The Infected

Chapter 2

 Rose's P.O.V

"Did you hear that?" I asked Jacob looking were the sound came from.

"you mean that super loud obnoxious scream? No didn't hear a thing" He said sarcastically.

"Well, I'm sorry Jacob It could have been the demons screaming in my head ok?" I snapped back. I looked back into the direction where it came from and thought for a moment.

Should I help them? It's been a while since I have seen a human that didn't want to kill me...

I thought I started pacing back and forth thinking the pros and cons of the situation.

"Rose, what are you doing?" Jacob asked after a few minutes.

"Thinking," I said still paceing.

"About?" he said wanting me to continue

"I think we should go see what that scream was," I said seriously.

"What?! Are you crazy if we heard it from this far the infected would have too. Meaning they'd be swarming that area." Jacob said in an angered tone.

"Well too bad were just going to check it out," I said running across rooftops in the direction the sound came from. Jacob sighed loudly and followed. We saw a circle of the infected surrounding two boys. One looked older around my age and one looked younger they were tied up with The Ugly Rat in front of them. Ugly Rat is what I nicknamed the man who leads the army of infected. He kidnaps children or kills them on the spot. I have no idea what their true motive is but they want all of the children that survived the infection, dead. We huddle down under a wall and listen to what they're saying.

"I will say this again." He said close to the taller boys face. "We're. Is. Your. Base?" He said hitting the boy in the face in between each word.

"And I will repeat what I said. Why would I tell a horrible man like you?" He said spitting in The Ugly Rat's face. I duck down and I start talking to Jacob in sign language. When I found out that the infected can hear amazingly well I started to learn sign language so we can talk without them hearing us.

(In sign language)

"We should help them," I tell him

"What it with you today? We could get killed," he said flailing his arms around and giving me an angered look.

"Do you want to flip on it?" I said. When I want to do something and he doesn't we flip on it but the coin makes him do it. If it lands on heads he has to do it or the coin will punish him, but if it lands on tails he doesn't have to.

"Fine," he says rolling his eyes. I flip the coin and pray to Castiel its heads. I catch it and place it on top of my other hand. I look at it. Heads. I pretend to laugh in his face and claim my victory.

"Come on," I tell him making my way down.

(Not in sign language)

I jump down and the group still doesn't notice our presence. Jacob throws me my metal bat and I ketch it in one hand.

"Yo dickbags, miss me?" I say as they all turn around.

"Rose seems we meet again." Says The Ugly Rat.

"I guess so, well let's get down to business. I'm going to need those lovely two gentlemen you have tied up there." I said resting the bat on my shoulder.

"And why would I do that?" He said with a smirk.

"Well then there'd be no issue, see you can hand them over the easy way or you don't and we take them the hard way, or as I like to call it the fun way," Said as I slam my bat into my hand making a smacking sound.

"Men get them!" The Ugly Rat says pointing to us.

"Ok then, you asked for it," I said as the infected charge at us. I take my bat at start swinging at their heads left and right. One comes up behind me and I kick their leg hard and punch them in the face. He's on his knees and I swing my bat and it makes him fall over. I keep fighting through the infected distracting them while Jacob sneaks around them to untie the guys. I hear him whistle which means time to run.

"this was fun but I gotta split," I say booking it to Jacob we start running to the ladder to get into the roof. I rush them to hurt up. We make it to the top of the roof and I tell the boys to follow me. Four roofs later and I tell them to crouch down here so we can catch our breath.

"Well, that was fun let's get you two cleaned up." We walk to my base and enter through the window.

"Hey, big guy here wash your face so I can treat the bruises on your face," I say handing him a bucket of water. "You too little guy," I say to the shorter boy. I start grabbing supplies to clean them up.

"Thank you for saving me and my little brother. You really didn't have to do that." He says from behind me.

"No proble-" I turn around and see his face more clearly now. It was so dirty I didn't recognize it. Now that I hear his up close I remember it too. I drop my stuff when I realize whos in front of me.

"Gene?"
