Chapter 3

Amy was about to get in the truck when she felt pain in her ankle. She looked down and saw a small parasite had grabbed her ankle, she kicked it off and watched as it started to have a seizure then stopped.
Amy opened the truck door and grabbed the back of its neck, as she picked it up she noticed it was dead.
Her ankle was bleeding quite badly, there was quite a bit on the road.
Amy turned the key and was surprised when the truck started, she reversed away from where the blood was and stopped shutting off the engine.
She found something in the truck and wrapped it around her ankle, then watched these small parasites going towards her blood on the road.
Amy was fascinated as these parasites were obviously as thick as a plank of wood started Licking up her blood and dying one after the other.
Amy drove towards the local pharmacy to tend to her ankle and grab some supplies, as she was almost there she saw the Doctors and Nurses stuck on top of a School bus surrounded by parasites.

Amy stopped near the bus and took off the make shift bandage throwing it out to draw the parasites away from the bus.
She then drove towards them and stopped next to the bus so they could use the back of the truck bed to get down. Amy got out and spoke to the doctor she knew and told him and the others to watch the parasites licking her blood off the rag and dying.
They discussed it and went to some boxes of medical supplies grabbing some injection needles.
They took blood from everyone, walked away from the bus and left puddles of blood on the floor of the carpark then got back into the bus waiting.
They watched as the bugs went for the blood and at every puddle they were dying.
The doctor was surprised and their little experiment showed the Blood from all those who were immune was poison to these things. They tended to Amy's ankle and thanked her for helping them but especially showing them they were poison to these Parasites and Immune to the bacteria.

They said their goodbyes for now and Amy headed to the pharmacy grabbing bags and boxes of medicines and other medical supplies, then headed to Heartland not knowing what she would find.
The roads were empty, near the town she saw dead cattle being devoured by parasites, some as big as a Great Dane dog. As she drove further away from Hudson there were fewer Bugs, more cattle were alive until there was no sign of these Parasites which was good to know.
As Amy drove down the drive towards Her home, everything looked fine until she saw the Ranch House covered in bugs. Amy already knew she was on her own. Lou and her Grampa were dead probably from Rage. Amy assumed that Lou must of been immune but Jack wasn't and killed her. She pulled up to the Barn which was closed and locked. Amy got in with the spare key from the hiding place. Everything was clear, no horses were inside the Barn, she knew her Grampa must of known and let the two horses out into the field, Amy's Horse called Midnight and Jack's horse Paint.
After she'd checked all through the Barn and office she decided to check on the house. Before that she went into the Tack room, she looked for her Hunting Rifle with telescopic lens, she didn't hunt, but Tim wanted her to have a proper Rifle if she was in danger when with the cattle or on a trail ride. She also had a Glock 15 handgun and a Hunting Crossbow with Telescopic Scope, Amy used to do Archery in School and was one of four other girls who were the best, winning Trophies for themselves and the School.
The first thing Amy did was take some of her own blood using a syringe and coating a number of bolts. When she was ready she closed up the barn and headed for the Ranch House.
She got quite close then shot six of the bugs, watching them have seizures was very satisfying and then they were dead.
She cleared the front then tried to look through the windows before she entered. Unfortunately the house was full of bugs and all different sizes, then she saw what was left of her Sister and Grandfather.
