The scene that most of you probably miss

I still work on chapter 12. I hoped that November and December would be enough loose for me to write 3 chapters, just to catch the delay up. Unfortunately, my work keeps me busy, and frustrated me. I plan to buy a computer good enough to work on the graphics and more serious game development, so maybe I could quit my job, and focus on the games. With this rapid growth of inflation in Poland, your support is already 50% of my salary, so maybe after I'll start a second project which would be more visual, I'll get enough money to pay my bills from the source that satisfied me.

Anyway, I want to share with a short scene that most of you will probably miss in incoming chapter. But, if you treated Dorothy well, you had sex with Justin in chapter 8, you earned the trust of Caroline, persuade Olivier to invite Caroline on your trip, and you didn't oppose the presence Dorothy on the trip (many conditions, as you see :)), you'd get some information (and some ally) that could help you in chapter 15, if Pauline would interfere in Caroline's attempts to change back.

Dorothy pulled you so forcefully that you hissed from the pain. Damn, she was as strong as you, if not stronger.

"Are you out of your mind?!" she exclaimed.

"Why do you care?" you snapped back.

"Why do I care?! Why do I care?!" her voice rose, that you, reminded you the hysterical note she used so often when she was your girlfriend. "Why shouldn't I?!"

That was a really good question.

"Don't you dare help her. Do you understand?! Don't you dare! She's stupid! She's a total idiot! She knows what's there and still she wants to go! She's already gone, don't you understand?! She's a living corpse! She..."

You blinked several times. You saw Dorothy in many situations. You reacted on her first strucks. She pounched you many times, once she almost drowned you, when you tried to help her during her panic attack in the lake. But you never saw such pure terror on her face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Caroline! She saw them! And she saw what they do! And still..."

"Calm down! Breathe! Fuck!"

She was already shivering.

"Olivia! Justin! Help!" you shouted without realizing that you used the female name of your friend.

"They will come for you! They will... They will..."

Justin and Olivier ran to you. Olivier quickly wore off his belt.

"Dorothy, lay down, please," Justin said calmly. She looked at him, and she smiled.

"Justin!" she grabbed his hand and squeezed so hard that he clenched his teeth.

"I'm here, Dorothy, lay down."

She nodded and laid on the ground. Her seizure got worse. Olivier kneeled down. He held her shaking head between his knees.

"Just like the good old days..." he muttered, taking his belt.

"Justin... You need to save Paul."

You and Olivier froze and looked at each other. But Justin just nodded.

"Of course I will, you have my word," he said calmly.

She smiled at him - at least that quick, nervous grimace reminded you a smile. Then the terror came back.

"They won't let him die! Never! They won't them them die!"

Olivier took the opportunity and took his belt in her mouth. She clenched her teeth, and the seizure took her completely.
