Infiltration (Part 1)

Chapter 2 (The Childrens School)

We started to walk alone in our newly ruined city. Everything seemed out of order. I could barely recognize my brothers school. Wait... if he had school today then... the other children. I ran over fallen debris and tried to reach the school. I ran in to see the women working at the counter, dead. Her body was in three separate parts: her head, her arm and her torso. I ran to the right which was the hallway with all the classes. I turned left and right, trying to find the room number. 5c, 5c! C'mon! I found it. I slowly opened the wooden door. It creaked open. When I stepped down I felt something rubbery. It was a dislocated limb. I looked down to see it, separate of from the person. I slowly tilted my head up. My eyes opened out to as far as they could be. My jaw dropped as I starred at them, laying there.

There it was, slipping through the walls and falling down against the floor. Blood was covering the walls from the paintings. I looked around the room, startled by the graphic imagery I had witnessed. I looked forward and so the creepiest thing that I have ever seen. A happy face drawn by kids, covered in blood. That wasn't even the worst part. I looked up over the smiley face and there it was. It read "hi!" It was drawn by blood. A kid couldn't reach that high. A teacher would never do such a thing. There is only one explanation. At that moment I heard my mom walk in. "Take cover!" I yelled. Gun shots flew around the room as I flipped a desk and sat behind it. My mom jumped over the desk and hid with me. Gunfire could be heard in the distance. I was completely scared for my life. I heard a man reload then the sound of rapid fire ran throughout the room. I could feel my body pumping through this terrifying moment. My mom and I were defenseless. We couldn't do anything to fight back or attack with our bare fists. I was about to have a heart attack. I could feel my soul escape from my body. I could feel my soul fly around, trying to escape the gunfire. The gunfire suddenly stopped and I heard a man yell "were out of bullets!" They started to run into the room. Footsteps were heard from all around. I just sat there. Slowly, a face started to appear from around the corner. It looked like an army general or some kind of Navy Seal. "They don't look infected yet" I heard the man yell. I heard running and soon we were crowded by men. There was around seven people crowding around us. "Hello ma'm. I'm lieutenant Fury, from the Navy Seals. My full name is Demetrius Fury. Nice to meet you." I was scared and glad at the same time. Glad because it's a Navy Seal and I can trust them and scared because they just tried to kill me! I stood up, threw my fists in the air and slapped Demetrius. His face grew red on the place I slapped him. He smiled. "Good, you can stand up for yourself." I had an irate expression on my face. I thought to myself for a second. Infected? Is that what dad was talking about? Infiltrators? "You said that were not infected. Does that mean people have already turned into Infiltrators?" He looked worried. The Navy Seals looked at each other. Some looked scared and some looked confused. "How do you know what an Infiltrator is? No one is supposed to know." He looked annoyed now. I didn't know that no one knew about it. "My father told me about it. He said that they get an update or something." His eyes widened. "Yes, every week they change. I'm very annoyed that you know this. It's top secret." My mouth moved to the side them was put back in place. I had a weird feeling in my stomach like someone was watching me. I looked around for a second, half thinking about how it's top secret and half about something around me. "I'm guessing you know how to get infected." I turned around to look at him and said "no." He grinned then laughed while looking down. He looked up and said "you need to get at least three scratches from an Infiltrator to be a full threat. If you have only one then you heart will change. Every week you will have a need for flesh. It will burn inside you. It will only be on a Sunday and for every ten hours. Now, of you have two then that's different. It happens Monday through Friday and you will have the need for flesh every two hours. So please, don't get scratched. It's your only chance of survival."

I sat down on a dusty chair to think about what he had said. You have to avoid it all cost. Sounds like a horror movie to me. "Beatrix, we need to leave" she said while looking at me. She looked at Demetrius and asked "do you have any kind of shelter that we could stay at?" He moved his head left and right. "Yes, but it's far away. You see, we go to new territory every month, and this is new territory. You live here in New York but we live in California. I was annoyed. "Damn" I said to myself. My mom looked up and asked "don't you think we could build a base? There is a lot of debris and we could build it out of that." My mom had a point. "Yes, but before we do that, what is your name miss?" He said to my mom. "Joanna, Joanna Stephen" she answered. "And I suppose your daughters name is Beatrix Stephen?" He said. "Yeah" my mom answered again.

My mom, Demetrius, the other Navy Seals and me walked out into the world. I could hear a siren loud and clear. It was loud and it sounded like a nuclear siren, like in movies when the apocalypse starts. That might actually be for me too. I looked over to my father building to see a hand shoot out. It was pail and the veins were black. It grabbed the glass and shit out of the building. It fell on the floor and had no scratches surprisingly after falling two floors. My dad had died doing that but that might be just because he shot himself in the head. It was an Infiltrator. I'm sure of it. More shot out of the building. As they shot out, more gained speed and got closer to us. "Here they come!" I yelled. "Open fire!" Demetrius bellowed at the top of his lungs. The Navy Seals grabbed their guns and shit at the beasts. They gained speed. One got shot and flew into the side of a building. I ran back with my mom as the Infiltrators threw themselves on the Seals. I heard the scream of one and another flew in my direction. His body hit a truck then flew in the air, creating a splash of oil. I had to turn around because of the oil that had exploded. The Seal was dead. Then I saw it, all of the Seals were laying on the floor. I looked around their bodies just because of pure terror. Suddenly, I saw three scratches. He moved up slightly making a growl noise while doing so. He was shivering as he slowly got up. His veins turned black and his skin turned pail. He smiled. I couldn't describe the expression. All I knew was it wasn't human. My eyes widened and I turned around. The Seal ran at me with all of his brute force. My mom jumped behind the fallen car. I ran, my heart beating like a bullet. I could hear a screech and a loud push off the ground. I saw it's face in front of me. I thought that I couldn't move when really it was because of pure fear. His mouth grew wide ready to bite me and his claws slashed into the cars next to me making a line of sparks. It slide of the cars and went for my face. I leaned back, almost ready to fall. It got closer to me. I saw the claws run in front of my face and almost slide on my jaw and mouth. I was ready to die.
