How I Became Undead

I used to be a normal Explorer. Living the great life, exploring biomes, fighting monsters, trading with villagers, and other things that Made life GREAT. That's when IT happened. It started like a normal day, waking up. Feeding my wolfs, eating some breakfast, then getting on my way to where ever the wind would take me. Right when I walked out my door. BAM! IT happened. A zombie bit my right arm before I could see it. I pushed him away and threw a sword through him. I knew that finished him off, but what I didn't know was the true danger I was in from getting bitten by that zombie. That was no normal zombie. That was a alpha zombie, and whatever a alpha zombie bites they can inject a poison that will make the victim have 1 of 2 side-effects. 1. Is you die within days. You will have no pain or anything, then u will die instantly at a random time. 2. You will become a undead, evil, menacing zombie. And the only cure from the second side-effect is from being blessed by a Brine. The odd thing for me when I got bit was that I had pain(which usually means you'll become a zombie) but I didn't become one. I waited days inside my house waiting for IT to happen. But it never did. The pain grew worse everyday and the days seemed to get longer and longer. That's when I couldn't take it anymore! I ran downstairs and got my best sword. A golden sword named Scarlet. It was passed down from generations in my family. And it was about to END a generation. I put the sword up to my neck. Said a last few goodbyes to the world and slit my neck. **everything went black**

 

I woke up. I was confused because I was in my house on the floor. Scarlet was dripping blood, my blood. But I didn't have a cut on my neck. The wound was still on my arm but every other cut or bruise I had was gone. I looked at some glass that was reflecting me and I had black eyes. My hair was turned grey and my skin was pale. It was like....I was dead, but still alive. "Am I still alive?" I thought to myself. "I must be, I can still feel, see, eat, everything I could do when I was alive." I though again. I decided to go to bed, and maybe I'll be better in the morning.

I bolted upright sweating in the middle of the night. I didn't know where I was. I was sitting on a bed in the middle of a small barn. Then I heard people talking outside. One said, "He is the one. We've been hunting them are entire life and I've never seen one like that." "Are you sure? I've never seen one like that either. You really think he is the ONE?the ONE? What does that mean?!
