Infected: Chapter 4 – Syx appears.

Slight sexual preferences in this chapter, continued rating T for now if you think I should knock it up to M tell me in the review you hopefully leave if not it will probably go up in later chapters.

End of Chapter 3:

"Get it together Kennedy, your friends are out there putting their lives on the line to find you the antivirus and you're sat in here moping around... I have to help them and that little girl" Leon said before he mustered up the strength to push himself to his feet, beads of sweat lining his brow and his face a sickly pale colour, Leon knew he didn't have much time left and he knew he also had to tell Claire how he really felt.

Leon stumbled down the corridor as fast as he could, he was already feeling the inevitable hunger that the zombies felt.

Begin chapter 4:

Leon stumbled down the corridor in hope of finding the rest of the team; the terrifying hunger he craved was pulling out his insides.

Leon could hear the faint sounds of a handgun being shot; he headed towards them wishing that it was Chris, Jill and Claire.

However before Leon could take another five steps a loud crashing was heard not to far ahead, not wanting to know what it was Leon kept a wary eye out for something, anything that was out of the ordinary.

Another loud crashing of something up ahead alerted Leon to the fact that something was getting closer; he had a good idea of what it was or rather who it was and he knew if he ran in to it he would not survive the encounter.

Silently praying that he did not encounter this monster, Leon walked on his handgun still in his hand but he knew that he would soon be too weak to be able to do anything if something attacked him.

- - -

Chris, Jill and Claire all heard a loud crashing above them, they had no idea why could have been but they knew they had left Leon defenceless, they knew they had to hurry up if they were to retrieve the antidote to Leon's infection.

"Chris, what if he doesn't make it, what will we do then, what would we tell all of our friends and his friends, I know he doesn't have any family left but is like a part of ours even if that is only me and you" Claire said out of the blue it had been silent over the last few minutes until now.

"He will Claire, I know he will, Leon's a strong man and his love for you is pure, everyone can see it" he replied and she knew he was telling the truth, she could see it in his eyes.

Jill listened intently to Claire and Chris's conversation; she could tell that Claire cared deeply for Leon almost as much as she did for Chris.

The Young Becky Kelly wandered around the labs in hope that she would find the agent from earlier, she knew that the monster from before was also after her and it wouldn't stop until it found what it was looking for.

The rest of her family had died trying to protect the amulet that she was currently protecting herself; she heard a rough voice in the distance but it didn't belong to the guy she had seen before.

The question was could she trust them.

Going through a large metal bar Becky found herself in some kind of torture facility, her eyes widened as she took in the many dead bodies that had been mutilated.
There were body limbs everywhere; it was like something out of a horror film.

As she took her first step she had to block her nose as the stench of death hit her.

"God this place is awful, why would somebody do this? It's beyond gross" Becky said as she continued down the corridor.

"I hope I find you soon, I know I won't last much longer without you" Becky whispered and screamed as a zombie came flying out of the door to her right, she turned quickly and ran, the zombie to slow and stupid to realise that she had gone.

- - -

Leon was doing the best he could to survive; he had already used nearly the whole ammo clip on various zombies that were wandering around aimlessly.

Leon knew he had to find Becky; she was only 17 and alone in a lab crawling with zombies.

Leon suddenly fell to the floor in pain, his heart was getting weaker, the life was leaving him slowly he knew he didn't have much time left before he became one of them, it was already a struggle to breathe.

Mustering up any strength he had left Leon push himself to his feet; he had to find her and the rest of his team before he died.

Another explosion went off but this time it was a lot closer, it sounded like it was only around the corner, Leon contemplated whether or not he should carry on or if he should turn back and try another way.

When his commonsense got the better of him he decided that he would turn back, after all his friends were looking for a cure for him and if they got back and he was dead then it would have all been for nothing and he couldn't have that so he slowly stumbled backwards and took a right.

Again there was another explosion but this time it seemed closer he knew that whatever it was it was after him and in his current state it would probably get him.

