Infected

by HTFBrony333

Infected is sort of like a zombie apocalypse, but the infected people has red eyes and has intelligence. They can run, jump, smell you, and they can even talk! Based on my OC HTF characters, Cain, a light blue fox and wears a green bandana, loses his mother. Months later, he learns that the world he once knew is gone, replaced by a merciless world he now knows.

Chapter 5: Venturing Out

"This way you guys."

Pillow whispered as we slowly sneaked through the Dusk Soldier's, behind flipped over cars and buses. When we arrived at Paul's Auto Shop, we closed the door and switched on the lights. "So...what're we doing?" ryan asked. "I told you, scavenger hunt!" pillow replied. Pillow started to look around. "Hmm...now where did I put them?" he asked, looking underneath cars. "What are you looking for?" ava asked. "You'll see once I find-Ah! Here they are!" pillow answered, looking underneath a Toyota and pulled out...a glowing stick? "Uh...pillow? Where did you find that?" I asked. "Hmm...I'll tell you, but you can't be mad at me." pillow replied, grinning. "Where. Did. You. Find. That?" I asked again, through my teeth. "Okaayyy~...uh, at the Happy Tree Mall?" pillow answered, smiling. "Where!?" I yelled. "Shhh! Someone's coming!" ava said, turning off the lights. "What was that?" a voice asked from outside.

"I didn't see anything."

"Must be me. Come on."

Dusk Soldiers walked past the Auto shop and I turned the lights back on.

"Pillow! What the heck!?"

"Ah-ah-ah! You can't be mad at me!"

"How and when did you get to the HTF mall!?"

I yelled, angrily. Just when pillow was about to say something, I stopped him. "Never mind, I don't want to know anymore. What kind of scavenger hunt are we playing?" I asked, changing the subject. "Actually, it's not really a scavenger hunt, it's a game! C'mon, cain, I know how much you love games!" pillow replied, putting a green glowing stick necklace around my neck. I rolled my eyes. "It's called, Capture The Flag! We're going to play it in the dark. We're going to wear these glowing sticks so we know where each other is," pillow explained, putting a yellow glowing stick around ava's neck.

"I put a box in...I'm not saying where, somewhere in the mall. I want you three to find it and bring it to me before curfew is over."

"Curfew isn't over until morning, pillow."

"Hey, that's not fair! You know where the box is!"

"Don't worry, ryan! I won't be playing."

"Where are you going to be during this?"

"Around."

"*Groan*"

"Alright guys, let's do this."

Pillow, ryan, ava, and I sneaked into the Happy Tree Mall. It was much bigger than I expected. Hoping nothing bad will happen along the way, that's all I thought about, safety is all I can think about.
