chapter 5

- Preston

"What did you promise him?" I asked curious as I sat down on the spot Jerome sat at before.

"That I'd still be here when he came back."

"What if you can't keep that promise?"

"I don't know but I'll do anything I can to keep it." I smiled at him.

"Can I ask you, how does it feel?"

"How does what feel?"

"Being bitten."

"The bite itselve hurts alot. After that you feel like you're extreemly sick but you're not. You just keep feeling weaker and weaker, the golden apple they gave me did help a bit but I don't think the effects will last much longer. The worst part is the moment when you loose controll. You see, feel and hear everything but your body has it's own will. I see myselve trying to hurt the ones I love, and that hurts even more then the bite."

"Do you think it'll be like that when you really... you know... turn?"

"I don't know. But Preston, I made Jerome promise me that if that happend, if I turned that he'd kill me. Can you and the guys make sure he keeps that promise and be there for him afterwards?" He had tears form in his eyes.

"Ofcourse we will."

"Thank you." He suddenly looked terrified.

"Preston get away."

"What?" Suddenly his eyes turned red and he did what Rob said had happend before. It was terrifying to see. He relaxed again but his eyes where red and his skin had a hint of green in it. He looked at me and sat up straight. I crawled back.

"Mitch?" He walked over to me like he was gonna attack me.

"Mitch stop it." Suddenly he stopped and looked like he was fighting himselve.

"R...Run." He chocked out before attacking me. I move aside right on time and ran upstairs. He looked confused but soon came after me. I ran in the room Jerome was sleeping in and locked the door.

"Jerome!" I yelled at him holding the door close as Mitch was trying to open it.

"Jerome wake up!" He suddenly sat up.

"What's happening?" He asked.

"Mitch, he lost controll." Right then the door swung open. Mitch had turned even more into a zombie. He looked around and saw Jerome. I think his eyes flickered for a second back to it's original color. He then proceeded to attack Jerome. Jerome faught back but tried his hardest not to hurt him.

"Jerome you need to kill him!" I yelled at him.

"No he's still there somewhere." They then stumbled downstairs. I followed trying to help but couldn't do much.

"Mitch remember your promise! You have to fight it. Please Biggums I need you!" Mitch's eyes slightly turned back to normal but not fully.

"J...Jerome."

"It's me biggums. Please I know you can fight it." His eyes started to turn red again.

"K...Kill me." Was the last thing he could say before he fully turned.
