Blood Rewrite Part One - Disease and Backfire
This is just to get a feel of the world that these people live in. Scientists have made a horrible mistake now the world is overrun with these beasts that prey on humans. Can the human race survive? Or will we parish like so many species before us? There is some measure or safety in the future as six teens who are destined to save the world take their place in the world.
Okay so this chapter is just so you will know what is what for the next chapter. Oh and in the next chapter I will be introducing some of our main characters so I hope you keep reading :) and PLEASE leave a comment
After decades of experimenting, the scientists say that they have finally found it. It has been all over the news for quite a while now. They say that the tests went well and that they would soon be giving it to the public in needles. This 'medication' as people are calling it, once injected into the system is supposed to cause great changes in the body. A week after injection the changes should be complete. The changes that occur are all physical and all irreversible. It can have a variety of different effects on people depending on what DNA you have. Not many of these effects are known to the public because the scientists and the government do not want to raise a panic. Well, that's what they say. Everyone knows that the real reason that they won't say anything is because they screwed up and they do not want to admit it.
Even though we all know that there could be some really weird side effects, everyone is excited for its release. Almost everyone is willing to ignore the unknown side effects just because of what we know it does. You see, this is no ordinary type of medication. It was created to make the human race a better one. I guess you could say that they are trying to turn us all into super humans but that just sounds really cheesy. Besides, it's not exactly superhuman, it is more like improvement upon our species. What it does is, it makes us stronger, faster, and immune to all sickness or disease and it prolongs your life expectancy by at least ten years.
The scientists are keeping all of it locked up in various institutions located in secret locations across the world. This breakthrough medication must stay locked up and away from the frenzied public until any of the dangerous side effects are eliminated. Many people have already gone out in search of one of these top-secret institutions in hopes of getting some of the medication before it is all used up. There will not be enough for everyone and there will definitely be a price on it. So far, no one has succeeded at even finding the place, never mind breaking in and stealing the stuff. Those with brains in their heads are thankful for that. There would be complete and utter chaos if someone found the stuff and spilled the beans about where it was hidden.
Well, as most people know, all good things eventually come to an end. This came to a very early end. No one is really sure where the accidents first happened but it has been pinpointed down to somewhere in western Canada. All of the institutes across the world were doing experiments with the medication on a few selected volunteers. Similar things happened all across the world soon after it hit Canada. Just outside the city of Calgary, Alberta there was an explosion. There was an impossible loud blast that shook the whole city. The silence following the blast was almost as deafening as the explosion itself was. Only hours after the explosion, people started dying. There was no real reason for it as far as we (the public) could tell, people just dropped dead. One minute someone could be grocery shopping and the next they were collapsed on the ground. Dead. Just like that, no signs, no warning, just dead. Two days after the explosion over half of the city's population of about one million people were dead and it was spreading. A week after the explosion the truth about what happened finally came out.
Apparently an experiment went wrong and an angry test subject destroyed a storage room, where all of the medication and other various things were being stored and made a huge mess. There was some bizarre chemical reaction to some of the things that were spilled and the whole place blew up. The police told this to everyone who was still alive when they came to their homes to warn them that there was some toxic fumes still floating around in the air and it was not safe to leave their homes unless it was absolutely necessary.
It turns out that the massive explosion and toxic fumes were not the only problem in this city now. Autopsies done on the bodies of those who had mysteriously died showed that most of them had inhaled a lot of those fumes that everyone was being warned about. These people were not dead though, they were in a catatonic state to keep them safe while they changed. Exactly one week after 'dying' they would wake up but not as humans. The mixture of chemicals in the so-called 'medication' was too strong and even a few breaths of fumes from this stuff would cause violent reactions in almost anyone. It was found out too late that the only people who would survive exposure to this had a particular gene. Sadly this gene was so rare that only one person was known to survive it as a human. He was the only successful test subject and he escaped right after the explosion. Over half of the city had soon 'died' then lost all that made them human. These chemicals had changed them so much that there was not even one thing left in the 'person' that made them even seem human. The city was under an unofficial lockdown.
