(Adam's POV)
'Thinking, that's all I can do now. Where am I? Jay?! JAY! Why can't I say anything? Why is that light so blinding? God my eyes they burn, my body aches, it's hard to breathe.' I try to cover my eyes from the light, but feeling light headed, I would pass out anytime now.' Trying to my body off of whatever I'm on, I could feel a pair of hands taking off my clothes, and putting new ones on. Falling back into another dreamless night, I felt like someone or something draining my humanity and putting something monstrous in me.
(Jay's POV)
Poor Adam, he must be having a nightmare or something. After putting on his new clothes he didn't look like Adam anymore. He looked like one of us now, it terrified me that we're not going to make it to the CEDA outpost in time. I hope that the CDC will be able to help him. I didn't even notice Cameron walking in. "Hey Jay, what's up? Anything new with Adam? Oh I see he has a new outfit on." Sitting down next to me, Cameron tried not coughing but he let out a few small ones. "He seems like he's getting better, once his temperature drops a little more, I'll be looking for a car and see if we can get past the pile up, and get him out of here." Sighing in disappointment , I get up and headed towards living room bumping into Regina in the process. "Oops sorry Jay, I was going to check on Adam." Regina blushing like crazy, "Cameron's in there right now and I guess it wouldn't hurt if you went in there. We really need to get him to Forest Lake fast." Regina nodded in agreement and told Cameron that she'll be watching over Adam for the night. I hope he wakes up soon so we can get the hell out of here. Heading towards the living room filled with half infected was weird. Zac was sleeping in the corner while Alice and Peyton were doing each other's hair. When I was about to sit down Dan walks in covered in blood. "I see you were busy Dan." Alice said from the blood stained couch, across the kitchen. "Save it, and here's your damn cigs. Now leave me alone." Dan throwing the cigs at Alice, Peyton, and Zac. Waking Zac in the process, he grunts. "What the hell?" Rubbing head. "All of you leave me alone for the next eight hours, I'm going to bed, I need sleep bad." Rubbing his eyes with his hood. "Well I think that we should all go to bed, I'll keep first watch. The rest of you, get some rest we'll be needing all the energy we can get, we have a long trip ahead of us." Everyone nodded in agreement and headed to their rooms. Alice and Peyton bunked together in what appears to be one of two of the guest bedrooms. Zac and Cameron in the other guest bed, while Regina and Dan take up what used to be the kids' room, and Adam and I took the master bed. I wonder what Regina is doing with Adam now?
(Regina's POV)
Poor Adam, he was burning up from the fever a minute ago, looks like it cooled down now. To be honest with myself I chose a really good looking outfit for Adam. I'll add the duct tape on him later. I was about to leave to got to bed, but I decided that I'll spend the night with him tonight. Adam was sleeping on his side, when I curled up in a ball next to him. Our backs touching each other, damn his body temp was hot as a furnace. I'll take his sweatshirt off before I fall asleep. I never did because once my head hit the bed, I was out like a light.
(Alice's POV)
"Good night Peyton. Good night Alice." We both headed to our beds after taking some new clothes from the dead residents'. Peyton fell asleep in seconds when her head touched the pillow. Me well right now I'm just thinking myself to sleep, trying anyways. Looking over at Peyton, you could tell that before the infection started, she was beautiful. Her long blonde that went to the middle of her back, which is now in a ponytail thanks to my amazing hair skills. Her hair now stained with green muck from the smoke she's emitting, only made it looking better, I could tell she had blueish green hazel eyes, since there tints of it in her now yellow eyes. We literally just met a few days ago, and we've gotten real close to each other, friends you could say. The only thing that's bugging me is how she has her outfit on, who is trying to impress with the black and blue crop top? And the short shorts that's barely covering her ass. Well I guess she doesn't care what she looks like, we're already dead anyway might as well screw around for a while. Me on the other hand, well I chose my favorite halo tee shirt, and my black sweats. When I infected, I wanted to wear something comfy and well lazy. I got up at looked at Master Chief and the Arbiter back to back against the flood, damn Halo 3 was a fun game to play but Reach had more Forge options, and ODST had a fun campaign but it was so short. Sighing I headed back to the Living room where Jay was. Bumping into Dan, who recently got out of the bathroom. "Oh h-hey Dan sorry for earlier man I guess it's a smomer thing, I don-" He cuts in. "No I'm sorry, I just ran into some old 'friends' and luckily I was able lose them before coming here, that's why it took so long and covered in blood." Without thinking, I wrapped the hunter my arms, "Just glad you're here in one piece." He quickly surrendered into the hug and after a few minutes, he went into his room while I headed into the living room where Jay is standing near the window. When I walked into the living room, Jay didn't stop looking out the window for the entire conversation. After the conversation I started to doze off and went back to my room, where I was greeted by the heavenly bed. Within minutes I feel into a dreamless night, the darkness was very calming, it felt like there was no care left in the world.
