Hey, everyone! This is my newest story! I'm just really getting into Left 4 Dead 2, lately, and I wanted to make this cause I like the Special Infected. XD Either way, I made an OC Special Infected. :D I'm accepting up to four other OCs, so if you want to submit yours put the description in the comments, or PM me with it. The chart for the description can be found after the chapter. ^^ Anyway, enjoy! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2 in any way shape or form whatsoever. The only thing I own is the plot of this story and my OC.

…...

It was a warm afternoon, and Hunter was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, looking for any survivors that might be wandering around. He knew that he probably wouldn't find anyone, since most of the survivors had all either been infected or torn to shreds by now, but still, he had nothing better to do. It was what Smoker and Boomer were doing, anyway, and Hunter knew that once they were set on doing something, he couldn't change their mind. So, he went with the mindset: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. So, that was how he had come to be hopping around the buildings, which in itself was fairly entertaining anyway. He stopped on the corner of a rooftop to sniff around a bit. Maybe he would be able to smell if there was a survivor around…

"Hm?" he noticed something different. There was a new scent wafting through the air. One he had never smelled before. "Maybe there IS a survivor around!" He grinned, hoping that he would get a chance to tear some guts out, then jumped down into the alleyway below where he had smelled the scent coming from. He paused, down on all fours, looking at the figure that was further down the alley. Whoever they were, they were just sitting there on the ground.

Is it another Infected? he thought. I mean, you'd think that the survivors would be more careful about where they sit… He approached carefully, not wanting to get himself into a mess he couldn't get out of. He sniffed the air again. Maybe he could tell who this was if he just tried really hard…He continued to approach, very slowly, sniffing as he went. He carefully reached out a hand, about to touch this new being that had appeared when suddenly it burst out laughing. Hunter pulled back quickly, growling in surprise.

"Wh-Wh-ahahahahaha! Why are you sniffing me?" the girl turned around to face him. Hunter could tell that she was an Infected. Her hair was partially covering her eyes, but he could still seem them glowing through her bangs. Not only that, but she had deathly pale skin, just like himself, and she was spattered with blood. Other than that, she looked almost human…just like he did. Still, she wasn't like the Common Infected, she was just…different somehow. He couldn't quite figure out what it was, though. He took notice of the gray hoodie jacket she was wearing, and so he decided that he wouldn't be ripping out any guts today. This girl had at least a good sense in fashion. Still, he had to be careful.

"Are you some kind of girl Jockey?" he asked, backing up and watching her warily. He did NOT want to wrapped up with one of those face humping freaks.

"J-Jockey?" she asked, seeming unable to stop laughing for some reason. "No way! I would never-ehehehehe-want to be one of those humping weirdos! Ahahahaha!" Hunter was a bit surprised. Finally! Someone who agreed with him!

"So…if you're not a Jockey, then what are you?" he asked, risking taking a step closer.

"T-T-ahahahahahaha!" she broke out into laughing again, and Hunter waited, somewhat impatiently for her to finish. "I'm a Taunter-ehehehe…"

"Taunter? So, you…taunt things? By laughing at them?" Hunter asked. He had never seen this kind of Special Infected before. Sure, he had seen a lot of Hunters, Smokers, Boomers, Tanks, Witches, and all those guys, but Taunter? Never heard of 'em.

"Y-Yeah, sorry," she said, trying to suppress laughs as she spoke. "You see, I can't stop laughing at all! Funny, huh?"

"I guess it is," Hunter said slowly as Taunter broke out into laughter again. "Uhh…so, where did you come from, anyway? I've never seen you around here before."

"W-eheehehe…We came from the next town over," Taunter told him. "Chasing some-ehehe…survivors…"

"There are survivors here?" Hunter asked in surprise. "We haven't seen any in more than two weeks! Are you saying that you chased some survivors into this city?"

"Uh-huh," Taunter nodded, breaking out into a grin.

