Infinity In Death's Eyes

Plague

The next day was just as interesting. Plague insisted on following me wherever I went even though there was no pets aloud in school and I tried desperately to get her to stay outside but she wouldn't listen.
Whenever a kid passed me and I was talking to Plague they would look at me like I was a lunatic. I was talking to a cat but hadn't everyone spoken to an animal at some point in their life? She ended up coming with me but what I mainly noticed is actually the lack of notice. No one gave one glance to Plague. Nothing, they didn't even seem to notice when she brushed against there leg. Teachers walked by and didn't say anything. Also along the way as the cat passed the class clown of math class he got into a coughing fit and had to go to the nurse.
I quickly made my way to my locker in the midst of these events and grabbed my books to go to class. The cat followed me there too. Over the course of the day it followed me everywhere. More importantly, in every class at least one kid would get into some kind of sickly coughing, sneezing, breathing attack of some kind, and would be sent to the nurse to later be seen packing there stuff to go to their homes looking sickly pale and coughing every couple of seconds. It seemed to be spreading like a monster killing its way around a town. At the end of the day I was glad to get away from everyone and the weird phenomenon.
Of course at that time I had no idea what was going on, that the only monster there was the future of my life, and of course I had no idea that I couldn't exactly use the term life, because life has an end.
Unfortunately these 'phenomenons' happened for the next three days affecting not only kids but teachers and people on the street, each day more and more people surrendered to this sickness and it was spreading like wildfire. After a week the school called out having more than half of the children and staff in the hospital. I sat on the floor of my room and looked at the cat. It seemed satisfied and happy. This was more than odd. The next day the news leaked out that the sickness had then taken the lives of several victims and has been declared a plague. I layed on the floor talking absentmindedly when I saw Plague once more. She limped over to me and licked my face. Her tongue was scratchy and dry but I knew that I wouldn't get sick. I don't know how I knew but I knew. The day after that, Plague was gone.
