Meeting the Variant

All POV

Smoker and Hunter snuck around the corner connecting the kitchen and the living room, as they looked down the hall towards the room with the supposed variant.

"Smoker how about you go first?" said Hunter as he crouched and backed up a bit

"No no by all means please take the lead" Smoker smiled at Hunter and waved his hand in the direction of the room.

"This ain't alright smoker..." Hunter slowly crawled down the hall across the annoyingly creaky floor

Hunter came to the entrance of the room and peeked inside noticing the figure was still in the far corner of the room just sitting fairly still.

Smoker quietly snuck up beside hunter and took a look inside and was amazed to see a slim figure sitting in the far corner of the room, the figure was just sitting kind of like the Witches had always done except it was strange... The Witches always cried when they got in that position but this one it made no sound at all.

Hunter started to back up a bit to allow Smoker more room when he accidentally knocked into a dresser causing a few small items to fall along with the loud crash of a what was assumed to have been a glass cup.

Hunter and Smoker froze solid in an instant both with there eyes glued onto the figure which now was turned facing them.

Smoker POV

Smoker looked ahead at the figure as he noticed the pair of golden yellow eyes staring at him and Hunter.

"Uh... Umm... Hello..." Smoker said hoping to try and defuse the situation

"My name is Smoker, and this is Hunter... we were just uh searching for some stuff when we came across you, we mean you no harm" Smoker kept his eyes glued on the figure as it went from sitting to standing and kept silent watching them.

All POV

"What have i gotten us into..?" Hunter thought to himself as he and Smoker stood just feet from the possibly very dangerous variant of a Witch

"whwheere aam iii?" a gurgled sound came from the figure in the corner suprising both Smoker and Hunter

"umm well right now we are just in this house.." Smoker was quick to answer for fear of upsetting the figure.

"whhhy ddo ii fffeeel so hhhunggry?" the figure shifted from standing normally to put its hands on its head

Smoker and Hunter watched in both amazement and horror as they noticed it, the figure had claws similar to the Witches... only difference being they were much larger and seemed oddly positioned.

"sso huugngry..." the figure began to cough some letting out what sounded like years of build up in it.

"I am so hungry..." the figure said again this time sounding much more normal

"If you are hungry we can help you get some food" Hunter said hoping to calm the figure down

"why...why are y'all acting so afraid of me?" the figure said not having realized its own situation

Hunter and Smoker both glared over and pointed at the figures hands which were currently resting atop its head

"What my hands?" the figure pulled down its hands to take a look when it noticed the obvious difference "wh-what the heck... what happened to my hands?!" the figure began to move its fingers around trying to get a grasp on what was going on.

Smoker POV

The figure seemed to have not understood what was going on, it was noticeably distressed by the appearance of its newfound claws "Excuse me, but could you tell me something..?"

The figure shifted around a bit and now had its claws down by its legs just hanging down as it turned its attention to Smoker "uh yea... sure i guess"

"What is the last thing you remember?" Smoker asked having a fair idea as to what was going on now, it had occurred to him as the figure had gotten frightened by the appearance of its claws but it was possible that he did not realize he was an infected yet.

The figure was silent for a moment but then begun to speak again "I was getting ready to go to sleep early cause i was sick and felt like crap"

"Yes, but tell me... were you a human at that time?" Smoker waited for the answer

"Huh? well of course i am a human what else would i be?" the figure had a bit of a sarcastic tone in its voice

"Well yah ain't a human now are yah?" Smoker retorted with a bit of a grumpy tone

The figure just stood still looked down at its claws in silence and then replied "t..t..then what am i?"

Hunter POV

Hunter had been patiently crouching and listening as Smoker spoke with the figure but was too energetic to hold out anymore

"An infected of course!" Hunter said as he jumped up a bit digging his claws into the ceiling and hanging from it while slightly swinging

"wait so by infected you don't mean... come on you cannot be serious... a Zombie?" the figure seemed to give off a bit of a giggle at the idea of it

"Yes!" Hunter said as he hung from the ceiling

All POV

Smoker watched as Hunter hung from the ceiling beside him hoping Hunter would not do anything stupid like upsetting the figure

"Hey would you mind coming this way more so we can see you a little better?" Smoker asked politely

"Huh... oh uh yea sure" the figure started to stumble forward at a fairly slow pace until it reached an area if figured would work

Smoker and Hunter looked over in awe as they realized that Hunter has been correct... the figure was of a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, he was wearing a pair of white almost gray-ish shorts and a hoodie to match. The hoodie was white and gray-ish also but had no signs of blood stains or anything other then the occasional torn marks indicating that he had at some point scratched the area only to in-turn rip his clothing.

Smoker noticed now that the eyes which had early been a golden yellow were now a light blue and that the figures hair was similar to Witches in the sense that like them it was a gray-ish white color.

"I told you i told you!" Hunter swung happily back and forth laughing also

"Yea yea yea... so you were right" Smoker tried to ignore hunters prideful laughs as he turned his attention back to the figure

"So umm what shall we call you? we can't really call you Witch now can we..." Smoker came a little closer to the figure awaiting his reply

"Witch? what do you mean by that?" The figure asked but let it go as a name came to mind "...Hmm i don't know why but for some reason the name Warlock keeps popping up in my head"

"Warlock? alright that is a bit of a strange name but it will work all the same... Nice to meet you Warlock as i said before this is Hunter and i am Smoker" Smoker said with a smile as he reached his hand out to Warlock.

Warlock carefully reached out his new hand and shook the hand of this Smoker guy.
