Choose your own horror (for reals this time!)

Alright, some of you may recall [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=26626598]this thread[/url] in which I essentially took a character, gave him zombies, and made the whole thing a total farce. That was all well and good, but I think I owe you guys something a bit more serious this time around.  I know I've been saying this for months now, but this could literally be the last thing I write on this board before I'm gone. So, in the spirit of Halloween, I give you the revamped (pun intended) and revisited "Choose your own adventure"...horror style.(All rules in [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=26626598]this thread[/url] still apply) ----------------- Kevin woke up with a throbbing headache.  He could barely remember anything about last night.  All he knew was that he had gotten drunk, met a girl, it was a full moon, and then everything else was blank. Vomiting in the toilet made his hangover a little better, but he still felt sick.  When he looked in the mirror, Kevin's eyes were drawn to several long scratches on his neck.  He shrugged, figuring it must have been a wild night. He walked into the next room and sat down on the sofa.  The television was already on and Kevin saw a breaking news story about some sick people in Los Angelas.  He changed the channel.  [i]Everyone's sick in Los Angelas[/i] he thought to himself. To his surprise, the same news story was playing on that channel, and every other channel he flipped through.  "What's this?"  he muttered.The newsanchor was in the middle of a sentence, "to please head straight to the hospital.  Proper measures will be taken to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you." At that moment there was a knock in the door.  Kevin opened it to see several polices officers standing before him with grim expressions on their faces."Hey...is something wrong?" The officer closest to him nodded, "We need you to report to the hospital."  Eyeing his neck, the officer suddenly drew his baton, "Please don't resist us, we're trying to help you." "Uh huh," Kevin said slowly, staring at the baton with a heightened sense of anticipation. [i]Should Kevin:1. Resist the officers.2. Go to the hospital peacefully.[/i] [Edited on 10.26.2008 3:23 PM PDT]

  • Kevin let out a sigh, "Fine, but only to prove you wrong. I'm not sick...and I'm [i]not[/i] a vampire." Eileen nodded, "I certainly hope not." They walked back to Kevin's house and got in his car. As they drove to the hospital, Kevin asked, "How did you get here anyway?" Eileen smiled, "I'm a fast runner." "Uh huh, and you just happened to know that that thing would be at my house?" Eileen let out a sigh, "I've been tracking this creature for a long time. I thought it was a werewolf, but it never turns back into a human." "Ya, maybe that's because [i]there's no such thing as werewolves[/i]," Kevin muttered dryly. Eileen ignored that and continued talking, "Now I don't know what it is, but I want to find out." "Well, whatever happens at the hospital, I'd like to help you. That thing's real, whatever it is." They pulled to a stop outside the hospital and Kevin entered to find the building packed with frantic people. He noticed several of them had scratches on their necks identical to his. A doctor was standing on a table with two soldiers by his side. He cupped his hands and shouted, "Everyonhe with scratches, or any other form of bite mark, please proceed through the doors to my left! Do not push, shout, or do anything to agitate each other!" Kevin looked at the soldiers in surprise, "They called in the army?" Eileen nodded, "Right now, the hospital is the most dangerous place you can be." "That's comforting," Kevin muttered as they followed the line of people through the doors. They waited in silence for a half hour as one by one, people went through the doors. Kevin found himself growing anxious when he saw several people come out crying, and some people not coming out at all. For the first time, he started to wonder if there really was something wrong with him. He turned to Eileen and asked, "If I'm sick...can they cure me?" Eileen looked at him for a moment and then said slowly, "I don't know." The hopeless expression she gave him made Kevin shudder. And then it was his turn. Kevin walked through the doors with Eileen close behind. The doctor was waiting for him with a haggard look on his face. "Sit down," he said firmly. Kevin obeyed and watched as the nurse drew some blood. "This will only take a moment and then we'll have the results." Kevin waited anxiously and then said, "Can't you just tell based on my symptoms?" The doctor shook his head, "All three strains of the virus start with the same symptoms. Increased strength and heightened awareness. Higher levels of testosterone leading to a greater tendency toward violence. But it's when the later symptoms show up that you find out who you really are...and then it's too late." Kevin nodded slowly, realizing that this was real. Whatever the virus was, it was making people into something different, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to find out what. "But you can cure it?" he asked. "Depends on what it is...and how far you're willing to go." The nurse handed him a piece of paper and the doctor eyed it carefully, "Are you ready to hear this?" Kevin nodded, "What's wrong with me? Where did these scratches come from?" [i]Was Kevin bitten by a: 1. Zombie? 2. Vampire? 3. Werewolf?[/i]

