Hello everyone! Now i just need to tell you that all the odd numbers are one person's point of view while the evens are Davids point of view. Enjoy!
David: Just A Gamer Girl23 does not own Left 4 dead nor the infected. She does own her OC which is Nathan and others. Please enjoy.
I awoke to the sound of a screech, I panicked for a few seconds but then I remembered. The infected are no longer a danger to me; they won't hurt me because I am an infected. I am a Hunter. The last time I checked, I was infected three years ago, it's been three years since I last saw my best friend. I would have been nineteen but since I got infected, I don't grow anymore, making me still look like a sixteen year old. Nathan tells me I can't freely see the humans now that ZERO has taken him in. My memories of the first few weeks of being an Hunter just comes to me randomly, since I don't remember what I did, say, or do.
I let my senses roam around the room to see if there was anything there that shouldn't be, when I got nothing I let out an unneeded sigh. I hang on to anything that reminds me of being human such as, pretending to breath, express emotions that I remember, sleeping, and act somewhat like a human. Nathan doesn't like it but I just tell him he's an ass rag and then I go into my room, this room. As far as I could feel the room only had boxes and household objects that would be no use to me. We are living in a hotel building on the very top floor; you need to climb the outside wall to even get in the rooms we occupy. Nathan has been teaching me on what to do as a Hunter. Such as, feeding time, hunting, and survival. He also shows me how to use my other senses other than my eyes to 'look around.'
At the moment I got into another fight with Nathan, about how I can't go visit David. Amber, she's a lady Boomer Nathan saved from being shot at. All of us are really close and she doesn't like it when me and Nathan fight, which is almost every day. Anyway she's out on the other side of the door which is in the kitchen, most likely eating. I sat up and scowled when I heard a thump coming from the living room, Nathan's home. I crawled to the door, planning on eavesdropping on what he's going to say, or rather growl.
I heard him lightly crawl over to the kitchen; stop at my door for a few seconds before continuing to the kitchen. I pressed my ear against the door, more to feel like a human. I could have stayed where I was which was across the room and hear them like they would be in the same room as me, but again I say, I want to feel more human so I sneak and press my ear against the door.
"Has Victoria come out of her cave of sorrow yet?" I heard Nathan ask, his voice sounding like it was slightly concerned but annoyed. I heard Ambers stomach grumble, a sign she was going to speak. The voice I usually hear in my head spoke up reminding me of the message I told Amber earlier, to pass it on to Nathan. I wondered if she forgot, I hoped not because the message was important. The voice I hear is from not feeding, if I don't feed it speaks, I call it my inner monster or beast, when I do feed it's like I'm locking it up. The longer I don't feed the monster the more it talks and the more I become of a monster then Victoria. To say the least I'm crazy, but so is every infected so I don't feel so bad.
I perked up when I heard Amber say that she has a message for him from me, she sighed and told him my message; "Screech said that you're an ignorant asshole." Amber then belched and went back to her eating. Amber calls me Screech because I tend to scream a lot. I smiled, take that Nathan you bitch. When I heard him laugh my smiled dropped and I glared at the door, quietly growled.
"Well that was a better message then the one at feeding!" I had enough of hiding out and I went through the dog door that was big enough for me. Us Hunters and the rest of the infected don't know how to opened doors, that was lost when we changed. So when we found a hotel with all the rooms having doggy doors we moved right it. As in killed the survivors that were here and took over the place making it our own.
When I got out Nathan turned toward me and growled and low soft growl, such a growl that we take as greetings. I didn't bother to greet back, I crawled right up to him Amber quietly slipping away from the scene so she won't get involved in it any further then she already has.
"If I can't talk to him then I can get close to him." I stated, he thought about this for a few seconds, I sat on the ground, yet another human thing. It felt uncomfortable but I dealt with it if it meant acting human. Nathan then growled saying he don't like it since it meant actually going in ground ZERO, but he said that I wouldn't listen to him anyway, I nodded.
We jumped out of the hotel and landed on the roof next to it, we kept jumping for miles until our surroundings started to look nice. Nathan being in front stopped on a water tower that was on a building, I soon followed to a stop.
"This is it, Ground ZERO." Nathan deeply growled not liking the fact that I am going to go in there and possibly die. He turned to me; "I don't see why you're going in there! You know that we need you, and getting yourself killed? It's going to start soon and we need as many infected-"
"And you need humans too; they can be of some help." I interrupted Nathan giving him a frown. From what I could tell that city was surrounded by a dome, with glass on top for the sun's rays to shine in. I bet children think that us infected are a myth, that they would be interesting and scary in us if they even saw us. I was going to jump away but Nathan bit my hood, I looked back and growled a "What?!"