"YES!" he shouted, unable to contain his excitement over this new discovery. "We get to go after survivors again! Just wait 'til I tell everybody else!"

"Everyone else?" Taunter asked him, clearing her throat as she tried to stop laughing. "Who's that?" Hunter paused, wondering whether or not he should bring this girl back to meet his group. They had been together for a while now, always working together to try to get the survivors that passed through. Each of them was a different kind of Special Infected, and they tried to play on each other's strengths. Since they had all been together for so long, though, he wasn't sure if he could just bring this girl back to meet them.

"Hey, you," Hunter said, coming a bit closer. "Do you like killing survivors?"

"Huh? Sure, of course!" she replied, laughing at the end. "I mean, who DOESN'T love killing survivors?"

"Do you have any skills? Er, besides laughing your face off?" Hunter asked.

"Well, I can a-ahahahaha! I can alert the horde by laughing, I guess," she answered.

"Anything else?"

"Well, I don't know," she shrugged, giggling in a bit of a creepy way. "I mean, the stupid Common Infected always bunched up so much that I never really got to fight. Though I guess I'd make a good distraction." She broke out into another smile. "What can YOU do?"

"I…uh…jump on stuff…I guess," he replied slowly.

"…Ahahahahaha!" she began laughing again, and he seemed a bit insulted, trying to figure out whether she was laughing at him or just because she couldn't help it. "Isn't that just like a Jockey?"

"Ugh, no way!" Hunter said quickly. "I'm NOT like a Jockey! I can jump really far and I can pull people's freaking guts out with my bare hands! I don't hump their faces like those Jockey freaks!"

"Good, good," Taunter said, her laughing calming down a bit. "Don't worry, I probably won't laugh as much now. It's more of a defense mechanism."

"How does laughing defend you at all?" Hunter asked her bluntly.

"I…have no idea," she said, this time laughing for real. "So, what were you talking about when you said that you had to tell everyone else?"

"Well, there's a few others who are basically my friends," Hunter shrugged. "I guess. I mean, we hang out and stuff and team up on survivors." He then realized something. "Oh. Hey. You said that you chased some survivors into town, but you said that 'we' chased them in. Who's 'we' besides you?"

"I guess that I have some people who are sorta my friends," she smirked, imitating what he had previously said. "They came too. But we got separated when a huge horde came after some Boomer barf lying in the middle of the road."

"So…do you want to come back to our place?" Hunter asked, starting to trust Taunter. She seemed pretty cool.

"Where is it?" Taunter asked.

"Across town," Hunter replied. "And you'll have to come across the rooftops with me if you don't want to be trampled by the random hordes running around."

"Okay, I guess I'll try," Taunter stood up and started to follow him, seeming to have a bit of a limp when she walked. Hunter took a step back in preparation, then launched himself up to the roof without any difficulty.

"Alright, come on," he called down to her. She looked up at him dully.

"I can't jump that high, smart one!" she called up to him. Hunter sighed in exasperation, realizing that she was right.

"Use the fire escape, then," he said, waiting at the edge of the roof for her. She looked around, found the ladder for the fire escape, then managed to pull herself up with a little difficulty. She climbed up the stairs, seeming a bit irritated.

"Next time, you're carrying me, hoodie boy!" she shouted up to him in a somewhat joking voice.

"The name's Hunter," he replied to her. Finally, she reached the rooftop, and he tried to be patient as they crossed over to the other edge.

"Okay, now, you just jump, like this!" he ran forward, then jumped off the roof, landing on the next one with perfect accuracy.

"I can't do that!" Taunter shouted after him incredulously. "Sure, I can run pretty fast if I try, but I can't do crazy jumps like you!" Hunter rolled his eyes, though he knew that she wouldn't see it because of the shadow created by his hoodie. He jumped back over to the rooftop where she stood, and tried to think of what to do.

"Fine, I'll carry you," he said after a while, seeming a bit embarrassed that he had to do this. "But I'm not as good at jumping when I've only got two legs." Before she could object, he scooped her up, jumping off the roof and hoping with all his might that he would be able to make it to the next one. They touched down onto the next roof, and Hunter continued at a sprint, launching off to the next one.

