Episode 1
Rebirth
In a
few minutes the structure of our society had collapsed. Everyone was trying to
find a shelter. After the official announcement, the great leaders of the world
we knew were gone and now we had to find a way to protect our families.
In a
few hours humanity turned back the time and was trapped in the ancient years.
There were no rules, the stronger would survive. But this time, there was a difference.
The enemies were stronger and superior to the human species. And soon, no one
would make it.
Have
you ever thought how it feels hearing the sound of the raindrops crashing onto
the ground? Have you ever come to a point where you felt helpless because you
were starving and you didn’t know how to satisfy the need to stop your hunger?
It
was like living an earthquake and the worst part was that my body was causing
that terrifying movement. My veins started shaking like dangerous snakes under
my skin as the blood was running like an angry river through the channels of my
cold flesh. And I felt hopeless since I couldn’t define my own body and control
my reactions.
Outside it was dark and had just started
raining. I could hear the raindrops crashing onto the golden leaves of the
large oak trees and could listen to the sound of their branches as they were
leaning toward our house due to the strong wind. I was still wondering about
their size, it was impossible to hear them so clearly, after all, they were small
trees. We had planted them in our garden a few months ago and there was no way
to have grown impressively already.
My
hunger took over again. I was so hungry that I could eat everything; I could
smell anything but nothing seemed to be good enough or useful to make that feeling
go away. Until I heard an owl coming closer and resting on the grey roof tiles
of our house. The moment I heard the heartbeat of the admirable predator I was
sure there was something wrong. It was like calling me to come closer to it,
like a silent and powerful magnet that had the power to attract every single
cell of my body.
The
next moment, I was sitting on the roof. The black owl was dead; I held her wings
and was disgusted. I had killed that bird; I had stolen its life and didn’t
care about the blood of it on my lips. All I knew was that I needed more; my
body couldn’t live without it. And I was not the same, not anymore. And could
do nothing but accept what I did, accept my new nature.
I
jumped from over fifteen meters to the ground and didn’t break anything. I
turned back and looked up, it was fascinating, it was crazy but it was
frightening as hell. How was I supposed to react? What the fuck was going on?
Where was Patrick? Why was I reacting like this and why could my body function
like being an alien?
I
heard their footsteps coming closer to me; they were walking on the wet grass.
I left my black hair covering my face and the darkness of the freaking situation.
I could smell death and disgust.
They came closer and they circled me. I looked their
faces but they didn’t seem like my neighbors. They were different;
there was no color into their eyes. They were not talking; their jaws were bleeding.
When I looked better, I realized they were not injured. What I saw a few
seconds earlier was blood, someone’s blood that happened to experience the
worst death of all. They had turned into beasts and now were ready to attack.
They were not talking, they were moaning and that was weird. They were following
their killing instincts, they needed food and now I was going to be their next
meal.
“What
happened? Why are we all behaving this way?”
It
was like talking to me. Six people came up to me and in a few minutes they were
all lying dead on the red grass. I had ripped out their hearts. When I left the
last one from my cold hands, I tried to throw up, but in vain. I was still
shocked. I moved like a flash and just tore their flesh apart like they were fake,
silicon dolls. I had never done that before; I had never attacked to anyone in
my whole life and had no idea I was aware of martial arts. That was not me,
definitely not me.
I
swept the red raindrops away my face and focused my eyes on the death I had
brought while coming back from my awakening.
These
people were infected by something, I was the beast and I had to find the
answers. I was shocked by my action and rushed to hide myself like I was the
victim of this madness. I rushed to find my old shelter; I went back where I
had found my consciousness and tried to remember what had happened to me and to
all of us.
