AYESHA POV
"Aye, your face looks like a zombie," Cess said with a grimace.
When I'm really talking to this person, my head really hurts.
"Be quiet, my head hurts, or I might not be able to control myself from hitting you." I glared at her, but the little girl just laughed at me. It's like she thinks I'm joking with her.
"Your head is so hot." I just rolled my eyes and continued eating. People eat up whatever they're told, "By the way, did you see the video I sent you?"
I nod, saying, "Thanks to that, I'm not sleepy anymore."
What do you think about the video?
I don't know, I can't tell if it's scripted or real.
"Gurl, I'm vibin'! But, like, when I peeped inti the other video? It was hella scary, gave me the heebie-jeebies!" I confusedly looked at her.
Another video? Its only one video though
"There is no other"
"Gurl, my bad! Thought u were chillin', didn't wanna buzz u" she took her phone out of her pocket and started tapping on it.
Me? Sleeping? Huh! Why don't you ask my eyebags
"Peep it" she handed her phone to me.
*Play the video*
["Where already far away i can't see him anymore"]
["Ughhh"]
["Leo you okay?"]
["I t-think I'm having a fever dan"]
["You're kidding me! Are you serious?"]
["Ughh I'm s-serious dan"]
["What?? let me see if there's a medicine here"]
While the man called dan looking for the medicine, the man name Leo who has a fever suddenly vomit
["Leo!! f*ck you're vomiting blood?"]
["D-Dan i-it's so c-cold"]
["Maybe that f*cking bats bites have infected your eyes"]
["I d-dont know, s-so cold, so cold"]
["W-W-Wait I'm looking for medicine"]
While Dan is looking for a medicine the sound of the bats is getting louder
["Why the hell that bats is? making so much noise"]
Dan put the camera in front of him while he was looking for a medicine but leo behind him suddenly stood like he was not shivering a while ago
["Leo!! I found the capsule here you need to drink th—"]
When the man looked back, he found Leo looking back at him, his spilling blood all over his mouth and it cannot be seen on the camera but there is something on his left eye
["Leo are you okay? w-why are you looking at me like that?"]
["Arghhh.....raaaaaghhhhhh"]
Leo started to make a loud noise and he was screaming like crazy that made dan cover his ears
["Leo!! stop that!!"]
["AARGHHHHH"]
Leo starts attacking him, his fighting back but this Leo is so strong. He drops the camera and in this angle he kicks Leo in the stomach and he escapes and grabs the stone at the ground. When Leo starts to run toward him he smashes the stone into his head that makes his friend collapse to the ground. He was crying and calling his friends name but theres no response
["No...I-I killed L-Leo I'm a m-m-murderer"]
Then suddenly Leo starts to stand again like there's nothing happend. Dan was so frightened on what he was seeing because he checked Leo's pulse and there was no heart beat but suddenly this Leo in front of him is standing like nothing happend.
["I-impossible"]
["Aarrrrghhhhhhh"]
["Ahhhh"]
Dan repeatedly smashed the stone to the head of Leo until his brain came out he was looking at his hands and he was shaking uncontralable.
["Im sorry im sorry"]
While hes grieving at his dead friend, a sound from a bat was heard again . And something was moving in the bush. Dan grabs all his things, also the camera and runs in the opposite direction of the forest. Until he ended up in the side of the river namay malakas na agos. He sat beside the river and held the camera with his trembling hand.
["Hi viewers.... I don't know if i can still post this video and leave this forest alive...But if anyone found this camera.....and retrieved the memory please upload this..... c-cus right now i can experience....the fever my friend had experienced"]
Dan covers his mouth and suddenly he vomits blood like his friend
["I-I was bitten by Leo"]
He showed the bitten part of his arms
("I don't know.....what's happening but I'm sure..... that this forest is hiding a virus...and right now..... that virus is spreading.... in my body")
He starts to feel cold
("S-So i will make this...this river to send my message... to the world")
His eyes color is starting to become grey
("B-before this virus... s-spread p-please b-burn.... t-this f-forest")
His head is starting to tilt like a zombie. He put the camera into the river, the camera is slowly sinking but you can still see Dan's gradual change until he suddenly stands up, seemingly out of control, screaming, and the camera completely sinks.
*End of the video*
"That's hella spooky, right?"
"Don't fall for that, it's just a tactic they use to get more viewers. A lot of people are doing that nowadays. More viewers, more money." I said, stretching my whole body.
"What if it's legit, fam? Gotta do some sleuthing"
If that's true? Well, that'd be great, fewer crazy people in the world
"If that's true, maybe you'll be the first to get bitten because of your slang words"
I stood up from my chair, grabbing my bag.
"Whatcha headed?"
"To the library, I have something to finish"
I b-bye'd and left the cafeteria. Sigh, my head still hurts. Maybe I'll go to the clinic first to ask for some meds.
I'd better go, this might get worse
••••••••
"Good afternoon" I greeted the nurse at her table
"Good afternoon too, young one. Do you have a fever too?" the nurse asked, furrowing her brow.
I thought it was kinda random
"N-no, I'm just asking for some meds for my headache"
"Ohh, I thought it was1 another fever patient. Earlier, there were students coming in one after another with high fevers" the nurse explained
Here's the translation:
Nurse you can tell it to me later, I need some meds
"Apparently, they had an experiment in the science lab and their test bat suddenly escaped"
The nurse just kept talking, and my head was already hurting
"A bat?"
"I don't know either, I know aside from rats and frogs, there aren't any other animals allowed for experiments here. That Professor Lei is just too stubborn"
What the...? So that was the bat we brought to the lab?
"It's gone out of control, bit and scratched three students, and now they're running high fevers"
Woah! We were lucky enough that Stevan didn't successfully open that box if he did we will be the one who's laying on the clinic bed.
"So are their parents gonna pick them up?"
"No, they're being taken straight to the hospital. One of them is vomiting blood, and their fevers are super high. I'm getting worried" My face suddenly scratched in concern at the nurse's words.
High fever, vomiting blood? Sounds like that video I saw, doesn't it? Maybe it's just a coincidence. But... this question will clear my doubts, right? Can't hurt to ask
"They're not, uh, freezing cold or anything, right?" I asked, making the nurse furrow her brow
"No they are not why did you ask"
"Ahh, nothing, it just popped into my head"
"Oh, that's enough chitchat, you might catch their sickness. Take this, do you have water?"
Ehh?, I only asked once and you're complaining already?
"Y-yeah, I have some"
I quickly left the clinic and took the meds. Maybe it's really just a coincidence
