Infected
Chapter 17: Capture
Finally, with the huge jerk grandpa asleep, I can finally get some sleep, even though it's only 3am in the morning. Just when I closed my eyes,
*Kaboom!*
I screamed, falling off the couch, so did lakey. "Oh come on!" I angrily growled, sitting up.
*KABOOM!*
An even bigger and louder explosion came from outside. Everyone from upstairs ran down the steps and saw what was happening. "What's going on!?" Ava cried. Aizen looked out of the window and gasped. "Mom! They're back!" he cried. Linda gasped, "Oh no..." When I was about to ask who was back, aizen let out a loud gasp. He quickly grabbed angel and screamed,
"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!"
Lakey grabbed shadow and dived to the ground. Ava grabbed ryan, chance grabbed linda, ian grabbed maiko, and I took cover and we dived to the ground. Tank grabbed Thomas, who yelled, hitting tank's head with his cane,
"Put me down you flee biting, overlarge, stupid monkey!"
Tank protected Thomas and...
*KABOOM!*
The explosion was so strong, that debris of the house began falling. I braced myself as the debris fell on us. The only thing I heard was ringing in my ears. My body was being weighed down by the heavy debris as I struggled to get out from the pile of debris. Finally, with one last push, I moved the debris off of me. I gasped, looked around, the safe house...is gone. "Guys!? Everyone!?" I called. Then, I saw a pile of debris move and aizen popped out, along with a crying little brother. "Aizen!" I called, relieved. Soon, tank, linda, chance, ian, lakey, shadow, maiko, and Thomas...damn it...popped out of the debris. But, I realized who didn't come out yet...ava and ryan. "RYAN! AVA!" I screamed. Then, debris popped out, and ryan popped out. "Ryan! Are you-" I asked, relieved. But then, I realized ryan was covered in...blood. I heard soft crying coming from him. Slowly, I approached him. "Ryan...?" I said, softly. Then, I gasped. "No...please god no..." I said, tears welling up. Ava was there, lying in her own blood. Ryan was sobbing, his big sister is dead, the love of my life is dead! Ava's light purple eyes were lifeless and her light pink fur was covered in blood. I started to sob. "Who did this!? WHO!? WHY!?" I sobbed, grabbing ava and sobbed into her chest. "Please, say something! ANYTHING! Oh god, ava why!? Ava, sweetie please!" I sobbed, begging. Then, I felt a hand land on my head. I turned around and saw aizen. I couldn't help it, I sobbed uncontrollably. Then,
"Greetings. So sorry to wake you up this early."
We all turned around and saw a group of...dusk soldiers holding strange weapons. "You...you..." I said, growling. I got up and started to walk to the group. "You...killed...my girlfriend! I won't forgive you for that!" I yelled, tears still flowing out of my eyes. "Oh? I was going to tell all my soldiers to kill all of you, but now I see you...cain. I want revenge." a very familiar voice said. My eyes widen in horror. The scissor bear is still alive. There were stitches on his chest where the alligator attacked him. How? HOW could he survive that?! The scissor man snapped his fingers and dusk soldiers ran to us, chains in hands. Ryan screamed for his sister as he was tied up and being dragged into the truck. Tank angrily roared loudly, punching away dusk soldiers that got near us. Suddenly, the infected were attracted to the explosions and came to the dusk soldiers. Then, chance took out his toolbox, pulled out a large axe and threw it at an infected that was near Grandpa Thomas. "You almost hit me! You stupid floosy!" he yelled, angrily. "I'll take that as a thank you!" chance yelled. Suddenly, a dusk soldier was aiming his gun directly at me, while I was distracted protecting Shadow and Angel. Ian noticed and time seemed to slow down as the gun fired. I looked to see the bullet flying to my stomach.
"NOOO!"
Ian jumped in front of me and got shot instead. "IAN!" Lakey screamed. Ian lied there, coughing. "Ian! NO!" I yelled, running to his aid. "Wh-why!? WHY!?" I said, over and over again, trying to help him. "Cain...*Cough*...R-run..." ian weakly said, closing his eyes. Ian stopped breathing and the only movement I saw was tears streaming out of his eyes. Tears were now pouring out of my eyes. "No...please ian...no..." I said, crying, desperately searching for Ian's pulse. No movement. Then, I heard a loud painful roar behind me. I turned to see...tank. Tank was now being brutality shot by dusk soldiers and being bitten by infected. I heard aizen scream tank's name. Then, someone grabbed me by the bandana, it was a dusk soldier. My hands were being tied by chains and soon, everyone was being thrown into the back of the trucks. I was completely devastated, Ava is gone, ian, and tank. Ian is lakey's best friend so I know how he feels. Tank is like aizen's partner so he must be heartbroken. And ava...oh ava why?! Ryan is alone, but he's not alone with friends on his side. But, where are they taking us? Back to Happy Tree Town? Back to the prison?
