Fabian smiled...
*******
"What's wrong with him?" said an old man in disgust, staring at the unconscious boy lying inside the chamber. He sighed and shook his head before leaving the doctors to try and save the youth's life.
"Will he be okay?" asked Marcus. He came crashing through the door with a sad expression. His eyes were restless and he had black circles underneath from fatigue His legs were shaking from exhaustion. He was given better clothes when he arrived at the gates of Norfolk Town. They wouldn't let him in until both he and the unconscious Fabian were tested.
His arms fell to his side and his legs buckled. Not long after, he collapsed from the lack of sleep. He had to wait hours in the testing room after arriving at Norfolk. He had carried Fabian for 1 and a half kilometers.
"We still don't know what's wrong with him," said a female doctor. She had her hands behind her back. "We think it's something internal... something phycological..."
"So he has to battle the pain by himself!" said another voice. Marcus turned around and saw an older, wiser doctor standing over Fabian's wax-white body. His breathing was quiet but uneven.
"You two have been through a lot, haven't you?" asked the doctor, understanding passing through them. Marcus could tell the doctor had been through a lot to be in the position he now held in society.
"Yeah" Marcus muttered, staring through the glass. On the other side, Fabian lay unconscious, oblivious to their conversation.
"My name is Doctor Niemen, by the way," said the female doctor.
Marcus nodded with a sullen look.
"When your friend gets better... I think there's a place you should go..." the doctor said, full of thought. She crossed her arms and smiled. "It will be difficult but rewarding! If you make it through, you might be helping humanity survive... this!" she cried, going up to a window and lifting the blind, revealing the state of the world.
"What is it?" asked Marcus, raising his hopes. He had arrived in Norfolk Town. The supposed safety place for everyone living in the North Nation. The place humanity will be rebuilt. Reborn. They will take it from step one. Find a cure...
"But how will they do that if they can't survive future waves of the Apocalypse. Who knows how the undead is changing... evolving into more distorted, more powerful creatures..." Marcus wondered, shivering.
"It's called the Elite Hunters Academy," Doctor Niemen said, starting to get excited. "All the under eighteens, orphan or not, who cannot fight the threat, will go to the EHA and train there for two years and train to become an Elite Hunter, who will go out into the world and kill the undead and protect those who are still alive, the ones who cannot protect themselves!"
"I think I would like to sign up for this!" Marcus said enthusiastically. "I'm tired of being used all my life! I need to become stronger and have a purpose!" he muttered.
"Let's just hope your friend is as ardent as you are," said Doctor Niemen, sighing. "I think the government will make it compulsory soon..." she said, before turning around. "Oh, you may check on your friend now. He should be awake soon" she said with a melancholy smile. She left the room and closed the door behind her.
As soon as Marcus entered the room, he felt the air get heavier. He felt his movement get slighter and slower but he made his way towards Fabian. Something allured him forward, closer and closer to Fabian. As he sat down next to him, Marcus noticed that sweat had started to form on his brow.
"Huh? What's going on?" he whispered, wiping the sweat away. "Fabian, are you awake?" he said, gently tapping him on the shoulders. As soon as he did this, Fabian's eyelids flung open. Marcus jumped back.
"F*ck, Fabian! You scared me!" he cried, laughing uncontrollably. But Fabian remained quiet, his face was emotionless and as pale as chalk His black hair had a tiny green that Marcus was yet to notice.
"Marcus?" Fabian croaked.
[Unique Quest Started]
"Yeah?" Marcus answered cautiously, leaning back on his chair.
"Do you want to possess power beyond your wildest imagination?" Fabian slowly asked. He said it as if he had been possessed by a ghost, a shell of his former self.
"I... guess so?" Marcus answered, confused and freaked out. He had never seen Fabian like this. "What happened to you, man?" he asked, standing up.
"It's a yes... or no question, Marcus..." Fabian continued, his face looking at him from an awkward angle. His eyes were wide as if he had seen something that kept him in a permanent state of shock.
"I don't know..." Marcus replied.
[Host has activated Hidden Skill: Voice]
"YES... OR... NO..." Fabian's lifeless body growled, but his face remained dead and emotionless.
"Yes. The answer is yes... Master!" Marcus screamed. He didn't mean to say it, but a mysterious force was making him obey the voice. He no longer had any control over his thoughts or feelings.
"Good... very good..." Fabian's voice muttered. "Now, come closer, Marcus!" he said, a small smile forming on his face. His expression had finally changed, which creeped out Marcus further.
"No..."
"I said, COME CLOSER!" Fabian repeated with a growl, his face turning into a sneer. His eyes shone a pale green. It emitted a green light from his eyes and mouth.
Marcus once again lost control over his body. His arms shook as he fought to mysterious urge to follow Fabian's command. "No... no... NO..." Marcus cried as his head was flung towards Fabian. His eyes stopped just above Fabian's eye line.
Fabian raised his hand and slowly moved it along Marcus' cheeks. As he did so, Marcus tried to scream in fear, but no sound came out. Fabian smiled at him sweetly, stopping right underneath his eyes.
Fabian closed his eyes and envisioned green blood circulating through his veins. Then the image turned into Marcus' veins. He felt the crimson blood changing into a green hue. "Yes... you are mine now!" Fabian said with a laugh, and his fingernails cut open Marcus' eyes...
