7.THE BEGINNING OF THE END

                         I stood for some minutes looking towards the dim screen as I can't see who was on the other side,I was tied to an operating table as Mary walked in with Dalia and they smiled while crying ,they looked at me and told me they would love to amputate the infected part but it is too late and they might find the cure soon,so she has hope,I wasn't allowed to touch her,after the bite I felt energized which was pretty scary and after a while, the doctors wanted to check my wounds,it has almost disappeared and they tied me to the table to find out if I was the patient zero or maybe a cure to the microbe,they even said the microbe does not even have a name or category,they don't know if it is a bacteria,virus or anything,it has structures not similar to any of it,that's why they are yet to find even.a Treatment or even a way to test people for.it,they watched me for days as they watched to see if I would transform but they saw nothing,then they released me as I was fully healed from the bite and every bit of the moment was hopeful as they rejoiced that maybe they have found the cure,then their general came to meet me and he told me I am going to one of their labs in Atlanta that has been overrun with zombies that I have . to find a specific formulae that a scientist has discovered to help them synthesize the cure.

When the general told me,I thought of the reason why I have to think I have offended some people for the general to be telling me to leave my loved ones and go on an impossible mission,so I wanted to object but I thought about a future where the world could return back to normal,so I kind of accepted it and the general told me we were leaving early in the morning to which I agreed to ,then I left the room,I went to meet Mary and she was crying because she knew already,she said she loved adventures and she had been on the lookout for the cure and she has left me all this months looking for something right in front of her and she wouldn't know if she didn't try to get me back,then I saw Kristen walked in and she called Mary her sister and I looked at her in surprise,then Mary told me ,she was her sister, Actually I didn't expect such a twist,but after she acknowledge herself as her sister And explained that when they heard I was not in any safe zone they had to find the perfect plan to get me to leave the apartment,She told me her sister could have left for the safe zone but she thought about using her to try and persuade me to come to the military base And when they saw I didn't want to leave,they had to send the couples too,now I started to wonder that how did they even know my apartment,which means someone told them,how could I not know,I hugged Mary immediately and I went to the military cafeteria with them,I chatted with some soldiers who seem to be interested in my case and mission,then the night was somehow boring,then I went to sleep hoping tomorrow would be a good day.

I woke up the next morning,in front of the general,I don't even know how they carried me to his place but he seems to be happy with me,so he welcomed me with some delightful food as they were preparing me for an impossible mission,so by 9am,I was ready,I didn't have much shooting equipment but I was ready to use my skills for survival.

So the chopper got launched and I boarded the chopper ,then I saw Mary waving and that was my inspiration,then after some few kilometers,I saw the lab,it was a CDC lab ,it had zombies like a 4 corner wall waiting to tear it down,so the helicopter landed on one of the buildings,then we alighted as some soldiers leave the base. In the helicopter,they rushed me into the lab and I saw how the soldiers were trying to kill the zombies in the lab,some of them got bitten and was shot dead too but the soldiers seems to be winning until the fence suddenly broke,The zombies started to overwhelm some soldiers,I had to tell the soldiers to leave in the chopper,when they asked me to leave with them,I didn't agree but I told them to leave a drone on the last floor inorder to send the formulae which they said it might not be possible since the lab is overrun but I smiled and I went in with a baseball and some guns,Everything seems fun at first until I was cornered in the two doors by zombies and the glass window in from of me has zombies waiting below too,I had to try my gun,then the zombies were almost overwhelming ,as I ran out of ammunition's,I started to use the baseball bat,when I was tired I stopped and started using the room furniture,the room was large and filled with furniture,then I saw a door,I opened the door to see more zombified soldiers which was horrifying and terrible I had to close the door but the soldiers pressed hard against the door that it was about to break,I continued fighting until ,A zombie touched me and I felt like we were connected,So after killing the zombie,I wanted to see if I can try to communicate with them which seemed impossible but looking at the movie "Patient zero",it looks so possible,so I calmed down and started to meditate ,the zombies continued to draw nearer and nearer ,until I said stop in my mind then they freezed and they were just looking like mindless machines,then I said leave and they started to go back too,I was like am I dead already why are they going back that how can I do something like that,it baffles me,I was like am I the patient zero because I think it seems so and for me to have telepathic control over them ,it can be so,I stopped thinking and I entered the lab,I saw the zombified doctor who was still human and partially zombified because he understands but can't speak human words,then I communicated to him and he took a blood sample from me after hours,the helicopter came back thinking they would have devoured me,they didn't see any zombie which they thought they had finished me,then they entered the lab and they saw me and the doctor,then the paused and wait when I told the doctor to try the cure which he did and he pronounced and said a word "Thank you",then we knew the cure was successful,then he hugged me tightly ,then a zombie came out from no where and try to attack a soldier,then I looked at the zombie and it just suddenly turned and went back,the soldiers looked at me with fear,they now know I had telepathic ability but they don't understand how,the doctor and I were extracted from the lab through the chopper they bought,then we landed safely at the military base,then the general told me,that I have a lot of work to do,then I agreed,the cure was manufactured in a lab in the base and they sent the formulae to some places around the world with outbreaks and the cure was manufactured multiple times,I was called to come to some states to help control the outbreak by telling the zombies to come to a meeting point for the cure,some zombies would take the cure and die ,since they don't have organs or body part for full human function again,then this continued for about A year and some months,but Mary had always been by my side and she always encourage me to give out my best,so I actually continued and finally the world was almost back to normal,after a whole year,everyone returned to their homes,and Everything seems normal ,then I went to my apartment which is now almost battered due to the zombies,then I cleaned it and repainted the walls and I moved back in,Kristen's husband was cured and he survived because he locked himself in a room after being bitten and turned in the room,so when the zombies broke down the door and found him,they. Couldn't feast on him and that's how he was saved.Those who were zombies before were given a barcode on their hand to always know them in order for safety,because people still believe that the cure might not last

After a whole year,the whole world was back to normal as businesses have returned people don't even want to remember that we were once close to our end with the zombie apocalypse,then I was walking across a street and I saw some guys who were about to shoot a young man,then I came in and I tried to stop them ,then the shot me in the hand which repaired ,then they shot me in the head and I fell straight down to the floor,they thought they had successfully killed me,then I just suddenly woke up and my wound repaired,the guys wanted to shoot then I said stop,then two of them stopped and couldn't shoot,they were almost mindless,then I told them to point gun at the other guy and they did then I called the police and we had that sorted out,then I went back home and I saw Mary, then I hugged her tight and we went to the balcony of my room and we stared at the Stars.

In my sleep I had a dream that my dad and mum came to me laughing,then I asked him what the blue light was about and he told me,he has been protecting me from a lot of stuffs ,ever since I have been born and it multiplied when I went to find him which I wasn't supposed to do,then that's why he took my mom away after I broke my leg and that's why the people gained the advantage of my blood and used it for an evil purpose and now they are coming for me,then they told me the next attack might not be easy and I should be ready,then I asked where they were and they said the infiniverse and I was like how did they get there and they smiled and went away ,then I woke up and held Mary's hand and I smiled and I slept off.

In a dark corner,it shows some guys who beared a similar tatoo to the boys I defeated earlier and they injected something into a zombie and released it and the zombie started to move fast and could run,then they locked someone in the room and In just 5 seconds after the person has been bitten,he turns immediately into a zombie that is even more violent and faster then the guys laughed hysterically and the screen blacked out.
