Contagious

part ten

Winter was finally over, the weather was getting warmer and Daron could take his shirt off again, but he had black veins all over his chest, and as the months went by it seemed like more people were becoming aware of the disease, the internet started suspecting that Daron was a zombie. When they would do interviews he would always get the same question.

"Have you heard of the zombie virus going around?"

"Are you aware that people think you're a zombie?"

People were getting awfully close to figuring out he was a zombie, so he decided to cover up. He bought some makeup and hair dye and got to work.

Daron came out of the bathroom and went outside with serj. He noticed darons appearance.

"The leaves have gotten their original color back, and so has Daron apparently." Serj joked.

"Rumors are spreading." Daron said as he lit up a cigarette.

"It seems so... how are we going to explain the fact we can't eat?" Serj wonderd.

"Uh..." daron pinched the bridge of his nose. He couldn't say he was totally worried about his secret getting leaked but he also didn't know what would happen if it did.

"We'll just worry about it when it happens..." daron shrugged.

John and Serj sat in silence sitting on the couch. They we're startled by the sudden scream from shavo.

"get off me!!!" Shavo yelled in the distance.

They ran out to see what it was and found shavo fighting someone off in the driveway. John ran to help but before he could get there shavo grabbed the man and threw him across the street, they were amazed with his strength. shavo's hands were shaking, then they realized that only one thing had that strength.

"S-shavo?" John called out.

The attacker had landed on his head. He hit his head so hard that it killed him, they were laying in the street, blood began to leak out onto the asphalt.

He turned around, they saw his eyes. They were glowing, brighter than Daron or serj's eyes. He looked angry, furious. He stood for a minute and stared at them before returning to his original state. His face relaxed.

"What happened?" Serj tried to comfort him.

"People know... they say that they're going to kidnap us and take us to a lab or some shit!" Shavo's voice trembled.

"Us?" John inquired.

"Me, Daron and serj!" Shavo snapped.

"Well when have you been a zombie?!" John yelled at him. Angry that the kept it a secret.

"Ever since that night serj passed out in the restaurant, but that doesn't matter! More of them are coming for us and I have no idea where Daron is!" Shavo yelled.

"Oh fuck... Daron was supposed to come back two hours ago!" Serj panicked.
