The End Of Life Chapter 73

Hearing Mark, Daisy stopped and looked back and asked, "What is it, Mark?"
"I want to ask about Suzie's condition. How was she yesterday after I separated from you guys? Did she do something different or were there any signs of her recovering?" he whispered. There were too many people around them and he wanted nothing about them to get out.
"She panicked when you were out of sight. I had to calm her down quite a bit and she followed me everywhere. She shivered when any male came near her and was ok with the females. She doesn't need help in most of the things and can respond properly. But later, after we slept.." she became hesitant.
Mark didn't have enough time, so he urged her, "Speak up, Daisy."
Daisy nodded and said, "But later that night after we slept. Her body started twitching, and she probably had a frightful dream. She looked like she was struggling with something and was shouting for help. I had to calm her down and she couldn't sleep for the rest of the night."
Mark noticed the slight dark circles she had and nodded. He then said, "After that did anything happen?"
Daisy shook her head and said, "No, nothing major. She would shiver sometimes and couldn't go back to sleep even after I said I was there for her."
Mark nodded and said, "Alright Daisy, thanks for taking care of her for me." a bit grateful for her work.
Daisy waved her hand and said, "It's alright. Just take care of my dad. I don't know why he insists on following you but take care of him."
Mark nodded and said as he turned back, "That goes without saying." and walked towards the jeep. Daisy left, saying nothing, praying for her father's safety. Mark came back and iced David's worry gaze as he stood out of the jeep looking towards his daughter's back.

He patted his shoulders and said, "She, we will be safer here. You do not have to worry that much. You rest for a while, I will drive." and went to the other side and got inside. David got in next to him at the front and closed his eyes.
Mark looked behind and saw Suzie blankly looking out of the window. He reached out and patted her. Her body shivered, and she calmed when she saw Mark. He softly said, "Get some sleep, Suzie. You do not have to worry about anything. I am here." he wanted her to get some sleep after he heard what happened the previous night.
She nodded and closed her eyes. Like a child, she leaned on the glass and slept. Mark wished her to get some sleep, at least for now. Starting the car, Mark drove out of the camp. As soon as he exited the gates, Mark increased the speed.
The quicker he would be done with the checkup, the better it would be for them. There was silence in the car as no one spoke. Suzie was asleep and looked like she could finally sleep. David was looking out the window, probably worried sick about his daughter, and Mark was driving.
"Mark, are you sure she would be safe?" with some concern. After losing his better half in an accident all that he had was his daughter, now during these tough times leaving her was quite an emotional burden on him. He wanted to follow Mark because of his life debt. He couldn't just forget the man who saved their lives.
Mark looked at David and nodded. He said, "You do not have to worry so much. I have friends in that camp. I am sure she will do fine and will be safe." David nodded and relaxed after getting to know Mark has friends in the camp.

"Do you know the specific place your friend might be in Evergreen city?" he finally turned towards Mark.
Mark shook his head and said, "No, my guesses are his hotel, the museum, and the military base. If not in these three, we might stay in that city for a pretty long time."
David nodded and said, "Are there any other works except saving your friend."
Hearing him, Mark hesitated a bit. The General did not tell him to keep it a secret, but he wanted to trust the man a little. So he said, "We have another job. We might have to go to the military camp in the city and get something."
David nodded and remained silent. As they continued to go, David noticed Suze shaking from the corner of his eyes and shook Mark. he said, "Mark, look at Suzie."
Mark immediately hit the brakes and turned back. He noticed Suzie-'s body shaking and immediately tried to calm her down, "Suzie, don't worry. It's me. Don't be scared. I am here for you." while patting her back. He shook his head and thought, 'Seems like recovering from this is going to take quite some time for her.'
Suzie's body was calmer, and he slowly turned back when it was ok and started the jeep. They continued and nothing else happened except killing a few zombies, blocking their way. Mark let David do it and looked from behind to help in case anything might happen.
Mark finally reached the vicinity of the small patch of woods. He looked at them and slowly drove on the same road. He got the same strange feeling as he did a few days back. He stopped the vehicle where the feeling was the strongest and looked towards the woods.
David followed his eyesight and looked at the woods, wondering if this was the place. Mark felt the feeling was somehow different from last time and was now more eager. He took out his seatbelt and held the katana.
David noticed this and asked, "Is this the place?" Mark nodded, and David also stretched his hands to take out his seatbelt, but Mark stopped him.
Mark shook his head and said, "Stay with Suzie. We can't take her in or leave her alone. If anything is dangerous, I will run back." He wasn't an idiot. I didn't want to risk his life for a strange feeling he got. But someone needed to be with Suzie, who is extremely vulnerable at the moment, so he decided to go alone.

The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
