Seeing her become quite after what my brother has said, she still has her eyes locked on mines. While I could see the pleading, and also desperation in them.
Not being able to grant her request I advert my gaze causing her to sigh before saying "your...right they do want one more thing, but you have already done it and if you keep on doing it alongside rejoin the army. Everything will be all forgiven and we all can go back to being together again just like in the past...don't you want that, Cleo?"
Bitting my lips as I mull over what she said with memories of the past starting to play in my mind of when we all laughed to together, the times that we went out and had fun with our friends while we joke around only for it to be interrupted by an all too familiar voice. "Don't listen to her Cleo! Don't let her weaken your resolve! you have us here to back you." Widening my eyes as tears left them to see someone taking off their helmet having their hair flow down as they had a gently smile on their face. With shock showing on my face "b-big sis...sister is that really you...?"
Seeing her gentle smile on her face while she let the helmet she was wearing hit the concrete street as others did the same as well. Looking at all of them it was the remainder of my former squad while they all showed smiles and smirks on their faces, for another person to walk up beside her with a smirk on their face.
Causing the tears to flow even more I stutter "B-Ben" as he just stares at me before saying "you didn't think it would be that easy to get rid of us, did you?" Wiping my tears as I shake my head "then what took you both so long...?"
Suzanne: Cutting in before he could speak again "Cleo, please don't let this once in a chance opportunity go, it lets us be together again...just come back with me."
Looking back at Suzanne then to my family and then to my big sister alongside Ben with our old squad members. As the tension built between the two forces to where you could even taste it. As it has me 'why...why did it have to come to...this.'
(3 years ago, before the outbreak)
Cleaning out the science club room of our ex-adviser things that was left with him now no longer working at our school. They didn't give us an actual reason for his departure. While I was putting the last of his viles in the boxes I grab a vile that has this weird tent to it, that was a merger of green and orange. Bringing it closer to my face to look at I get startled when the door suddenly opens and I heard my name be called.
Causing me to juggle the vile before having spilled it all over me, having the vile hit the ground. While it caused a giggle to escape from Sky the one that startled me. Causing me to pout when I'd turned to look at her.
Skylar: Seeing Cleolani pouting expression I stop while a smile shows on my face while I'm walking over to her "okay...okay I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you; I just came to check on you while the other girls finish packing up their things."
As I go to reach into my bag grabbing her uniform from out of my bag while I "here you go why don't you go and change in the bathe room, and I'll take this to the trash before meeting you at the gate with the other's."
Nodding my head while I take my uniform and my bag from her as I smile giving her a kiss on her cheek for her her to just smiled at me before I headed to leave the room.
(In the school bathroom)
Washing my face, I lift my head to notice that one of my eye's has changed to purple while the other stayed its original color causing me to blink for it to go back to its original color. Having me think it was just a trick of the mirror or lighting; I had gone to change my clothes. After changing clothes as I'm straightening out my shirt, my phone rings while it was sitting on the sink. Seeing who it was I pick up saying "hey Sue I'm heading my way out of the bathroom now to come met you all at the gate."
Suzanne: "CLEO! COME TO THE GATE NOW! HURRY! OUR PARENTS ARE HERE ALREADY WE NEED TO GO NOW!"
Hearing the fear and desperation in her voice a feeling of worry starts to build having me say in a concerned tone "S-Sue what's...what's wrong? did something happen to one of the other's." But before she could answer my attention gets drawn to someone shambling into the bathroom causing me to.
"Hey Sue, I'm going to put my phone down someone has come into the bathroom, and they seem hurt or sick, but I've put you on speaker."
Running over to the other female student as I caught her before she fell as I heard groans coming from her. While over the speaker I could hear Sue shouting "CLEO! CLEO! GET AWAY! FROM THEM RIGHT NOW! CLEOLANI IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE WITH THEM! CLEO!"
Hearing what Sue was saying I turn in the direction of my phone so I could respond only to be pushed against the wall by the girl as she lifted her head. Having us locked eyes for me to see her purple eyes as her skin had gotten paler before she tried to lower her head to bite me.
Causing me to yell "AHHH! GET OFF ME! WHAT ARE YOU DOING AHH! SUE...SUE HELP ME! AHH! SHE'S TRYING TO BITE ME AHH!"
Trying to shove her away from me only for it to be futile making me hold her away from me by her shoulders, while she viciously tries to bite me. With us both trying to jockey for control we end up falling to the ground with her falling on top of me, while we continue on the ground. As we roll back and forth with her finally being able to pin me on the ground.
With it feeling as if she was getting stronger and stronger the longer the tussle goes on, I yell "GET OFF OF ME! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! GET OFF OF ME ALREADY!"
With her getting closer and closer to my neck fear had started to make itself known with the thought of me dying starting to seep into my mind 'no this can't be happening...I... I don't want to die...not like this...no...no! I don't want to DIE!'
As if answering my desire, I felt a shift in my body as if a renewed strength or power had just awakened inside of me. Allowing me to use my feet to kick her away but to my surprise the power of the launch from my kick was a lot stronger than what I had anticipated. Causing her to go towards the ceiling having her neck jerk valiantly as the sound of her neck cracking could be heard, while she left a deep impression in the ceiling. As she had gotten stuck in the ceiling leaving me more than stunned.
