doctor!” He yelled. He continued to walk on though searching for a doctor.

It was no use he couldn't find on and time was running out for himself and her. Poor Ed fell over and Kyra fell out of his grasp.

“No…” He gasped. He was having trouble seeing and things where going blank.

“No… I have to help her…”

The last thing Ed remembered before he fell unconscious was a older woman crouching over him whispering “dear are you ok?”
