18 Palm of my hand chapter-18

Luther woke up to fine he wasn't in the college anymore but in a small room his eyes had to adjust but he then realised he was in his bedroom.He slowly got up with a burning sensation in his hand he quickly looked and saw that there was a small crack in his hand but no blood.He could also see a small glowing purple light in the crack he wonder what happened so he got up and opened the door.

He saw Zack asleep on the floor in his sleeping baghe clearly looked like he was in distress.And he saw Alex who was pacing near he kitchen and he was slightly shaking but then looked up to see Luther.He quickly ran to him hugging him as if he had been gone for years and Luther pated him on the back.

"What happened..why are we in my house and why..are you looking like someone died?"-LUTHER

"Dud we thought your were dead and we didn't know what to do at the time I mean how did you even survive..and what the fuck is that thing in your hand!?"-ALEX

"I Don't know what it's is but can you at least tell me what happened after I blacked out?"-LUTHER

"Sure..sure so basically we ran to you since we new you couldn't fight the zombie alone not even Zack could!"-LUTHER

"ok..and?"-LUTHER

"Well we heard what sounded like a explosion and when we got there all we saw was you unconscious.On the ground with blood on you and that messed up zombie body next to you"-ALEX

"Wait..what do you mean messed up..i mean it's a zombie of course it would be messed up right?"-LUTHER

"Well yea of course but this was way different"-ALEX

"Like what?"-LUTHER

"well it had these weird vines rapped around it's body and it's eyes were blown out and it had the top of it's head.Burst open from the inside with those weird vines coming out of it and I looked like it was feeding on the zombie beacuse it had this weird glow.To the vines like it had viens with a purple blood flowing through it"-ALEX

"Jeasus Christ really..what the hell..was there any vines on me?"-LUTHER

"Well in a way yes..beacuse the vines was coming from your hands and I think that's what made those weird crack in you hands since it seemed to get stronger the more it ate the zombie"-ALEX

Luther sat down for a second having to take in the information asking Alex for sure that he didn't see anything or was just making it up.

"Ok..So that weird things happened but what's up with Zack?"-LUTHER

"Well that's the worst part as soon As we came and picked you up the explosion that somehow happened attract a giant horde of zombies we were worried since we didn't know if we could take you with us beacuse we thought that the vines would keep you in place..but when we touched you they withered away"-ALEX

"Dud this hole things just screwed up..like what the hell is all this?"-LUTHER

"Yea..well anyway we quickly got our supplies and couldn't think of a place to go so we decided to go to your place as a last resort. But on the way Zack got a small scratch on his arm by a zombie"-ALEX

Luther's heart sunk into his soul one of his only friends risked there life for him and now they are going to die.Since he knew if you got scratched or bitten you were infected if they were lucky since if was a small scratch they could amputate his arm.But they didn't have the proper equipment he didn't now what he could do.

He walked up with alex and neeled near Zack who was sweating and had what seemed like a fever.But once Luther reached his hand out to feel Zacks temperature His hand started glowing brightly with a slight change.Which made Luther fall on his back were as Alex jumped back wondering what the hell was going on.

Out of Luther's hand 3 small green vines sprouted out of his hand stretching and bending towards Zacks zombie scratch.Luther wonder what was going saying "Alex what's my hand doing I can't stop it!"-LUTHER

"I don't know..it might be two things"-ALEX

"What..what is it?"-LUTHER

"Well it either your hand it trying to eat Zack"-ALEX

"WHAT!"-LUTHER

"Or..its trying to stop the infection..but that's only speculation and what I think"-ALEX

Luther stared at the vines reaching towards Zacks wonder until it latched onto the cut and started working.It's way throughout his arm you could see them moving in his arm beacuse of the.Outline they made whilst making there way through and as time went on more and more smaller vines started accumulating.And spreading out from the three main ones coming out of Luther's hand it seemed they stoped and then started retracting back.As what looked like small lumps were being dragged along until lumps of a green and black blood started pouring out.Of the wound sloping on the ground with some normal blood driving out of the wound next to the infected blood the vines that left the wound.And started working there way down to the infected blood whilst consuming pieces left on the vines.

Alex quickly ran to the wound whilst watching not to go near the vines or blood and stiched up the scratch.Whilst putting a bandage on it and some water just in case as this was happening the vines finished there meal.And sucked back into the crack in Luther's hand with the gen glowing again but not as bright as before.

Alex turned to Luther and said"looks like it was the second option..ha..ha"-ALEX said whilst pointing to Zacks face.Which had cooled down and wasn't sweating as much and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I guess were lucky since he was only infectedabout 2 hours ago and since it wasn't a big scratch it took longer"-ALEX

"Yea..thank God for this weird ass vine power thing"-LUTHER

"yep but seriously you don't know what it is or does?"-ALEX

"Alex all I know was there was this weird plant that opened up behind me and showed me that weird purple thing.And I took a chance and grabbed it"-LUTHER

"Guess we got lucky"-ALEX
