Infected

Chapter 3: Changed World

5 months later...

Well, this is my life now. Nobody is in the streets anymore, no children playing on the sidewalks. Nothing. But, I did manage to survive, like what my mother wanted. But, alex didn't survive for long. He died of a horde of infected people. The only person I have left in the world is Pillow. If I lose him, I would be all alone. Pillow and I evacuated into a small town called Happy Tree Town. We also met them. We saved a light pink fox with purple eyes. She had a little brother with her. He's a red fox and is about 9 years old. Their names are Ryan and Ava. We stayed together and protected one another. But, the town wasn't the same. The Military came and treated us like we were one of those infected people. But, my group of friends changed when pillow decided to break one of he rules.

Yeah, rules. I HATE rules. Here are the list of rules,

#1. Always follow dusk-dawn curfew

#2. Stay FAR away from the gates

#3. Always go through the infected detectors and if you're infected, well...you know what happens.

#4. Don't go out of your homes during Infected Night

#5. Don't disrespect the Dusk Soldiers

Yep, the Dusk Soldiers are those military group I mentioned earlier. They're HORRIBLE soldiers. And I...we never shouldn't have broken one of the rules on that night. I was asleep on the couch, trying to ignore the infected people screeches and gunshots outside, and was tossing and turning. I had a awful nightmare. I was covered in blood, pillow and ryan were infected. Ava was hiding behind me as I tried protecting her. But, I was bitten multiple times by them. Worse, the kept on...laughing. My body felt heavy as I heard a loud

*THUD!*

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

I woke up, sweating. I found myself on the floor as I crawled back on the couch.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

"Who in the world would wake me up this late?"

I got up and answered the door. I saw the red fox, with her eyes closed. "Ava?" I said, waving a hand in her face. Was she sleep walking again? I hope not. "Ava? Hey, are you sleep walking?" I asked, slightly shaking her. Suddenly, ava grabbed my hand, surprising me, and opened her eyes. I gasped as I saw her eyes were...glowing deviously red.
