"The what now?" Nathan asked confused having totally no clue on what Kelvin was panicking about.
"Listen here Nathan. You and I are gonna walk out of here right now and you would not touch anyone or anything do understand." Kelvin said as he kept trying as much as possible not to freak out. "Look man you are the one that wanted to be a doctor you should be helping not running away." Nathan said confused. "I know but trust me. If I was wearing a glove or something to protect me from getting infected I would have done that. But right now this is not a sickness that we wouldn't want to get involved with. We need to go. Now!" Kelvin tried to pull nathan with him but he refused insisting on finding his mother first. Just then he notice the people from his neighborhood including Mrs Smith was sitting on a hospital bed sneezing as blood flow through her nose. Nathan ran toward her. "Mrs Smith are you okay?" Before Nathan could touch her Kelvin grabbed his hands. "Don't you dare. He told him. Before nathan could say anything someone yelled from the background. "My teeth! Oh my God! My teeth are falling out." The rest began to groan in pain. Their teeth were falling out including Mrs Smith. Kelvin drag Nathan with him and ran as fast as possible as he could. If he wasn't sure of the virus before with the teeth falling out he was definitely sure now. Though Nathan tried to pull away but couldn't since Kelvin grip on him was strong. Kelvin phone rang he tried reaching it but his hand was battered by an equipment in the room, he lost his phone. Nathan looks around, the whole hospital was now in chaos. The infected were now growing a new set of teeth, like the fangs or a snake. Very sharp and quick to cut into human flesh. They were now tearing people apart, feeding on those that has not been infected including children. The infected were running up and down trying to find their prey. Kelvin called out to Nathan for help, Nathan ran in and met Kelvin about to get sheared. He panicked and had no idea in what to do he froze. Kelvin's father; the chief commander of the cops had gotten information on everything going on. And his order were to find the uninfected with the indicator he was given. So that they could be shifted to another part of the city before the military get to the hospitals as they would kill anyone on sight. Before the chief could carry out his command he remembered his son had gone to the central hospital. The thought of him being there while all these was going on freaked him out. Quickly he sent his men out and followed them behind. Continuously he kept calling his son to warn him or at least know that he wasn't in the hospital. But Kelvin wasn't picking up. He called home and found out that his wife and two kids were at home but Kelvin and Silver; his eldest child was not. His fears were getting the best of him but he still managed to stand tall while giving order. Reaching the hospital the place was already a disaster. Scanning those that were running out, they managed to recuse few people it was getting dark and the military were getting closer so was the victim of the virus feeding more and more on those they could lay hands on. They speed were equal rate as that of a human, they were now pouring out in numbers with razor teeth. Tearing people apart, eating them up till it was their bones remaining. The cops all began to retreat as the victim were charging toward them in full force. Even though some of the uninfected were running toward them for help they couldn't help them since the monster were right behind them. Though the cops tried to shot them, the bullet were only penetrating through them and out. The chief being a brave man stood his ground and was even trying to run towards the hospital. But the military pulled him back. "My son is in there! I have to save him!" He yelled. "If you son is in there, forget him; he is already dead chief, i'm sorry but you are going to have to back down now! If you go in there, my man ain't going with you or after you." The lieutenant said. A young girl about five years old ran toward them. They hesitated from shooting her but that was until she grabbed one of the soldier and bit his leg of while he scream in pain. She was eating the leg fast and with greed that she didn't notice the Lieutenant walk close to her and digged his dagger right into her chest. Killing her once and for all. The cops were still hanging around while they military surrender the whole place firing guns endless. "I'm out!" "Joe forward!" "Someone call backup!" "Holy shit! I did not sign up for these!" "These things are no longer human shoot to kill!. What ever humanity left in them is gone!" The colonel ordered. "These things ain't human mate, they are monster." The captain concured "Don't stop firing!" "Retreat!" "Fall back, fall back!!!!" "Aim toward the building three