T for blood and gore (later on)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything of Deltora or related in this story.

Lief woke with a jolt in his bedchamber. He breathed heavily, sweat trickling down his cheek. It was a horrible nightmare, where everyone in the world was dead. He shook it off and peeked at his alarm clock. It was 2:00 in the morning, so he tried to go back to sleep.

But suddenly, there was a scratching at the door. Lief jumped up, and grabbed a sword. A gun wouldn't work in a close range situation. He crept to the door, and reached for the lock. He yanked open the door, and Doom was standing there with a surprised look on his face.

"Lief!" he said.

"Doom!" Lief responded. "Thank goodness!"

"Who did you think I was?"

"I don't know."

"Come on, there is an emergency in the detention block."

"What? A prison break?" Lief asked, surprised.

"No. Worse." Doom said.

"What?"

"An infection."

Lief grabbed a coat and ran with Doom down the hall. Lief grabbed an M4A1 from a gun rack. They ran past a patrolling guard, who looked at them with weird, gray eyes. Lief and Doom ran through a door, and it locked behind them.

Then he revealed himself. And he was human, yet not human. He roared, black saliva dripping from his mouth. He ran to the door, and scratched on it, trying to open it.

Meanwhile, Lief and Doom ran to the prisoner, who was moaning and reaching through the bars, trying to attack them.

"Jamison, calm down!" Doom yelled.

He only roared and spat black saliva in Doom's face.

"Sir, we don't know what he has." a medic said. "He attacked one of the guards and bit him, but he was fine."

The medic pointed to a pool of blood, which was slowly turning black.

"Shoot him," Doom said. "We can't risk him spreading it. Check that guard, too."

"Yes sir!"

The medic ran back to a door, and it auto-locked behind him.

"It must be something from the Shadow Lord," Lief said. "That is the only suggestion I have."

"I think you are wrong, Lief." he reached to his gun holster, and pulled out his AK-47. He aimed at the prisoner's heart, and fired.

The man didn't fall. He didn't die. He just roared, and tore through the bars.

Well, that's my first chapter! About 1 ½ pages long! Well, it gets longer anyways. Please R&R, and this is my first fanfic! Chapter 2 will be up soon!
