"He's not! Look at him! He is not one of them!"

Kill... Kill her...

Ughh... Fuck! I have a huge headache... My back burns like hell!

"We all saw it, Lizzie. He got scratched and, if I may add, it was from Claw!"

"He's human! Look at him! He would've changed by now, Corn. Zander, you saw it! He didn't get clawed, right?"

Who are they talking-
Kill them all!

I bolt up and everyone jumps.

Who the hell said that?

"He has a huge claw mark on his back, girl. You can't deny that."

"He needs to be put down, Lizzie."

"Rosalin, you can't be serious! You too?"

Fucking kill!

Who's saying that? It's like it's right in my ear, as though it's in my head. Wait... Did I... get scratched?! My body looks normal. Well, except my armor is completely torn up on my right side, leaving it completely exposed.

Lizzie is covering me with her body. Everyone has their guns pointed towards her.

"W-What is, ugh, going on?"

"How is he back to normal?"

"His soul is Corrupted... He needs to go or you'll go with him!"

Riveck yells while lying on the floor, weak.

I thought he was dead. Nobody else seems to be shocked, so I guess they figured out he was alive while I was out.

"No, stop! Please! We... W-We have to report this first. The General needs to see this?"

Why... won't... you... Kill!

"Whose voice is that?"

Everyone lowers their weapons a small bit and leans past Lizzie to see me...

"How is he able to talk?"

"Who is he talking about?"

"I'm right here y'all kn-"
"Nathaniel! How are you feeling?"
Lizzie asks me and points her primary gun towards everyone.

"Don't you assholes try anything!"

She crouches down next to the seat I'm laying on, her gun pointed toward everyone.

"I have a terrible headache... What's going-"
Mmm... Delicious!

"Argh, fuck!"
My right arm grabs Lizzie! What the hell?!

My arm!

It's...

It's...

Corrupted!

A huge claw forms on my right arm. Oh no. Stop, stop, stop!

Lizzie falls over and looks at me with fear. Everyone is on the verge of pulling their triggers... except for Lizzie. She just looks horrified... My arm, i-it's back to normal.

"It's not him."

"Marcus, what do you mean it's not him? He's still the Nathaniel we know. He... He needs to be tested!"

"Lizzie... You need to let go of him. I'm sorry."

Zander grabs Lizzie and restrains her... What are they-
"Fire!"

*Rapid gunfire showering Nathaniel!*

"No, Nathaniel!"
Lizzie cries...

"Ceasefire!"
