The Alpha Omega.

Alpha

I walk back downstairs and decide to check outside, then I unholster my M1911.
I step out the front slowly, then scan the park in front of the house.

Nothing.

I step out and go left, before walking to the side of the house. I see one infected and walk up to it, then raise my pistol and pull the trigger.
He drops and the shots suppressed.

That doesn't stop the infected beside me from biting my arm.
I raise the gun and put one bullet through it's head, before putting my back to the wall.

I put the pistol in my mouth and get ready to pull the trigger....

I wait though. Knowing that it could have different effects on different people.

"1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10."
I start counting, before feeling something kick on inside me.
It was like I could hear, smell, and see everything.

"It's time to pull the trigger."
I think to myself and get ready, but realize I don't feel hungry. "Yeah I'm kinda hungry for an M.R.E, but I don't wanna eat Trey."

I think to myself, then look at the bite....

I can't feel it.

"That's the infection taking place, infected can't feel anything, I guess this means I'm infected."

My mouth drops at what happens next, but it actually did.

The bite started healing......

It looked like black venom was spreading over the missing chunk, then it turned mixed and blended in with my skin.

Now, you can call me stupid.
But, I needed to see if I would heal again.
I take the pistol, put it to my shoulder, then squeezed the trigger.

"FUUUUCKKKKK."
I yell and lean back.....
"Holy fuck, I hope this heals. I can't feel it, but I know it's supposed to hurt."
I think to myself, but keep the pistol ready for anything that heard me.

I look at my shoulder and watch as the black venom stretches over, then I feel a burning sensation as it heals.

"Holy shit, my adrenaline blocked the pain last time."
I think to myself, as the sensation goes away and I flex my arm.

I stand up and listen.. I can hear infected stumbling by on the street, so I decide to try and sneak by.
It doesn't work, but when they start running I don't panic.
I see four infected, which means four bodies.

I feel this need for blood.
I don't know why, but it was like I needed to kill.....

I holster the pistol and watch as the first approaches, then I right hook and feel it's head explode on my fist.
I saw the second and didn't think, as I swing a left hook and it's skull cracks......

I don't know what gave me this power, or why I'm using my hands.

It just made me feel powerful and so much better.....

The next two come and they don't stand a chance.
I kick the first one in the knee, listening as it breaks and seeing the thing fall.
I bring my foot up and slam it down, smashing it's skull on the ground.

I look up at the last one and watch, seeing if it was gonna attack.
It didn't. It looked me up and down, sniffed the air, then it was almost like he nodded to me.....

I walked towards him and he didn't move, just watched me.
I put my hand in front of his mouth, but he shook his head.
I was amazed, I didn't know why this was happening.....

I still felt a thirst for blood though, so I grabbed his head and slammed it into the brick porch.

Finally, the urge went away and I felt partly normal.
"What the fuck?"
I think to myself, as I walk inside. I move the dresser back in front of the door, but this time with a gentle push.

I can't explain it. It's like I had extraordinary power.
I felt faster, stronger, and smarter...

I hear footsteps outside, then I peek out.
There's a kinda lanky, malnourished, but creepy guy outside. He walks up to the door and inspects it, before taking a step back.

"What the fuck are you doing?"
I think to myself, but hold my breath... Not knowing why, but feeling like I needed to. I unholster the pistol and stand in the dining room, then move to where I'll be right by the door if he comes in......

That's when the door flies open, because he'd just kicked it in. I stand up and face him, gun on his head and ready to fire.

"Who are you?"

He doesn't respond, instead he tries to hit the gun.
I move it down slightly, before grabbing his arm and leg sweeping him.
Then, putting my gun to the back of his head.

"Again, who are you?"
I ask and get ready to pull the trigger.

"So, you are the Alpha. Your little friends the beta."
He says and tries to sweep my legs, but I jump and deliver a kick to his ribs and move my aim to his chest.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"
I say and think about just blasting him away.

"You can't get infected and you're a lucky one, you got healing."
He looks at me.

"Why are you trying to kill me?"
I say and kick him in the chest, so he's on his back.

"Because....... That's the only way an Alpha can get stronger, and develop new abilities."
He jumps and tries to grab me, but I shoot his stomach, then aim at his head... I squeeze the trigger and he goes limp.
That's when I feel the thirst kick in. The black blood leaking from him did something to me.

I drop to my knees and begin sucking on his neck. Right where the bullet hole is.

I couldn't stop it.

Something took over, then I sucked every drop of blood from him that I could......

That's when my mind somehow gets filled with information.... Don't ask me how, but it was like I was taking information from him.

I now knew some but not all about being an Alpha.

When I'm done, before I stand up, I wipe my mouth using his shirt. Then stand up and walk outside, take in a huge breath of fresh air.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I lean my head back and roar.

I'm not scared.
I don't have any fear.
I'm not freaked out.

I'm an Alpha.
Why should I be?