"Just be careful ok, go when it's dark, and find a hole in the glass." At that Nathan rubbed his check against mine, a sign of a nerves farewell. I heard him leave, I waited until he was gone and jumped from roof to roof until I was the building closest, so close I could reach out and touch the metal. I was perched on the edge, thinking of a way to climb it since the metal had no grip to it. Finding David wouldn't be the hard part I know his scent for some reason. I don't even know this David, all I know is that I have a strong connection to him and I want to find out why, if he doesn't kill me. I sat thinking perched on that ledge for hours until the sun went down. I then heard a low hum, not knowing what it is I lowly crawled to the other side of the building the one that was facing the entrance to the dome. Nathan said that this kind of hum is a car, one human's drive in. I heard a flapping sound, like a tarp; maybe I could sneak under it and then sneak out?
Thinking it was such a bright idea I set my plan into action. I climbed down and hid myself in the ally waiting for the truck to pass by so I can sneak under the tarp. I heard three different voices, three very loud happy voices. None of them seem to be anywhere near the tarp. What fools, acting so happy even though dangers are all around them. When the truck passes I quickly jumped on the back of their truck and quietly slipped under the tarp hissing when I found dead infected parts. These people were a monster's like me, killing my kind and chopping them into parts. I growled in displeasure, not liking the fact that I'm heading into an unknown place that kills my kind. Yes we kill theirs but we have to, it's kill or be killed.
When I heard we went through the door, my surroundings hurt my sensitive ears. All I heard was cars driving, people talking and laughing, children screaming, and all sorts of noises. I started to regret on ever coming in here; this is nothing on the other side of the dome. The other side was quite; beside the fires burning and other infected noises. What I trying to say is; I really want to go back to the other side right now. This isn't my world, I don't belong. When the truck went under something and was starting to slow I decided to crawl out, what I didn't know was that I would be surrounded by people.
I heard someone scream and then more people, I heard running and people making orders. I was so panicked I stood in the same spot not knowing what to do. I don't know this place; I don't know where to hide. It's not like I can hide in a fallen building, no I sensed that all of these buildings were standing tall and proud, I smell they were also filled with people.
So I started to jump and climb on buildings to get away, to stop the people screaming and running and now to stop the gun fire that's aiming at me. It seemed like the more I jumped and tried to hide and the more I tried to run away, the more people started to scream. This seemed like an endless nightmare.
I landed in a big crowd of people; I knew it was big because I smelled them, every single one of them. Their sent was big, about one hundred or so. They all stopped and stared in horror, have they never seen an infected before? I was surrounded and scared, and the two combinations are not good.
"Kill them all, feast on their flesh." I heard that voice again. The dark said was appearing once again, the monster within me. Even though I have my human mind like some other infected, we have the dark side. Our monster side, this side wants us to kill, destroy and so on. We usually lock it away when we feed, but I didn't go to feeding since last morning. You can go so long until the monster takes over, and when it does it's hard to go back to normal.
I hushed the voice and it laughed but none the less quitted for now. I was going to jump away but I got whiff of the smell I came here for. The one named David was in this crowd and slowly making its way over to where I currently am. I knew I didn't have time, the person with the guns was telling others about a Hunter breaking through the barrier and it's now in "ZERO".
I started to quickly crawl to where David was heading towards me. Everyone moved out of my way. I stopped when he also stopped; I smelled that he was right there a few feet away from me staring, like everyone else, scared to make a sudden movement. David was reaching towards me to pull up my hood to see my face.
But a shrill, ear bleeding alarm so high pitch it hurt blasted thought out the dome. It hurt my ears so bad I screamed out in pain, but to them it was a scary screech. This made everyone jump and run. David jumped and was about to quickly remove my hood but I swiped at him, not to hurt him or infect him. But because I was in shear agony and I don't want anyone to touch me right now, all I want is for the pain to go away. The monster told me to destroy and the pain will stop, so I did. I screeched in pain, pushed David out of the way and took down everyone in my way. I screeched again in pain when the siren went high, I jumped on a building and kept leaping toward the source of sound. All I remember then was that the monster found its way in, and it had only one thing in mind for it was in pain also.
To eat whoever put on the siren and to destroy the siren itself.
