The mont I turned, I froze.
Rows of guns were aid squarely at , their cold steel glinting ominously in the faint light.
My stomach dropped as I took in the sight of the people holding them.
So wore sleek, futuristic suits that shimred faintly, brimming with energy.
I recognized those imdiately...
They are Awakened.
The elite fighters who had abilities far beyond ordinary humans.
The others were clad in standard military uniforms, their weapons steady and expressions grim.
I knew exactly who they were.
They are Regular soldiers.
This was one of the novel's specialized military units, trained to handle small outbreaks, monsters, and threats like the infected.
Which, apparently, they thought I was.
"Who are you, no. What are you?" one of them barked, his voice sharp and authoritative.
"My na is Sky, I am a private, and of course I am a human and still is one" i said, due to the uniform I am wearing I knew I was in the military.
"We know who you are, but about you being a human, you don't look like one" another said
"As i can see, I have perfectly shaped hands, a handso face, and perfect eyes, two legs and I am still speaking properly, and my brain is still working perfectly fine" I answered almost mockingly which didn't matter currently.
Are these guys blind or just dumb, what kind of question is that.
"Let's get straight to the point, Are you infected?" An awakened man demanded, stepping closer, his finger hovering too close to the trigger.
Not good.
"I'm not infected, I am normal" I said quickly, raising my hands in what I hoped was a non-threatening gesture.
But they didn't seem convinced.
"How do we know that?" one of the soldiers in uniform growled.
"From what we saw you were just running from an infected. aning, you're already got in contact with it." Another asked.
"I'm not infected!" I insisted, my voice cracking slightly.
My heart was racing, the weight of their suspicion pressing down on .
"I killed the infected, Yes. It's dead. And I'm clean, I made sure to stay far from it, I swear!"
Things where already getting bitter.
They don't seem to trust .
"Mind to explain how you claim you are not infected" a man with dark red hair asked.
"But Sergeant Thomas, there is no use asking him about that, there is already a full evidence that proves he is infected"
"Silence" Sergeant Thomas shouted.
The soldier kept quiet, fearing not to speak, Sergeant Thomas faced and said
"Now explain and make it quick, I don't have all day, and rember you life depends on how you answer, so don't dare leave any important details or lie to , I don't joke around" he reloaded his gun showing he wasn't joking.
I know better than to do that.
Cause he sure will shot if I lie.
"I gave the infected soldier a long distance between us making sure it didn't get close to , to avoid getting infected" I said truthfully.
"You are saying that it just left you to go running, while you carried a gun and shot at it, without even attempting to attack you... What do you take for, are you trying to fool ?" Thomas spat out looking really annoyed and pissed off.
"No I am not. When it lunged at to attack, i dodge it, before it could regain itself I began running looking for sothing to kill it in it early transformation" I quickly answered.
This is going to be difficult.
"That doesn't explain why you may not be infected" Thomas said slowly with a grin.
Huh.
"What do you an, Sergeant" I answered keeping myself cool.
"You where running on top of dead soldiers who where killed by the infectious monster, aning they are probably infected and you carried a gun that belongs to one of them, you know what that ans..." Thomas said coldly.
"I am not infected, I feel okay, nothing is wrong with . I don't feel weird" I answered.
The awakened man earlier exchanged glances with the other few awakeneds, their glowing visors unreadable.
The man stepped forward.
His cyber suit humd ominously as if amplifying his rage.
"Enough with the excuses," he snapped. His voice was distorted slightly by the helt, making it sound even more nacing. "If you're infected, you're a threat. If you're lying, you're a bigger threat, in the end you are an infected nobody."
"I'm not lying!" I protested, taking a step back, but the barrel of his weapon followed .
"You've already wasted enough ti," the man snarled, raising his weapon. "I'll end this now—"
"Stop!"
The voice cut through the tense air like a blade, firm yet calm.
A figure stepped out from the group, her stance confident and deliberate.
That imdiately drew every gaze.
She wore a cyber suit like the others, but her visor was retracted, revealing her face.
She couldn't have been much older than maybe in her early twenties, Her golden hair shimred under the fading light, and her deep gold eyes carried a mixture of authority and warmth.
Her gold cyber suit clung to her slender fra, glowing faintly at the seams, the embodint of power and elegance.
Wait but why is everything gold...
And it looks familiar.
Her sharp eyes locked onto the man about to shoot .
"Don't shoot"
