It's cold... wh--where....am I...?

Noelle slowly opened her eyes-- a blurry fog clouding her site. She blinked a couple of time and felt her headache sink in. Her body felt strange, like she was beaten up. Noelle looked up and all she could see was a strange angle of her legs, a type of wire around her ankles, blood dripping down her ankles, and the ceiling. Where was she? Noele shivered and looked down-- realizing why her head hurt so much. There was a pool of blood below her-- shaped strangly as if it was dripping into a puddle. Noelle was hanging upside-down. God, where was she? Noelle blinked a few more times before taking in the images around her.

Just a few yards away was the black 2008 Jetta Noelle was driving. It was on fire and crashed into a wall of this still unknown building. Noelle head suddenly hurt more-- she couldn't remember what had happened. Was Cody with her? Noelle sighed and tried to remember. She was driving... that much was apparent but where was she driving to-- or from? Noelle made a light moaning sound and closed her eyes. She was driving back to Russia-- but she saw a little girl run into a strange building. What did that little girl look like-- why was she running? Noelle looked around the steel like building and sure enough she saw a little girl, strangly proped up aganist the wall. The little girl had rich brown hair that looked to be as long as to her middle back. Her face was very child-like, maybe she was under fifteen years old, she looked seven. Her small body was dressed in a white dress with blood all over it....

Noelle closed her eyes-- that little girl was dead and Noelle had been the one to try and save her. Noelle sighed and looked back to the black Jetta. There were claw marks across the paint in random places like someone was trying to hold onto the car. Noelle's memory flashed over the events. Noelle was trying to save the girl-- who was sitting in the passenger seat. But she wasn't wearing a white dress. She was wearing a blue sweater and jeans. Infected had ambushed the car causing Noelle to crash. Absently, Noelle looked around again-- she saw the skid marks across the ground and how they lead to the crash site.

Again, Noelle looked up at her bare ankle. The girl wasn't wearing a white dress and neither was Noelle. In fact, Noelle had jeans on as well-- why was she looking at her bare ankle? Noelle moved her hands up and touched the delicate fabric, pulling slightly to look at it. A White dress. What did the white dress mean and why was she wearing one? Noelle moaned again and searched her thigh for her knife-- it wasn't there. She checked her bra then-- there wasn't one there either. What the hell? Noelle moved slightly and gasped as the wire cut through her skin. God this was happening all over again. She remembered that time in Mongolia when she met Rey Makano. Her leg was wrapped in wire then too.

Noelle suddenly heard hissing and she looked down-- then was that male infected she had failed to kill back in Mongolia. His brown hair shifted in spikes in all different difections and totally wind blown. His eyes looked hungry and his lips parted as if taking in her scent. Noelle looked at him with a desprate look on her face, she couldn't pull a feirce and hateful look in her situation-- she was in way to much pain and already new she was trapped, she didn't have weapons either.

"Hello again," said the brown haired male.
Noelle's eyes fluttered weakly and her sight was starting to blur again, "P--please..." she whispered, hanging there helpless.
"You've lost a lot of blood, Noelle Stryder." the Male said.
Noelle's eyes fluttered again.
"Do you know who I am?" the male asked.
Noelle shook her head weakly.
"I'm Ryan Steller. We went to school together." Ryan said.
"R--Ryan....?" Noelle asked, she remembered him-- her ex Zeke hated him.. they hated eachother. "W--why...?" Noelle asked.
"Zeke is very determined to find you... and I'm determined to kill him. He'll smell your blood and see that you're dead. It's only a matter of time," Ryan said.
Noelle hung weakly and her eyes started blurring from the blood loss, "D--don't... do this..." Noelle whispered, "Cody....."
"Cody will manage without you..."
"P--please..." Noelle whispered and finally her body gave out. She hung limp and uncautious.

