(In progress!)
I woke with a dull pain through out my entire body. I groaned and tried to sit up, but found that I had been bound to the ground by heavy chains. When I looked about myself, I found that I was in a large containment chamber with clear walls and surrounding each and every one of those walls were black watch soldiers, commanders, super soldiers and normal soldiers alike. When I was fully awake I found that it was hard to breath, then I started to notice it….crimson colored gas encased the room wall to wall; it was blood tox. A coughing fit sent my body in spasms, and caused the soldiers surrounding me to turn their attention from each other to me. The coughing fit finally subdued, and left me down on my hands and knees, gasping for air.
"Ah, I see you're awake...good." A deep voice boomed, before a shadowy figure walked into view. There standing before me was a gruff looking commander.
"So what are you going to do with me now that you've captured me?" I asked, pushing back another coughing fit. I sat up a bit and leaned against the wall for support. I could feel the blood tox draining all of my energy, I barely had enough to stay conscious.
"We have a proposition for you." The commander said, leaning against the glass and straining to see through the crimson gas; although I could see him perfectly fine.
"Yeah, and what would that be?" I asked, fallowed by coughing.
"We need your help Alex, the infected are getting stronger and even harder to kill; we're loosing soldiers left and right. If we don't do something now, something drastic, then they'll over power us and the human race will cease to exist." The commander said.
"Mmmmhhmmm and your way of asking me to help is locking me in a room full of blood tox?" I growled.
"Precaution; that shouldn't be too hard for you to understand should it?" The commander asked. I sighed in response and looked down at my hands, how many have I killed? How many lives have I stolen from men, women and children alike...
"I understand." I said, my voice more of a whisper.
"How could you trust me after what I've done? Do you honestly believe that you could trust me? What if I pretended to help you, then turned on you. I'd have more information than I'd need to be able to take down the entire military." I replied, forcing back another coughing fit.
"That's just a risk that we'll have to take. We can either trust you, let you help us take out the infected, you could destroy us anytime you wished, or if you didn't help us we'd end up destroyed by the infected anyway. We need your help Alex, and I have reason to believe you will." The commander said. I remained silent, and thought for a moment.
"What exactly gives you reason to believe I'd help you?" I breathed a heavy sigh, then coughed violently when I sucked in a deep breath of blood tox.
"We've been watching you Alex, you've changed. Everyday we see new changes in you, how much more human you're becoming. I believe that you want to help us...that there's a reason why you let us capture you." The man replied.
"To feel human again...to feel like I belong, to know that I'm not an outsider is what I want..." I said in such a low voice I wan't sure that he'd heard me, but by his answer I guess he did.
"Then it's settled, we'll help you gain your humanity back, and in turn you help us defeat the infected." The man said. I sighed, and allowed my heavy eyes lids to close for a moment. I was having a pretty hard time keeping myself conscious with the amount of blood tox in here.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I'm working on several projects at once and just now got back to this one. It might take me a while to update this one because of the fact that I'm not too sure where I'm going with this one and right now, I'm just writing it without a full on plot; which isn't the smartest idea. So right now I have no real plans for this story and whatever happens happens ya know? If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear em! Please read and review! :)
