Infected Virus

Chapter 2 Infected

The tires squealed as the car comes to a quick stop. My mom jumped out and ran to where I was sitting. My vision was blurry, but I could make out the shape of her body. She pulled out her phone, quickly dialing 911.
    Before I knew it I was in the hospital. I could only see out of one eye, which didn't really mean much since my vision was still blurry.
    However, I could make out where I was and that there were people standing around me
    "Hello?" I said in a faint voice but no one heard me, as I drifted back in to darkness.I woke up a week later and I could now see out of both eyes. My vision was somewhat better, but everything was still a little blurry.
    I look to my side, seeing my mom sound asleep in a chair. I look to the other side and I saw Clementine also asleep. A couple minutes later, I see a doctor walk in.
    "Ah, your finally awake"he said
    "What happened?" I asked.
    "Well, long story short you should be dead and no one knows how your alive." He states
    "Is that bad?"
    "No, but you got half your face cut off and lived, that makes you a very good "test subject".  I don't know if you want to do that for the rest of your life, but I'm pretty sure you don't"
    "How did I live?"
    " Well you know that virus that escaped from the lab, well your infected with it and it seemed to take to your body differently than others. Your immune, in fact you can't die. Their is no possible way. In fact as you can most likely tell we stitched your face back together since your unfortunate event."
    I felt my head and their were stiches running down the middle of my face and head that wrapped around to the right side right under my ear and up.
    "So I can live forever?"
    "Basically, but we need to get you out of here. Some people want to turn you in." At that time he woke up my mom. She saw me and started to cry.
    "Oh my god your alive" she said as she gave me a hug.
    Then he woke up Clementine. And when she woke up and realized I was awake she walked up to me and smacked me
    "Don't die again! I don't feel like going through that again." She said with a smile.
    "We need to get him out of here before anybody shows up," said the doctor.
    "How is he alive?" Asked Clementine.
    "I'll explain later" said the doctor as he poked his head out to see if anyone was coming.
    "What should we call you?" I asked.
    "Just call me Jack."
    At that time I found us sneaking through this hospital, at night, with someone I'm not convinced is a doctor.
    "We'll go out the back way," said Jack as he swiftly checked around the corner.
    "Hey! Stop!" says a voice from somewhere down the hall.
    "We got to go," Jack says as we take off around the corner. I look back for a split second to see that security is chasing us.
    "Turn left," Jack says as he's looking back.
    We turned but Jack stops and turns around to where he is facing the security guard who also comes to a stop. Then Jack smiles as he reaches into his coat and with lightning quick reflexes he pulls out a knife and throws it. It hits the guard right between the eyes.
    "Oh my god that guys awesome," says Clementine
    "Come on. The doors over here," he says.
    As we approach the door I see red and blue lights and as we bust out the door their are multiple FBI vans and helicopters surrounding the building.
    "Get on the ground! We got y'all surrounded," says an agent on a intercom.
    "You guys want to see something cool?" Jack asks with a smile.
    "Sure." We reply.
    At that time he pulls out a button, pushes it and bombs under the cars starts exploding. He pulls out two katanas that seems to extend out of the handles and throws them at the helicopters going straight thought the glass taking out the drivers thus causing the helicopters to crash.
    "Let's go." Jack said like everything that just happened had no effect on him.
    He pulled out another button, pushes it and a van comes flying up and squeals to a stop. The back doors open and I could see the shadowy figure of a person standing there,
    "Get in." The shadowy figure says. So we all climb in and we're off.
    "Where are we going?" I ask.
    "Somewhere safe. Somewhere no one can find us." Jack answers.
    "Where might that be?" Clementine asked.
     But at that time we pull up to what looks like a fallout shelter from the game Fallout 4. The driver pushes a button on the dash and the doors open. Inside looks like it would have everything you would need in case of a nuclear war
    "This place is cool." Clementine says in awe.
    "Yeah, it is." I agree.
    "Glad y'all think so because you might be living here for a while," Jack said
    "What! Why?" Said Clementine. "I have family I need to get back to."
    "Well, unless you can make every camera forget your face then your stuck here. Plus the virus is spreading and alot more people are infected then when this first started." Jack answered.
    "So basically we're stuck here?" I asked
    "Yeah, but if you want we can go get your friend. I hear he is held up in his house but he can't leave the town because too many infected are wandering around." Jack suggested.
    "Which friend?" I asked
    "Oscar," Jack answered
    "What about my family!! Are they safe?" Clementine asked.
    "We don't know where they are but we're trying to find them." the driver said which now I could tell was a female.
    "Who are you?" Clementine asked.
