Infected
Chapter 13: Survivors
The sky was gray and the air smelled like it was going to rain. "Uh...ian?" shadow said suddenly. Ian turned to the gray and white cat. "It's going to rain. I don't like getting my fur wet." she said. "It is-" ian asked, looking up. Suddenly, rain started to fall, heavily. "Well...crap." lakey said, his ears down. I looked around, and noticed two pairs of red eyes peering out of the darkness of the forest. "U-uh...guys?" ryan cried, noticing and hid behind ian. "Oh snap!" lakey added, as we were surrounded by infected. We backed away, more and more infected people coming out of the bushes, jumping out of trees, and looking at us with hungry eyes. Then, rai noticed an infected bunny about to lunge at me and bite me. He pushed me out of the way and the bunny bit him instead. "RAI!" we all yelled. "RUN! GO-NNNNNNNNYAAAHHHHH!" Rai screamed as more and more infected animals tackled him and started to devour him. My eyes widen in shock. "RAI! NO!" I yelled. Lakey grabbed my hand and we started to run as fast as we could. Eventually, we ran into a dead end. "Dang it, I knew I should've carried weapons with me back at the prison!" lakey said, his cat ears flatten his head. Ryan and shadow began sobbing, ian tried to clam them down. Lakey was desperately searching his bag for ANYTHING to use as a weapon, and I was protecting ava from the infected animals as they got closer and closer. Suddenly,
*Fwoop!*
I flinched as an arrow hit an infected wolf's head. "Hey! Move! MOVE!" a voice from above yelled. We quickly turned around and saw a light tan bear, with arrows on his back and a bow in his hand. "Tank! Save them!" he yelled, shooting another arrow at a another infected head. Large hands grabbed ava, ian, lakey, and ryan. I turned to my left to see a large gorilla grab most of my friends, jump from tree to tree, and put them down to safety. Shadow ran into my arms, sobbing saying,
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Then,
"Maiko! Those two!"
A yellow chipmunk, wearing a bright red shirt, jumped from a tree, accidentally tripped on a tree twig when she ran, and tumbled down in a cloud of dust and crashed into me.
"ACK!"
We both grunted. "Damn it, not again. Tank! Once more!" the light tan bear growled. The gorilla jumped down again and saved shadow, the yellow chipmunk, and me. "This way!" the bear yelled as we followed him deep into the forest. When we were safe, he asked us if any of us where injured. We all shook our heads no, then I remembered about rai's death. I tried not to cry, wiping tears away from my face. "What're your names?" the bear asked. "That's none of your-" ian answered. Then lakey interrupted ian and answered,
"I'm Lakey! This is Ian, Ava, Shadow, Ryan, Cain, and Rai-...oh yeah..."
Lakey's ears went down as he remembered rai's death. We were all completely disconsolate.
The light tan bear noticed. "We're sorry for your lost. But, that's what the world is now...full of death, pain, and despair. I'm Aizen. That's Tank and Maiko." I turned to the large gorilla, who smiled and waved. I smiled back and turned to my right to find the yellow chipmunk. Maiko was looking at me, smiling and waving like tank. I waved back, "Are there more of you guys?" shadow asked. "Well...there's three more back at the house." Aizen answered. "House?" ava asked. "Yeah, I guarantee you, this is the 100% safest house I know!" Aizen answered, giving us a trusting smile. Then, I stopped walking as we exited the forest, the rain got a little harder. "There! That's the safe house!" Aizen said, pointing to a huge house. "Wow." Lakey whistled. We walked to it and Aizen knocked on the door. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my Grandpa can be a real...pain...so mind your manners, alright? Tank." Aizen added, then glaring at the large gorilla who smirked. Then, a dark tan bear, wearing a blue sweater and had a big belly answered the door. "Aizen! I was so worried about you!" she said, sighing in relief as she hugged Aizen. "I'm fine, mom! We all are." Aizen said, smiling. "I'm glad you came, Angel was really worried about you." aizen's mother said, a light tan bear, younger than ryan and shadow, appeared from behind aizen's mother. He had a green sweater on, blue eyes, brunette short hair, and wore a blue winter hat. The little bear walked to Aizen and hugged him. "You were worried about me little bro?" Aizen smiled, gently giving the young bear a ruffle on the head. Angel nodded. "Oh! Mom, angel! Tank, Maiko, and I found more survivors. That's Ian, Ava, Shadow, Ryan, and Cain!" Aizen said, introducing us to his family.
"Hi! I'm Linda! This is my son, Angel. Go on, angel, say hello." aizen's mother smiled warmly, as she let us in the house and closed the door. Angel hid behind Aizen and quietly said,
"Hello..."
He is also very shy, peace loving and has a very soft voice.
"Awww! You're so cute!" ava said, smiling. Angel hid his face in his blue winter cap. "Th-thank you..." he quietly said.
Then,
"What's all the racket!? Can't an old man get some peace and motherfudging quiet for once!?"
A old cranky voice from upstairs yelled, as a white bear walked down the steps, almost falling down. "Oh! Daddy! We found more survi-" Linda said. "Did anybody tell you to talk?!" snapped the white old bear. Linda sadly looked down. So far, I do not like this man...one bit. "Grandpa, you need to keep your voice down. You'll get a heart attack!" Aizen said. "I can yell all I want! Do us all a favor and make out with your girlfriend somewhere else!" the white grandpa bear growled, pointing at maiko, who blushed heavily. "I-I don't like Aizen!" Maiko stuttered. Aizen turned to maiko,
"You don't like me?"
"N-no, I DO like you, but not like in a romantic way!"
"LIAR! She's a liar I say!"
"I'm not! Thomas, I'm not lying!"
"Aizen, she's blushing! It's obvious!"
"I-I..I...I..."
"ENOUGH!"
Linda yelled, breaking the argument, "Dad, if you're hear to cause anymore trouble, you can go outside and sit in the rain!"
*Silence*
"Whatever..." the old bear said, going back upstairs. I sighed, "Yep, this is hell."
