Hunter's Pounce 2

Location: No Mercy – the Hospital

************Hunter************

I smelled the air, searching for something different than the foul stench of the commons. The plants here inside Mercy Hospital failed its job of purifying the air, or it was just me. Either way, I managed to sniff out a group of survivors. By their scent, I can deduct that there are about six of them, all in their teenage years and all heading towards the elevator. How can I tell? Cause I'm good… Anyway, I silently followed them, not allowing myself to be seen.

/I am NINJA!!!/ I roared

/sure you are…/ a smoker mocked as he coughed

/What are you guys waiting for? The group already called for the elevator/ a common yelled as he ran past us.

/Showtime! / A boomer said as he waddled to the survivors.

'Was it just me, or was that boomer's breath smelled like mint?' I thought. I shrugged the idea of it having a toothbrush and hid in the vents. I wouldn't want to risk my neck fighting. The leftovers will be mine.

In the elevator waiting place, a female with long auburn hair in a ponytail with greenish blue eyes together with a male with black hair and purple eyes were fending off the infected in a corner. Their comrades, on the other hand, ran around like maniacs, shooting all in their way. Fellow survivors included. One was killed by friendly fire while another was killed by the mint-breath boomer's zombies.

Finally, the elevator arrived. The doors opened and the female I saw earlier immediately rushed in, only to be pounced by a hunter lurking inside the elevator.

"Fucking hunter!!!" she screamed

Her male partner saw of this and drove his right hand in the offending hunter's back; piercing through its heart and killing it instantly.

Creepy. That's what ran in my mind when I saw the teen kill my brethren.

"Are you alright, Viz?" the creepy guy asked as he helped the female

"Yes, thanks for that one, Mark" this 'Viz' said while she holstered her pistols.

The two other survivors ran inside the elevator and immediately closed the door. Unfortunately for them, one was dragged out by the elevator by a smoker. Their numbers are now reduced and I can see my time shine soon. I came out of the vent and climbed alongside the elevator, planning an ambush. I managed to pass the hole on top of the elevator and saw an intriguing scene.

"Hey Louie, can I borrow your pipebomb?" Mark asked

"Uh sure…" Louie said, handing the improvised explosive to the creep

"Okay, thanks!" Mark said as he tossed the bomb at Louie, who failed to catch it

"LOUIE!!!" Viz yelled as their comrade mysteriously fell from the elevator and pummeled to the concrete 15 floors below them.

Okay… maybe Mark isn't creepy. He's 'Freaking Creepy'.

I tried to force that disturbing scene out of my infected mind and climbed on.

Okay, I'm in the 28th floor of the hospital now. The two are going to arrive any second now. Better hide.

'Where to hide, where to hide?' I asked myself as I strolled by the construction site in the hospital

Behind the Forklift? Nah… too predictable

On top of the boxes? They'd see me

Inside a box? Why the hell would I want to do that?!

Inside the room beside the boxes? Perfect. I can pounce and push a survivor off the ledge. Just in time too.

/My meal…/ I growled as I crouched, ready to pounce any unsuspecting survivor that is foolish enough to pass my ambush point. Mark in this case.

There was a split second when our eyes met before I leapt at him. Everything went in slow-mo as I approached the ledge. And then…

/What the Fuck!!!!/

************Survivors************

"Mark!!!!" Viz screamed as she crouched to look over the ledge and see the hunter fall off Mercy hospital "No…"

"Hey Viz, whatcha looking for?" Mark asked as he squatted beside his friend

"You" she solemnly replied before looking at the teen. "I thought…you fell with the hunter"

"Well, hunter fail" he cheerfully replied as he stood

"Screw you!!! You had me worried" Viz exclaimed before nearly pushing him off the ledge

"Uh… a little help please. Viz?"

************Hunter************

What the heck did just happen? Where's Mark's corpse!?

'Well, at least I'm alive.' I calmly told myself before looking upwards.

Okay, how am I supposed to climb back up there in time for the Finale?

*Facepalm*

"Owwwww!!!!!!!"

Seityrn: There, all done. Wait until the finale! A lot of stupidity in there.
