Infected

Chapter 20: Lost And Found

It's getting cold. We walked onto the forest path. I looked up into the sky, the sky was completely gray and saw small drops of snow falling from the sky. I breathed heavily, seeing my breath. I placed my hands on my arms and asked, "WH-wh-where are w-w-we g-going?" Aizen shrugged, shivering as well as he carried his freezing brother. "S-s-s-somewhere far away from h-h-here." Aizen answered. We kept walking, carefully avoiding infected people. A few moments later, I heard a soft thud behind me. I turned and saw aizen, with his knees on the ground. "Aizen?!" I called to him, still shivering. I walked up to him and held a hand out to him. "Are you able to k-keep going?" I asked. Aizen nodded, grabbing my hand to help him up. I took off my bandana and placed it around aizen's neck. "What are you doing?" aizen asked. "Helping y-you." I shivered, grabbing his arm to help him walk. I feel naked without my bandana, but I'll be okay, I hope. "We need to find shelter...I-if we don't...we'll freeze to death." I said. "C-cain?" aizen replied. I turned to him. "Th-thanks." he said. "D-don't thank me yet." I said back to him. We kept walking, angel following us. An hour later, I felt dizzy and weak. I let go of aizen because he can walk on his own. But, I felt myself drifting as I collapsed.

Aizen's POV

*THUD!*

I heard a thud from behind me. I turned and saw the light blue fox, on the ground. "Oh no, cain!" I cried, running to him as I checked if he had a pulse. I sighed in relief, he did. "He must've used up all of his energy. We need shelter now." I said to my little brother. Angel looked down at cain. He took off his hat and put it on cain's head. "Thanks bro." I said, petting his head. I picked up cain over my shoulder and we continued. It seemed like the more we walked, the colder it got. The wind blew, making me stop for a moment. Before I knew it, it was getting dizzy for me too. No, I can't pass out! I shook my head, encouraging angel to keep moving. 5 minutes later, angel weakly fell to the ground, he passed out as well. "Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!" I said, turning around to fetch my unconscious brother. The snow fell heavier. Angel was barely breathing. "Cain, cain please you gotta wake up! I can't pick up two people at once!" I begged, shaking the light blue and white fox. Cain didn't move. I started to panic. I'm the only one standing. If only tank was here, he can lift them both without a problem. But, he's gone. I shivered from the cold. I had to try to pick them up both. I picked up angel first and dragged cain by his arm. It didn't help at all, cain grunted in pain. I had to do something else...but what? Soon, when that strong wind hit me in the face, I fell on my knees, accidentally dropping angel. I tried so hard not to pass out. "I gotta...stay awake...I-I...gotta...stay..." I fell on my face. My vision was blurry as the snow blinded my eye sight. I noticed a figure walking towards us. Was it an infected? I didn't know, I hope it isn't. When the figure came close enough, it first went to cain. It touched his chest and nodded. He went to angel and did the same thing. He went to me and touched my wrist. It nodded, I couldn't remember what happened next because I blacked out from the cold.