Rey sighed into the cold night air. He looked at the makeshift, gps Cody made back a while ago. "Cody...You make so strange stuff, but if this works to find Noelle..." Rey stopped in his tracks. He tried to remember how he got seperated from Noelle. They were raiding...And they seperated...Rey watched Noelle speed off with a girl in the passager seat of her Jetta. "Oh yea...Thats why I needed this thing..." Rey shruged and kept on the trail with the gps. It didn't pinpoint anything so Rey decided to poke around the city. He went into buildings and crept around until he came to the one where the Jetta had crashed. He found Noelle strung up upside down talking to an...Infected? Rey hid behind the car and took out his M4. He took aim but did not fire. He wanted to wait for the infected move a little further away from Noelle for a clear shot. Rey slowed his breath and kept his aim waiting for his moment within a shadow.
3 windows down, another infected stalked Rey himself from a few flights up. He paced impatiently. [glow=green,2,300]"Is that you boy?" [/glow]He muttered to himself. [glow=green,2,300]"You will show me the results...I've finally tracked you down to here, and instead of haveing to force u into a test, i find u admist one...Kill the bastered...Do it solider..." [/glow]The infected squinted down to Rey as if he could see him clear as day.

Ryan hit Noelle to wake her up-- which worked. Noelle opened her eyes, again exposed to the waves of blur in her eyes. Her vivid blue eyes seemed dazed as sheabsently moved a hand to where Ryan had hit her. She pulled her hand away and looked, sure enough-- her hand had blood on it. Noelle sighed weakly and looked down at Ryan, "S--stop..." Noelle told him in a soft and weak voice.
Ryan laughed, "Are you kidding?" he asked and smiled, "you look great in a white dress by the way." Ryan laughed.

Noelle sighed and rubbed her head slightly-- until she saw movement by her crashed car. The figure seemed massive-- muscular. Noelle blinked a few times and looked straight at the figure, "Rey...." Noelle whispered, feeling relief and pain.

Rey took a deep breath to not scream at the infected as it hit Noelle. As soon as Rey was clear, he took a shot, and shot to the Infected's throat, so focused and angry, that he was sure to hit.
Meanwhile, the Infected in the the building watched as the bullet hit into Ryan. He laughed evily as he turned to a few other infected with him and gave a few commands.
Rey moved away from the car toward's Noelle, knife drawn and crouched down. He just wanted to cut Noelle down, pick her up, and run until he found Cody...Wait a second... Rey started to think as he moved toward Noelle. Where is Cody?

Suddenly, Ryan hit the ground-- causing Noelle to gasp in fear. Had Rey done that? Of course he had since he was coming straight for her. Noelle closed her eyes and smiled slightly, her hand touching his long hair, "Rey..." Noelle whispered weakly, "You're... here..." she couldn't help but feel joyful-- even in the present situation. Noelle sighed and tried not to move herself anymore than she already had or the same problem from Mongolia would happen; Noelle would almost cut off her leg. She hated feeling helpless-- she wanted to be in the action. Noelle had no need or want in being upside-down tied by a wire and wearing a white dress that she still didn't know the meaning of. Her heart sank as she realized that Cody wasn't with Rey-- so where was he?

