Infection

Chapter 9: Terra

"Do you even know what you're doing?" Grant asked Terra.

"Nope," Terra said.

"What?"

"I said I don't know what I'm doing," Terra told him.

"I know that, but isn't that dangerous? Not knowing what you're doing."

"Yeah, probably is."

"Probably?!? "

"Fine, definitely."

"I'll accept that," Grant said.

"I don't need you to accept it," Terra told him.

"Whatever."

"Let's just get this done."

They opened the door and stepped outside.

"How do we do this?" Grant asked.

"I think we take a hair without touching the rest of her."

"Probably."

"Seriously? That wasn't obvious?" Terra asked.

"Seriously," Grant said.

"So, we should get that hair, shouldn't we."

"Yeah."

They walked towards the infected woman and plucked a hair from the top of her head.

"Not as hard as I thought," Grant said.

Suddenly, the woman unfroze and grabbed Grant's arm. She pushed him against the wall and started hitting him.

"What do I do?!?" Terra screamed.

"Get Raven!" Grant yelled.

Terra ran back inside.

She ran up the stairs and burst into the room.

"Terra!" Ivy said "Why aren't you outside with Grant?"

"Just come outside!" Terra told them.

They ran down the stairs just as Grant burst back inside.

"Oh my god, Grant. What happened?" Ivy asked.

"She unfroze and started attacking me," he answered.

Ivy reached her arm out to help.

"Don't touch me!" He yelled, "I've been infected!"

"Raven, what do we do?"

"We need a cure," Terra asked.

"I'll give you your own room," Raven decided.

"Why does he get his own room?" Isaac complained.

"Shut up," Raven said sternly.

Isaac shut up, so did everybody else.

Caiden opened his mouth to say something, no sound came out. The rest of the group tried to talk, but, their voices were lost.
