Barely Breathing

Chapter 68

NOTE: NOT EDITED
Sorry this chapters sort of sort and its not the best, but I promise I'll keep this story going until the end, no matter how bad my writing gets! Somedays the words just flow right out of me, others I can only imagine the feelings that they are feeling and try to describe it the best I can but when I do that second one my writing can be sorta bad? Just bear with me here people 😂 I promise next chapter will be longer and better!

*Megans P.O.V.*
"I love you too." I responded. My eyes started to burn, I could feel them turning red and puffy as tears started to drip down my face.
"Why are you acting weird with me?" Dan asked yet again. Man was this dude persistent.
I paused for a moment, trying to come up with an excuse.
"I have no idea. When I find out I'll make sure that you are notified." I said politely, trying to cover up the fact that I was crying.
Dan raised an eyebrow, "notified?" He laughed. "I'm not calling my doctor here to find out if my blood has some sort of disease? Something had to have happened out there?"
I thought about his question for a few seconds, did anything happen?
I was almost kidnapped again, found Blake, Blake then helped my fix my wound, spent most of my time alone or with him, then had to ditch our hideout because the zombies tried to take over, then got home to Mason dying on the cold hard ground.
I dont think any of that would cause me to change or "act weird"?
I shrugged my shoulders at him.
"Nothing really happened." I confessed honestly.
"You sure? I mean you seem pretty ten-" Dan started to say but got cut off by someone yelling.
"Dani?" I yelled as I jumped out of bed to see what was going on.
"Help!" She screamed louder.
I ran into the room almost ripping the sheet door to see Mason on top of Dani, he had her by the neck and was growling a her?
"Mason get the fuck off of her!" I yelled as I ran over to her rescue.
I tried prying Mason off but he wouldnt budge. Dan started to help, then Blake ran in right after.
Mason then turned his head towards mine and I could see right through his white clear eyes that it wasnt him anymore.
*Blakes P.O.V*
I hear Dani's pleads for help and ran up the ladder as quickly as I could.
When I entered the room, Megan and Dan were already at each end of the bed trying to pry his fingers off of her neck.
I grabbed a hold of Masons feet and tried to pull him off of Dani.
I had no idea what was happening, but I dont think anyone else knew either. Everyone seemed confused and scared, especially Dani.
"Get off of her!" Megan yelled in his face.
And just like that, Masons body went limp, only for a few seconds though before he began breathing heavily, coughing and hacking like he just swallowed some pool water.
"What the fuck?" I heard Dan whisper.
"What?" Mason responding oviously hearing Dans comment.
Mason glarred at Dan with a fearful yet angry look.
"Um, are you okay dude?" I asked suddenly to keep the tention at a low.
"I-I dont know?" He answered as he looked around the room shaking his head.
Dani was fearing for her life at the end of the bed as everyone was now inside of the room with us, huddling around her to make sure she stayed safe.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Emily screeched as she slapped Mason across the face.
I could hear his little whince of pain as his hand moved quickly to his face, craddling his chin like it was a child.
"Easy now everyone, lets keep the anger on the dl." I explained.
Emily crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "How can I do that when my best friend was attac-"
Megan interupted her, holding a finger to her lips Emily became mute.
"I have no idea what the hell is going on here, but I dont like it." She started to say but paused for a moment. "Mason here, wasnt himself when this happened. He turned his face to me, and when he did, I sassumed that he had transformed into one of hose creatures."
Everyone took a moment to process this. I glanced at everyone in the room and it seemed to me that a lot of people inside this room had a lot of questions.
"Well." Someone spoke up out of the crowd.
"Maybe our immune systems are trying to fight against the zombie virus?" Dan spoke up.