Rey climbed the pole and cut the wire til it was almost ready to snap. He jumped down and gave a small tug on Noelle so it did. He caught her and laid her on the ground, cutting the rest of the wire off then looked back to her with a small smile. "Looks like this time, ur leg isn't so banged up...Can u walk?" Rey stood up and put out his hand to help Noelle out, but as he heard a small shift, he turned to see 3 infected and their boss standing infront of him.
[glow=green,2,300]Splended job my boy...Most excellent on what i had taught you so long ago...But I did not intend for you to save people! Your supposed to kill them![/glow] An older infected, the leader of the small pack, hissed to Rey. [glow=Green,2,300]It is obvious, that you have forgotten what the Motherland wants of you! Your honor to her, and the empty clips![/glow] He hissed more. "...Lue...Luetenit Grulukavitch?-" [glow=green,2,300]-Major Grulukavitch! You can't even remember a rank! Come with me now! You must be retrained! Hurry up, stop playing this game, get bitten, join us as an infected, and help us to-[/glow] "I can't!" Rey raised his arm as a sleve rolled down revealing skin. "Your messed up testing has made me immune to infected bites...I can't catch it, but i can't cure it either...You said it yourself when you talked to Dr. Kravidge...Or did you kill him too?!" Rey stated intense. He raised his gun and took aim. "Back off! Tell your infected...Grunts...To stop drolling too!" [glow=green,2,300]"Only if you explain a few things...A, are you ready for your punishment for insobordination, and B, what is that delicious smell in the air?"[/glow] Grulukavitch took out a pistol and pointed it to Noelle. [glow=green,2,300]"Your smell I reconize...Her's is tastey...If i just blew her to bits..."[/glow] Rey quickly stepped in the way of fire before Grulukavitch pulls the trigger. The Major puts away his weapon. [glow=green,2,300]More of this nonsense? Rey...Project R...You will get yourself killed along with her if you do not follow my commands! Now get out of the way or die!"[/glow] Rey kept his stare to the Major. The Major raised his arm, to ready his infected for command. [glow=green,2,300]So be it![/glow]

"N--no..." Noelle muttered. She didn't understand the situation but she did understand that a gun was just pointed at her and was now pointed at Rey. Not to mention that ONCE AGAIN Noelle's blood was the object of desire. Noelle weakly pulled herself onto her knees-- the stinging pain of her cut up ankles burning and sending the scent around the area-- not to mention there was a pool of Noelle's blood behind them. She crawled up closer to Rey, slightly infront of him and gasped-- her energy giving out. Noelle sighed and sat herself down again.

What was wrong with her? She felt completely useless right now. She felt weak-- and that irritated her. Usually Noelle was a strong person, but now? It was as if she was in Cody's position. Angered with her weakness, Noelle stood up on her bare feet-- pressing them aganist the cold concret of the ground. Her white dress lightly flowing to her mid thigh. There was a bold ring around her ankles from the wire that seemed to be the most dominant part of her besides her vivid blue eyes. She looked strong-- but still breakable in her wounded and white dressed state.

The Major hissed. [glow=green,2,300]"Your there! Human girl...You must of corrupted Rey...Thanks to him, it will be another long and agaonizeing process to get him back...A painfull process...Not for me, but for him...Rey know what i am talking about yes?"[/glow] Rey stared for a long moment to the Major's eyes, frightened by the thought, then angered. "I'm not going bac- Uh!" As the Major lowed his arm, two of the infected dashed past Noelle and grabbed Rey, tackleing him to the ground, as they start slashing and biteing like savages after a meal to eat. Rey screamed in pain as he tried to fight them off. The Major walked slowly to Noelle. [glow=green,2,300]"You my dear do not know what you have gotten your self into...[/glow] Grulukavitch traced a finger across Noelle's cheek and laughed, pushing her with one finger out of his way and walked over to the ravaged corpse of the barely still alive Rey. [glow=green,2,300]"I still need you alive, but you must be taught your place!"[/glow] The Major pointed to Rey then to the sky, as the infected picked Rey up to a standing posisition. Rey was so batter up, he could barely see. He put his hands up out of desperation to defend himself from further attacks. [glow=green,2,300]"Good good...Just as i taught you!"[/glow] The Major tightened his gloves and started throwing body punches to Rey, fast and hard. Then, as Rey keeled over, he hit him square in the face, and forehead. Rey stood staggered, ready to topple over, but the Major was quick and decided to end it fast, takeing a leap back, then chargeing a hi speed punch straight to Rey's chest, which sent Rey flying to the ground as he laid motionless. [glow=green,2,300]"Hahahaha! Your pethetic as always! Maybe ill go ahead and kill your little girlfriend too![/glow] The Major looked to Noelle [glow=green,2,300]"No...I havent had a decent female in weeks...Oh Rey...If you don't get up, ill just have to violate her, slowly, first, ripping off her dress, then haveing my way, testing this new infected strength on mine on her...I will rip her limb from limb after I'm finished with this human...Used up and no need for any other use...Hahaha-...Huh?"[/glow] The Major stopped in his tracks as something grabbed his foot. A blood covered hand kept him from moveing any more. This pissed him off and reset his focus to Rey. [glow=green,2,300]"You still defy me?!?"[/glow] The Major started to stomp Rey until Rey let go of his foot. After, he took Rey by the neck, and tossed him into a window of a shop. [glow=green,2,300]"You, go grab the project...You, grab me a towel for me shoe...He got blood on me..."[/glow] The Major kept his back to Noelle, forgetting completely she was there.

