Sequel to The Infected.
They thought life would change to better after the annihilation and chaos, since they had destroyed the maximum percentage of the problem. What they didn't know though, is where the heart of the infection begins. And the wors...
Unexpectedly, the water was warm when I walked in. Feeling my socks getting wet and my boots weighing me down added to my frustration but I just tried to ignore it. Harry, Zayn and Loki had already dived before me and Thomas, waiting for the rest of us to join them.
“Oh, it's actually warm, how nice.” Thomas commented lightly as he swam beside me, brown surprised eyes meeting my bored ones.
“How cool, right?” I said sarcastically and he nodded happily. This guy must be a kid in a man’s body, there's no explanation.
“Alright, Niall, let's go, watch the rocks,” Liam guided Niall, holding him by the arm as they both walked towards us. Niall suddenly stepped on something and fell underwater for a few seconds before Liam panickly pulled him up, “Shit, I didn't see the ditch-,“
“No shit, you got blinded too?” Niall scoffed, angrily shrugging Liam’s hand off of him before he swam forward, making me and Thomas move away to give him some space. Looking back at Liam’s tired face, I felt my heart sink with empathy.
“Don't go so fast.” Zayn said gruffly at Niall, who had swam a few meters away, near Harry and Zayn.
I looked back at Liam who came beside me, his puppy brown eyes meeting mine. “Don't be sad because of him.” I said gently, referring to Niall who has completely turned into a jerk.
“I'm not, I don't give a fuck, really.” He admitted, Thomas and I nodding. “I'm just really tired.” he added softly, adjusting the strap of his bag on his shoulder.
“We all are, but at least the lab isn't that far away, right?” Thomas said as we started swimming towards the others.
“Yeah, right.” Liam answered slowly.
I saw Niall bump on Harry's back, making him turn around and look at him with confused eyes. “Niall, you need some help?” Harry asked nicely, his voice firm.
“No, I'm fucking fine.” Niall spat angrily before swimming past Harry, splashing water around him. Harry's hurt eyes looked around as his face dropped with guilt once again.

“I will punch some sense into Niall, I swear.” I growled, earning a chuckle from Liam beside me.
“I had a few words with him a few minutes ago, he said he needs time to calm down.”
“No, he needs a kick in the balls.” I spat, glaring at the back of Niall’s head.
“Violence doesn't solve anything, does it?” Thomas said, glancing back at me.
“Says you who jumped on Zayn?” I retaliated, cocking a brow.
Instantly, Thomas turned to give me a blank look. “You and your fucking comebacks.”
