Chapter 5: The Chase.

"Another one." Carter said while pointing at what had once been a human seemed to be nothing more than an empty cuccoon now.

"He's definitely close," Carter said on almost a whispering tone.

"You think?" Sapherine said on the same tone.

Carter's look said everything, he was fed up with her sarcastic comments everytime he said something and eventhough he didn't respond to her commentary she thought it was way too funny to stop.

"I can sense him." Alexandra said.

"How far along?" Sapherine asked.

Alexandra looked at her and pointed at the dumpster behind the café the boy was reported to be seen last. Sapherine's eyes turned from brown to white to blue.

But before she could walk over Alexandra grabbed her hand.

"He's afraid, I'll go," she whispered.

"What? No, Alex this is my problem, now let me deal with it." Sapherine said on her most quiet shouting voice.

"No, we have walked for over a half hour searching for him, I think the symptoms are getting more complicated," she said pointing at the corpses.

"I think, since your anger is getting the best of you, I'm the best person to go talk to him." she said and looked at Carter as if she was saying "keep an eye on her".

"Fine, but bring him to me when you're done with him," she whispered.

Alexandra took small steps towards the dumpster and had already awoken her eyes just in case she needed to do anything that wasn't a part of the plan.

She took it step by step and cautiously waited for anything to happen. But when she turned the dumpster she saw what she had been fearing at first when she heard she had the virus that Sapherine had. The infection was now spreading in his blood, which will lead him to either die or.. she didn't even want to think about it.

She waved over to the others to come over then quickly and instinctively she put her middlefingers in his ear causing the smoke to move inside his body and possibly hold off the effect of the infection.

"We have to get him to a doctor," she said still while still investigating the infection.

"What are we gonna say? Hi, we're in need of help. We're part of a secret organisation led by a superintelligent breed of bees. This guy has a virus which will destroy his natural powers given to him by these bees and oh yeah, possibly destroy everything in it's way especially other human contacts." Sapherine said while smiling and getting ready to "take care of her problem".

"No, we're going to him." Carter said giving Alexandra a look.

"Screw that." Alexandra said.

"Alex, eventhough I want to kill the guy, I agree with Carter, first of all he's dying second it's a good time to.. Talk."

"About what?" Alex shouted.

"About everything, don't you want to know?"

"About how my parents misabused nature and created me, the world's greatest weapon or possibly it's saving point? Sure."

"Maybe it's not like that." Carter said fast.

"No, I don't want to know."

"Well do you have a better idea?" Sapherine asked.

"Well.. We can always go to.."

"Too dangerous." Carter said.

"I agree." Sapherine said.

After a few seconds Alexandra felt that the boy was doing worse than before. His eyes started going from light to blue and his body was feeling colder than ever.

"Carter, can you carry him?"

"Yeah sure, where are we going?"

"An old friend of my parents."

"Wouldn't we need a car to even get to Zoroman town?" Sapherine asked.

"Really? Did you really think I was going to find a car?" Alexandra asked synically.

"Oh what will we do?" Carter asked sarcasticly.

"Screw you guys." Sapherine said smiling.

"Race you there?"

"First one there gets to kiss Carter?"

"Deal." Sapherine said laughing.

"Hey, I don't know if I agree with.." But Carter was talking to air, the girls had already left.
