Armageddon

Savage

I ran full speed taking my blade and in one swift motion, it cut through flesh. My screen showed red for the bodies present that were my men, and a dull blue for the infected ones. Something had grabbed my shoulder harshly pulling me, I turned around slicing off the arms of an iinfected that had grabbed me. The blood was black against my blade watching the infected person squirm on the floor, blood pouring out it's mutalated arms. 

"SERENE!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!! WE NEED TO GET OUT NOW!" A harsh and panic tone rose up.

I could only assume that it was one of the Corey twins but my helmet was pouring black thick blood over my screen. Finding no need for my swords anymore I sheethed them, a yell/cry for help shouted and I acted off impulse. Taking my desert eagles and fired it in the way of the scream. I walked over to the one that was screaming and it was Andrew, I stood there briefly giving him a content nod to continue on as he walked quickly away; out of breath. I looked down at the body as it was shaking and gasping, coughing up blood, it looked back at me. I took my gun and pressed it to it's head and pulled the trigger, it was dead. 

All the infected that swarmed the room were dead or close to being dead, my men were out of breath and in serious shock; I had to get them out of here. They were new at this and it takes a while for that to go away in the fields.

Walking to them I put my hand on David's shoulder and giving him a push towards their cables that lowered them down here, he complied by walking to them quickly and hooking himself up to it. The rest of the men followed David because he seemed to be the biggest one and played the role of 'leader'. I didn't mind that because I don't see anyone as a leader, it's just a word to me, or a meaningless title. 

The men lifted themselves up the the opening and waited for me by lowering a cable for me, but I refused. I started to walk the original way before we got attacked by 5 infected. That wasn't it, it couldn't be it, usually a swarm consisted of 7-10 infected in it. 

It seemed to get darker the deeper I went into the tunnel, the water started to get shallower and soon it was only up to my ankle. Suddenly I felt a hot pain in my stomach making my hands got to cover it. I could feel it spread and soon my skin felt as if it were melting; I could not figure what was happening to me. 

This feeling in my stomach was strong, it drove me foward eventually making my walk turn sluggish and slow. My mind turned fuzzy. I've only had two episodes close to this one before, and that was when I was a youngling. I couldn't recall it. I walked a little bit then cought on my screen a huge dull blue cluster on the other side of the wall. There were at least dozens upon dozens in the next room. 

I didn't want to have to risk the lives of the newbies if I said I needed back-up in a battle that's 50 to 4 ratio. I started to back up slowly knowing that the infected were asleep because they hibernate during the day. I kept backing up till I ws at a safe distance to turn my back to the cluster of blue; running into something. It was an infected. 

I took my two swords out backing away so there was distance between the infected and I. This one was different, I usually would have just cut off it's head no question about it but this one had something about it. I couldn't see it full because my screen was set on heat vision but from what was visible was that it held up it's hands. 

I watched it, lowering my blades a little bit questioning this one but from the seems of it, it didn't look like it would attack me. The infected turned around and started to walk the direction I was going to get out of here, so I followed cautiously behind it, my eyes not leaving it's back side. We walked for a bit until it stopped before the giant hole with my men waiting for me. 

In a flash I pulled out my gun and shot the infected next to me, I have no time to lose because of un important things. I was trained well, to think everything was meaningless until the job at hand was done. Forgive the child stories of meeting a monster and getting gooshy, that's not what happens. After the dull blue on my screen faded out I grabbed the last cable and was pulled up.
