Chapter 2: What Just Happened?

The following morning, I found myself in my room but on the floor. Accompanied by what I will refer to as a hangover because the room was going round.
I stood up like a drunk woman who is getting more and more tipsy....and looked outside the window. The Bright light brought me to my reality. It was just another nightmare.
I sat on the bed took out my phone and called Mike.
"Hello you are awake?" He asked from the other line.
"Hi, yeah. Ok I wanted to tell you that we should not go on with our plans, I have a bad feeling about it?" I said.
"What do you mean Sera? Which plans?" He asked.
"I had a very bad dream..about the lab and everything, if we proceed, things would really go wrong." I said so fast.
"Sera! Sera listen to me, it wasn't a dream, it really did happen, but everything If fine." He said trying to calm me down over the phone.
"What? You are saying everything that I dreamt of happened?" I asked.
It wasn't a dream Sera, check your phone you will find some videos you took from last night." He said.

I didn't want all that to be a reality, but I still need to know if it wasn't.
I opened my video gallery and there they were 6 new videos.
I went on and viewed each one of them. My eyes filled with tears as I press the home button to exit.
What have we done? What will happen now.
I needed to know what happened to the others.
I called them one by one and they seemed to be fine.I guess no harm was done.

As I was going to the kitchen from my room. I slipped and fell but instead of falling i actually landed on my two legs with my knees bent.
"Whoa! What just happened?" I asked myself.
Must be a coincidence.

I turned on the Tv and there were breaking news on all our local channels and some few International Channels too.
"This is the raw footage of the secret lab that everyone had been hearing about, it was indeed true. Some toxic chemicals were found at the sight which were identified as a deadly virus .The place has been locked down and the virus... I guess we'll never know. But the question is. If these crazy scientists have not been captured, do you think it's over? Or will they try to make other ones some other places?" Said the news-anchor.

Looking at the screen that was the same video i took from my phone. How did the press get it?
I looked into my phone to see if I sent the video to the press.
Oh My! I did send the video to not only one.. but to all our local channels. I wasn't in the right mind of state, what was I thinking.
I immediately texted all my friends at least the ones that were with me last night and asked them to meet up at our usual place.
I took my breakfast and set off.
You wonder where my family is at.... My dad is transferred to South Africa and he's working there under a 2 years contract, my mum is the head of chefs in one of Mombasa's 5 star Hotel. My older brother is in the the army. His name is Derrick.
That makes me a loner who seek attention and I think I got one.
I went to Mike's place and guess what? no one showed up except for Mike who literally lives there.
"They are not coming are they?" I asked Mike and he just gave me a shrug.
"Do you think the infection passed me yesterday?" I asked him.
"For me to answer that, you will have to tell me what the hell happened down there and don't show me the videos." He said typing on his giant computer.
"I will need your full attention on this," I said.
I told him exactly how everything happened and how I was the only one down there who was not affected by the toxic.
"Wow...! That is so amazing. You mean you felt completely nothing? As in...nothing happened to you while the others were laying unconscious on the floor?" He asked amused.
"Yes...nothing?" I replied.

"Well according to my research and studies, there are only two reactions to when a virus gets in your body one is that it usually enters the cell body releasing RNA, hoping you know what that is?" He stopped and asked.
"Yeah, keep going," I said wanting to know more.
"The Virus...after infecting the host cell, they reproduce and spread all over the body. Other deadly Virus like this one, attacks the heart and brain... then you die!" He said with a very awkward finishing.
"Just like that?" I asked standing up and pacing around his room.
"So it's confirmed am gonna die..?" I said with an almost crying tone my fingers massaging my head tensely.
"You will not die......yet." He said.
"What do you mean by Yet?" I asked arms crossed.

"I mean, your case is different, especially yours. The others showed symptoms of a viral infections in few minutes right? And not you...And you gave them the antiviral shot. Now to answer your question, there's a possibility that the virus liked you or in other word, bonded with you." He said opening some folders on his desktop to show me how correct his statement might be.

"So that means what?....it's still inside of me?" I asked terrified.
"Am sorry but yeah, looks like it." He answered like it was some good news.
"How can I get it out?" I asked hoping he has just the answer that I needed.
"Well there was a cure," he started.
"A cure? Where...?" I asked.
"You kinda left it at the lab which was just cleaned up. The antivirus was the only cure. Unless we became magicians and make one ourselves." He said wiping his glasses.
"Your brother... Sickler!" I yelled after few seconds of thinking hard.
"What about Sickler?" He asked.
"He studied and worked as a pathologist abroad. Maybe he can help us find a cure." I said with confidence.

"Help you...not us, and i don't think he will be able to do that. We don't even know what kind of cancer handmade virus is this?" He said in a negative tone.
"Am sure he will know." I said positive.
"I'll go home now but please make sure you contact him." I said picking my phone from the bed and walking to the door backwards and before I could turn around to grab the door knob, I was already out of Mike's room holding the knob from outside.

"What just happened?" Yelled Mike from his room. The door was closed and how was I outside if I didn't open the door. Mike opened the door widely and dragged me inside by my hand.
As he made me stand in the middle of his room my lower jaw was still dropped out of shock.
"How did you do that?" He asked me shaking me to respond immediately.
"I have no idea what just happened," I replied looking at the door and back momentarily.

"You just passed through the door while it was closed, can you explain that?" He asked excitedly.

"I really don't know how that happened. I should leave and no word about this to anyone not even your so called girlfriend Shiro." I said changing my tone from soft to a warning tone.
I opened the door and I went back home.

The second weirdest thing that happened to me today. This must be another nightmare.
