Left 4 Dead: the Cole Protocol
What's Going On?
As I watched one of my oldest friends die, everything went numb. The Chaos around me continued but all I could hear was my own heart beat. When I came back to reality I heard the yelling and arguing between everyone. "Everyone, Shut up!" Everyone went silent, "If we are to survive, we need to stop fighting!"
"Percy, calm down," Annabeth tried to calm me. I shrugged her off because i couldn't bring myself to look her in the eye after I had just let Nico die. I pulled out Riptide, and ran to a familiar face, Will Solace.
"Hey Percy," Will said to me.
"Will, What the hell is going on?"
"Well, about two hours ago this thing came out of the forest. At first glance he looked like just another camper but he was acting really weird."
"weird how?"
"Well, he tried to bite people, and eventually he did which sent the camp into a frenzy. More of those things came out of nowhere and now we are fighting them off until Reinforcements will show up."
"Reinforcements?"
"Yeah the Romans are coming to help us here, we just have to hold off until they come."
I couldn't help but think that if Nico were here he would've explained what was happening. Someone called Will from somewhere through the thick smoke and he went after the sound so i was left alone with my thoughts. I noticed Annabeth was behind me and had wrapped her arms around me.
"Look, I'm sorry," I said still not looking at her.
"I know you didn't mean it," she replied
"Look Annabeth, I Love you."
"I Love you too, Percy." She grabbed my shirt and pulled me into a kiss. The kiss would've lasted forever if I hadn't heard a scream.
"Why does that voice sound familiar?" I questioned then i remembered "Oh my gods, Grover!"
Omgs, an update is needed.
