the infected

by Godsandgoddessesofgreece

There was a time I believed that you were meant for something, anything! But that's not how I see it anymore. It's truly fascinating how easily your life can change. One minute your laughing and smiling with your family, the next your running for your life. My mom said I was destined for great things, and maybe I was, but not anymore. Or that was what I thought anyways.

get your mother

I gave my friends a wave, showing them that they should come with me. I sprinted down the hallway with my midnight black hair whipping behind me. As we ran I stopped right before a new hallway. thank god I was in inner chase mode because I could senesce human body heat and cold blood from the infected. from what I could detect there were 3 people down the hallway.

I turned around and whispered to my friends, " stay here I got this." they couldn't see around the corner but I guess they seemed to figure out not to mess with me when im like this. I gave them one huge smile and turned around the corner.

I was right. there were 4 beefy men holding guns, knives, name it they had it. the men were around 6 ft. ish...peace of cake. "where's my mother?" the 3 men whipped around pointing there guns at me, but with one look they lowered them. "ha! look its a little girl, lost your mommy?" the men burst into laughter. "I'll ask you one more time! where. is. my. mother." I cocked my head to the side giving them an evil glance. " oh yeah, what are you going to do girly?" the men advanced towards me. I looked at the first man and thought of something quite painful. the man crumbled to the ground screaming, with tears streaming down his face. "I'll give you a 10 second head start!" I growled out and watched in pleasure as they took of down the hall.

I watched as my friends rounded the corner, "why did you let them go?" Leo screamed at me. I glared at him and he whimpered away from me and hide behind piper. "6...7...8...9...10." "you sound like a psyco!" Leo said once again. I snarled at him and whipped my head around to the men who were almost around the corner. don't it will come with consequences. but I couldn't stop, every time I wasted was a chance my mom could be harmed. There was anger building up in me and soon I was going to blow. I focused on the group of men and thought of death. I saw the men collapse to the floor instantly and that was when the pain started. it was unbearable, I crumpled to the floor weeping. I couldn't even think right, my vision was blurring and I could no longer see right. next time will come with a worse consequence.