  • The doctor shook his head, "You have what we have referred to as [i]Lupine's Syndrome[/i]. Those scratches on your neck came from an infected wolf." Kevin stared at him and then asked, "What do you mean by infected?" The doctor let out a sigh and then said, "Some scientists were doing genetic experiments, none of it legal. They were trying to splice humans with animals. One event led to the creation of what we refer to as vampires...blind humans with supernatural strength, echo-location, and with the raised testosterone levels, hunger for blood. Your instincts are more akin to that of a wolf...or in this case, a werewolf. Heightened senses, the ability to run for hours without tiring, decreased eyesight...that sort of stuff." "So what...I'm going to turn into a wolf-man?" The doctor shook his head, "Don't be ridiculous, you've been infected with the strain that caused the first 'werewolf' to go insane. However, the original is the only one who was spliced with a wolf, creating a modern day werewolf." Kevin held up a hand, "Hold on...I'm going to go insane?" "If the symptoms continue as they have with the other patients...then yes, you will go insane." He looked down and muttered, "The vampires are more lucky in that regard...just be glad you aren't a zombie. They have to be put down immediately!" Kevin grabbed the doctor by his lab coat and slammed him against the wall, "I'd be much happier if I was healthy. Now you're going to make it happen." The doctor's voice raised in pitch as he said quickly, "Obviously your testosterone is kicking in...but there is a man who can help you." "Who?" Kevin shouted. "The original designer of the gene splicing technology, he might be able to help you." "Go," Eileen said quietly, "I'll take care of that creature. You take care of the scientist." [i]Should Kevin: 1. Find the scientist? 2. Go after the creature?[/i]

  • Kevin nodded and lowered the doctor to the ground. "Thanks Eileen, I'll catch up with you when I can." Eileen nodded and quickly scribbled her cell-phone number on a piece of paper before handing it to him. "Let me know how it goes." Without another word she turned and went out the door. Kevin glanced at the doctor and asked, "What's her story?" The doctor shrugged, "You're asking the wrong guy." Kevin nodded, "Fine, then where do I find this scientist?" ----------------- Kevin got into his car, realizing then that Eileen must be walking. He might catch up with her sooner than he thought. After all, the scientist was only in Los Angelas, a forty minute drive from where he was now. Kevin left the hospital, his focused on the road, on his mission. He didn't know what kind of sick man would experiment on humans, but he intended to find out and make that man fix whatever he did. The ride was quiet and dull for Kevin, who suddenly found himself missing Eileen's company. As he entered the city of Los Angelas, Kevin noticed a strange stillness about the city. The sun shone brightly down, but the place still felt dark and dismal. Kevin had to slam on the brakes as a group of people ambled across the street right in front of him. He growled and honked his horn, wincing as his hand left a permanent indent in the will. He'd have to learn to control his strength. At that moment, another human leaped from the window of a nearby building and landed in the midst of the other group. To Kevin's surprise, the man stood up, unharmed, and immediately bit into another man's throat, ripping it open and sending a fountain of blood across the road. The man tossed the corpse aside, sending it landing with a thud on Kevin's car, smearing the hood with the still gushing blood. The other humans turned on the savage man, grabbing each of his arms and trying to drag him down. The man laughed and held fast before spinning in a circle, bringing the two humans who had grabbed him off their feet. After several spins, he stopped and sent each dangling human flying in a different direction. Kevin watched him and muttered to himself, "That must be a werewolf...and those must have been zombies." With those humans dispatched, the man turned his attention on Kevin. [i]Should Kevin: 1. Fight? 2. Hit and run? 3. Talk?[/i]

  • Kevin licked his lips, the sight of blood exciting him. He got out of his car and grinned wolfishly, "Get out of my way." The man sneered, "I'd rather not." "Good." Kevin rushed forward at the same time as the man, balling his hand into a fist. As they were about to meet, he swung his fist forward but found himself hitting air as the man rolled underneath his blow and popped up behind him. Kevin stumbled forward, off-balance, and the man leaped on his back, bringing him to the ground. Kevin felt the man's teeth tear away at the skin on his back and he screamed in pain. Quickly rolled over and grabbed the man's head before he could pull back, then slammed his forehead into the man's nose, drawing blood. The man blinked, dazed, giving Kevin the chance to quickly roll over again, putting himself on top of the man where he continued to pound his fist into the man's face. The more blood he saw, the more enraged and excited Kevin became. The man had become unconscious yet Kevin continued to pummel him mercilessly. Several flecks of blood flew into his mouth and Kevin found the taste intoxicating. Without thinking, he brought his mouth down to the man's neck and tore away at his jugular, reveling at the sweet taste of fresh meat in his mouth. Letting out a primal scream Kevin continued to feast on the man's body. After several minutes, Kevin's rage subsided and he found himself thinking rationally again. He stared at the mutilated body and then down at his bloody hands. After another moment of thought, Kevin vomited all over the man's body. The mixture of puke and blood, along with the pungent smell--made worse by his heightened senses--caused Kevin to vomit again. Kevin quickly staggered back to his car and yanked the door open. He slid into the seat and closed his eyes, trying to block out the sight and smell of the corpses that lay strewn across the seat. After taking several deep breaths, Kevin slowly opened his eyes and started the car, wincing as the tires rolled over the dead bodies. Once Kevin regained his composure, he began to notice a peculiar pattern amongst the zombies. They all moved in packs of three and on several occasions he saw the zombies dragging a dead body into a building. Yet they didn't eat each other. Kevin shook his head, knowing that there was only one way he would get any answers. He reached the building that the doctor had directed him to and got out of the car. The dilapidated building didn't look like the ideal place for a mad scientist, but then, Kevin realized, no place in this ruined city did. He entered the building and headed down the stairs into the basement. When he reached the bottom step, Kevin felt a twinge in his neck and reached up to feel a dart brush against his fingers. After a moment, Kevin's eyes went blurry and he dropped to his knees. When his head hit the ground, everything went black. [i]Should I: 1. Keep going with the story tonight? Sleep is over-rated! 2. Start again tomorrow? Good things come to those who wait![/i]