"No!" Noelle yelled stumbling back as the infected wisked past her and tackled Rey down. She turned to stop them then realized that her gun was on the whole other side of this abandoned building. She looked around close to her for anything she could grab-- nothing. Noelle glared at Rey's Major, "I've currupted him? Are you sure you haven't already done that yourself!?"
Major turned to Noelle then, " You my dear do not know what you have gotten your self into.." he traced a finger across Noelle's cheek then pushed her aside. Noelle turned to see where he was going-- to Rey obviously.

Totally angered Noelle looked around for a weapon-- anything. Still nothing close enough. Then Noelle's attention went to Major as he said he would kill her. Noelle's eyes widdened desperatly and she took a step back. Her vivid blue crystal like eyes shifting from where rey was, to the infected that were watching her. Suddenly, major started laughing and stated he would rape her first then he'd kill her. Noelle gasped and looked at Rey, stopping major from comming any closer to Noelle. She took another step back and looked away as Major started stomping Rey.

Then Major looked away from Noelle and to his infected people and Rey-- giving them orders. He had completely forgotten Noelle was standing there. She took this as an advantage. If she could run fast enough to the burning jetta she could get the gun that was over there. Noelle glanced back-- the gun plain in site-- then to Major, who was still not paying any mind of her. Noelle took a deep breath and took off toward her car. She made vary sure they she wasn't breathing to hard-- even though her wound was hurting very badly on her ankles-- and she made sure that her steps were quiet. However-- Noelle's bloody scent was flying across the room through the air-- something she couldn't stop.

The first infected found a towel in a near by shop and started to clean the blood off of the Major's shoe. The heavy sent of Rey's altered blood covered up Noelle's sweet smelling blood. The other infected dragged Rey out bloodied up and motionless. [glow=yellow,2,300]"Major! The project is dead!"[/glow] The infected shouted. The Major turned to the infected and smiled. [glow=green,2,300]"The perfect project...Even acts dead to escape the clutch of death..."[/glow] The Major walked up to Rey and picked him up by his hair, takeing him from the infected, then grabbed him by his shirt. [glow=green,2,300]"Observe on why he is more valueable to me then any other infected...He seems dead enough right? Ready to be devoured...Your wrong..."[/glow] The Major hissed. He took out a knife and grabbed Rey by the hand and stabbed him deep laughing. Rey started to moan in pain as his conciousness slowly came back out of his own induced coma. The Major smiled. [glow=green,2,300]"Girl...Your little game is over now...I will kill you and...Huh?"[/glow] The Major looked back and saw Noelle had gone for her gun. The Major pulled out his own and pointed it to Noelle, then grinned and pointed it to Rey as he fully woke up screaming in pain as the infected held him down, licking at his fresh wound. [glow=green,2,300]"You there! Girl with the gun! My gun is closer to Rey's head! He can die you know! If you don't care for his life, then why does he care for yours?! The project i trained wasn't ment to feel! Now here this! If i kill him, i will have a replacement...You would do just fine! Or maybe you have another one of you around...I smelled your blood! Before i got here, not too far off, there was another who smelled like you! What of his fate?!? To end up like Rey's? My own personal toy solider?!?"[/glow] The Major shouted to Noelle.

Noelle swiftly picked up her gun and aimed straight for Major-- when he struck one important nerve in Noelle's body. Major had a gun to Rey's head. Noelle stared him down, not willing to bring her gun down just yet. He would obviously be able to kill Rey before Noelle's bullet could even reach him. She paused a moment to think of her options. What could she do? Nothing really. Major was just too quick for her. Noelle's ankles didnt make this situation any easier either. She sighed and lowered her gun and listened to Major's words.

