Heading to Cameron
Nicole
No one has recovered , and more have died from the attacks.
Dread curls in my stomach.
Phoebe
No one has recovered? Not a single person?
Nicole
The clergy have been assured that these are isolated cases and ordered to work discreetly...
Nicole
But İ fear something else is going on in here.
Nicole
I've been patrolling at night, when I'm not with patients.
Nicole
And I've been checking your house,to make sure you're safe.
A furious knocking at the front door startles me.
Priestess
Sister Nicole?Are you there?
Nicole
I'm here, just a moment.
Nicole helps me to my feet.
Nicole
Can you stand on your own?
My legs feel a little wobbly but İ nod.
We make our way to the front hall and Nicole steps in front of me.
Nicole
Stay behind me, just in case.
Nicole opens the door a crack and peers in through.
İ hang back as a panicked voice filters through the door.
Priestess
Sister Nicole there's another victim, you need to come right away.
Nicole
Another one? Where?
Priestess
A street beggar, in the tanner's district.
Priestess
Doctor Cameron urgently requested you to meet her, as soon as possible.
Nicole nods and turns to me, gently holding my shoulders.
Nicole
Phoebe, İ need you to stay at home.
Nicole
Lock the doors, barricade the windows and wait for me.
İ bite my lip, becoming all too aware of the dark empty house.
Phoebe
( Idon't like the thought of being all alone again.)
Phoebe
(Besides,I want to know what is going on.)
Phoebe
I don't want to be alone Nicole! Please take me with you!
Phoebe
What if whatever's going on is somehow related to father's disappearance?
Nicole scouls and shakes her head.
Nicole
This sickness... it's horrifying, Phoebe.
Nicole
I don't want you to see it up close.
Phoebe
I already have, Nicole!
Phoebe
Please don't shut me out!
Phoebe
I need to know what's happening.
Nicole looks at me intently before taking a deep breath.
Nicole
Very well.You can accompany me.
