The Infected's Life

Authors Note: Alright...I get it...y'all are mad at me for not uploading...don't worry I'm mad at myself as well. I just got caught up while helping a friend with his story. So anyways....let's begin!

Chapter 4: The New Me

I woke up in a groggy state, the sun was blaring in my eyes, and my back ached like hell. What a fantastic start for my day.

I decided to turn my head, you know, just for the hell of it, only to find that i'm in a house.

"What the.."

"Oh, you're awake!" That voice... it was soft and sounded familiar.

A glance to the right and I was met with the face of a yellow pegasus with a pink mane. Yep, I knew I heard that voice somewhere.

"Where am I?" I need to think on how to approach this before I say anything drastic.

"You're at my house. My name is Fluttershy, what's yours?"

Whats? Why was she introducing herself? I already know her name....unlesss....no....Did it work?

I glanced down, hoping to see a new body, and you know what? It worked! By golly it worked! And by the looks of these wings poking out from under my back, I'm a pegasus! And a Grey one too.

I'm going to have to skip on the other details, she needs a name, and I need to re-meet her. I have thought of the name during the proccess. It was somewhat violent, but protective in my book.

"My name is Stryker. Tis a pleasure to meet you Fluttershy."

Heh, I got a blush out of her from that. How adorable....

"Hey um.... where am I?"'

"You're in my hou-"

"No, I mean where at?" Hmmm..... thought she would've known better.

"Oh...umm your in Ponyville."

"Ponyville ehh? Hmm.... What time is it?"

"It's 3 p.m.."

3 p.m...hmm...I wonder how long I was out. I woke up around midnight. Spent a couple hours traveling all around. The sun wasn't evven shining yet. Uh buh buh buh....if my math is right, I musta went out at around 4:30. Yes 4:30 seems about right.

"Umm...What time did you find me last night?"

"Last night...Around 3:40, why?"

Damn...I was off by and hour. "Just wondering."

I was about to stand, but she stopped me. "What are you doing?"

She's glaring at me now....It intimidates meh.

"I-I-I was j-just trying to get up."

"Oh no you don't."

"But whhyy?"

"Because you're hurt, and have a cold from the rain."

Crap...maybe I can still heal myself. Can't wait 'til I try.

"Well can you atleast drag me to the restroom?" Yes that's right, ponies have indoor plumbing.

"U-um o-okay." There was a little red growing in her cheeks when she said that.

Odd... I just asked if she could take me to the bathroom....not fuck me.

Well anyways she did help pick me up off the couch I was on. Drag me to the restroom, no literally, she dragged me all the way to the restroom, it's what she gets for being so pushy.

After being dragged all the way across the house, I noticed that she took care of animals....well it's just an analysis, but still.

We finally get to the restroom after being dragged painfully across the floor. And you know what...? She is stronger than she looks. And her house isn't that bad either.

It has wooden furnishing, a wooden floor, also there are animals everywhere. It's quite the sight if I do say so myself.

"So.... Is this the bathroom." I said point to the door that we stopped at. You know why? Cause i've been known to be a smartass.

"..." Heh, just a blank stare.

"Okay, see ya in a bit." I then walked into the bathroom, closed the door, locked the door, and then used the bathroom.

It really wasn't that hard...the toilet was the same as back on earth. You just had to stand your fore-legs on the big square part.

The sink you ask? Why there really isn't a sink. Just a tub of water....just a simple...boring....tub of water..."Ooo soap!"

"What was that?" I heard a muffled voice from the other side of the door.

"Nothing, just admiring your bathroom."

"Okay then..... I'll be in the livingroom if you need me."

"Kay." I have to be quiet if I wanna heal myself without raising suspicion.

I was about to comense the not-so-difficult proccess of regenerating, but then I noticed a mirror hanging above the 'sink'.

"Hmm....best to have a look at myself before I do anything else."

I walked over to the mirror, thinking I was going to look like a god awful mess. But to my suprise, I don't look quite bad, if I do say so myself.

I indeed, had a grey coat. My mane was short blue and white. I apparently had a long tail,same color as my mane, and my 'ass mark', which I now know is called a 'cutie mark', kind of a gay name if you ask me, it was...the Gentek symbol. For y'all who don't know what Gentek is, it's a bio-research facility. The same facility that caused the zombie outbreak.

My clothes seemed to transform into a blue striped vest with some cuffs on my forelegs.

Oh and before I forget. I still have Lyrosk's hat and glasses. I've taken a liking to them. They're keepers. But I don't think I'll wear them any time soon.

Ok, now time to heal. This proccess would take atleast 10 minutes...tops.

...

After the 'healing', I noticed 1: it hurt like hell, and 2: I still had a couple human bones...but it's all better now. And that cold Fluttershy kept talking about, it was minor. Easy to get rid of.

Okay...so now it's time to comfront Fluttershy. I know she'll ask alot. I better start thinking about it on my way back to her.

As I was walking towards the livingroom, I heard a voice. "I wonder who she's talking to." It sounded familiar, but yet it sent a chill down my spine.

"I hope she isn't talking to-.... oh fuck me." When I finally get into the livingroom, I saw Twilight sitting there....on the couch...where I slept. You remember Twilight, right? I mean, c'mon, she blew off my arm.

"Excuse me?" Oh crap she heard me.

"Oh nothing...I just sneezed." To follow up on my lie...I tried to sneeze and make it sound like how I said it.

"Oookaayy. Well anyways... my name is Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?"

"Mah name's Stryker, but y'all could just call me Stry for short. I'm from Detrot." Thank god for these pony puns.

"Well it's nice to meet you Stryker. I couldn't help but notice, that you have the same accent as a friend of mine." Hmm...another Texan accent? Cool.

"Heh...small world we live in."

"Indeed. Hey...if you don't mind me asking...what has brought you to Ponyville?" Welp...glad I thought of this ahead of time.

"I'm just passing though." Not much of a reason..is it?

"Oh..well I hope your visit here was enjoyable."

"Acually...I just got here. Aparrently I passed out in the woods, so Fluttershy brought me here. Which was very sweet of her." Tryin to show my more....nicer side. I can't screw this over...especially if I can't go back home.

"Oh..um..it was no problem." Said the sweet and timid Fluttershy.

"Ok...so Mr. Stryker...how long are you going to be in Ponyville until you leave?"

Damnit all..."I don't know...if I like it here; i'll stay. But first I need a place to sleep at." We just have to see what'll happen 'til I can go home.

"How many bits do you have?" Bits? What are b-....oh ya..it's these ponies currency.

Oh crap I didn't even check if my wallet had changed too! Why didn't I think of that? I wonder....Aha! My wallet is still here. Uh, buh buh buh buh....crap! My money is still in dollars. Well...looked like i'm going to have to ask somepony. Wait...somepony? Damn this stuff I know!

"Umm...I'm broke." I had on a sheepish grin when I said that...I just don't know why. Maybe it was just a natural facial expression these ponies have when they say something like that.

I really don't want to have an all nighter agian...last time I got sick and had hardly any sleep.

I wonder were I could sleep at. Maybe Fluttershy will let me stay here agian. I don't want to go to Twilight's, she bloody attacked me!

"Um.."

"Yes Shy?" I decided just to give her a nickname.

"Y-you can stay here...if that's ok with you."

Authors Note: How original...well I should tell y'all.....i'm a hard procrastinator...mainly getting distracted by BronyDanceParty's live stream. Tis a good live stream. I'll try to screw in another chapter or two by today.

P.S.
