Infected

Chapter Four :: Penultimate

It was morning, and the car stopped. Me, Jane and Ellie got out of the car and stretched.

"I can't believe we are the only ones left." I said.

"Yeah. Let's go get this girl to that town, and let's save this world."

The car ran out of gas, leaving Shane, Ellie and Jane to walk there.

"So... how does it feel to be the cure of the world?" I asked Ellie.

"Jesus, Shane..." she replied. "It feels scary. I'm nervous."

"You should feel proud, Ellie." said Jane. "You're gonna save us all."

*FIVE DAYS LATER*

Tired and breathless, the three took a rest at a gas station.

"The lab with the people is just a few minutes away." said Jane. "Let's keep going."

"We can't get---" I said, before a gunshot was heard. Jane had been shot in the head.

"HOLY SHIT." I shouted.

Ellie began screaming. She couldn't handle this.

As Jane's dead head fell down, a figure with a gun was revealed.

It was Jalen. He was still alive. And he came back for revenge.

He ran towards me, as I tried to pull out my revolver. I got it out, but there was no bullets.

Jalen jumped on me, and started punching my face. I was fading away.

"You piece of shit!" roared Jalen.

All of a sudden, Jalen got bit by Ellie. He punched her, and ran towards her.

Even though I was breathless and fainting, I got up and choked Jalen to death. Before he died, Ellie stopped me.

"Let him suffer." she slowly said.

We handcuffed him to a post. Ellie was immune, but it didn't mean she couldn't pass on the infection. We left Jalen to turn.

Me and Ellie walked up the road and we reached the lab. We looked around for people, but we couldn't see any.

"Oh no." I whispered. "Nobody's here."

Ellie couldn't save the world now. No scientists were here.

"Shit. Now what...?" she sighed.
