Chapter 447 - Stronger then an Emperor (1/2)

Once again, Slyvia had fallen to the floor, only this time it looked like she had passed out from the sudden injection of the three syringes.

'Why would she do such a thing?' Martha thought, confused as she rushed over towards her. Then as soon as she was within attack range, something jolted in her body. A shiver ran down her spine, and every instinct was telling her to get away. She had paused for a second, not wanting to take a step further.

”What's wrong?” Roy asked. He was still at the back of the room. The only reason he hadn't quite run to her aid was that he was waiting to see what would happen. Who knows what was in those injections that they so desperately wanted them to take.

Now seeing Sylvia on the floor like that. He was thankful he didn't give in just for a small meal. However, a few seconds later, and it looked like she was starting to wake up. A few groans here and there and her arms started twitching.

”You're okay,” Martha said with a smile.

Lifting her head up, Martha gulped she could see she was not okay at all. Her left eye no longer had any white in it, for it had completely been taken over by a purple shadow, and it looked as if it was starting to creep into the other side.

'No, is she becoming a true infected?'

”Hey, stand back,” Roy said, as he finally got the courage to pull Martha back to where he was.

Sweat was heavily running down Slyvia's forehead, and she was gritting her teeth as if she was in great pain. Inside, she could feel that a force was trying to take over her.

'No! I won't let you!' Slyvia thought.

She could tell something wanted to control her. The fight and struggle continued back and forth. Slyvia now was screaming once in a while and pounding her fist on the floor.

”Did the liquid make her go mad!” Roy commented.

Martha couldn't take it anymore. No matter what happened to her, she needed someone by her side. Breaking away from Roy, she dashed over and was with Slyvia in seconds. The same dreaded feeling was being felt from Slyvia as she got close again, but this time she did everything she could to ignore it.

And then she went one further, grabbing onto Sylvia's hand.

”I know, I'm here sweetie. We all are, we can fix this.” Martha said. ”Ray will fix this.”

Hearing Martha's voice and feeling her touch by her side, was only making her fight that much stronger. Then the mention of the name Ray, added to her determination. She wasn't going to let this thing win.

Finally, after a few minutes, the sweating stopped. There were no more groans of pain, and Martha could feel that her hand was no longer being squeezed.

”Thank you.” Sylvia said in a soft calm voice with a smile.

But it wasn't all good news. When looking at her, Martha could still see that her left eye was still filled with shadows. Maybe they were able to suppress the shadow for now. But who knows when it would come back.

”Why did you take the injections, Slyvia, we still can't get out,” Martha asked.

”Something, someone was telling me too.”

”Who?” Martha asked.

”Something's coming,” Slyvia said as she stood up, and placed Martha behind her back. Before taking a few steps back towards the door. A few screams were heard from outside, but it didn't take long for them to stop.

A few footsteps were heard from just outside the door, and finally, the door that looked to be almost unbreakable. It was pulled open. Standing there in front of the door was a human type beast.

Its body and head were like that of an ant, yet it stood on two legs and was standing just like a man. The girls could see it was infected, and the shadows around its body would imitate that of a true infected.

It looked towards the three of them in the room, then looked Sylvia in the eye. The two made eye contact, and not a single person had moved. All three of them in the room felt like they could no longer breathe.

They had never felt pressure like this ever before.

With a blink, the shadow ant had disappeared out of sight. The pressure was lifted.

”I can't believe we just survived that,” Roy said. He now too was covered in sweat.

”What was that? Was it a beast, but it looked like a human, and a true infected at the same time.” Martha asked.
