Survive

Chapter 12 infected?

I woke up in a white room. "Am I alive?" And then there was a banging on the door. I got out of the bed and searched for a weapon. I found a knife under the bed. I turned the handle of the door, and a giant infected burst through, hit me against the wall and then ran out. A moment later, several infected ran into the room and went straight for me, ripping chunks of flesh from my body and biting my torso. I could feel the worms slowly making there way to my heart. There was blood spraying into my eyes and mouth. I was drowning in my own blood. I felt the worms reach my heart and everything went black. I woke up covered in sweat. A man was standing over me reaching for my chest. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" And then the door kicked in and Izaiah ran in. "We saw the flares and came as fast as we.... WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU ADAM!" Izaiah ran after the man above me, punching him. And then a voice yelled out. "Hey who are you get away from him!" "Your the one who messed up my buddy and just kept him here, everyone, get in here, they got Adam!" Everybody else ran in, guns raised. "Okay...okay...okay, we weren't trying to hurt him, we were trying to help. A bear attacked him and scratched him pretty bad so we patched him up." "Alright then. I think we got off on the wrong, Im Izaiah, Im guessing you know Adam already, thats ash, these two are Kaleb and Alex, and this is Pvt." "And Im Austin." "Im Devon and that guy over there is Conner." "Why ain't he coming out from the dark." Conners voice sounded raspy and dry." Because you guys wouldn't like to see me, you guys might be kinda freaked out. "No matter what it is, we can handle it." "Okay, you asked for it." He walked out from the shadows. The left side of his face had deformed features and sharp hard armored bones sticking out from his head. One of his eyes was pure black and his hand was clawed and dangerous looking. "HE'S INFECTED!" Austin pulled a gun on him. "No, its not what you think, he was bitten a month ago!" "Thats impossible, the infection spreads within minutes." Pvt. Walked up to him. "Hold on, give me a few minutes with him, I think he can help with the cure." "Are you serious?. You can do that?" "I might be able to put something together, but we need to get to the base in Minnesota." "If it means we can get rid of this crap Im in, even if it kills me." "Well, we shouldn't need to kill you, if we can get some of your blood, we should be able to duplicate the cure after we make it." "Hey, does nobody even care about the freaking velociraptor claw on his hand!" "Shut up Austin!" "Its fine, lets just get out of here." I stood up and automatically fell to the ground. Devon yelled out." Guys, we need to wait for Adam to heal." "But that could take weeks! I say we just put a bullet in his head right now. All he would be is dead weight, and when he does die he could turn and kill all of us!" "Austin, it would be impossible for him to turn because there wouldn't be any worms to get to his heart. And why would you just end it now, Adam is our friend, is your friend." "Yes, he is my friend. And yes he could become infected." "How?" "On the way here, I had been seeing a lot of those worms going into like a cocoon. And I also saw some flying bugs buzzing around near the cocoons so I think they've evolved." "Alright, I believe you, but we cant just kill him." "Okay, we wont, but we should leave him." "No we cant leave him!" "We cant let him kill us either!" Devon ran over and handcuffed me to the bed. "Why did you do that. And why do you have handcuffs!" "We got attacked by this infected cop and after we killed it, we took all of his stuff. That was also the same infected that bit me." "That doesn't matter right now, just un cuff him now!" "I cant, I don't have the keys." And then we heard screaming and running through the halls of the building. Conner tossed me my bag and yelled. "Guys lets get out of here, we can leave the keys and some supplies to survive until Adam better and when he's healthy, he can meet up with us." "No, don't you leave me here!" "Im sorry Adam, we have to. Don't worry, we'll lock the door behind us." And then Izaiah kicked the pipe that I was handcuffed too and they all ran out of the room, locking it like they said, and then some keys slipped from under door. "GET BACK HERE NOW! DONT YOU LEAVE ME!" I was banging on the door and then I heard banging on the other side. I moved the bed in front of the door, grabbed a gun, sat back in a corner, and cried myself to sleep.
