Ana was on top of me, scratching my face. Blood ran from my wounds as I laid there defeated. I felt real pain when she bit my neck, and I screamed when she tore out my flesh like a hyena eating its prey. Blood freely escaped, and there laid a man as he was being devoured by his own wife.
     I jerked from that horrible nightmare, as it almost scared me to death. The thought about that dream shivered me a lot. I checked my neck to make sure I wasn't someone's else food. Then I groaned when pain happily greeted me. The thought of sleeping made me to rest my head on the pillow, but the strange environment where I was alerted me immediately. I scanned the whole bedroom and concluded it was a guest's room, as there were no evidence that it belonged to someone else. My question was how and when did I get here. And as it turned out, my memories were coming back to answer my question.
     Blue and I quickly arrived at his house, barred the doors, and nailed wooden planks to the windows in order to prevent Ana's victims from invading the house. We made sure we scanned the entire house for any loop holes, which may serve as free entries for our mindless friends. When everything was secure, we fell to the floor, tried and utterly confused. We heard the shouts of innocent victims, and at 3:30 pm the noise seized.
     Blue bandaged my wounds, which I got when Ana taught me a lesson I wouldn't forget.
     " Sorry about your wounds. Are they that tough?", Blue asked.
     " Yes they are", I answered," And maybe much more".
     " Then we are in a big mess indeed. And to be honest I don't understand what's going on. Do you know friend?".
     Obviously I couldn't tell him the real cause of the Mutation Outbreak," I don't know", I answered," This whole thing is getting confusing Blue".
     Blue sighed," Tell me about it".
     I sighted a photo of Blue and the receptionist. Puzzled, I took the photo and examined it carefully, stunned that it was the same receptionist I met in the Hospital. Blue saw the photo and sighed:
     " She would have to be my fiance".
     " Really?".
     " Yeah. She worked at Morgan Hospital. She was the receptionist there. We were chatting online when she suddenly delayed for sometime before apologizing for late reply due to the fact that some patient was admitted into the Hospital. She went offline for about 5 minutes and then called me, telling me to quickly pick her off from the Hospital. I drove my car there, where I met people eating other people", he broke down with tears before continuing," I saw her and tried to rescue her, but she got killed by those things. I ran back to my car but some guy stole it. Then I was pursued by those things when you saved me".
     I paid close attention to every word he said. They were so touching and hearthbreaking when you listen to those sad words. This somehow taught me that I had to open up to him, as the latter didn't hold back anything from me.
     " What's your name friend?", Blue's question brought me back to our present situation.
     " The name's Joe", I replied," And I think we can get some answers to this problem".
     " Where Joe?", he asked, immediately interested.
     " First, we need weapons and mostly guns. Second, we have to get the hell out of here. And third, we're going to the government facility immediately".
     " Huh? Government facility? Why there?".
     " You want to get the answers of the breeding of these monsters?".
     " Yes. Really want to know how to tackle this problem".
     " Then we do as I say and get things done quick".
     " Ok Joe. There's nothing much we can do. When are we leaving this place?".
     " If possible, tomorrow".
     " But what about your wounds?".
     " They are nothing if we stay here compared to the adventure that awaits us".
     " Somehow this adventure of a thing isn't making me feel comfortable at all".
     " We don't know how long our 'fortress' will last. And so we have no choice. We have to get moving".
     Blue finally agreed to the plan, and we decided to use knives and other weapons of defense. We planned to go to nearest gun shop and take as many guns as possible. Somehow, with guns, all things are possible when you're going to take care of many mindless folks. My SUV might come in handy against Ana's victims and may also be our main source of transport. Whatever that's going to happen will happen. I wasn't afraid of what lied ahead. Sometimes someone needs to overcome his/her own fears. And that's exactly what I planned to do. After all, strike the Iron while it is hot.
     I yawned and felt sleepy that night. And still pain ran through my bones. Then another thought occurred. Why didn't Ana kill me? After all, she had me pinned, and was ready to devour me. Yet it was as if God decided to save me from her. I wasn't that religious though, but sometimes there were things like that that happened, things you can't explain yourself.
     Anyway, I pushed my thoughts aside and laid down for a good night sleep. Tomorrow wasn't going to be friendly at all.
