Chapter 19

"No way it's not a sickness or infection it's a living being" I said to myself in shock. "What" Jarred said and I turned around to see Jarred Standing in the doorway.

"the infection it's not an infection like we originally thought, its a living being like some sort of micro bug working together in a group, it surrounds the blood cells and attacks it like a pack of wolves attacking it's pray" I said walking over to him. "it basically eats the person inside out and takes over its body like a type of parasite then spreads it to more people creating..." I said "the zombie apocalypse" he interrupted.

"can you stop it" he asked "I'm not sure" I said sitting down "at most with more samples I might be able to create a cure for people before they officially turn" I continued. "how are my group?" I asked "so far it looks like the sickness has stopped spreading only about 15 of the 30 who got it died" he said "that's half" I replied "yeah" he said "you should probably get some rest" he said walking towards me "I'm fine I don't need it" I replied "you've been up for 3 days straight" he said and I gave him a weird look.

"no I haven't" I said confused "yeah and I don't think you've eaten either" he said pointing to all the food that was put here for me. "oh" I said "time really flies by" I replied "come on I'll take you to you're room" he said leading me out of the lab to my room. "just rest for a bit you may not think you need it but it's important trust me" he said with a slight smile then closed the door.

I laid down on the twin size be 'i have to hurry back to my group' I thought to myself 'but how long will it take to make the cure' I continued my thought ' there's no possible way I'll be able to make a full blown cure the only solution would be to find something to not only kill the micro bugs but also speed up the healing of the damage done by them' I thought as I just stared at the ceiling.

"if these bugs are originally from space then that means they are able to survive at, at least -455 degrees Fahrenheit, which means I need to either find something so cold it permanently freezes them or something so hot it just melts the bugs but keeps the person from harm" I said to myself.

'considering a person's body can only tolerate a temperature of only 140° degree for up to 5 seconds without being burned I would need to start testing on these bugs to see how much they can tolerate' I thought to my self as I turned on my side and closed my eyes.

Sam's POV

"We want to talk to Mel it's been 3 days" I said poking a soldier in the chest "ma'am it would be best if you backed away" he said glaring at me "Fuck you" I said turning around and walking away. "Sam you have to calm down I'm sure the little bitch is fine" my brother Jason said crossing his arms.

"stop it Jay she's never done anything to you and weather you like It or not she's still one of us" I snapped at him Annoyed. "their not going to say or do anything until they have what she is capable of making" Xavier said walking over to us. "and what exactly is that it's not like a cure is actually possible there dead" I replied.

"who knows" he said "but apparently they think she can do something" he said glaring at the soldiers behind me.

"hello all" a familiar voice said entering the church "your Mel's cousin where is she" I said storming over to him "easy short stuff my dear little cousin is fine and because of her all of you are to" he said glaring down at me. "I thought I'd just give you all a progress update on what our favorite Amelia has been up to the last 3 days" he said confidently.

"well..." I said slightly annoyed "she has discovered the relative cause of the infection" he said and all I heard was everyone gasp in shock. "well what is it" will said after a few moments of silence.

"I'm afraid that's confidential" he said with a smirk "you ass" I said angrily about to punch him but was stopped by Xavier "what are you..." I said "Jarred Michaels may care about Mel but he won't for a second hesitate to tell her you became infected and got killed" Xavier said letting go of my arm.

"Seriously?" I said looking back at Jarred with a smirk on his face "the only one who who can control him is the only person not here" Xavier replied.

"well now that, that's done Mel needs more samples from both normal people and gifted" Jarred said holding up a big black case. "there are unfortunately not many gifted among us it was only Mel and Mark" I said through gritted teeth.

"that's fine" he said putting the case down and opening it "go get the samples from any infected outside and any sick inside" he said turning to his men "let's go everyone line up" he said with a smirk as he prepared the needle.

AMELIA'S POV

"Mel are you ready" I heard Jarred say as he opened the door to the room I was staying in "the faster I get this done the faster I go back to my group" I said walking past him.

we got to the lab I saw a bunch of large black cases everywhere "I'm assuming these are the samples" I said turning to him.

"yup everything is labeled from normal people to gifted all the way to the infected" he said leaning against the doorway of the lab.

"so it seems" I said walking over into the room "it's time to officially get to work" I said with a slight smirk.
