CHAPTER 5: RE-INFECTION
Wolf sprinted onto a tree and jumped from one to the other through the forest with amazing speed, his pure white hair flapping in the wind. He held the WolfSaeiga in his hand as the Reverse blade sword gleamed in the sunlight. He approached the village that used to be Maddy's and saw Fevered ransacking the area. He jumped to the forest floor and slashed a tree so that it came crashing down, alerting the Fevered. Their screeches reached him as three appeared through the woods. He cut them all down; getting used the feeling of wielding the sword again. He saw a pool of Fevered blood form and he placed the blade into the small sticky blood. The blade glowed as the sky darkened and the Blade turned back into a pure dark green blade. He gazed into the blade and saw himself infected with Wolf Fever. Wolf growled, the WolfSaeiga roaring in power as the Wolf Fever re-infected the blade. He turned and sprinted back, unaware that the Fevered were dead on his trail. Wolf dashed into the clearing as he saw Mura dragging Cloud back into the field with her father. Taylor's nose clenched up and his ears perked straight up as he smelled the familiar evil inside the blade "WOLF YOU FOOL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!??!" Wolf jumped and flipped in front of Cloud, turning to face the Fevered that had followed him "I JUST SAVED YOUR SON'S LIFE" Cloud moaned and tried to stand up. Mura helped him up as Wolf roared "MURA, TAYLOR, GET INSIDE AND SHUT THE GATES NOW!!!!" Taylor grabbed his daughters hand and dashed back. Cloud leaned against Wolf as he told him "Cloud, I don't care what you have done or what will happen from this day forward, no matter what you do, you will make all of us proud, you are the only you" The fevered came charging at Wolf as he hacked one and the blood flew past him and a splotch of it smacked Cloud in the face. Cloud howled out as he fell backwards. Wolf dispatched the other five as he turned to see Cloud writhing on the ground, flailing about as his body pulsated. Cloud's claws grew larger and his hair a tad longer and darker. The whites of his eyes filled with the color of blood as Cloud stood up and faced Wolf. Cloud stared at him and the Fevered running towards him. The "Infected" Cloud placed a hand on his rib and snapped it back in place, grunting in pain. He then howled to the sky and ran past Wolf, claws outstretched as he roared
"CRIMSIORONI!!!!!!!"
Cloud's claws turned bright Crimson Red as he slashed at the Fevered, making ten crescent moon blades of energy (five for each clawed hand) roar out, shredding the Fevered. Wolf looked at Cloud who had stopped to look at his hands. The smell of blood filling his nostrils turned Cloud on to the fullest extent as its sweet aroma clouded his senses. He turned sharply and grinned an utterly evil grin as his blood red eyes bore into Wolf's. Wolf looked down at the WolfSaeiga "Cloud isn't infected with Wolf Fever, He has just met the other side to his coin, the other half of his ancestry, the other Wolf Demon" Wolf stared at Cloud who growled menacingly at him and turned to face him. Wolf looked down and picked up a good sized rock. Throwing it up and down a few times lightly, Wolf gave a casual nod and said "Hmm, yep, this will do" And with that he hurled it at Cloud's head. The rock shattered and Cloud fell to the ground unconscious. Wolf picked him up and carried him back to the fortress, the infected blade in his hand and a new Cloud on his shoulders. As they entered the mansion Sarah looked at Cloud's face and gasped. His fangs were longer, the claws were razor sharp, and his eyes were partly open, revealing a blood red color where the whites of his eyes should have been. Sarah gasped out "HE'S FEVERED?!?!" Wolf turned and shook his head "No Sarah, He is the opposite, you'll understand" And with that he walked up the stairs to Cloud's room, Sarah following closely behind. Sarah followed Wolf up the stairs towards Cloud's room. She felt the blood red eyes boring into hers as she continued to try to look away. Cloud gave a small growl as he saw Sarah turn her head away from him. Wolf suddenly jerked back as Cloud began to thrash on his back. Cloud roared out as he clawed and kicked over Wolf's shoulder. Wolf cried out as a claw hit his shoulder and he dropped Cloud. Sarah screamed and ran back down the stairs as Cloud scrambled up and went after her. Sarah cried out for her parents to save her as she tore through two double doors and down the long hallway, Cloud panting and growling behind her, claws outstretched. She heard Ryan and Kane calling for her somewhere in the mansion as she clawed the door handle to her room, throwing it open and closing it quickly behind her as Cloud slammed into the door, knocking Sarah backwards onto the floor. She watched the door bang violently as she crawled