(8 hours later)
(Adam's POV)
The morning light leaked from the bloodied window blinds, rubbing my eyes to clear my vision, I stretched in my bed but was greeted with a body curled up next to me. It appeared to belong to a...girl. Wait, What happened when I fell asleep? And when did my outfit change? Did Jay do this? Ugh my head, grasping my head for a few seconds to make the room stop I could see straight the figure next to me suddenly wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me into her, with that we fell on the floor and landed on top of me. "Um well, this is a great way of waking up, and you are?" I said in a confused voice, not knowing what was going to come out of her mouth she got off me and basically lifted off the ground with ease. Now I'm face to face with a huntress who seems to be, purring? "Um hi?" I waved "Morning Adam." She cooed. "I'm Regina, and if you're wondering why you're in new clothes, well I went out and found some for you." Her smile was pretty toothy and sharp for my liking but I'll get used to it.
After five minutes of conversing, I figured out that this girl was Regina Roberts, she was the girl I had a crush on back when apocalypse didn't exist. She was ecstatic to see me, that's for me, well, I was red when she was on top of me that's for sure. Walking into the livingroom was a huge mistake, I was greeted by Jay who took me in his classic bone breaking hug. Even though I'd normally enjoyed one of those but today felt, odd. After getting out of a hug, I got bombarded with other hugs from the new group members. I learned that the smoker I met before, well saw anyway, was Cameron. He infected Alice who I remember was in the other group of of which, what happened to them? Then there was Peyton, her personality was very bubbly. She was happy to see me for some reason, and so was that crop top too. Zac, was the last smoker who I met, and seemed pretty laid back, even though his outfit looked like he's going to the prom says otherwise. With learning some new information about my group members, I told them that I was headed to the bathroom. Surprisingly, this house was gas operated, so there was water running through the place. Walking into the bathroom was the worst idea I have ever done. Standing in front of me was a half naked male hunter, who by the way was all that bad looking, like he was well built. Embarrassment hit me like a tank, I quickly slammed the door and walked out the back door to take a piss. After I was done, I checked the bathroom to see if it was cleared, thank god it was. After washing my hands, we all sat at the dining room table in awkward silence, for about a good solid twenty minutes before I decided it was time to go.
When we finished breakfast, I grabbed what I could find; water bottles, med kits, anything that would fit in the bag Regina gave me. After everyone was ready, we all headed out. Without knowing where the katana went, I found two six millimeters, and a crap ton of ammo for them. I loaded two clips in each of my side pant leg pockets for a quick grab. A few common came towards us, and as fast as they came, the faster they were dead. You would think that in the movies the rules apply here, no they don't. There are special infected along with the common. But the difference between the movies and real life, these ones run, fast. If some got too close for comfort, Jay and Regina would step in. Or if any special infected came by, any of the smokers would get me out of the situation.
A few hours has passed, and we are now entering Chisago, which by the way is apparently right next to Forest Lake if you go down through Highway eight. For that entire day, I have been trying to get back into the groove of things, and trying to avoid the male hunter who apparently had to be the same age as me, both of the younger hunters are older than me by two weeks, and they still had to be the same age as me, why does the apocalypse want me to be in awkward situations like earlier today. I didn't to walk in when just just put the towel around his, waist when he got out of the shower. God I hope we are near a safehouse, I could just go back to bed. Even though I just woke up from a mini coma, I'm tired as hell.