o'clock!." "Hell shit, man down! Man down!" "Medica!!!" The noise from the bullet, the voice yelling, orders following including the radioactive explosions, everything was happening so fast. Some building has already started collapsing as a results of being destroying by gun shots and bombs. All the whole motion, all against the creature that kept coming toward them. Lieutenant turned around on time to see another was about to dig it teeth into his neck but he managed to cut the head out on time. But he's only mistake was not finishing it off by digging the chest out when the body felled on the ground. He saw the body wasn't moving he turned to face the rest with assurance that it was over. "You see that it wasn't so bad after all." The lieutenant laughed. "Lieutenant! Lieutenant!! Lieutenant!!!" "What the hell!" The chief cop mutter to himself. The body that the lieutenant had butchered it head off was now taking another form. The hands of something that looks like an octupous were now crawling out of the body from the opening in the neck. Before it could crawl out finish it stretch out, grabbed the lieutenant and swallowed him whole. The rest of them close by to the incident were still dumbfounded. Finally it crawled out in it original form. It has the legs of a human and could stand up straigh except it legs were in a form of thorns. From the looks of it, it's seem like it could run faster than them. And the hands were like that of an octopus ten of them and slippery. The head was small but the mouth was big, with seven eyes surrounding its head. Ears were pointing out like an elf ears but a bit smaller. When it has completely transformed and the body that hosted it was now laying on the floor but it was only the skin that was left on the ground. Finally It vomited the bones of the lieutenant it had swallowed earlier.After sniffing the air, it turned quick and fast toward the armies that has been watching it all these while. Sprouting it hands out, it grabbed those its hands could reach and swallowed them as the mouth opened more wider. The more it eat the more it adds up. "Hell no!" One of them shouted. They began to shoot it but instead of the bullet penetrating it only stuck in it's body. They were now all screaming and running back. Their commander required the lieutenant second hand to let him in on what was going on. The second explained that the lieutenant was no longer with them and that they have lost half of them including the medica. He didn't forget to add the fact of what they were facing right now, the virus in it complete form. Looking like an alien. "The virus is an alien. You are taking charge right now, kill that damn thing and fall back immediately retreat we will be sending a bomb that way now to clear them once and all quickly you have a count down off 90 seconds to re
Nathan! Nathan! A low and quiet voice called out from the inner room. Laying down on the only wooden bed in the room, weak and pale to the bone, was Nathan's sick mother. A part of her face was burned, making it impossible to recognise her. Obviously, the wooden bed was the only good thing in the room. The ceiling wasn't properly patched up, nor was the window helping out with the cold weather. Not to even mention part of the room that was leaking. Nathan ran in as soon as he heard his mother coughing horribly. It was as if the sickness was only getting worse instead of better. Running in, he stops abruptly on the door, though there wasn't any door there. A thorny piece of cloth was used as a shed in the room. Nathan took a deep breath, cleaned his tears, and then went in smiling to comfort his mother. "Hey mom, how are you doing?" He smiled down at her, grabbed her right palm, and kissed it. He gently placed his mother's palm on his cheek as she caressed him. "You are the best
He didn't study in school, but his English was still good and decent. And that is because his mom helped him study any abandoned test book he picks up on the road or in the dustbin. Taking Nathan to her backyard, she showed him what he was to do. And she told him she was paying him 20 dollars for it. "But Mrs. Smith, the...? "Ma'am". Mrs. Smith interrupted him. "Yes, ma'am, but the yard is way too big for 20 dollars. It should be 50 dollars, ma'am." Nathan tried to reason with her, even though he knew there was no chance of her changing her mind."Are you doing it or not, Nathan? I have better things to do. Than to stand here with you all day.""Fine, I will do it, but can you add a bit of money to it? "Excuse me""Nothing, Mrs. Smith I mean, ma'am." Can I get the field machine so as to be fast?" Nathan asked."First of all, I don't have that; even if I do, why should I give it to you? I am paying you twenty dollars, which is too much for this little field. And yet you are demand
