Contagious

part four

Days went by. The craving for flesh got stronger and stronger, it was driving Daron insane. Daron kept Felix's phone number, every day he considered calling. But he tried to pull through as long as possible. By this point he was losing his sanity, he started to look at his friends with hunger in his eyes and it scared him.

Daron was hanging out in the kitchen sitting on a barstool. Serj was cooking some food, as he was cutting some vegetables he cut his finger. The cut was deep, blood dripped down onto the floor, Daron could see the Serj's flesh. In a split second the hunger finally made him snap, He lunged at serj full force and bit his throat out. Daron woke up when he started to eat the piece of his throat that Daron bit out.

Daron jolted out of bed, horrified of the dream he had. Daron finally made the decision to call Felix. He waited until nobody was looking and stepped outside the RV. Daron picked up the phone and dialed the number on the slip of paper, Felix answered.

"Who is this? What do you want it's two AM." Felix sounded annoyed.

"Felix, its me Daron. I need your help." Daron said. "I just had had the worst dream of my life."

Felix laughed. "So, you finally decided not to tough it out? It's about time... I would've thought you had gone feral by now." He teased.

"Do you have anything to help me?" Daron asked. "I'll take anything you have..."

"Alright... I know your band hasn't gone anywhere yet. Meet me in the same alleyway  I attacked you."

Daron stood in the rain waiting for Felix. Eventually he heard footsteps, he turned around to meet him. Felix had a small cooler in his hand.

"Now that you're here, I can better explain what you are. Me and you have something in common, he have to eat brains. Or flesh, or whatever strikes your fancy." Felix explained.

"Go on."

"You have to eat humans, I give you what you need. Plain and simple, consider it payback for infecting you." Felix joked. "Go ahead and take what's inside of this cooler."

Daron opened up the cooler, inside were at least six human brains.

"Thats fucking disgusting!" Daron gagged when Felix picked up a brain and broke off a peice.

"Eat it. Trust me." Felix handed Daron the brain, Daron played with it in his hand.

"I can't believe I'm doing this..." daron took little bite of the brain, the second he sank his  teeth into it the overwhelming hunger finally stopped; He finally felt relief. He began to devour it.

"Feels so much better doesn't it?" Felix handed Daron the cooler. "There's at least a weeks worth in there, go easy. I know your band is going on tour. Have fun."

Daron made his way back to the RV.  With the cooler in hand, he hid it under his bed so that nobody could find it. He felt normal again, but he still had to deal with his new state.