backwards, whimpering in fear as Cloud screeched through the cracks, splintering parts of the door. She had made it to the foot of her triple king size bed as one of the doors came off of its hinges and crashed on the floor in a heap of splinters and cracked wood. Cloud ran through the opening and stopped, panting as his blood red eyes stabbed deep into hers, striking fear into her heart. Sarah gasped out in fear as she clutched her chest where her heart was. She climbed backwards slowly on her bed as Cloud walked forward slowly, claws at his side, stained with blood and ready to kill. "I…I can't breathe!" Sarah thought, terrified she might die of fright "I've never been…so…so…SCARED" She crawled to the head of her bed and sat their curled up as Cloud climbed on her bed and stood over her, watching her cry silently, waiting to die. "SARAH, SARAH WHERE ARE YOU!" She heard Ryan's cries. He couldn't help her now…no one could. Sarah whimpered as Cloud knelt down, his claws still exposed and near her. She closed her eyes, waiting for the end. It never came for her as she felt something press against her stomach and she opened her eyes slowly. She gasped as she saw Cloud curled up beside her, his head laid beside her stomach and his claws at bay in front of him. Sarah didn't budge as Cloud laid there, his eyes closed and his slow, growling sleep was heard. She breathed slowly; still scared she would see the blood in his eyes. "SARAH!! FINALLY!" Ryan roared as he burst through the entrance. Cloud's eyes shot open and he sprang up, kneeling in front of Sarah and growling menacingly at him. Ryan eyed him closely and paced around the room, seeing that Cloud was watching him. Kane came through next, followed by Mura, Kiara, Kacie, and Wolf who stayed back against the wall. Sarah whispered "Jesus H, what the hell is going on!?" Taylor came in a moment later and saw Cloud, copying everyone else and backing against the wall "Dark Wolf Swat is here, they've come for Sarah and Kane, Sarah has to report for labor work." Cloud screeched and ran through the splintered doors, roaring with such force the mansion shook.
The swat member pointed his gun at the door. His friend tapped him on the shoulder "Dude, come on!" The swat member never took his eyes off of the door "I'm telling you, there are fevered here" The friend shook his head and pointed his 34GTJ65com SMG (machine gun) towards the kitchen door. 20 members made up the team as some went up stairs and others walked through the various doors in the main hall. "Alexi, I thought you said that Wolf kid died awhile back". Alexi lifted his helmet visor "I thought he did too, ok spread out" The men took squad positions as they inched their way through the house. One member turned sharply at the balcony as he saw a shadow shoot past the window. He screamed like a little girl as he emptied some rounds at the window. The glass shattered as Alexi yelled at him to stop being such a wuss. Alexi began yelling at him loudly "WE ARE HERE FOR A SERIOUS OPERATION AND YOU ARE JUST, ARRGH!" Alexi roared out. The soldier wasn't even paying attention to him; he was looking over his shoulder in painstaking fear. Alexi looked at him "What?" He turned and saw Cloud running at him with inhuman speed. Before he could scream his throat splattered all over the wall as Cloud jumped up into the ramparts, dodging the machine gun fire that roared through the large room. Cloud swung down from behind on a chain rope and cut off the head of three men as he fled to the shadows again. The men looked around frantically as they backed up into a tight circle formation. The man saw Cloud but before he could shout Cloud's voice roared through the mansion "CRIMSIORONI!!!!" The men couldn't run for the Blood red Blades chewed them to pieces. Cloud stood over their bodies, one of his eyes was Fever Red and the other was normal. The blood red eye turned back to normal as he slumped against the wall. He looked up to see Sarah standing their, looking at the bodies. Cloud called to her "Sarah? Are you ok?" Sarah turned her head so quickly Cloud could have sworn he heard her neck crack. She ran towards him full speed and plowed right into Cloud, sending them both flying back onto the ground. Cloud grunted loudly as Sarah squeezed the oxygen out of him in a big bear hug. Cloud looked down at her in shock. Sarah had her face buried in his shirt, right through his Hori and his Brown Kakemono (shirt) to where it was pushed into his clean shaven chest. She was crying hysterically as she squeezed harder around his waist. Cloud looked at her in complete strangeness, but put his arms around her in response. He stared up to see Taylor and Wolf looking down at him "It's not safe here anymore Cloud" Taylor said. Wolf smiled "We got a job for you, it will make up for your recent mistakes" Cloud whimpered "What kind of job…………."
