"We need to find Dean…" I murmured.
"Rei… you know it's too late for Dean." Noah said as he landed his hand on my shoulder. "This place is filled with them…"
"But it's not like we have seen his dead body! He could be alive!" Something's not right… even if Noah is on verge of going insane, he should still care about the last hope for vaccine in this try… maybe it's just my brain with bad memory again.
I was thinking too deep to notice something was approaching… by the time I noticed, was when a person let out a chilling shriek.
I turned my head, a thick mist near us. Apparently, some idiot has taken a deep breath out of that… turning into a monster. "Everyone put their suit back on!" We we're too lax… since the rain had stopped and we were inside a building, everyone has taken their suit off. Some even not bringing them at all. A fight broke out, the people who didn't bring their coat was fighting for it… Noah, Noah didn't bring his.
I glanced at the raincoat in my hand… can a MC die? Who am I saying that to… I'm the one that already wrote it as him dying.
I ran to Noah. I'm already one of them, what could go worse? "Noah, put this on right now."
"What about you?" Noah's eyes were weird but who cares.
"Put this on right now!" I shoved the suit at him. "I have a extra" I said that after I knew Noah wouldn't put it on without a fight.
"I know you didn't bring a extra"
"…" the fight continued as the most approached. But soon, the mist suddenly stoped only few inches away from us.
This mist… should be a power of an mutant… like how Mia could control the other monsters… this mutant one is…
"Dean" A whisper like voice came from behind. Liam stood there gazing at something in middle of the mist. I tried hard enough, finally I could make out a shape… Dean… this ability is Dean's…

"Do you really need a sample of my blood?" Dean cried out in fear as Liam picked up a needle.
"What do you think?"
"Ah... why did say I would volunteer in creating a vaccine?"
"Because if you didn't, the people would either kill you or lock you up so they can creat one."
"You, Rei, Noah, and William, are the only ones not scared of me you know? Well, William just doesn't care about those, Rei acts like he's like me, Noah seems to not care about anybody else other than Rei… I have a feeling you're the only one treating me like this even if you know."
"Your mistaken, I have my handgun ready just in case you suddenly turn." Liam patted his pocket that hold his gun.
"Pfft…" Dean couldn't help but let out a small smile.
The scene shifted.
The chilling night wind hit against Dean's face… "ha…"
"Why are you letting out a sigh?" It was Liam's familiar voice.
"Wha!!!" Dean patted his chest (still beating fast, and it isn't beating fast because of butterflies in stomach thing) with his right hand as he calmed down. "I'll die of heart attack!"
"Your problem, not mine." Liam smiled jokingly. "Still not asleep?"
"You know how people get stuck in their most painful memories once they turn… just nightmares"
"I see… uh… than dream a good dream? (Don't look at me like that! I suck at cheering someone up)"

"Dean…"
Ah… why do I have so many works that are almost due? ㅠㅡㅠ
