"Lukas get back!!" Nour yelled and got to her feet, startling the others as they took stood up.
....
"Nǐ hái hǎo ma?" Shen asked in a raspy voice if he was okay
"Mmm, any word from Lily?" Kai asked.
"No, she not home" Shen tried to respond back in English "But I come get you"
"Really but isn't the city in chaos?" Kai questioned in a puzzled tone.
"Monsters everywhere, no where safe but home, evacuation slow, i come get you and we go were safe, home" Kai heard Shen say.
"Come with the big car, I am not alone okay?" Kai said.
"Yes, I call when I come, take care" Shen said before he cut the call.
.....
Lukas took a step back and faced Nour "What happened?" He asked puzzled, the others also looked at her puzzled at her sudden outburst.
"נэннгггhæ ccaa!!shhh"
*See, they don't trust you* it mocked
"Shut it" Alex snapped, green veins began to appear around his skin
*You humans are all the same, try all you want Alex but you will break*
"No" they all heard Alex say.
*CRACK*
Everywhere went silent when they heard a cracking sound.
*BOOOOM!!!*
A louder crash followed and resonated forcing the ground to shake under them.
"What was that?" Antoine asked.
"Ice is out" Entity let out in Kai's head.
"We have to move" Kai replied and opened the door leading back to where he left the others on to see them on alert as they faced Alex.
Another cracking sound was heard again from Alex, he went on a kneeling position while his back was still on the ground and his head faced the ceiling.
"Alex..." Antoine said nervously
*CRACK*
His bones let out more cracking sounds as his hands squeezed in on themselves.
*Kill them Alex kill them all! Hahahaha*
*CRACK*
His legs bent and took and took an abnormal turn, "Aaaahhhhh!" Alex yelled out in pain as saliva leaves from the side of his mouth.
Black liquid began to leak from his eyes and nose, dark green veins snaked his face like an artery design.
"Hello meee-"
He moaned out but paused mid sentence as another-
*Crack*
Was heard when his mouth expanded in an abnormal manner and his jaw moved to the left.
"Fuuuucckkk" Eira said as she stared at him.
"Jesus" Luella said hiding behind Melanie
"Oh God" Nour let out as she cover her face not to watch.
Melanie looked at Mika, then at Kai, Kai's eyes left Alex and moved to his bag on the floor.
Kai quickly headed for his bag and so did the other's as they removed their attention from Alex and started scrambl
"You humans, so fickle and weak" Alex let out in a loud unusual voice.
"Fickle?" Eira asked with a raised brow. Kai and Mika on the other hand began packing all the could into Kai's bag, from water bottles to snack.
Alex's body let out cracking sounds as he stood to his feet
"He... He didn't change?" Lukas asked, uncertain as to how Alex maintained his human form even though they could all see the veins on his face and blood that still dropped from his eyes and nose.
He had his head bowed as he faced them
.....
Alarms went off and the sound of rushing footsteps echoed through the halls
"What's going on?" Peter asked Waters as he raised his head from a microscope he was using to examine a cell.
Just before Waters could answer Rivera walked in, "We need both of you to come right now!" She ordered.
"What happened?" Peter asked puzzled and irritated at the same time.
"There's a wave" Rivera replied "You need to see this for yourself" she said as she turned and walked out of the room.
With much hesitation, Waters and Peter followed after her. Heavily armed soldiers rushed past them.
"Where are they going?" Waters asked.
"To the outbreak location" Rivera replied as they entered a room full of monitors, most of the people in the room had desktops in front of them and were busy answering calls.
"What is that?" Peter asked, ignoring the chaos around him and walking up to the large monitors that displayed different parts of the world.
On a particular monitor it showed people going around and biting others, but they didn't attack to kill, they simply bit and once the person they attacked started moving in an irregular manner they'd leave the person and move on to the next.
He looked at the person that was bitten, blood gushed out of where he was bitten, his arm, and his eyes and nose as well.
He looked to be in severe pain as his body began moving irregularly as though it was being reshaped from the inside. His hands and legs looked to be broken as they turned on eachother.
Even though he had an injured arm and an injury to his abdomen, on closer inspection Peter noticed his guts were even on the verge of spilling out. Peter watched as this man stood to his feet, with his arm partially bitten off and was dangling to the side, his eyes pure black.
He let out a wheezing sound as he slowly looked around. The splatters of blood on his face weren't able to hide the prominent green veins that designed his face like an unwanted facial.
He stopped when he sighted a small child hiding, while people both the sane and rabid ran around hectically.
The man, with unbelievable speed rushed for the child.
"Fuck no" Peter said in disbelief, he didn't even know when Water and Rivera stood by him.
The child was crouched down, frozen in fear, the crazed man mere inches from him was suddenly shot down and the child carried by military personnel.
"Oh thank heavens" Waters let out with a sigh as he clutched his chest.
"Zombies?" Peter asked without peering away from the screen, he watched as the soldier shot at the rabid humans and tried to rescue the others.
Some that were shot still stood and continued their uncontrolled hunt.
"They found a new way to spread" Rivera said, "you have to have come up with something? Even if we can find a cure now, you must at least know how to detect when someone is contaminated or will turn soon huh?" Rivera asked in a panicked state.
She looked at Peter who looked away, then at Waters who just turned and said nothing. Rivera quickly grabbed Peter's hand forcing him to look at her "Please" she pleaded "people are dying, please" she urged
Peter let out a sigh as he looked around at the other people that stopped what they were doing and faced them. "We are doing our best as well" Peter said as he removed her hand from his and walked away.
