Runner's POV:
I ran, hearing my brother's screams, fearing something got him as a saw cut my back. When I found him in another room..there was blood everywhere. With two bodies on the floor, a girl and...Jogger??!
"W-what..is this.."
Chemist:"Some guy killed him..."
I looked at him, seeing cuts from traps and other injuries..but no stab wounds..thank god.
Trickster:"No one knows who he truly is..but all I know he's a damn psychopath."
Now that just gives me an idea.. I whisper something to Chemist,which he thinks the plan is crazy and dangerous,but after killing innocent people..I just want to get this guy.
Zombie's POV:
Seeing Artist's now frail form on my lap, trying to help even though it's going to be impossible to find a cure or something to help.
"Stay awake..I don't want you to die on me..not like them.."
Street Artist:"Ok..-*Cough cough*.."
With his coughing,black red blood came out of his mouth and onto the floor. I just kept holding him, trying to keep him comfortable in the last hours. He tried to distract me from the current situation.
Street Artist:"Hey Zombie?.."
"Yes?"
Street Artist:"R-Remember that time I tried to teach you how to swim..?"
I began smiling a bit to that memory:
A few years ago:
"Are you sure you want to teach me this?.."
I stood at the edge of the pier,staring' at the water. I had just gotten a waterproof prosthetic because I had grown out of my old one,and Artist being a clever and sneaky friend,had tricked me into following him to the pier and secretly grabbed a shirt and shorts.
Street Artist:"Yep."
"Why couldn't we have gone to the pool?"
Street Artist:"Still being rebuilt after being struck by a bomb."
Artist,who had already changed into a shirt and shorts,jumped into the water. I stood there nervous as he resurfaced.
"What if I sink under?.."
Street Artist:"I'll make sure you don't. Just count to three and jump."
"Ok..1..2..3."
I jumped in, waiting for the impact of the water as I pinched my nose shut to not get any water in it. My head went under for a split second as I felt someone holding me up, keeping me from slipping under.
Street Artist:"You ok?"
"Yeah..thanks.."
We began the lessons after that. Everything went fine for an hour until..
A wave struck me and,while pushing me to the wall,I cracked my head open. I sank under while my head began to bleed. Flashbacks began hitting me over and over again:When I had gotten hit by the bullet,the feeling of pressure sitting on my chest,and being unable to breathe or move. I snapped out of it when..I was pulled up, coughing and throwing up water.
Street Artist:"Are you ok?! I'm so sorry about this.."
"I-It's ok.. I'm ok.."
I could not stop shaking. Even though I had grabbed a towel and wrapped it around myself,I couldn't stop.
Street Artist:"This was a horrible idea to begin with.."
"Actually..it wasn't very bad. It was pretty fun.."
He smiled as I noticed red cuts on his arms. I knew that they weren't on accident but..I didn't want to ruin it. It was one of the only times I've ever seen him smile in weeks.
Street Artist:"Heh..thanks Zombie."
"You're welcome.."
End of flashback.
"Yeah..I remember."
He began to cough even more blood. I held him as he kept coughing and coughing until..he passed out. I begin to panic.
"Artist! Come on.. please wake up! I don't to lose you.. please.."
???:"I think I can help.."
I turned my head over to The Scientist,who was holding what looked like medical equipment.
"How..?"
Scientist:"Found this in a hidden book..it says the only thing that can help..is to do a blood transfusion..or something like that."
I looked at Artist,who could barely move at that point, and looked back at Scientist.
"Let's do it.."
Scientist:"Lay him on here."
I laid him down on a mat,then laid down on the other one.
Scientist:"Oh no.. you're going to let me inject the stuff into you?!"
"Anything to protect my friend.."
Scientist:"You'll be killed though!!"
"I'm willing to die to make sure he doesn't. Just get it over with already.."
He hesitated..but he grabbed the syringe,first injected me with it..then put it in Artist's arm. Then he did the opposite.
Scientist:"There.. I'm so sorry.."
I looked at my arms,which were starting to turn blackish-purple,and looked at Artist,who was starting to wake up. Strange light started to fill my vision. I realized I was dying as I felt everything going numb and nothing really hurt anymore.. I'm just glad I protected my best friend..now knowing he'll live.
"I..forgive you Scientist.."
Everything went dark.
