“Ivor was acting strange ever since he killed Maya. He was seeing things that weren’t there, becoming even more aggressive and shutting himself out. He’s becoming paler and thinner. I mean the man is deranged, but this is even weird for him.” Axel pointed out. “It’s probably nothing.” Lukas answered, brushing off Ivor’s condition.

“I don’t think it’s just nothing.” Jesse added. “Petra was acting the same way, becoming paler, being aggressive, distancing herself.” Jesse continued. “Plus he’s been weird about people even coming close to him.” Olivia pitched in.

“I’ll check on him.” Jesse insisted. Right before Jesse could make another step, Axel grabbed him by the collar. “Are you crazy!? If he IS infected and these are all true, it’s not safe to be around him! He deserves to rot by himself.” Axel argued. “True, but we barely know if anyone else is alive, I’m not losing more people.” Jesse answered.

Axel sighed. “Then I’m coming with you.” He insisted. “I’m not losing anyone else to this.” Axel added. “I’ll come too.” Lukas pitched in. Axel rolled his eyes. “I guess three is better than two.” He mumbled. Lukas glared.

They walked into the lab quietly, Jesse holding out a torch. Jesse looked down at the ground. Blood was leading to another door. “The fuck?” Axel questioned. “Stay behind me.” Jesse insisted. They followed the blood path, Jesse jumping at every crack and creek. “It sounds like bones cracking.” Axel added.

“That’s reassuring.” Lukas replied. “Quiet.” Jesse shushed. Jesse continued to step forward until getting to the door. “Why is paper littered everywhere?” Lukas asked, trying to be quiet. “Don’t know, I’m just more focused on finding Ivor.” Jesse answered honestly.

Jesse reached for the door, placing his hand on the doorknob. He slowly opened it, making a loud creek. Jesse shined the torch. “Ivor?” Jesse called out, seeing Ivor in the corner. His head kept twitching rapidly. “RUN.” Ivor yelled. His head snapped back, making Jesse back away a bit. A giant, sharp smile formed on Ivor’s face as he looked at Jesse.