People would only leave their homes when they absolutely needed supplies. The attacks started soon after the lockdown was initiated. People would be torn apart and left on the streets or sometimes they would just disappear and leave behind nothing but a huge mess of blood. It did not take long to find out the source of these terrible murders. It was the creatures created by the disastrous explosion. They had finished going through their changes and they were hungry. They feasted on human flesh, bone and blood. They ate it as if they could recover their lost humanity if they consumed enough of the humans....it did not happen though. Nothing could return these beasts to the people they once were. Those who were still alive and human had named these nasty things. They called them Bloods. They were called bloods because of the ruddy brownish-red color of their fur that looked like dried blood. They were called bloods for their tiny blood-red eyes that seemed to see everything. Most of all they were called bloods because of all of the blood that they left behind.
When I said that they did not even resemble human I was not kidding. They do not even look human anymore. The smallest of them are about 8 feet tall when they rear up on their hind legs and the largest of them are an amazingly terrifying 12 feet high on their hind legs. They have huge otter-like bodies that are covered in a really thick layer of rusty-red fur; their 2 meter long while-like tails could rip a person in half if it really tried. Their huge paws have even larger talon-like claws in them. Their heads, like any other part of the bloods body is exceptionally large. Their ears are just small holes in the sides of their bear-like head and their eyes are tiny and the color of fresh blood with small vertical slits for pupils. The deadliest parts of the blood are its jaws. The jaws are really big in comparison to the rest of its head and they are filled with sharp teeth that could bite through bone.
An agonizingly long week after the attacks started the lockdown become official and the remaining 240 000 survivors out of a city of originally one million people were escorted to various safe houses where they could stay until the military had dealt with the bloods and any threat of another blood attack was gone. While the survivors stayed huddled together in their safe houses, fumes from the seemingly long ago blast were still spreading and similar accidents were happening in institutes across the world as test subjects reacted to the chemicals, turned into bloods and ran loose, eventually getting to the storage room(s) where they caused large explosions. It was as if they planned to do it but nobody could prove that. Nobody could communicate any farther than whoever was in the same building because a lot of the outside world had been destroyed by hungry bloods, searching for a meal.
A year after it all started, the whole world had locked themselves away from this new predator that had accidentally been created. Many countries sent out their military to get rid of the bloods. All soldiers were killed and nine of their weapon had even the slightest effect on the bloods. They might as well have been tossing Kleenex boxes at them for all the damage they did. The only things that got damaged were more of the cities. Things were not looking good for the human race. The governments of every country across the world were baffled. What could they do now? These creatures could not be killed and they were still roaming around in search of someone to eat. There was nothing to do but wait in their little safe-houses and hope that the bloods would go away eventually or maybe dies from lack of food.
The lockdown continued for ten long years before the bloods finally seemed to disappear and people were let out to rebuild their lives. The whole world was a great big, chaotic mess. Things were so hectic that very few people noticed that there still were killings. The bloods were still attacking, they were just being more careful about it.
The bloods had put their final talent to use. They were able to take the form of the person they used to be before they were infected by the too strong chemical mixture. Once they were able to develop a sufficient amount of self-control (about a year after turning), the bloods smuggled themselves into society. By the time there was enough proof that the bloods had returned, it was too late. The bloods had blended so well with the humans, no one could tell the difference until it was too late.
A full 90 years after the lockdown, things were almost back to normal but there were several changes made since the worldwide lockdown ended. Everyone from the age of six and up knew how to fight. This was a necessary change because while guns, grenades and other modern weaponry could not harm a blood, blades and actual hand-to-hand combat could hurt and even kill one if you know what you are doing. No one really know why or how this is possible but it is so we do what we can to protect ourselves. Since it was learned that it was possible to fight back, the people have taken things into their own hands. Sure the government would train their armies differently and send them out to kill more like they were at war with these monsters but it was like hunting ants. No matter how many you kill, there was always tons more. No one knew where they were even coming from but there was always more. It is pretty much a hopeless fight but people are not giving up. Not when their lives depend on this.
Exactly 100 years after the creation of the bloods and the great lockdown, six people were born who were destined to stop these killings and return the world to the safety it once had. The future was dependent on six teenagers. Two of them were not even human. Could they do it?
The next chapter is about the two non-human teens that have to save the world so enjoy!
