Chapter 2 Annie Peck & Ray Carmine

Annie Peck was a poor twenty-two year old, living in an unstable apartment with her friend Ray Carmine. Annie had just came back from Mercy Hospital, from giving birth to her baby boy. Annie was so happy when her baby was delivered, but the sad thing was that the baby had passed away shortly after he was born. Annie was sad, she had been crying herself to sleep for the pass four days. Annie couldn't afford to pay the rent, neither could Ray. Ray stole money from people to pay the rent and to afford what ever he and Annie needed.
____________Four more days passed and it was the 15th of November 2009.________

"Annie? Annie, where are you?" Ray called out for Annie. Ray had left three days ago, and he hasn't seen Annie sense.

*CRIES*
*CRIES*
*CRIES*
"Annie, where are you?" Ray called out again.

*CRIES* Ray heard the crying from the farthest room in the apartment, that was suppose to be the baby's room. Ray opened the door and found Annie sitting on the floor, in a dark corner crying.
"Annie?" Ray asked while walking toward the thing sitting on the floor.
" Go away."Annie told him.
"Why?"Ray asked.
"Just, Go away." Annie said again.
Ray saw that Annie's whole body was just bone, no skin just bone.
"What, happened to you?" Ray asked her.
"I SAID GO AWAY!" Annie yelled while getting up and attacking Ray. Ray pushed her off and locked Annie in the room, and left the apartment.
Ray soon found out that Annie had cut his arm, it wasn't bleeding it was just normal, like she didn't even scratch him. _____ A day passed it was now the 16th____

Ray kept scratching his arm where Annie had scratched him, he made his arm bleed. The scratch had spread like an infection all over his body. Ray had some dirt on his arms and legs, so he wiped the dirt of. He looked down at his arms and saw little squiggles moving around in his arms, he found a small piece of wood and used that to scratch his arms and legs. He made his arms and legs so bloody that he had to put a sweat shirt on and then wrap tape around his right and left arm, above his knee-cap, and his left ankle. He felt kinda sick, but he thought it would just pass. He was wrong he passed out in an alley. He woke up in Mercy Hospital.
__________November 17th________

"How did I get here?" He asked. Nobody was around to answer his question.
The nurse came in and said. "You were found in an alley, somebody called 911 and they picked you up, and now your here." She said.
"What about Annie? Is she alright?" He asked worried.
She sighed,"Shes fine, some herd her cries and called 911." She said.
"Oh, OK. That's good I guess." He said to himself, but the nurse herd him.
"Yes, yes it is. She was locked in a dark room, do you have any knowledge to that?" She asked him.
He waited for about a minute and answered her question."Yes, I locked her in," he paused "She attacked me." He said while looking at his scratches.
"Oh, I see. Um well we're going to take a few tests to see if you have an infection, or something. OK?" She said.
"Ok."He replied.
The nurse left and came back with the doctor. She was carrying a box that had the bio-hazard sign, It must be the needles He thought.
"You might feel a slight pinch." She warned.
He held out his arm and the nurse aimed the needle at his arm. It took about four minutes, then she put band-aids were the shoots were put in. She handed the tubes of blood to the doctor to examine. He put them in a container and left the room. He returned within ten minutes with a medical chart and looked it over again, making sure that what ever was printed was right. He took a deep breath and said "There is a virus that's called the T-Virus." He paused "You have it, so does your friend Annie." "Well what is it exactly?" He asked.
"It's very deadly," The doctor paused." I've had experience with another patient including Annie, the first patient said that he would go into to testing, to help other people if they were to get it." Ray looked at him confused,"So, has Annie agreed to do it?" "Well, she's sleeping now. I haven't told her what she had, but I'll tell her as soon as shes awake." His words promising.
Ray thought about it for a minute, " There's no cure for this right? I mean, am I gonna die either way?" The nurse left the room, until the doctor finished what he was going to tell Ray."Yes, I'm afraid so." He said quietly. The nurse came back about a minute later.
"Alright, I guess. When do they come get me?" He asked. The doctor looked out the door and around the corner, and made room for two scientist wheeling a wheelchair."Now." The doctor said.
Ray got up and fell into the wheelchair, and the scientist wheeled him off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hello? Are you awake?" Someone asked.
Annie opened her eyes and saw that see was the hospital.
"Um, yeah I guess." She said softly."What happened?" She said while rubbing her eyes.
"You were locked in a room, Crying." The woman said."Oh, I'm sorry I bet your wondering who I am?"
Annie blinked her three times then answered."Yeah, I guess." The woman smiled and stood up."I'm your doctor." "OK." Annie said. "So, why am I here?"
"Your suffering from a virus and-----. Annie had cut her off. "A virus, what kind?"
"It's called the T-Virus, very dangerous." The doctor said.
"And what else?" Annie asked.
The doctor looked at Annie, like she didn't know what she was talking about."Oh, um starvation, you were suffering from starvation."
"Oh." She said.
"Your friend, um what was his name?"The doctor asked.
Annie looked and closed her eyes trying to remember what her friend's name was."Ray?" She said worried.
"Yeah, there you go, He was in the hospital too, he had the same infection. There is no cure for it so his doctor asked if he would let the scientists test him for a cure." The doctor said.
Annie thought real hard of what could have given him the virus. Then she remembered. "It was me,"She said sadly"It was because I scratched him? Right? I had this before he did, I gave it to him,"She paused "That's why my baby died, I had the virus when he was in me." The doctor looked sad. "Oh, I'm so sorry."
Annie looked at her."I'll do it." The doctor looked surprised, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely, as long as I'm with my baby boy." She said.
"Ok, I'll tell the----. She got cut off again, the scientist were already there with the wheelchair ready to go.
"Nevermind." The doctor said walking away.
One of the scientists helped Annie up into the chair and they wheeled her away.
