Julie was kneeled down beside Brian's still unconscious body, brushing the hair off his forehead when Samantha burst in. "I've got it!" she screamed. "I've got the vaccine!"

"We can save Brian!" Julie exclaimed, jumping to her feet. Then she nervously sat back down, noticing the change of expression on Samantha's face.

"What? Save Brian? No! The vaccine's mine! All mine!"

Julie stared at her, horrified. She gently nudged at Brian's side, hoping to wake him up. "But--"

"No. I need it. Don't you see? I'm changing. I'm infected. It's taking over my body!"

"Samantha, you're fine. Brian needs it more. Look at him."

Samantha stopped and looked down at Brian. His face was ghostly pale and his hair was matted down, soaked with sweat. He was breathing hard. She turned away. "But it's mine."

"Please Samantha. Save him. We can find another vaccine for you."

Samantha had her back turned to Julie. The girl was nudging Brian harder now, drops of sweat rolling down her forehead. Please wake up, she thought. All the while thoughts ran through Samantha's mind, thoughts of sympathy, jealousy, and hatred.

"There's only enough for one. Only enough for me. It's mine. I found it."

"Brian brought you here! He risked his life for you and now you won't help him? If it wasn't for him you'd be dead by now. Dead and alone."

Now angry, Samantha spun around and pointed her Beretta at Julie, "Shut up! Shut the Hell the up! You ruined everything for me. Everything was perfectly planned out and then you came along you little shit. Stand up."

"Samantha I--"

"Enough!" she screamed, her face turning red.

Brian moaned and woke up. He looked at Samantha and instantly got up blocking Julie behind him. "Put that away, Samantha, you don't want to do this."

"You're together. The two of you. You were plotting this all along. You betrayed me. Just like he said."

"Who? Just like who said, Samantha?"

"Alan something. I don't know. Who cares! It doesn't matter anymore."

Julie was crying behind Brian, tears streaming down her face. She didn't like Samantha from the start, she could see the evil in her eyes. Brian was searching for something to say... something to do. He was still weak, but he had gotten a rush of adreneline when he saw Samantha. She looked terrible. Her hair was a sweaty mess and her eyes were full of hate.

"I can feel it inside of me! It's driving me crazy. Those bastards."

Suddenly Samantha let out a scream and she dropped the gun and the vaccine to the floor. Brian went to grab the gun but Samantha shot her arm out and grabbed his arm, twisting it around.

"Aaaahhhh!" he cried in pain.

Julie darted around and under Samantha and grabbed for the gun and the vaccine. She got a hold of the gun but the needle stabbed her in the finger and she dropped it. Samantha grabbed a hold of Julie's collar with her other arm but Julie got free, ripping her shirt.

She aimed the gun at Samantha, "Leave Brian alone!"

Samantha laughed, but it sounded more like a scream. "Stupid girl."

Julie shot once at Samantha's leg and again at her left shoulder. She fell to the ground, dropping Brian. He immediately took the gun from Julie and aimed it at Samantha. "Get the vaccine."

Julie quickly snatched it from the floor and hid behind Brian again. "We're leaving you Samantha. Don't follow us," Brian turned around and headed towards the door, "Goodbye, Samantha."

Samantha went to stop them but she decided not to. It would be fun playing cat and mouse. Of course now that the mutation began she had no need for the vaccine. All she wanted was to see them suffer. She laughed to herself as the door closed. Oh what fun it would be.