"We're so high up!" Taunter had started her laughing again. "Oh, geez!"

"Are you scared of heights?" he asked as he ran across the third roof.

"Y-Yes!" she answered, unable to stop laughing once again.

"Great," he said sarcastically, a small smile flitting across his face as he jumped to the fourth roof. "This is going to be a loooong day…"

…...

So, how did you guys like it? Good? Bad? I sure hope that it's good. o_o; Anyway, I'd be glad to accept Infected OCs from you guys! I'll be accepting four other OCs, no more than that. First come, first served, so I'm sorry if you don't get in! D: There are just a few rules. First, they have to be a Special Infected. No boring Common Infected. :P Next, they have to be a kind of Special Infected that you made up on your own. No stealing ideas from anyone. If you're thinking forever and still can't come up with anything, I GUESS that it's okay if you have an already existing Special Infected for your character. Just please try your hardest to come up with your own, first! Third, I WILL allow pairings, but not with already taken characters! Such as the fact that I've already taken Hunter since he's just full of awesome sauce. :P Survivors WOULD be okay with pairings, but this story is in the Left 4 Dead 2 world, so Francis, Zoey, Louis, and Bill aren't here. :o Here's the OC sheet, either PM it to me filled out or put it in a comment filled out:

Name:

Appearance:

Age (as in, how old they look):

Personality (I need a really detailed description here! Please include fears, tendencies, everything!):

Special Abilities/Traits (include not only what they can do, but also how they attack the survivors):

Past (as in, an explanation from their past as to why they became the kind of Infected that they did):

Likes:

Dislikes:

Crush (only if you want one):

Any other extra info about them:

If you need an example, here's one for my character, filled out already.

Name: Taunter

Appearance: Short-ish brown hair, bangs partially covering glowing gray eyes. Pale skin, bloodstains, all that other zombie stuff. Wears the slightly ripped up and worn out remains of denim jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a gray hoodie jacket that zips up the front.

Age: 17

Personality: Fairly friendly, and really gets along with people she knows well. She doesn't trust strangers very much, but warms up to people quickly. Uses sarcasm. A LOT. Can be a bit dense sometimes. Laughing, laughing, LOTS and lots of laughing. She's scared of heights and flaming Infected puke. Or pretty much anything that's on fire. Has a pretty upbeat attitude most of the time, but can be serious when she needs to be. Though she'll probably just end up laughing again…

Special Abilities/Traits: She has a defense mechanism that forces her to laugh whenever she feels like she's in danger. Once she feels more comfortable and safe, the laughing will calm down. She's a fast runner, but will usually walk everywhere because she's lazy. :P She's a fast runner, but isn't able to jump as well as the Hunter, usually resulting in her crashing into walls when Hunter wants her to jump up somewhere. She has a fairly good sense of smell, but once again, not nearly as good as Hunter. She at the moment doesn't have much experience fighting the survivors, but is able to call the horde over by laughing really loud. ._.

Past: Taunter, before she was infected, was the kind of person who would always laugh at people whenever anything bad happened to them. Thus, she is cursed with having to laugh whenever she's in danger. ._.

Likes: Her friends, creeping out survivors with crazy laughing, calling the horde on survivors, playing pranks on people, trying out new things, NOT going up into high places, and trying to find new ways to have fun, among other things.

Dislikes: Fire, heights, the smoke that constantly hangs around Smoker, the survivors shooting at her (well, duh), extreme boredom, the Common Infected, being near Boomer when he pukes, and a few other things as well.

Crush: Hunter :D (cause he's full of awesome sauce)

Extra Info: Even though she doesn't try to, she gets herself into trouble a lot. She also has trouble sneaking around when there are survivors nearby because she'll always end up laughing anyway.

So, send in your OCs if you're interested! I'm excited to see where this story will go! X3
