The Infected Part 12

Bella P.O.V.
Crying and screaming I wake up and hug my knees rocking back and forth trying to calm myself down after I had another of my strange dreams. "Why!?! Why can you make these things stop?!?! You know you stop this!!!!" I scream to myself, still shutting my eyes tight.

We will not help you unless you give in to your biggest fear, darling. The voices explain firmly and in harmony.

You know perfectly well that we wish to help you but you must cooperate if you want to rid yourself of these dreams! Grace, one of the voices in my head, says softly as a sense of peace comes over me but I ignore the comfort trying to make a point.
"I just want clarity knowing I can sleep and I won't be scared to sleep!!!" I scream as I jump clenching my head.

Furious! Stop making her this way!!! It's harming her!!! June, the voice with my sister's nature, yells at another voice named Furious.

Where is Fright? Nameless, the voice who has the most reason, said seeming concerned for the voice that, I believe, controls me without mercy during my sleep.

I don't care where he is! He doesn't care that these dreams are hurting me!!! I think so I don't have to say it aloud. I sink to the floor on my knees so overwhelmed with my feelings and everything that's gone downhill. I always feel better after I cry because bliss settles after my sadness so I don't hold back on my tears. Wiping my cold, tan face I stand and take in my surroundings trying to remember how I got there.
I hear a rushing of water and I follow its peaceful sounds until I reach a familiar water fall not too far from the hotel I used to go to when I was younger. Not thinking I walk towards the warm water and dive in, as I surface I see a figure staring at me with dead eyes. I tilt my head not knowing if it was a friend from my group or a zombie curious of what I was, not recognizing my human scent. I swim back and forth in the water seeing if the figure would follow me and it did. With that I confirmed that the shape was an Infected, wondering why it hadn't attacked me yet I daringly & stupidly swim closer. I notice how it makes a human grumble but has the limp like a zombie and I gasp when it had eyes like a person who hadn't been bit. "Are you a zombie?" I ask not expecting an answer but I double-take when it huffs, sounding like a yes. I ask it more questions and find out he hasn't been fully bit and that zombie blood got into him. I asked him if zombies can swim but he huffs they can't and my eyes light up. He makes a face that would probably be raising an eyebrow but it comes as him closing one of his eyes.