    "I'm Liam, the only person that keeps him alive" she said indicating toward Jack.
    "Hey, I'm not that bad at staying alive." Jack stated.
    "Are you sure? cause if it wasn't for me you would have been killed by that group of infected yesterday." She states.
    "Wasn't my fault. They're getting smarter." Jack said
    "What do you mean they're getting smarter?" I asked
    "Well they seem to be evolving. They are gaining skills like how to work together to catch their prey." Liam stated.
    "And I'm guessing that's not a good thing." I said
    "Nope. That's how I almost died yesterday and if I would have you would be a test subject for some scientist. You would have probably been dissected and studied. Essentially that would have been like a certain death for you." Jack says like that fazed him.
    "I already died once I don't feel like doing it again." I say.
    "Well if you guys want to survive y'all are going to need some training." Liam stated.
    Then we trained in many different skills and techniques. I learned how to use a pistol and a tomahawk, while Clementine learned how to use a sword and shield, and my mom slept. She fell asleep in the van and is still in there.
    "We need to move her so we can take the van." Jack stated
    "I know." I say.
    While they move her to one of the empty rooms something around the corner caught my eye and I was drawn to it. It was a old school rear engine dune buggy. It had a thick layer of dust that covered it and as I wiped away some of it I see "Night Wolf" shine through. Clementine came around the corner and saw it.
    "Cool." She said in awe as her eyes fell apon it
    "I know. It's like it's begging to be drove into battle." I say
    "Yeah, but not like this it needs work. Something to keep us safe from infected and the motor probably doesn't run." Clementine states.
    "So we need parts," I say. "We can get parts. There is a Auto Zone in town we can stop at when we go to get Oscar. We can get some stuff for it from there."
    "Sounds like a plan." Clementine says.
    Now we are back in town. We barely see any infected and we are getting close to Oscar's house. We still need to go by Auto Zone to get parts, and see if we find anymore survivors.
    "Ok,  Oscar's house is right up ahead on the right." I stated
    "Ok, up here on the left, got it." Liam says
    "No, the right." I correct.
    "Exactly, the left." she says with a smirk.
    "No the..." I start to say then realize that we are coming from the other direction than I thought. "You got me."
    "Exactly, the left."she said as if she was trying to hold back laughter.
    "We haven't seen any infected." Jack states.
    "Is that a bad thing?"Clementine ask.
    "Well they're learning so they might be planning an ambush. Stay on alert." He says as we pull up at Oscar's house.
    We all jump out and ready our weapons for anything. As we approach the door I see the blinds move.
    "I think their is someone in there."I state.
    At that time the door creeks open slowly and we hear a faint voice.
    "Friend or Foe?" They ask
    "Friend, we are looking for Oscar." I say, then he walks out holding a hand made spear made out of a medal pole and a triton style spearfishing head in one hand, and a hand made shield made out of a sheet of aluminum and some leather in the other hand. He looks at me, then Clementine, and then everyone else. He walks up to me and Clementine and gives us a hug.
    "I thought y'all were dead." He said as tears rolled down his face and he gripped us in a tighter hug.
At that time we hear something rustling in the woods.
    "Ok, let's go inside." Oscar says.
    As we go inside we see people, not many but some. I could tell that they were hungry, their didn't seem to be that much food in the house in fact it seems like none of them have left in days. I see a child no older than 10 and he seemed hungry, I walk up to him and his mother "here" I say and I pull out a granola bar I snagged from the van and the mother looks at me greatfully as her son eats the bar. I walk in to the kitchen and it seems to be out of food. I know we need to get them out of here soon.
    "Hey Jack, these people are hungry and we have plenty of food at the hide out. Are we going to take them with us?" I ask
    "I plan to but you two still need to go by that store, and we need to find our what's outside." Jack stated.
    "Ok, you and Liam can figure out what is outside while me and Clementine go get the parts." I suggest.
    "Ok, sounds good." He agrees.
    " I'm going with y'all." Oscar says.
    " Are you sure? it might be dangerous and someone might even die."
    "Trust me after everything I seen that doesn't scare me. So are we going or not?" Oscar asked.
    "Yeah let's go and y'all kill whatever is outside, ok." I say.
    "Ok" Jack and Liam said.
    At that time we walk outside. Jack and Liam went to the woods and we walked over to the van. I get in to the drivers seat, Clementine climbs in to the passenger seat, with Oscar in the back.
    "Their are a lot of weapons back here." Oscar states.
    "Yeah their are more at the hide out. Your going to like it there." I say as we start down the street, slowly pulling up to the next turn and then we're on our way.
