The Whole Nine Bites

Chapter 1- Which witch is Witch?

Graverly Hospital

After what seemed like an age to him Lucent opened his eyes to two things, One that the wound in his side was already healing and two that he was awake at all and as he reached up he screamed as he looked as his hand or what had once been his hand but what was now his palm and all of his fingers had elongated into thin razor sharp claws he looked at his other hand to see that the same fate had befallen his second hand and suddenly he felt somthing well up behind his eyes and then he was crying his hands covering his face as he rocked back and forward sobbing as he thourght of Avery his friend who had left him all alone here left him at the time he needed him the most, Then he loooked upon the black trousers that he still wore and with a sudden snarle he began to hack and slah at them with his claws untill they where all but destroyed below his knee,s and as he looked upon his plae legs he thourght back to the witch that had got to him the look on her face as she looked at his blood and in that instance all blame for the one that had: gotten to him, had turned him, had infected him was gone he felt a sudden warmth to the girl but he dissmissed it as he gently pushed himself from the bed he began to walk to the door his arms wrapped tightly around him as he walked into the walkway outside the door, And as he looked down upon the atrium of the hospital he could see no signs of Avery except the ones that had fallen against him the somthing glinted and he turned to see the mirror that now had a crack down the center and with as he waled closer to it he saw that somthing was written in blood but not just any blood his own blood but then he stopped and thourght 'Wait my own blood how do I know that' But he knew it was his own and as he looked at his own reflection in his mirror he saw his usually round full face was now gaunt and sunken and his black matted hair was now white thin and wispy and seemed to stir in the slightest breeze that caused a shiver to run up his spine as he soon figured out he was cold and he wrapped his arms even tighter around him slef as he began to desend into the hospital atrium and as he waled over to the door which still lay open he wished he hadn't ripped off most of his trousers as he walked into the cold night and began his slow walk into Graverly

Graverly

As he walked Lucent soon realised that the other infected stayed away from him as he walked down the road his arms wrapped tightly around his blood stained shirt and soon he reached the limits of the city and as he walked down a back alley his legs gave out and he dropped to the floor and soon he was sobbing again rocking backwards and forwards as he began to think about that he was all alone and he sat crying in the alcove for sometime till his ears pricked as footsteps echoed down the alley he was crying in and he suddenly was alert pressed against the wall ans he smelled human flesh and licked his lips as the man picked his way through the street his gun held loosely as he walked down the street to the safe room that Lucent noticed was on the other side of the street but as the human grew closer Lucent's resolve weakened as he thourght to himself that he shouldn't harm this person as he was a human but the infected part of the brain called out that the man would only see him as an enemy and as this internal struggle raged inside Lucent the man had already walked past him and was almost at the safe room and as Lucent came out of his deep thourghts one of is claws scraped against the wall and the man turned as the scratching scraping sound echoed through the alley and suddenly the infected where all around them one of them got close to the man and grabbed on to his arm but as the man punched the infected in the face he dropped his shotgun and bolted for the door and slammed it into an infected ad he bolted it shut and suddenly Lucent wanted to get to him and just to see if he would shoot on sight at him and soon he was hacking his way through the crowd of infected at the door his sharp claws tearing through their flesh as each swipe added to the kill toll and Lucent neared the dooe and when he reached it he croutched against the wall around it yet so that he could not be seen as he tried to speak and as it crossed his mind he thourght 'Wait why would I be able to speek just cause I can still think human dosen't mean I can speak' but as he thourght this in a raspy voice that was not unlike his old he asked into the night

"Hello?" Lucent asked

There was a pause and the man replied "Hello who is there?"

"I am Lucent what about you?" Lucent asked again

"I am Samuel where are you I can't see yah" Sam replied

"Well I .. promise you won't shoot?" Lucent asked a hint of panic in his voice

"Just come out so I can see you" Sam replied

Lucent swallowed and walked into the door way and smiled at the man behind the door "Uhh..Hi"

"What the fuck your one of them get the hell away from me" Sam shouted as he backed away from the door

"No please I am not like them please just let me in" Lucent pleaded as he placed a hand against the door his claws scraping against the metal "Please?"

"Why should I" Sam asked as he walked back towards the door but not close enough that Lucent could reach him with his arm

Lucent looked around stumped about how he should react untill his eyes saw the gleam of chrome in the moon light and sith a smirk he walked over and akwardly picked up the gun and walked back to the door with a smirk "Well I have your gun" Lucent smirked as he held up the gun

"Fuck "the man swore as he checked his pockets and the room for any more weapons "Thats my only gun give it back " he continued

"Let me in and sure why not " Lucent smiled as he backed up to avoid getting the gun taken from his lose grip

Sam banged his head against the metal bars of the door as he spoke "Fine I will let you in just no trying to eat me ok?" Sam muttered as he un-bolted the door

Lucent smiled as he opened the door and entered the warmer safe room and smiled as he sat on the sofa and spread out laying the gun on the table as he smiles at Sam who just grimaced as he sat opposite the infected and as he took the gun from Lucent's grip and placed it by his side.
