Fred's eyes started to narrow when she realized John wasn't going to do what she asked of him. Everyone did what she wanted or they died. Her hand started to slip behind her back, where she had a knife hidden but before she could grab it, she caught the sight of the gun John had. Before she could react, the blast hit her and pain blossomed through her body. "It won't work," she muttered before everything went black.
The moment the machine started, the Fred deep inside the body started to fight against the parasite. Of course, the parasite put up a fight but it was no match against the machine. Soon, it was gone and Fred's eyes flew open. She blinked several times and her body started to shake. After having the parasite inside her for so long, it felt strange not having it there anymore.
She looked up at the rest of them. "Oh god," she choked out. "What have I done?"
Imagines of killing John flashed in her mind and she stared up at him. "I'm so sorry, John," she said before she placed her hand over her eyes and started to sob. "You should've just left me alone. Go get Alex and take her away from here. She's in the room off Operations. Take her away from here and leave me. I don't deserve to live."
