Wake up 3

Shaun looks over at Zach, as he sobs into himself in a closet. The world feels stuffy and shifty to him,his hand hadn't stopped bleeding, and all he could hope for is that Hector got Cody to safety. A cough rackets his body as he seems to cough up blood. He staggers and falls in his on blood, his vision blurry. He looks at his still rapidly bleeding hand, as it shakes and twitches without his command. He fingernails were falling off and the pain from what looked like his bones morphing through the tips of his fingers. His legs and arms started to shake as his head pulled itself back. Every muscle and bone moving, changing, breaking, and repairing. His lays limply on the floor, as he feels a popping sound in his mouth as he sees his teeth flow with the blood out of his mouth. He could even feel his bones growing into his mouth.

Hector ran after Cody, up the impossibly long stairway.

Cody ran as fast as his legs could take him, up to the last fleet of stairs, 'Okay this is the last buttons I've found, please let it work.' He hits the button, making another alarm sound in the distance.

Hector takes deep breaths as he finally caught up to the middle schooler. Only for Cody to sound an alarm and open every door in the building, "Cody come on!" He grabbed the child's arm around as what looked like a tongue wrapped around him. With all his might Hector grabbed Cody with one hand and fought the tongue thing with the other. Hector finally pulled Cody from the thing, hands completely covered in slime, stinging the lighter cut on his hand. As he grabbed the child and ran as all he saw was zombies running up the stairs, "Come on, maybe he found a different way out."

Shaun felt he had something to do. He just didn't know what, he looked through his pockets. He sees the picture of his friends and looks up at the man crying in the room in front of him, 'Curious' He walks up, looks at the picture, then the man, takes a sniff. "Friend." He watch as the man looks up at him.

Zach, "Friends?" He looked through his pocket like the creature. "Okay." He stood up and started to wander.

Shaun leaping behind him, until he got to the door, "Cody. Meal?Maybe. No. Pack. Pack. Pup." With that he leaped till he got up the stairs, hearing Zach's sobs he stays nearby. "Wait. Food..." He says as he finds an uninfected corpse.

Zach sobs, "Don't like." He stays nearby as his friend eats.

Hector had never ran so fast in his life. He only stopped when he had ditched the crowd of people. Until a hacking cough went through his body, and tiredness hit him right upside the head. Hector lies on the sidewalk, on his side. Tears running in down he face as he tries to breath through the coughs in the night air.

Cody looked on worried as Hector collapsed, "Hector?" he said scared.

Hector pulls himself up and walks into the apartment, noticing that some of the doors were open, while other were quiet, or held screams. He went into an abandoned one and lied on the couch by the window, tired. "If Shaun's walks by we'll see him."*cough*

Cody, "Here." Hands him a towel, as he turns to look for his brother.

Shaun jumped around near the hospital. Watching Zach every so often, because when night hit he just sat and won't move. Shaun tilts his head, "Hurt?".

Zach, "Sleepy." He sobs as Shaun hides himself, from the sound of voices.

A man walks up to Zach, "Aye man, you okay?" He says, making Zach look at him, "!" He screams loudly when he sees that Zach is infected, he grabs his bat.

Zach "!" He screams in shock, sees the bat, and readies his claws. Until he hears a screech.

Shaun, "Food." He started to tear the man apart, "Hungry?"

Zach sees jelly beans fall from the man's torn bookbag, "Eat this."

Back at the apartment

Hector sleeps whizzing on the couch, green stuff dripping from his hand.

Cody tries to find something to fix the nasty cut on Hector's hand, "Found it!" He yells, waking up Hector, "Here Hector, it's for your hand."

Hector, "My hand?"He looks down at the green liquid oozing out of his hand, with little bumps growing around it. "Thanks Cody." He said as he slowly poured the peroxide on it, and hears a sizzle, 'Oh dear God, I-I'm infected. What do I do?' He thinks as the realization hits.

I figure Transforming would leave one unbelievably hungry, so an infected would stop to eat quite a bit, even smart ones.
