two siblings, one together

A New Chance.

Your not done yet, Austin.

Get up.

[AUSTIN'S POV]

"!?"

Where the fuck am I...? It isn't the lab but...I slowly got up, looking around the...room? I felt a pretty bad headache although I didn't know why. I look back to see a bed behind me, so that's why I felt so blissful.. I tried to open my mouth to say something yet nothing came out. Was this a hallucination? I rubbed my head to feel...bandages? At least, that's what I'm assuming. But...everything feels so...real. I spotted a mirror and looked into it, flinching when I saw my reflection. How the hell am I half infected?! No, the bigger question I have is just- why am I still in control of myself?!?! I didn't notice the door open-

"GUYSSSSSSSSSSS!!!"

I flinched as I turn away from the mirror, backing up towards the bed. "What? What is it Olivia?" I heard another voice say. "Yeah whatsup, mate?" A third one? There were... three beings in front of me. Cat, parrot, and snail respectfully. I'm assuming the smaller one is the cat named Olivia at this point. "He's awaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!" It...appeared to be a female with a child-like voice. The other two finally notice me as the second being, I'm assuming it's a parrot, walked into the room. "Goodness, are you alright?" I shook my head no at the question, I was confused, hell, i tried to verbalize my confusion but nothing came out. "Oh riiiiiiight, forgot you can't talk without a voice translator." A...a voice what now? I had a confused look on my face. "Brian, can you get a voice translator for me?" Okay, I'm assuming the snail is this 'Brian'. "Will do, mate." I saw him walk off but I noticed that there were black tar marks on their faces, including mine...why was it stemming from the left side only? I noticed Brian come back with a collar and hand it over to the parrot..

"Here you go, mate."

"Brian, you know you can call me Victoria, right?"

"Right, sorry Victoria."

So that's the parrot's name? Whatever. This...Victoria managed to put the collar on me while I was thinking. What the fuck are they trying to do?! "hEY- WHAT THE F-" I stopped myself. I...I could speak again?! "Glad to see it still works!" How could this person say that so calmly?! "Got the eyepatch too for 'em." Brian said as, I'm guessing it's a male, handed a gray eyepatch to me? "The fuck is this for?" I asked. "To cover your infected eye, silly! Why else would I bandage the wound when we first found you?" ...So that's why I haven't lost control yet. I sighed and hesitantly put it on. 

"Sooooooooooooo! What now miss Victoria???" Olivia kind of reminds me of...of her...just thinking about how I couldn't save her again brought tears to my eyes. "We found some uninfected at the lab, which is why we are heading there!" Victoria stupidly said. Why would they want to head to the place Pony was left to become infected at?! I had to stay calm as I got up, I stumbled a bit but I'll manage. "When are we going???" Olivia would ask. "Right now, as a matter of fact, dear!" Wait what?! "Why now...?" I asked in disbelief. "If we want to meet more survivors, now would be the best time before they get infected without us knowing." Victoria said to me. I sighed in annoyance. "Fine. Fiiine.." I rolled my eyes. "Excellent! Now let's go!" Victoria was leading us out of this place...

Heh. I guess I managed to get a fourth chance, huh?
