Journal of the Acoplayspe (12)
I woke up and was remind of the prison we are being kept in. A swish of the door opening caught my attention. The same 2 security guards from before pushed Lucas into the room. I stood up quickly but regretted it when a sharp burning pain spread through my shoulder. I leaned against the wall and stared at Lucas on the floor. Joey was by my side and he walked up to Lucas and bent down to his level and said "Give me one good reason why I shouldnt beat the crap out of you." The anger in is voice was so strong but I knew it wasnt him talking.....it was the virus. "Hey!" I yelled "Let's all calm down okay Joey come here.....please." I said Joey looked at me and walked over in front of me and said"What do you mean calm down! This-" He gesture to the room "Is all his fault!" He said pointing at Lucas
"No it's not! I would have down the same thing to protect my brother or- or you! It's the people who run this place it's there fault!" I yelled the anger and tension in my body was rising but a strange cooling sensation came over my body calming me down. I continued and said"We are all on the same boat here so we might as well work together....okay?" I said looking at Joey and then Lucas who was still on the floor. He looked up at me and nodded.
"Fine but if this jerk betrays us one more time I'm gonna beat the crap out of him!" joey yelled. And stomped off into a corner. I helped Lucas up with my good arm "Thanks" he said "I dont blame him for wanting to kill me.."
"He doesn't want to kill you.....he just wants to hurt you really bad...." I said
"Killing me would be better.....Promise me something... if-if-"
"No-No no no im not doing this again-"
" Teresa please....please if I try and eat anyone promise you wont let me become one of them please please kill me....please." He said pleading he grabbed my hands and squeezed them "I would do the same for you." he said
I looked into his eyes and could tell he was serious. "O-Okay....I promise." I whispered. The room fell dark and silent Joey was in the corner and it looked like he nodded off. Lucas and I sat against the opposite wall. He kept his hand laced through my and I didnt let go either. I put my head on his shoulder and he seemed to relax a little. "I'm sorry" he whispered
"Shhhhh....shut up and stop pouting get some sleep." I whispered back.
I felt him shift into a comfortable position and he put his arm around me. My heart slowed to soft ba bump ba bump and my shoulder throbbed in unison. I felt my eyes grow heavy and I fell asleep to the sound of Lucas slow heartbeat.

I woke to the sound of shuffling. Lucas was still asleep beside me. I slipped out of his arms and sat up. My shoulder was stiff. I look over at the corner but Joey wasnt there. I looked to my left to the source of the sound and saw Joey slowly shuffling towards us. His body movements were slow and his head was hanging slightly, like his neck couldnt hold it. I shook Lucas awake "What?" He said groggily. He sat up and saw Joey "Oh no" he said I stood with a grunt. My shoulder burned in the process. "Joey....." no answer "Joey..." Joey paused and his head moved slightly up a ragged inhuman voice came out of his mouth and said "Joey is no longer hear!" and joey lunged for me. "I yelled and pushed Lucas to the side. We fell on the ground and Joey ran into the wall. A speaker in the room said "We need to study your brain patterns and see how you react to danger and your friend here has already turned. We have decide to see how you react with him in the room trying to eat you....Good luck." I crawledcrawled and leaned up against the wall in shock. All sound drowned out I could hear my own breathing. "This cant be happening this cant be happening."I repeated. I saw Lucas in front of me and he was yelling I snapped out of it. "Get up Get up!" He yelled pulling me to my feet. I yelped from a burning stabbing pain in my shoulder. I looked over at Joey and tears welled up in my eyes. Anger that was not from the virus, anger that was my own rushed through my veins. Adrenaline pumped through my body and I made a promise to myself that I would torture the people who did this to us just like they did to us. I forced myself to look away and move to action.
