Ethan’s head pounded as the message blinked in his mind. **Save the female doctor.** His vision cleared just enough to see the young woman trembling, clearly terrified of the gang leader’s next move. Ethan pressed himself against the wall, straining to listen. He needed to understand what they were looking for and how to get the doctor out safely.The leader's voice cut through the silence. “You’ve got one chance to tell me what you know,” he growled at the female doctor. “This place was a research facility before everything went to hell. What were they working on here?”The young woman, wearing a white lab coat stained with blood, stammered, “I-I don’t know… I was just a lab assistant. They didn’t tell me everything—only the top scientists knew the full details.”The leader slammed his fist against a metal table, making a loud clanging noise that echoed through the empty halls. “Don’t lie to me! You were working here; you must know something!”Ethan watched as the doctor’s eyes darte
Ethan held onto Doctor Whitmore's hand as they raced through the forest. "Where are you taking me?" She shouted, trying to disengage her hands from Ethan. She noticed he was stronger and faster than she was. "Wait..let me..let me catch my breath." She said she was slowing down. The sound of the chopper could be heard over and over as the light flashed into the forest. The snarls of some zombies nearby were heard too. "We need to leave here. It is not safe. At least, for you." Ethan looked around the woods. "I am sure we are being chased by the leader of the gang. You need to save her. She would die if you didn't help me." Ethan looked at her. "I am confused. What is your name, and who are you talking about?" Whitmore asked again. Her lab clothes showed she had been tired and worn out from their present condition. "WWe saved a community, and there is a pregnant woman that needs your attention. She would die if you didn't help her." Ethan replied. "I managed to grab some of the too
Ethan staggered back, holding his head as the sudden pain surged through him. The voices around him became muffled and distant, as if they were coming from underwater. He could barely make out Kennedy’s concerned voice or Rachel’s frantic questions. The message in his mind burned bright, demanding his attention, and he stumbled away from the others, trying to gain his bearings.Kennedy noticed Ethan’s distress and quickly moved to his side. “Ethan, what’s going on? Are you okay?” He asked, placing a hand on Ethan’s shoulder.Ethan’s vision blurred, and he saw flashes of unfamiliar faces and places. His breathing was shallow and labored, and he struggled to form coherent words. "The system..."” he muttered, trying to make sense of the chaos in his mind. “Mission...completed…”Doctor Whitmore stepped closer, her eyes narrowing. “What do you mean,'system’? Ethan, what’s happening to you?”Ethan shook his head, trying to clear it. “I don’t know. Something’s controlling me. It’s like I'm..
Many of them looked at Ethan; they were all expecting him to remove the veil he had covering his face. Ethan looked around, and the looks on their faces showed they were not ready to see what he had to show them, but he needed to be accepted; he needed to know he wouldn't hurt any of them. Ethan slowly removed the cloth he had covering his face, and they all gasped. "What the hell are you?" One of the people shouted, and they moved back in honor of him. Ethan was different from Derek and his zombie soldiers. His face was exceptionally whitish, and he was looking more human. His eyes were blue, also showing he was more of a zombie than human.As the crowd gasped and stepped back, Ethan's heart sank. He had been afraid of this reaction. He looked at them with his piercing blue eyes, hoping to convey that he meant no harm."I'm still the same person," Ethan said, his voice calm and gentle. "I'm still the one who's been helping you and protecting you. My appearance may be different, but
Ethan's mind raced as he felt the warmth of Doctor Whitmore's lips against his. Her kiss was soft yet desperate, like she was trying to convey all the emotions she couldn’t express in words. For a moment, Ethan allowed himself to get lost in that touch, in the idea that maybe, just maybe, someone could accept him for who he had become. But then the reality of their situation crashed back down on him.Ethan gently pulled away from the kiss, his blue eyes searching Whitmore's face. "Why are you doing this?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion. "Why do you care if I stay or go? The rest of them want me out. Even Rachel can't look at me. You should hate me too."Doctor Whitmore took a step back, her eyes flickering with something Ethan couldn't quite place—hope, maybe, or determination. "I don’t hate you, Ethan," she said softly. "I can't speak for the others, but I've seen what you're capable of. I've seen you fight for this community, save people when no one else could. I don't kn
Ethan tried to look around, but he was blindfolded and gagged. He heard footsteps walking towards him, and the blindfold was slowly removed from his eyes. Ethan raised his head a bit, but the light that was shown in his face was blocking his eyes sight. "Who are you?" Ethan Daughter is facing the fire, standing at the back of the light shining at his face. "Who am I? I should ask, What are you? And what is your relationship with the doctor? Give her to me, and you are free to go." The voice behind the light said it again. "And why would I do that? You have what you want, didn't you?" Ethan shouted back, trying to cover his eyes, but his hands were tied down."I won't ask again; if you know what is good for you, then you are going to be a good boy and tell me what I need to know. She only has knowledge about making the cure, and not only that, she could make us all powerful. Think about it; we don't need to hide anymore. We could move freely without being scared of being eaten or sta
"Go and check him out." Barnet ordered his heart to thud within his chest. "Why don't you go? Must I always do your bidding? Don't forget, we are both partners in all of this." Zack shouted back at him, clenching his fist in anger. "This was my idea, not yours. I knew about the vaccine. So don't you try and tell me otherwise." Barnet looked at Zack. " Fine!" Zack shouted, walking closer to the door. He dipped his hands into his leather jacket and brought out his gun. With a drop of sweat coming down from his face, he opened the door, and Ethan rushed at him. He was fast and vicious. Zack let out a cry of anguish as Ethan's nails were ducking into his skin. Barnet rushed towards the noise and was surprised at what he saw. Ethan's face was vicious, and he had Zack pinned to the floor. He shot a few rounds at Ethan, and he fell to the ground, knocked out once again. Ethan laid cold on the floor as Zack got up injured. "Fucking bastard!" he cursed under his breath. Zack touched his f
"Johnny, once you leave now, please don't bother coming back." Kennedy said, looking at him as he was about to walk out of the main gate. "So, you think sending him out of the community is the best thing to do?" Johnny took a pause and looked at Kennedy. "Do you know what would have happened to you if we hadn't shown you in time? You lots would have been dead, meals and snacks for Derek and his men's. I wonder how quickly you forgot all about that. Are you coming?" He looked at Clara, who wasn't sure of what to do. Clara looked at Rachel and said, "HHow could you do this? He is your brother, isn't he?" She asked "He is no brother of mine. He is now a zombie, and god knows what he would do if he turned on us all." Rachel said coldly Clara couldn't believe her ears. "Did you just call him a zombie? Do you know what he had to go through to get to you?" "I can't believe this." Johnny said it with a smirk. "I hope you are safe without him because I know you won't last without someone t