Leon suddenly hunched over in pain, his gut was on fire but he was freezing, his stomach rumbled in hunger for flesh, he was losing control of his body.

- - -

"Chris, do you think... What if we can't find the cure for what if we get back and he's already dead, what we do then?" Claire asked as a single tear rolled down her cheek, looking up at her brother with puppy dog eyes that were also filled with pain and fear.

"Claire, I know you have feelings for him and I know that they go deeper than love, Leon is a good guy and I know that he is the right guy for you I can also tell that he makes you happy so if I have to put my life on the line to save him then I will because I couldn't bear to see you miserable" Chris replied his hand on her shoulder, he gave her a smile and a nod before turning back to the front.

"Okay Chris oh and Chris thank you, for not leaving him behind" Claire said also focusing on the front.

A sudden explosion behind them sent them flying through the air, Claire sliding across the table full of chemicals, Jill slamming into the wall before falling onto her stomach and Chris landing on her back, "Uh Chris, not that I mind this position at but now is not the time" Jill laughed at Chris who had turned a very deep crimson, his embarrassment evident all over him, his trousers held a small bulge.

"Jill" Chris whined as he helped Jill up, "You're right now is not the time and Claire is around so if you please do not make relations to our sexual lives, no matter what memories seem to pop up" Chris rambled to Jill kissed him firmly on the lips, "We'll talk about it when we get home" She said and turned to see Claire stumble as she stood up a small cut on her head.

Claire turned to where Chris and Jill were, Jill looked like she had just had a 'good time' and looking over to Chris she could see why quite clearly, "OH GOD CHRIS! That is so disgusting oh my god ewwww Jeez guys keep it in the bedroom please" Claire screeched as she span around her hand over her eyes and her face pale.

"Oh shut up Claire" Chris scowled as Jill burst out laughing until a loud screech echoed through the air and went straight through them all, "What the hell was that?" Jill said as they all aimed their guns at the huge gaping hole in the wall that was still covered by the dust cloud.

"I'll check it out" Claire declared and ran cautiously towards the wall before Chris or Jill could do anything.

"Claire, come back here now!" Chris shouted at his little sister but all she did was glance back at him.

As Claire neared the dust cloud she heard what sounded like heavy breathing coming from the other side, "Leon? Is that you?" Claire asked slowly.

Suddenly a huge claw swiped through the air and Claire had to dive backwards to avoid it, landing on her back Claire pointed her gun at where she had almost been decapitated, her breathing fast and her chest heaving.

Suddenly she was pulled to her feet by Chris and Jill, "What was it Claire?" Jill asked and Claire shook her head, "I don't know, all I know is that whatever it is it has huge claws!" she replied.

Suddenly she was pushed roughly back to the floor off to the side as a huge figure charged towards them, turning quickly Claire saw Chris and Jill on the floor to the right and she turned further to see a huge creature stand and turn to face them, Its face was a sickly mix of blood, bones and torn up flesh, its mouth frozen in a sick smile baring its inhumane shark-like teeth. The things body looked like it had different parts of different humans stuck together and one large pumping red heart behind a bullet-proof glass, one of its hands was a normal human hand while the other was like a thousand daggers around one larger one.

"Wh... What the Fuck is that!" Jill shouted as she aimed her shaking hand at the creature's chest, then the monster screamed a mind-piercing scream and charged at Claire who was frozen in fear, the handgun dropping from her hands and clattering to the floor as it came closer and closer, her heart beating faster and faster until she couldn't tell if it was even pumping anymore.

The monster stopped dead in front of Claire, its face literally right in front of her own, she could smell its dead decayed breath and flesh as its pure red eyes stared into her own. Before she even realised it she was in the air above it, its huge claw pressed against her stomach...

A/N – So what do you think I know it's kind of short again. Sorry for the long wait but I have been on an Outward bound course with my school in Wales and only got back a few days ago that and I had a really bad case of writers block until I read a few of the most awesome amazing stories ever to be written online or novel.

Remember the first three reviews will be commented on in the next chapter and remember tell me if you think the rating should go to M or not.

Thanks everyone!
