"Hiccup Behind you!" Jack screamed.
But it was too late Hiccup hadn't noticed the walker in time to stop it. Hiccup fell backwards trying to get away from it losing the knife he was holding, when the walker lunged. Jack quickly pushed the walker down and used his own knife to stab it between the eyes. But it was already too late Hiccup had been bitten.
"Hey Hic, wait for me!" Jack yelled from across the hall.
Hiccup stopped to wait for Jack to catch up to him and then continued to walk on to his next class.
"What do you want Jack, I'm trying to get to class?" Hiccup murmured.
"Oh lighten up Hic, I just came here to talk to my best friend. Do I not have the right to do that anymore?" Jack chuckled.
It was really awkward for the two as they silently walked to class, until Jack finally spoke again. "Hey have you watched the news lately? There was something really creepy going on in Atlanta this morning. A woman had called 911 to say that her husband had just died." Jack said.
"Jack, people die every day. Its not unusual or weird. Its just a part of life." Hiccup explained feeling slightly annoyed at Jack.
"You didn't let me finish. Yes, I know that people die every day, I'm not stupid. Anyway as I was going to say before you so rudely cut in was that the same woman called back a few minutes later saying that he was alive but acting very strange, like he wasn't himself anymore. And when the police and ambulance finally came they found her outside screaming her head off. Apparently he had bitten her. The police didn't say anything else after that except to tell everyone that he is currently under quarantine in the CDC." Jack said quickening his pace to keep up with Hiccup who was now almost running to his class.
"I don't believe a single thing about that story. I mean its really hard to believe, a man died, came back, bit his wife, and now is in quarantine." Jack chuckled.
Hiccup stayed quiet the whole time Jack was talking. There has been a lot of these sort of cases going on around the world since last week. Everyone who had been bitten got really sick and died…then came back. But not as themselves, more like a rabid animal.
"Hey Hiccup! Earth to Hiccup! We're about to be late for class, so stop just sitting there daydreaming and lets go!." Yelled Jack who was running quickly to class.
Hiccup had spent most of the day thinking about what Jack had said and all the weird news reports going around. "Like he wasn't himself anymore."
The same question repeating over and over in his head…What is it?
I know this chapters a little short I promise the next chapter will be longer. I might bring in some other characters later on I'm not sure. Also sorry if there are any mistakes in my writing I'm not really good at that stuff but at least I try right :D
