'7 years later'
"Ash!"
Ashley turned around to see Reece running toward her. Once again, she felt a thankfulness that Damien's 'mum' label hadn't stuck with the kid.
"What's wrong Reece? I thought I asked you to stay with Private Peterson," she frowned. God, he'd grown so much since she'd first come across him. Not much had changed since then; the RAGE virus was still at large and CURE was still fighting it. Neither side seemed to be giving up.
"We were... attacked..." the nine-year old panted, putting his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath.
"What?!" Ash crouched to his level, checking him over quickly, horrified to find scratches on the boy's arm. She looked up at Reece's face; he was showing no signs of being infected... was it possible that his body had a natural immunity to the virus?
"You don't feel strange at all?"
The boy shook his head in response and Ash sighed in relief.
"What happened to Private Peterson?"
Reece's head drooped, and Ash felt her shoulder's drop.
"Never mind," she said, pulling him into a hug. "Stay with me, okay?"

"GO,GO,GO!!!" he cried as he ran forward.since the accident 7 years ago,'Sargeant' Damien Adren had returned to the CURE,3 years after the accident,Damien had returned to full fitness,and had also had a prostetic leg made exspecially for him.He ran forward,assault rifle blazing away.Numerouse infected attackers fell to the lethal hail or lead.his rifle ran dry,he shouldered the weapon and drew his sidearm,He fired the glock at an infected that had just lunged at him,the bullet entered its eye socket and exited the back of its head.It fell to the ground unmoving.

Ash straightened as she heard Damien's voice, taking her favoured pistol out of it's sheath and firing a few shots herself, before taking Reece's hand and tugging him along.
"Come on, Reece. Don't leave my side," she instructed as she began running.

The infected kept on coming,flailing arms and screams filled the Air.Damien and his squad put themselves between the onrushing zombies and Ash and Reece."KEEP FIRING!.Jenkins,Jeckophy and Haverson your giving coverfire when Ritson,Larkney,Jennis and Jenozo stop to reload!" he Screamed over the sound of discharging ammunition and cries of the approaching undead.Something put its hand on Damiens shoulder,without hesitation Damien drew his knife and stabbed it into the creatures head just as it was mere centermetres from his throat.It fell forward,its dripping mouth wide open in suprise,then its eyes rolled back and it fell to the ground...the person dying for the second time.

Ash looked over her shoulder just in time to see one of the infected approach Damien.
"Da-" She started to call out his name in warning, but he'd already noticed and quickly dispatched the creature.
She turned her gaze back to Reece, who was still running along-side her. For a nine-year old kid, he had pretty good endurance.
"Not far now..." she said, noticing the approaching van.
"Hurry!" the driver yelled to her.
"What the hell do you think we're doing?!"
When they both made it in the van, Ash gave her comrade a glare. "I think I realise this is not a walk in the park by now."
The driver shrugged indifferently before speeding off in the direction of Damien and his squad.

he saw the Van. "he held his hand up "GO GO! get out of here,we'll meet up with you at HQ later!!!" he snapped around to see Jeckophy being mauled by a small group of undead "SHIT!" he cried as he ran over to the group,brandishing his knife.He swung,the creature fell to the ground,its head rolling slowly away.The second creature fell,minus both its arms,and was quickly dispached by a booted foot to the face.The last creature grabbed Damien,but he was just too quick,he twisted,snapping both its brittle arms and causeing it to scream,he dove at it,knocking it to the ground,he brought up the blade and stuck it through the creatures face,twisted and withdrew it.its body shuddered but went still.He bent down beside Jackophy and withdrew a syringe,a newly developed vaccine to combat the virus,a scratch or bite was no longer lethal if you had access to these,but the vaccine was in short supply.Luckily for Jackophy Damien looked after his team mates.

Ash heard Reece give a whine of protest upon hearing Damien, but quickly gave the order to the driver to turn back and head to C.U.R.E.'s headquarters.
"We can't leave Damien," Reece said, bringing Ash's attention back to him.
Ash put an arm around the boy's shoulders, hugging him gently. "Damien's tough, he'll be alright. We'll see him at the base, okay?"
Reece just stayed silent, resting his head on her shoulder.

"GO GO!! back to the transport" he yelled to his squad,he picked up Jackophy and hefted him over his shoulder,he broke into a jog,his sidearm in his left hand.His squad was soon in the back of the large helicopter,covering him as he went."im ok to walk boss" said Jackophy mumble.He placed Jackophy on his feet "back to the chopper soldier" he said pushing the pistol into the young soldiers hand,he turned,nothing to defend himself except for his Knife.a huge wave of hostiles were advanceing on his position. in seconds they would overun him and kill everyone in the craft "GET OUT OF HERE GO!!!" he screamed to the pilot,who grimaced and pulled the craft into the air.He returned his attention to the zombies,they were all a mere 10 metres away now,at least 50 of them.He knew it was over,he thought of Reece,of Ash and his squad.he roared and plunged himself blade first into hell.

Almost as soon as the helicopter had landed at the base, Reece was amongst the C.U.R.E. soldiers, looking for Damien. However, when he couldn't see him, he quickly ran back to Ash, eyes alight with worry.
"I can't find him," he said, his voice showing his desperation.
Ash tried to conceal her immediate concern, scanning the crowd for Damien briefly.
"I'm sure he's fine, Reece," she said, trying to keep her voice reassuring as she looked down at the boy.
She caught an officer who had come off of the chopper, asking him about Damien. The soldier told her quietly of what he'd seen, so Reece wouldn't hear. Ash felt a horrible pang of dread in the pit of her stomach. Maybe she wouldn't be able to keep her promise to Reece about Damien.
"So what's being done?" she asked, to which she got a shrug in response.
Her face became set.
"Then I'm going back."

he lay on the ground,half dead in a pool of his own blood,a syringe protruding out of his forearm.it had saved him to an extent,but he was still dying,his side had been torn open and his insides where partially visible,blood trickled from the wound.On the side of his face,running from his temple to his chin was a large gash,which got deeper towards his cheek.All over his body where scratches and chunks of flesh missing,half his left bicep had been torn away and now flowed freely with blood.He drifted off,into a place halfway between coma and death.

Upon seeing Damien, Ash jumped from the helicopter before it had a chance to land properly. Somehow, she had convinced Reece to stay at the base and bullied a pilot and several soldiers into going back to find Damien. She rushed to his side, the fact that she was kneeling in a pool of his blood not seeming to bother her. A hand quickly went to the wound on his side, to try to slow the bleeding and stop his insides from spilling out onto the pavement. She was soon surrounded by other soldiers who attended to Damien's other wounds and got him onto a stretcher to quickly load him onto the helicopter. Ash had only ever seen him nearly this bad once, and that was seven years ago. Just as she jumped back into the chopper again, she sensed the presence of the infected, but they were keeping their distance. Ash frowned in confusion; what had them scared?...

He stood up again...awaking to a place he hadnt come to in 7 years,The darkness...A place where it was JUST dark...but he could still see himself...his hands as he looked down at them,as well as he could in the light.He walked forwards,searching for something...anything. But something found him,there was a whispering sound,he couldnt make out what it was saying but it kept getting closer,then he saw it, it flew in a twisting path, then it straigtened up and charged towards him,makeing a terrible shrieking sound that shook the ground where he was standing,then it hit him...and disappeared.And he woke up.