In one of the biggest hospital in Zion. Nathan was seen talking to one of the doctors who was in charge of his mother. He was lucky enough to flag down a cab after many trials. He had carried his mother down the roads of Froberg. None of the taxi drivers agreed to stop and help him but he still never gave up he carried his mother on his back and continued to walk down the street. Still trying his luck with the cab as he kept trying to stop them. Finally one agreed to stop and carry him. Driving him straight to the city hospital collected from him the last money he had from the twenty dollars and took off. "I'm sorry nathan but there is nothing I can do here. I'm just a doctor doing my job. Your mother had a cancer of the heart and you didn't bother bringing her here soon enough. Now we can only offer her an oxygen machine to breathe on." The doctor said. "Then give her the oxygen. She is all I have I can't lose her now please." Nathan pleaded with the doctor. "It's not free
"I'm actually in a hurry, i don't plan on wasting time kelvin, I'm Nathan L'Amour by the way." Nathan introduce himself feeling happy that someone was actually talking to him for the first time. "Wait did you just said L'Amour, like the L'Amour of all time. No way bro!" kelvin laugh and change his facial expressions to a serious one. "Seriously bro what's your full name?""Nathan L'Amour and what funny about it? what do you even mean by L'Amour of all time?" Nathan was now a bit uncomfortable with kelvin. "Hey man relax, don't tell me you haven't heard the story of the L'Amour's the greatest ever known." Kelvin said immediately he noticed nathan discomfort. They were heading back to his home not far from were he bump into nathan. "What about the L'Amours? What their story?" Nathan was now too curious to know more. "Are you from the community outside the city?""Yes." Nathan replied. "No wonder you were clueless to everything here in the city. Here help me with my books." Kelv
All of the general's had gathered together in the board room for a meeting on their next move in the capital. The Capital wasn't only just the tallest building in the city but also the heart of the city. Nothing happens in the city without an official order from the generals. While they were discussing on how to upgrade the system, the leader of the security guards interrupted them. Explained to them how urgent it was that made him interrupt their meeting. But when he mentioned the name L'Amour they all went silence. "Did you just said L'Amour?" One of the generals asked. "Yes sir." The guard replied. They stared at each other then back at the guard. The generals consist of eight men and four women who put head's together to protect the city and it's inhabitants. Each of these twelve have their roles to play in the city. Mr Fredrick the first general was in charge of giving the final order. The city was mostly under his command. His order is always the final one. The second in
"Ladies, Gentleman please clam down let it not be a common boy came in here claiming the name L'Amour is causing you all the trouble." Everybody settled down on hearing his voice. "Now boy either say something or I ordered you be thrown out of the building now. You have one minute." Fredrick said. Nathan became even more scared but he knew he had to say something before he get kick out and that would be a shame to have come there without success. "Sir, it's my mother, she dying I need your help please." "And what made you think we would help?" Fredrick asked. "Actually she asked me to talk to Mr Luke. She said you would know her and you can help.""I..." Before Mr Luke could get a word out of his mouth Fredrick interrupted. "He is not helping, you should go now." Fredrick ordered. Everybody turned to look at him. "But sir these is my mother I'm begging you help me please. Please sir, I'm begging you all help me, I shall forever remain in your debt. My mother is all I have I
"Hey man come on walk fast." Simon called out to nathan who was way behind him. He wasn't even making any attempt to walk fast. "Mhmm about that how long are we gonna take? Because I need to go back to my mother as soon as possible." Nathan said trying to get simon to say exactly where they were going. "Man you need the f**king money or not?. Simon asked, pissed off by Nathan's clumsiness. "I need it but I'm equally worried about my mother. I don't even know you or where you are taking me." Nathan caught up with him. "Relax ok we are already there, just two turns from here we get to the other side of the city, it much easier to trade there." Simon said and pulled him along. He light a cigarette and offered nathan who refused him. They finally made it to the other side of the city which wasn't exactly what we could be called beauty. It was like a dump arena. Abandoned by the generals who didn't care about anything but themselves. The whole place was a mess, the smell
