The Alpha Omega.

Darkness.

"River?"
Trey says, standing in the doorway.

"Yeah."
I say and turn around, then walk back inside. I close the door, before turning to face the body.

"What the fuck happened, and why is your mouth covered in blood?"
He says and steps back.

"I'm an Alpha.... It's hard to explain."
I see images flash through my head, then I realize it was Trey and I dragging bodies outside.
He had been watching us, that's why I felt weird......

Something else flashes across my mind, and I see him breaking a window.
That's when I realize it's the house I was staying in.......
He'd broken the windows, so all the infected would be inside waiting.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS AN ALPHA?"
He yells and kinda freaks.

"Shoot me in the shoulder."
I say and unholster my gun, offering it to him.

"River, WHAT THE FUCK?"
He says, then backs away.

"Just fucking do it."
I snarl and offer it to him.

"NO. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"
He screams and stands still, fear kicking in.

"Fine, I'll do it myself."
I turn the gun, then shoot the same shoulder I had earlier.....

Black blood sprays out the back of my shoulder.

Trey freaks the fuck out and backs up, until he hits the wall.

I move my shirt and growl slightly, feeling the pain of the healing kick in.
I move my shoulder, feeling the movement come back.

"Holy Fuck....."
Trey stares at me.

"Do I need to do it again? I can't feel the shot, but I feel the heal."
I go and grab a hoodie, throwing it on, because my shirt had holes all in it.

"What about me?"
He says and looks at me confused.

"You're a Beta.... I can smell it."
I go to the couch and reload my pistol's clip.

"What's a Beta?"
He says even more confused.

"If you get bit..... You turn into an Omega.
A.K.A the infected."
I finish and slam the clip back in.

"Ok.... But why'd you drink his blood and do you want to drink mine?"
He gulps and sits still, looking at the gun beside him.

"I don't know, it's like I needed to and it called to me. I feel more powerful now, but I don't know if anything changed......
Also, don't reach for the gun.
I have advanced speed and before you could ever touch it, I'd have a bullet in your head.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I have no reason to."
I say and holster my weapon, before sliding on my belt.

"What are you doing?"
He looks at me, as I slide the
.22 pistol into my shoe.

"I'm going out... I need to scout UTM."
I grab my AR and sling it over my shoulder, before grabbing the .22 rifle and doing the same.
Holding the AR, I slide the bolt back. Then, make sure I have the seven extra mags in my pants and on my belt.

"You can't, it's pitch black outside."
He looks at me like I'm stupid.

I look out and it looks clear as day, like the suns out.
There's no sun though.
I blink and make sure I'm seeing this clearly, before turning to Trey.

"It's fine... It looks like it's daytime to me."
I move the dresser aside, then pull the door to.
Leaving the house behind and looking around.

Nothing.

It felt so freeing with the infection running through me.
"Now, I'm gonna try and explain this....."
I think to myself as I go over the information I'd gotten from him.
