The Virus Within (Original rough draft) by CrystalScherer

Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved.

Proxies X Fem Reader ~~~ Oh blood, oh blood Why must you bleed? Oh blood, oh blood Why must I feast? Oh blood, oh blood, Why can I never find an never ending course..? Zalgo, he is my operator. I am his proxy. Though I hate being controlled, I can't help but listen. I owe him. I'd much rather have to hunt for my food than have him hand it to me every time he gets what he wants. I don't want to be his proxy, I despise it. I even despise the feuds he has with Slender Man and his brothers as there is no point to them. No point in having me fight them. Such a waste of time. Such a waste of my hunger. That is till one day, during a lock down from another one of Zalgos feuds with Slender, something strange happened.

[SEE MY PROFILE FOR DETAILS!!] "THIS IS ALL SO TWO SIDED!! WHEN WILL YOU JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD?!" "A lot of things from the past will come to haunt you, mentally, physically, or literally. In our case, it's all three. I have never wanted to kill someone, I'm not some psychopath. I might've done well in high-school chemistry, but I don't think I learned that a crystal plus a human equals being possessed. It's all out of my control, and it's terrifying. My teeth and fingers become sharp, my eyes become black and sticky, four nasty tentacles burst out from my back, and a gash in my chest becomes a second mouth with razor-sharp teeth. I just want it all back to normal-" -Socks A. ______________________________________ !!WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS!!

Author's Note by ProbablyWaffles

Lucy Calderwood writes books. She loves reading, she loves writing, she loves fiction more than reality. Getting lost in books is what she does best. Though when she's asked to write a novel for her college course, such a thing happens literally. At night, when she goes to sleep, she wakes in the world of her own creation - in the book that she herself is writing, thus resulting in adventures she thought impossible, friendships she thought unreasonable, and an emotional rollercoaster she doesn't know how to deal with. To survive, she must fight. Fight what the world has become, fight what she has made, fight furious beasts of incredible sizes, alongside Thomas, Keith, and Katherine, all three being her own book characters. And if she's hurt, injured in her book, then it happens in reality. But what if she were to die?
