Chapter 9 ~ Forgivness
I stood up and stared into their eyes, or where the eyes are supposed to be al least, covered by the masks. I could feel Ghost standing tense, he was trying to not lash out at them. I crossed my arms and squinted my eyes at them.
"Listen, Mini..... We can, uhh, explain..."
Fuck you Marcel. I don't need no explanation. I trusted him way too much. He gave out my biggest secret.
"Fuck you, Marcel"
The five of them looked taken aback at my comment. Mostly because I knew his real name and Marcel just realised what he did. He looked down and rubbed the back of his neck. All of the others were staring at him in shock and anger.
"Listen...."
He started to explain the situation.
"After I found out you were.... immune..."
I tensed up at the word, but didn't say anything, the others noticed my stiff posture.
"I realised that you were in danger...."
I narrowed my eyes at him.
"What danger?"
"There is this guy..... Forming an organisation to eliminate the immunes, for an unknown reason. Like I said, I realised that you were in danger. Before you say anything, let me just tell you. This fucker is stealthy as shit, you can only hear the wind blowing as he passes by, making no sound. His favourite weapon is a knife. He is ruthless and will stop at nothing. If you manage to spot him first without him spotting you, he will be merciless. You have to believe me...."
I was staring at the ground. Who is this guy. Why the hell is he doing this. Shouldn't he be trying to help?
"-INI!"
What was that?
"CRAIG!"
Oh, Marcel was calling me. Wait... He called me by my real name.... I looked straight into his eyes and if looks could kill, he would be double dead right now. He realised what he did and covered his mouth, backing away slowly. I took a step forward towards him. He seemed to be scared as hell. All of the eyes were on me. I was feeling really uncomfortable.
'Remember what I said will happen if you say my name....?'
Marcel's face scrunched up in pain and he fell to the ground, covering his ears. My stare was so intense it could have possibly burned a hole through his head by now.
"YES! I KNOW! I DIDN'T MEAN TO!"
'Why the fuck did you say it then?!"
He clutched his head tighter and squeezed his eyes shut.
"Im sorry! Im sor-sorry..."
I felt extremely guilty.
'Please don't do shit like that again! I forgive you, but please don't...'
"I WON'T, I SWEAR!"
I stopped invading his brain and he dropped his hands to the ground, panting. All of the others were staring at me.
"What?!"
They just stared at me until Evan spoke.
"So your name is Craig?"
"Oh, shut the fuck up, Evan."
"Whoa, Chill, That name suits you, just sayin'."
He raised his hands in fake defence as I just stared at him for a moment. I sighed and took my backpack. The all looked at me curiously.
"Are you just gonna stand there or are we going?"

It felt very weird walking on the ground for so long. I could tell all of them noticed my uncomfortable state.
"What's wrong, Mini?"
I looked down and blushed slightly, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Uhh, just not really used to being on the ground for so long...."
"Why do you always like high places anyway?"
"Less risk of danger, better vantage point."
All of them nodded. There was a bit of an awkward silence until I heard a strange grumble.
"Stop!"
All of them froze and stared at me. I looked at the ground and listened again. There it was again, only louder this time. MY eyes widened. Shit.
"Hide, quick!"
I grabbed two of them by the hand and somehow managed to grab another one by the hoodie, while Ghost pulled on the other's leg. I pulled them with me into the high bushes with two trees, providing great cover. I put my finger over my mouth and and made a 'shh' motion. As we all looked over the edge carefully, we saw the most dangerous infected.
The Hunter.
~~~~~~~~~
The Hunter has nails that grew out and became a foot long claws on both hands, eyes were red and it looked like a human, except those two features. This was the smartest infected, therefore the most feared. It can mimic any sound and has a very sharp sense of hearing. Its smelling sense is not the greatest, and it is practically blind. If you didn't have enough time to find a hiding spot, be as still as you can be. Pretend you are a tree or something, and eventually it will go away. Did I forget to mention that those things can run as fast as lightning?
~~~~~~~~
Soon, the creature dissapeared and we all breathed air into our lungs.
"What the hell was that?"
After a short explanation, all of them stood in awe.
"How the hell do you know this stuff?"
"I was..... being experimented on by Mike. Or rather known as the 'Experimentalist'. I was in his labs, chemicals tested on me, stuff being explained..."
"I see, were you the only one?"
"I don't know.... We should get going if we want to make it by dusk."
"Yea, we should."
We all brushed ourselves off and started walking again. We made it to base just as the sun was setting. Their base was literally a military base. High concrete walls with barbed wire, a large building in the middle and a couple of tents around.
"Well, Mini..."
I looked at Evan.
"We welcome you to Camp Survival."
