*PoM** The Infection Redux
Prologue
Marlene slowly woke from her slumber in the penguin's HQ which was messy and filled with food supplies, bedrolls and other vital items. The Asian otter yawned and rubbed her crusted eyes as she looked around the HQ and saw that it was pitch black, except red glow of several lights that gave the HQ a very eerie look. She gasped and turned to look across the room as she heard shuffling of feet somewhere in the the darkness of the HQ, her eyes adjust to the darkness and spots a figure that looked like a lemur.
" J..Julien? "
Marlene said to the figure that slowly moved toward her, it didn't answer back and just continued to move toward her. As the figure passed though one of the red lights she saw that was Julien but the lemurs movement was slow and slouched with a slight limp and the lemurs arms hung limply on his sides. As the lemur Slouched though an other red pool of the eerie red light, what she saw horrified her..
Juilen's eyes were glazed over and dead, his pointed muzzle was caked with dried blood, the lemur was filthy and his fur was matted with dry blood. Merlene saw that Julien also had a horrific gaping wound on his neck which crawled with maggots, he let out a loud howling moan and reached toward her with both of his dead bloody paws. The Asian otter backed up as Julien slouched and limped toward her, the otter was soon backed up to a wall and she puts her arm over her head and screamed as those cold bloody paws gripped her and pulled her toward bloody broken teeth..
Marlene quickly sat up and gasped for air, she looked around the room and sees Julien curled up a bedroll with Mort, Maurice. The newcomer Dakarai and the others. it was a horrible nightmare, the otter feels her eyes welt up and she begins to sob lightly into her paws. She had been having these horrifying nightmares ever since the infection hit the big apple, sometimes it was the penguins, the newcomer or the others but the one that hurt and scared her more were the ones of juilen.
They have been lucky so far but she and some of the other animals have been losing hope of being saved from their prison that was once their home. They haven't been able to contact anyone in the past month, they were alone. She wiped her teary eyes with her paws and curled up to Julien and other lemurs and closed her eyes, trying to let sleep take her away into dreamland in this new apocalyptic world of the living dead..
