Sweet Home

chapter 14- Infected

It was its fist, and before I knew it I felt a stabbing pain in my face as I got punched. My ears ringed louder than church bells. End. This was unquestionably the end of my life. My life was in the hands of the monster.
What a dramatic death.
What a dramatic death.
I felt another strong force on my face, this guy really didn't hold back his anger huh... I knew this was probably going to be the end of me, until I heard footsteps, more like someone sprinting towards me. I couldn't open my eyes to whether it was a human or not, but I could picture someone using a sword to go up against the monster. He strained in pain. THUD. Is this it? Am I saved now? Someone dragged me along the floor (that says a lot about my weight) and then I heard a door slam... I'm safe now, I'm inside a room safe, I'm safe. Time flashed and I woke up from my light sleep.
"Are you okay?" I processed the words, the calming but rough voice beside me. I met eyes with him, and felt myself loose the strength within me... what actually happened to me?
"Who are you?"
It was normal of me to ask who he was, I mean he did just randomly save a stranger. He just blankly stared at me as a response, which in my opinion made me quite uncomfortable, like I was speaking some language he couldn't understand, but then it came to mind...
"The kids...where are they?"
I was genuinely concerned about their safety and didn't even know if they were still breathing alive or if they got eaten alive. Instead of hearing a reply me, I heard a girl sprint towards me and aiming a bat towards me. She believed I was a threat. The guy gave her one of those looks and probably thought she was psycho.
"You're infected huh!?"
Harsh... she talked to me in a deep tone to show dominance in her voice and I looked at her as if she was crazy as well...
Infected? Ha ha she must be kidding... 
"Your nose was bleeding, and you fainted"
Right... uncontrollable nose bleeding and random fainting: these were all the symptoms people showed before they lost their humanity and sadly turned into monsters. I dumbly hoped the worst hadn't happened to me.
Yet wasn't I just beaten up by one? I mean why else would my nose bleed and why would I faint if I just got totally destroyed by that thing. I could either be turning into a monster or I simply was a fragile sloth.
"You're the one that wanted to save him..."
That implies that they weren't walking by and decided to help, but they genuinely chose to save me.
"How do you know he won't turn?" turn...? Turn into a monster? No impossible... it has to be.... I won't turn, no way
"I don't know but I'm sure crushing his head in... can't possibly be the will of god"
The will of God? What the hell is he talking about now? What did some psychopaths save me or something? I looked back down at the bed, to avoid eye contact, making me seem like less of a threat... but maybe they could...
"Help me... help me please, I made a promise..."
My body shivered in perturbation.
"They need me...."
All eyes were on me, but no mouth made a sound. I didn't want to lose hope but I was.
"Come on..."
