Impossible Prey

Chapter 3: Explanation

"Alexandra, only about 30,000 survivors and 70,000 dead" Patsy my right hand informed as she handed me a number of descriptions.

"Mark Passner of District Central New Reports is dead?" I questioned as I traced my fingers on his picture.

"He's dead of a stake to the heart. Puncture wounds on his neck indicated something or someone bit him before his death" she stated.

"Do you think their back?.......the Inhumans I mean" I gazed at her as she sighed deeply, taking the slim paper from my hand, setting it on the tables. She didn't answer.

"We cleared about 300 bodies from stationary, Sophie is at Hospital District, and Max is still unconscious at the Hospital but their are both alive because of you" she had a small smile playing around on her face.

"No, there alive because of the District" I reacted differently as she quietly chuckled at my silly optimism.

"Well, Alexander told me to go to stationary and probably help out, clean bodies----and check if there are inhumans lurking around" I tramped to stationary, gaping at the bodies still left there.

"Alexandra" Justin hollered to me from the side, as I crossed the sea of bodies to him.

"Who's that?" I asked seeing a girl with dark brown hair, pale blue lips, also dead on a bright yellow stretcher.

"Our victim is a Jane Doe. Scanning from the organs, she had lupus and she was dying" he handed me blue gloves as I slipped them off.

"She also had this" he moved her head slightly " she had slight bruising on her neck and a bite mark on her neck as well" he pointed. There was black blood pulsing out of the neck wound injury.

"Mark Passner had the same exact bite mark" I sighed rubbing my neck.

I glanced at Max who was sleeping. he had an IV  through his arm, his chest pumping slowly as he peeled his eyes open.

"Alexandra?" he questioned as he saw my blurry figure standing by the door.

" Alex....I'm so sorry" he muttered to me as I found myself  proceeding to him, sitting down and glaring at him.

"I can't do this anymore" I told him, my voice was weary.

"What?" his speech was slurred lightly as he struggled to find my hand laying beside his hip.

"No, I-I love you. I -I can atone for what I done. S-Sophie meant nothing to me as but you do. I can't lose you" he sat up, pulling me towards him urgently.

"You already lost me" I seethed softly as he begged  me to stay but my heart said no. I felt his vibrating pulse consuming me.

"How can I decide to be with you if you cheated on me everyday for the past month!!!" I hauled my hand back from as he looked shocked.

"We're through" with that I plodded out the room with anger boiling inside of me
