Naturals
“The noise reached me through the blackness of the night. It always had a way of finding me. I bolted straight up in my bed, my body tensing by pure instinct. “Henry! Are you awake? Do you hear that?”
“I hear it,” he whispered back, his voice edged with worry.
And then we fell silent. Maybe that was instinct, too. After everything we’d seen, it felt natural to try and hide, to keep quiet, but as we both sat there, barely breathing, it became nosier and nosier outside. The screams had been replac...ed by the murmurs of a crowd that seemed to be growing in size.

I stood up, yanking my blanket off the bed and pulling it around me, choosing to ignore Henry’s offer. He rolled his eyes and thrust the blanket into my hand. “You’ll need both. It’s freezing out there, and that cough hasn’t gotten any better.” I didn’t have the energy to fight with him, so I decided to take the blanket without further argument.MoreLess
