Infected
Chapter 21: Saved
Cain's POV
"Hey, wake up!"
"Mmmm..Mmmm..."
"Wake up, cain!"
"Urgh...aahh..."
I slowly opened my eyes and it was blurry. I recognized aizen's voice in front of me. I grunted some more, and hot water was splashed onto my face. I covered my eyes and face. "WHAT THE HELL!? AAHHH!" I screamed. "Clarity! What the hell!?" aizen yelled. "S-sorry! I really wanted do it!" a voice said. I managed to open one eye and my vision cleared. "I told you he's not bitten!" aizen yelled at a light orange fox. She started laughing. "I'm sorry! I couldn't help it!" she laughed. My vision finally cleared and I could see again. We where in a clean bedroom. I looked at the cracking up fox. She has black hair, with a light blue strand in the front. She has brown eyes like me, filled with tears from laughing. She wore a white shirt and black ripped shorts. I glared at her, and she shrugged her shoulder. "Don't look at me like that! Haha! You're going to make me cry!" clarity said, sarcastically. I continued to glare at her and aizen placed his hand on my head. "Well...your fever is gone. This is clarity." aizen said. "Wait, I had a fever?" I asked, getting up. Aizen nodded, "You were out for two days. I thought you were dead!" I looked at myself, I felt cold and my head hurts a little. "Where are we?" I asked. "Well. This is clarity's house. It has a gate and guard dogs! Her cousin brought us here and-" aizen explained. "Whoa, whoa, whoa wait...guard dogs!?" I asked, interrupting aizen. "I know right? I was surprised too." aizen replied. "They're outside. Look." Clarity replied, pointing the window. I walked to the window and saw 5 large dogs. They're 3 pitbulls and 2 German shepherds. I watched in amazement as they fought and killed Infected trying to get through the gate. I was speechless. "Yep! This is my house!" clarity replied, leaning against the wall. "Where's your cousin?" I asked. "He went out to find more survivors. It's snowing outside! He could find anybody!" she answered. Then, angel came in. He gasped in relief as he ran to me and hugged me tightly. "Oof!" I grunted. "Angel was worried about you. He wouldn't leave your side when you were asleep." aizen said, smiling. "I-is that true?" I asked, smiling. Aizen nodded, smiling as he hugged me again. "Clarity...thanks. For saving us." I replied, smiling. Clarity looked away from me. "Yeah, yeah. No problem." she said. Then, suddenly,
"CLARITY! OPEN THE GATE!"
Clarity's ears perked up and ran out of the room. Angel got off of me and followed aizen to run down the hall. I followed them until we exited the front door. I stopped running and saw a balcony near the stairs. I ran on it and my eyes widen. A brown bear was carrying a orange and white cat. He was running towards the house, followed by a horde of infected running after him. "LEO!" clarity screamed. Clarity pulled down a lever and the front gate slowly opened. The brown bear jumped through the gate, turned around, and closed the gate back. Infected tried getting through and tried biting their way through the bars. Leo panted. "Don't worry, everyone, they can't get in." he replied, bringing in the orange cat. "Is she alright?" clarity asked. Leo nodded, "Yeah. She just passed out from hunger and cold. You'll never believe what she has though." Leo showed us the orange cat and what she has in her arms. I instantly gasped as she held a red baby blanket, cradled in her arms. "Oh my gosh." clarity gasped. "Thank god it's not injured...Aizen?" leo said. "Y-yes, sir!?" aizen quickly said. The brown bear chuckled and replied, "You can call me Leo. Can you get some hot water please?" Aizen nodded and ran to the kitchen. Leo placed the orange cat where I was sleeping. "Cain, right?" Leo said to me. I nodded. "I want you to watch tis cat. If she does anything, tell us immediately, okay?" leo said to me. "Sure...okay." I said. I looked at the orange and white cat, the baby still cradled in her arms. Angel looked at leo and asked,
"Can I play with the dogs?"
"Sorry, not now. Maybe later when we clear the backyard."
"Okay!"
Clarity, angel, and leo left the room. I sighed, looking at the unconscious orange and white cat. I then heard her mumble something. I got a little closer to her and heard her say,
"I...I...promise to...protect...Blaze..."
I looked at her and tears were leaking out of her closed eyes. Poor her, whatever she been through, I feel bad for her. I sat down on a chair near the bed and waited for the cat to wake up.
