(6:00 a.m.)
(Mansion)
(Entrance Hall)
"Well, we shouldn't stay in one place for very long. Who knows what could come on all of a sudden." Ousho stood up, stretching.
"Ousho, do you really think we should explore? I don't think it's such a good idea." Myou grabbed him by the shoulders.
"I don't think it's such a good idea either, we could get lost or attacked again." I stood next to Myou, blocking him from going upstairs.
"Well, it's not smart. But do you really think staying here is a good idea?"
"Yes." Myou and I said flatly.
"Well, I don't. I think I'd like to try to find food. I mean, they got to have something, obviously, someone could have lived here."
"Yah, and now they're walking dead, here." Myou looked angry.
"Well... maybe we should go..." I looked down. "I feel really weak, and dizzy."
"See, Myou. We should try to find some food. Maybe somewhere is a map."
"A map?!" She looked surprised. "Why in hell would someone have a map of their own house?"
"It's not a house." They had just noticed I had left the group and was up stairs, looking at a scary picture of some old guy. "This is a training facility, so there has to be a map, only if we're lucky to find it. This place has to be giant."
"A training facility? For what?" Myou walked up.
"The 'T-Virus'..." Ousho read, the description under the picture.
"What's that?" Myou looked into my nervous eyes.
I knew what the 'T-Virus' was, I had heard my Mom and Dad talking about it over the phone. Mom didn't know that I was behind her, apparently, my Father worked here. And that's why when I always asked him what he did, he wouldn't give me a straight answer... He didn't want to scare me, by telling me that he worked on a Virus, and an Anti-Virus, that caused physical mutation, and left the body it took over was left with only the basic of abilities—
The need to feed
'But how could it get out? Dad had said that they found that the Anti-Virus hadn't worked on the animals they tested it on, and there for they locked it up, and lost the key...'I thought. "That's impossible...they threw away the key. How could it get out?" I whispered to myself.
"Lola? What is it?"
"The Virus, was created with an Anti-Virus...but when they saw it didn't work, they locked it up and lost the key."
"So?" Myou persisted.
"So...there's no cure. No way to kill the virus."
"Are you saying that we probably won't make it out alive?" Ousho whispered.
"I'm saying that, to make it out alive, would be virtually impossible." I looked into their green eyes.
"So, the whole world's going....going to die?" Myou's eyes watered at the fact of death to Earth.
"Not necessarily...but most likely the continents of North and South America's will, unless someone finds a way to kill off the Virus."
"What should we do?" Ousho looked back down stairs, as if expecting something to burst in."
"I'm not sure. But I told you all I know, I don't even know how it's spread. I could only guess it would be spread the way any virus is, but there isn't a way for us to be sure without proof." I continued starring behind them.
"How do we know of we're infected?" Ousho's head shot up and he starred nervously at my shoulder.
"I-I don't know....um, Father told mom that, that if something/someone would be infected, with in the next 6 hours that thing/person would experience dramatic mood swings, nausea, high fevers reaching dangerous levels, spontaneous black out spells, and constant sweating..." I thought back, hoping I wasn't giving false information.
His nervousness was relieved.
"But there is no way to know for sure. So I really don't know if that's how you can tell."
"So what you're saying is that what you heard over the phone could have been false information?" Myou's eyes locked on the painting. "We can't go on like this...not knowing where to go, what could happen with one of us just making one innocent move. We can't do this alone, and it's not like some group of made up super-heros will fly through the windows and tell us everything's ok, this isn't some vertual reality game where you can save right before you die, and you have some cheat book helping you avoid areas, and warn you when something will happen and how to beat it. This is real, no cheat books, no saving points, no restarting, no second chances."She looked into her twin's eyes, "We HAVE to stay alert and going around would be like asking for one of those things to find you. So, please, let's stay here, where it's at least slightly safe?"
