HAUNTED

4: You are whole, Emma

"That's a nice name, Maggie" Glenn said with a small smile. "Thank you for the food"

"No problem. Let's look at that arm now" Maggie said before sitting next to T-Dog.

Maggie took the bandage off T-Dog's arm that was being held with duct tape, her eyes widening. "This is not good" Maggie said out loud.

"That looks shitty, T-Dog" Emma said as T-Dog gave her a 'I didn't notice, really?' look.

Beth then changed the conversation. "How'd this happen?" She asked. Her voice was so soft and calm, like an ASMR voice, Emma could listen to her all day.

She grabbed Emma's other arm. Seeing the deep cut Emma knew what the girl was talking about. "I fell. It's nothing"

"Nothing? I'll be the judge of that. Does this hurt?" Beth added pressure to the cut with her fingers.

"Ow! Fuck!" Emma shouted.

"How about this?"

"Motherfucker!" Emma shouted once more.

"And this?"

"No stop-OW!" Emma shouted in pain as it hurt badly.

Beth sighed. "What caused the cut?" Beth then asked the girl.

"A stick. Like I said it's nothing"

"You don't know anything about the human body or health because there are a bunch of splinters in your wound which can lead to infection. If it's not infected already." Beth snapped at the girl, sick of her claiming it was nothing.

Emma took a bite of her sandwich, the first meal she had in days. "It'll heal. I don't need your help"

"Hey! Don't be rude to my sister" Maggie snapped at the young girl.

"I'm not being rude. I'm just stating a fact. I don't give two shits about my cut or any of you" Emma began laughing. "My cat is dead, my father is dead, my mother is dead, my best friend is dead. What's the point anymore?"

Maggie's eyebrows furrowed. She turned to Glenn. "How many pills did you give her?"

"Three?"

"Of what?" Maggie then asked.

Glenn shrugged. Maggie poured one of each pill on her hand. "Which one did It look like?"

Glenn eyed each pill suspiciously before picking the middle one.

Maggie licked her lips. "Shit" She whispered before turning to Emma. "Do you feel hot? Or perhaps cold?"

"Cold. I don't know Maggie. This sandwich is pretty good though" Emma said with her mouth full.

"She needs to rest. Right now. You gave her twice a normal dose of doxycycline" Maggie said as she felt the girls head.

Emma suddenly stood up, pushing the woman and leaning over the kitchen sink, vomiting as Glenn quickly ran to hold her hair back.

"She was only supposed to have one tablet" Maggie told the boy.

Beth stood up and got the girl a glass of water. "Go ahead, get it all out" Glenn mumbled to her before taking the glass of water from Beth.

"Fuck. I hate puking" Emma mumbled before puking once more. Once done her mouth was very full of saliva and felt yucky.

The girl chugged the whole cup of water down before almost falling to the ground, she was so dizzy. Luckily Beth caught her.

"She needs to lie down" Maggie told her as they lead her to the sofa.

Emma laid down on the couch, her eyelids heavy.
