One Survivor

2 'What is that thing?'

"This is Dr. Baker and Dr. Stevens; test twenty-seven, subjects illness seems to be healing from the last dosage we gave him" Dr. Baker started and looked down at the unconscious man on the metal table.

"Stevens, you getting this?" Dr. Baker asked his partner as Stevens used the camera to zoom in on how the patient was reacting to the medicine that was being pumped into his unconscious body.

"It looks like his veins are turning... turning... a dark red?" he looked up to his partner as he zoomed in on the now obvious veins that were showing more and turning red.

"He's crashing" Dr. Stevens placed the camera down on the table and started innovating, "I'm in" he told him and started pumping air into his lungs just as the monitor started flatlining.

"Shit!" Baker yelled and started performing CPR as they tried to bring him back.

Stevens stopped pumping air and picked up the camera and zooming in on the patients face, "Time of death, 20:27" he sighed and threw the Camera on the table as he rubbed his temples.

"Thought we finally did it" Baker huffed and sat back down in a chair as he slouched and folded his arms, "We've dedicated ten years to finding a cure for it all, but it just keeps going wrong... maybe we should just give up" he huffed.

"No, we can't. It worked for a minute though, didn't it? We just double what we give" Stevens stood up and started to remove all medical equipment from the body.

Just as he did so, he noticed the patients chest rise and his eyes widened, "He's alive! We did it!" he turned to his friend and smiled before turning back to his patient. The man's eyes shot open as he roared and screeched, he grabbed Stevens' wrist and pulled him down as he began chewing on his neck. Stevens stumbled back and held in the blood form his neck, Baker stared in shock just as the patient sat up on the table and chased Baker round the room, tackling him to the ground and sinking his teeth into his chest.

Baker yelled in horror as he stared at the man eating him alive as it looked up to him, his face was pale, his eyes were completely black, dark red veins popped up on his skin as thick blood poured out of his mouth. He growled at Baker before turning back to his work and finishing the job just as Stevens began to gag and groan in pain when the creature attacked him as well.

Ava sat up in her bed gasping and yelling as she turned on the light and breathed heavily, her mother ran into the room and sat on her side of the bed, trying to calm her daughter while handing her a glass of water as she gently rubbed her back in comfort.

"Sh... It's okay. You're okay" she shushed as Ava took a sip of water.

She calmed down and placed the glass on her bedside table, she faced her mom as she wiped the tears off her daughters cheeks, "What was it about?" she asked her.

"Nothing, I'm fine" she coughed and took another sip of water.

"You know you can tell me anything, I'm here and I just want you to feel safe" she pleaded with her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm tired. You can go back to bed" she reassured her mother.

Her mom was tempted to plead with her but knew she would lose, "Night baby" she kissed her forehead before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

Ava waited until she heard her mom's bedroom door close before pulling out her diary and grabbing a pen form her draw.

It's getting worse.

Its like last time, the two men in a doctor or surgeons  in uniform, they gave the man on the table the same drug, but they gave him more this time.