Bang! He struck another nerve in Noelle-- taking her from Cody. If her being his little toy would keep Cody safe then so be it. Then he stabbed a nerve deep inside her-- her only reason for wanting to live in this damned world-- Cody. He would use Cody for his next toy. Cody would be lifeless... drugged... hurt. Noelle threw her gun down and took several steps forward-- anger raging through her, "No!" she yelled at him, "You are NOT taking my brother from me!" She shook her head, her anger pulling her to tears. Just thr thought of Cody being lifeless... it hurt...

The Major cocked his gun and gripped Rey by his hair putting the gun to Rey's neck. [glow=green,2,300]"Then listen to me! To spare your brother's life, I will be takeing Rey now. He will take Cody's place and be my puppet, suffering through everything I was going to do to your dear brother! Besides...Don't you have other things to worry about? I smell more infected who are not with me...Where is your little brother? Save him possibly? Or save Rey? Either way, I'm going to make sure i finish this project. A younger subject would be more usefull but..."[/glow] The Major grinned and spoke in a heavy Russian accent. [glow=green,2,300]"Rey is the only one who has lived through my expirements so far...So...Your helpless...And if you don't act quick, your brother's demise could be your fault too! If I recall, you were dangling by ur ankle to be used as bait...Sure helped me catch what I wanted!"[/glow] The Major snickered then turned to the infected. [glow=green,2,300]"We are leaveing...Take the project to the infected hideout...Make sure he doesn't bleed too much, and throw him in that special fridge in the blood room."[/glow] [glow=yellow,2,300]"Sir!"[/glow] The infected hissed and started to drag Rey's corpse to an open area so they could jump. The Major watched, pleased with his victory.

Noelle watched as the infected dragged Rey away-- every heart beat she had seemed to have a name to her. Pulling her to one or the other. An argument. Cody.. Rey.. Cody.. Rey... Cody. It was a never ending cycle. What was she supposed to do? Major had her in a spiderman situation-- that one movie when he had to choose between the bus full of children or the love of his life. Noelle hated Major for this.

Pick Cody right? Who cared about Rey! Cody was far more important right now-- he was the future. Noelle had to keep Cody safe. But Rey... Rey was Noelle's everything right now. She loved him....
Noelle turned her back to Major and closed her eyes-- she couldn't do anything. She took a deep breath and whispered, "I'll find you Rey... I'm sorry..." she took in another breath and tried to think of a postive. There were none. Well.... at least Major wasn't going to rape her and tear her to shreads. Noelle nodded to that-- that will have to keep her mind on Cody until she gets far enough..

The Major turn to Noelle before he took off. [glow=green,2,300]"Oh girl...One more thing I might add. Your...Other...Boy friend is on his way fast. I can smell him! What was his name...Zeke? Our queen doesn't take too kindly to him anyways...It matters not to me. For soon enough, I will be the leader...Leader of an army that never dies!"[/glow] The Major laughed and turned away, jumping after his infected soliders.

((Sorry for the short post...Headache ya? Mixed with a loss of muse...Kinda not into it today.))

Noelle gasped the moment Major mentioned Zeke was comming. A flash of shock lit her vivid blue eyes as she anxiously looked around. She had to find Cody-- god knew where that kid could be. What if Zeke had him? Noelle's head started beating faster and suddenly she started forgetting her ankle's were wounded. Nothing mattered-- not even Rey's capture. Cody could be in danger.... Noelle glanced around and gripped her gun tighter. She couldn't see anything from where she was. Major had already left. Some help he was-- he could of at least told Noelle where Zeke was comming from. She should of shot him when she had the chance....

With a long sigh, Noelle turned for the opening of this building and sprinted for the exit-- readying herself to find Cody and to fight. However she was going to be major infected bait because of the trail of blood she was leaving behind.
