The Whole Nine Bites
Prolouge-The Deep Blue Blues
Graverly Hospital
A sudden red light shone through the grime coated glass door as two shadowy figures where outlined by the ghostly moon light
"How long dose it take to pick a damn door" The taller and more muscled of the two men asked quietly to his companion who was picking the lock on the hospitals double doors
He was a tall man with dark skin he was well muscled and trimmed and had the look of a weight lifter he had short cut brow hair deep blue eyes and thin lips and a crooked nose that had clearly been broken before, he wore a faded blue t-shirt splattered with white paint and plaster and a pair of equally faded black trousers and worn running shoes he was carrying an automatic Scar assult rifle with attached torch.
The second man stood up and looked at his companion with a smile
"Look Avery if you wanna smash the glass alert everything in the building thats fine but I don't wanna get eaten at this moment so shut up " the man replied.
He was tall but shorter than Avery he was also thin,with thick matted black hair that hung loosely around his face through which you could see a pair of odd eyes one blue and the other grey he had thin lips and a small rounded nose, He wore a posh waistcoat and equally fancy black suit pants he also had a pure black trilby set back on his black matted hair
"Well Lucent thats the best idea you have had today" Avery laughed as he used the but of his gun to smash open the glass and as he reached inside to open the door both men could hear running footsteps as five or six tall thin pasty faced individuals each coated in blood ran towards them and as they drew near Avery slammed the door open into the face of one of them causing it to fall back blood pouring from its nose and a shard of glass that had embeded itself into the creatures left eye socket and as this creature hit the floor avery pulled the trigger of his gun the autimatic fire chewing up the chest of the first who fell back with a gutteral scream and tore the arm clean off a second and as the three continued Lucent picked up his gun that he had put down to unlock the door it was a pump action shotgun which he pumped before sending the slug into the upper reaches of one of their attackers skulls completly destroying the whole upper right side of the things skull and causing razor sharp bone shards to lacerate the seconds face and as it stopped clutching at its face Lucent slammed the gun down upon its head and as he turned he saw the final one was upon him but before he could pull up his gun a final shot rang out and the one armed creature dropped and Lucent saw Avery holding a smoking barreld pistol and a grin
"Nice one " Lucent remarked as he prodded the fallen creature with his foot
"Yeah the infected are getting more and dangerous as time goes on" Avery said as he reloaded his gun and walked over to the counter where a woman lay slumped over the desk sevral wounds on her upper back and neck told the grusome tail of he final moments and as Avery pushed her off the desk onto the floor the part of Lucent's mind that once would have objected lay undisturbed as he had accepted that he would have to do things that he wasn't proud of in this new infected world.
"Hey this 'ere says there are some med supplies in the vaccination clinic" Avery stated as he held out a map to Lucent who took it and scanned it quickly
" A'right while I get the med's you try to get some power " Lucent said as he turned and began to walk towards a door that when he tried the handel was locked
" "Ere " Avery shouted as he tossed a blood stained set of keys to Lucent " There was a spare set"
Lucent caught the keys and unloced the door and slowly proceded up the stairs but as his flashlight reflected on a mirror at the end of the hall Lucent gasped as he saw not himself reflected but somthing with pale white skin and long blood stained claws and as he turned expecting to see it he found nothing and when he turned back to the mirror he just saw his own reflection Lucent stopped and mentally shook himself he was suffering from stress and lack of sleep he had just imagined it but as he moved forward he was more careful and when he reached the vaccination clinic he stopped rooted with fear as he looked at the door behind which he could hear faint crying
"Shit" He wispered to himself as he gently turned the door and pushed it open to reveal a girl sitting on the bed her pale skin and sharp claws instantly confirming his fears that she was one of them but he hoped as he saw the med packs on a table on the otherside of the clinic and as he walked up to them somthing caught his eye it was a small guilded picture frame and as he picked it up his heart missed a beat as he shone his torch onto the picture he could see himself and the people he had thourght the world had forgot his band mates and as he scratched the grime from the glass he read somthing that he had written a good three years ago "To Rika hope you enjoyed the show signed The Deep Blue blues" He smiled as he gently pocketed the photo he thourght the women this Rika had lost but all of his remembrance cost him as as the guilded frame hit the bottem of his pockets the lights suddenly clicked into life and then all Lucent could hear was the screaming of two people the infected women who had covered the gap between them in a second and his own as her Claw buried itself into his right side but as soon as it had happened it was over and he fell to his knee's clutching his side as he fell onto his back looking into the infected girls face where he throrght he saw remorse but then she ran for it as he heared footsteps on the metal stairs and the sound of gunshots
"Get the fuck away from him bitch" Avery yelled as he fired at her as she ran and he flung himself through the open door and ran to his fallen mortally wounded friend "Fuck me man your fucked pretty bad " he continued as he tore off Lucent's waist coat and stared at the deep wound
"looks like this was the last member of The Deep Blue Blue's last show huh" Lucent joked as he face whitened and he grimaced in pain and he reached into his pocket and pulled out the photo "Take this remember me man"
"Shit Lucent I 'nit leavin ya'll here "Avery said as he pulled Lucent to his feet
"Fuck man don't bother this time I really am going to the pain forged gates of heaven in hell huh" Lucent smiles as he was pulled up by Avery" Just leave me on the bed and go I ain't woth it"
Avery sniffed as he laid Lucent on the bed and stood up " Imma miss ya man" Avery wispered
"Same here " Lucent laughed as he lay still on the bed and watched Avery pickup the med's and walk towards the door and with one final gesture of farewell and his eyes full of tears Avery walked from the room and his last friend
Lucent looked out the window at the starry sky as he began to sing the lines of one of his bands songs "The stars go out on a sun filled dawn the pain has gone used all at last on the pain forged gates to heaven my last memoirs are singing to me as I walk through the gate into the lands of love not hate " And with a final breath his eyes closed and his breath stopped as Lucent slipped into what he thourght would be his final sleep
