Blood Moon. Age Of Survival

chapter 4

Blood. My inner mind says as I slowly wake up. Blood kept whispering to me but I tried to quench the thirst.

This wasn't me I know.  But I should try being me. I woke up finally after putting the urge of blood to rest. Three men stood ahead of me each of them pointing their ammo at me, looking at me dangerously.
" aye, the dumbo is awake" one of the men shouted as he saw one of my eyes twitch open.
" hey why are you excited about the boy waking up" the second man said as he shot me a murderous stare. " we still have to revenge Mr Kimberly after what he had done"
What?, What did they mean avenge and what have I done to Mr. Kimberly. .
I couldn't remember anything that happened, what have I done? Then the memory flashed in my head as I slowly turned into another version of Jay. My eyes were red, my hand was crunched and I walked in a sane movement, then I jumped on someone and drank his blood.
"What the heck" I cursed. The men looked at me and ready their ammo and each of them pointed it at me more firmly and murderously.
"Hey, hey cool the young man wouldn't do anything," a man said as he appeared behind the men. He was wearing a khaki trouser and a beach shirt his hair was messy and he held no ammo. He looks like he is the leader of these men or whatever team they are in but I guess they aren't military men or government agents.
What are they then?
" the kid is a murder Vance," one of the men said again.
So the man's name Is Vance. He looked at me and smiled." It isn't Joe. The kid got taken over by his other self and he had no choice but to act like that, so he isn't the one," Vance said in my defense.

"What the heck, man? You saw what he did to Kimberly, drinking his blood like it's a soda drink and you're talking BS," a man with a scared look on his face yelled at Vance.

Vance turned and gave him a hard stare. "Is Kimberly dead?" he asked.

"No."

"Then why the commotion? He is still very much alive. Let's just thank God and keep this kid; he is innocent."

The men looked at me and then nodded their heads.

"God knows what you are up to, Vance. I know you to be the crooked type, but whatever nasty plan you are thinking of playing, you better not let it affect all of us, or we are done with you," Joe said and stumbled outside angrily, while the others followed closely behind him.

"Oh, yeah, whatever, fools," Vance called after them. Why is he defending me against them, I almost killed a man and a member at that and he still insisted that I am innocent. There is something fishy about this man. He wants to play a game. What is he planning?
Vance moved towards me cut the ropes I was tied down with, and looked me in the eye. " are you okay?"
" yeah," I nodded.
" Good" he smiled. " I guess that covers it up"
"Who are you people ?" I asked.
" We," he corrected. " well we are a soldier who protects everyone from the blood-sucking human and takes them out of harm as we did to you "
I shook my head. " stronghold?"
" YEAH," he laughed. " I guess you are brilliant after all"
I took my hopes up. " look I Know this must sound stupid but do you know anyone by Big Bo?"
"Where does he live, city?, Town, or is he living abroad?"
"No" I shook my head." He is in the same city we are in just a few miles away from where you picked me" He thought for a minute before speaking. " I haven't met anyone by the name but I think I have heard it, it should be in the record book"
" record book, what is that for?"
" you know we take everyone's names we saved down in a book, so if anyone gets lost or you know we can know who it is "
I felt amused. A good place to hide for the main time. " where are Rose and Stephen?"
" Okey, among with other survivors in the hall," Vance said.
" I have to go see them," I said as I stood up and made for the door.
" no you can't" Vance interrupted.
I turned and faced him looking at him dead in the face." Why?"
" cause, " he brought out a long-sized mirror.
What is he using that for?
I wanted to force a laugh when Vance put the mirror in my face." cause you are not like them anymore," he said.
And yes he is right. I was not like them anymore. I was not the Jayden Scott. I was another version. My iris was a bloody red color, and while my face was still intact I had some bruises that didn't look like they should be treated. While my teeth contained some blood and...
A flesh. I spat and used my hand to rub my mouth. " what the hell" I cursed.
What am I?
Vance seemed calm as he watched me displaying some act.
" what the hell is happening" I asked.
" you are already bitten by your cousin. I mean your fellow zombie, which had turned you into one, and it took over your thinking when you were trying to protect your siblings from the zombie you turned into one and started ripping flesh off them. And you also accidentally attacked one of our comrades which made all the other men pissed at you, and I am slightly surprised you still changed back" "Look, did you mean I killed.." I just couldn't bring myself to think of it. " I also attacked a human, did Roses or Stephen see me doing that?"
Vance looked at his foot. " You are worried about that"
"Answer me did they see me doing that?"  I yelled.
He nodded" Of course they saw you ripping the men and zombie skins off and drinking their blood, they freaked out and fainted "
What the hell?
I sat into the chair behind me. " they are never going to meet me again "
" They are just freaked out in the meantime you could meet them, I guess "
" no you don't know them, they are very scared of blood, and ...."
" look you could make things right. " Vance said looking serious.
" how you could stay in here with us and get to see your brother and sister every day if you could tell me how you managed to maintain your humanity "
" what do you mean?"
" I meant how do you do it, I saw this on you " he raised the needle drug mom had given me up" I saw this on you when you fainted, it is something poisonous but I couldn't still figure it out so I asked do you know if you have a rare blood type or seen different changes in your blood "
I didn't get what he was saying. All this seems like crazy. A rare blood type what is that?
Of course, my blood is just red and normal like everyone's.
"Why are you asking me all this, I don't know anything," I said.
He smiled. " of course you do but you don't, "
"What do you mean?"
" you have a rare blood type which made your mom give you this drug, " he indicated the needle." In case Sid you turned into a zombie and she bit you only to make her experiment work what a great achievement Nora "
He called my mom's name.
" what how do you know my mom's name?" I said.
" of course, your mom and I are long-time friends but she just couldn't tell you, do you know how the apocalypse came into existence?".
I shook my head. " no"
" it is because of your mom, " he said.
I felt angry at what he just said. " what the hell did you mean my mom, she isn't the cause of it"
" of course, she isn't the course of it because she is the real monster who transforms humans into beings like her"
I felt myself sinking right where I was.
What did I just hear? My mom was the one who spread the zombie illness.
How is that possible?
