The way life goes

Chapter 1:The Way Life Goes

Life is good...I have my own house, I have a sweet daughter to care for now, I have a wonderful wife, and last but not least, I helped save a place from a guy...As I said...Life is good. Wait! You don't know how this came to be..do you? Well...let me enlighten you on the situation.........

1 Year Ago

My family and I were on a trip to The Big Apple for vacation. It was a grand time, seeing sights, the eligant food, and all the people. It was wonderful, especially for your average day Texan. Which is me of course.

Lemme give you the facts about me and why we chose New York before my story progresses more. Im Jeremy-Dane Owens, but just call me JD. Like i said, i'm your average Texan teen. Sixteen to be exact. I was about 5ft. 9" tall and weighed over two-hundred pounds, fat ain't I? Im a mix race of Mexican, Caucasian, Indian, and also some German. I have black hair, brown eyes, and some patches of hair on my face.

I grew up near Waco, my family wasn't rich, we don't speak in that 'ol Texas lingo neither. I made good grades, had great friends. A good car, never had a girlfriend, and im somewhat comedic.

See, the reason we chose New York was because we got a great deal from my friend, Will, he's been to the city before. How he got us a discount trip? I dunno, but hey, who would turn down a trip to New York.

Ok lets continue our story now, I don't think we need anymore facts .

We were new some sort of building, it looked like a chemical research building or something like that. As we were walking, we heard gun shots and feared for the worst. So we started to quicken our pace, just to be knocked over by a hooded man. I had a suspicion about him, he didn't seem too right.

What we saw next was horrid. He picked up a car! A freckin car, and chunked it at a helicopter above us. In an explosion of fire and debris, the helicopter fell on us.

...

As I was somehow regaining consious,I noticed that, I had survived. I was trying to move, but the lack of strength, and a pain kept me imobilized. I definantley had something broken. I mannaged to move my head alittle, to see my surroundings. What was left of the helicopter was either molten metal, or fire. I tried to look around more, hoping to find help, then I saw them, the charred up bodies of what used to be my parents. My dad was crushed by the copter, but my mom was just on fire. She was still alive, but suffering. I could hear her screams, it was pain in my ears. It was terrible,so i turned away, just to find more dead bodies of the people caught in the wreckage. I could've sworn I saw a kid, a poor kid, holding his dying, what looks like a brother of some sort.

"Oh god...," was all I managed to say as I started to slip out, but right before I did, I felt somebody pulling me out of the wreckage. And then I eased myself, hoping that it was paramedics pulling me to saftey. But I was more worried about the others. What would happen to them? Then my eyes started getting heavy. I couldn't stay away. All I could see, before I went to sleep, was the man in the hood.

...

When I was out I heard a voice. "Wake up..."

"Who is that?" Was all I could manage to say with what little strength I had left.

"You should know..."

Wait a sec, "Will?"

"Bingo bra..."

This was strange... you see, Will is dead.
He died last month in a plane reck while he was going to his mothers place....with, his brothers.
Elijah, Parker, and Jaden.

"Yo dude, you there?"

Hmm, "Oh yeah sorry man."

"Oh is cool..."

"I'm dead... ain't I?"

"No, just near death experience."

"Oh...that sucks."

"Totally, you were having a good life too bro."

"Heh, You're right. Anyways, how's your brothers?"

"They're good."

"Cool...hey, why did you contact me?"

"Cause you're about to go through some tough shit in a couple of minutes."

"What do you mean."

"You'll see...anyways, I gotta go, Later!"

"Wait!"

"..."

"Crap, he left"
I wonder what he meant my that.

Just then I felt a surge of pain hitting me throughout all of my body. "Ahh...F-F-F-Fuck!" It was an eminse pain. Worse than any broken bone, torn flesh, or the burning of skin.
In all ways...it hurt.

...

I started seeing a light after about five minutes. Then a strange voice.

"Hey! Kid! Wake up!"

It sounded familiar. I wonder why he's yelling like that.

"Get up! Quick!"

As I started coming to, I saw who it was.
It was that guy....in the hoodie...the one that threw the car.

"Good you're awake. We need to go, now!"

I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. The pain was still there. The fact that I was tired as fuck didn't help either.
"I-I-I can't," was all I managed to squeeze out between deep breathes.

"Crap!" He started to look around, alot. "Ok, I'm going to have to carry you then."

I tried to object, but he already had me up.
That's when I noticed why he was in a hurry... There were zombies....everywere.
I hadn't been so scared in my life, until I saw this pink, dog looking thing. It was huge, and by the looks of it. It was heading for us! Tearing through everything in its path.

Just then, the man started running.
He was running faster than I thought possible.
He even managed to out-run that dog, looking thing, barely.

...

He has been carring me for about a mile. 'What stamina.'
Then he finally stopped at this, what looks like a medical center. Were he proceeded to ask a question.
"Whats your name kid?"

"'Ah ain't a kid, and it's Jeremy....Jeremy-Dane, but you can just call me J.D."

He chuckled alittle bit, which just pissed me off. "My name is Alex...Alex Mercer." He reached his hand toward me, offering a handshake. Which I returned.

"So Alex...."

"Yeah?"

"Why was the army shooting at you, and how did I survive?"

"Well ,to answer your questions," he raised his arm in front of me.
I could'nt tell what he was doing, until some, vien-like things started growing around his arm.
It started rearranging his skin, muscles and bones into what looked like, a blade.
A GIANT ASS BLADE!

"W-what a-are you?!?" Was all I needed to know.

"Im a zombie kid."

"B-b-but how?"

"You remember that building with a double helix on it?"

"Umm...." I was trying to remember, but all I could think about was that chemicals research building.
Could that be it? No, I don't remember seeing one there. "No, no I don't."

"Oh...well that is where I became this." Still gesturing his 'blade' at me.

"O-oh ok." I was starting to calm down alittle. I don't know why. "So, how did I survive?"

"OH...." he seemed alittle hesitant to tell me." I, transferred you some of the virus I have."

"What?!? HOW?!?"

"It's complicated."

"Is that what all that pain I was going through was?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Fuu- Wait!"

He just raised and eyebrow. "Hm?"

"What are pro's from being like this?"

"Hmm....Strength, speed, agility, and your senses are enhanced by 20%."

"Cool...so what about that arm of yours?" I said, gesturing to his 'blade' arm.

He just stared at his arm for about, five minutes, before replying, "The infection causes the body to mutate. Luckily sense I gave you my genes of the infection, so you should be able to transform for shape instead of turning into one of those undead demon spawn."

"Cool."

"Indeed."

"So.." He asked, "Wanna get started?"

"On what?"

"Training of course." He seemed almost exstatic when he said that.

"Fine I guess...The sooner the better."

"Alright, let's begin."

...

The training wasn't so bad....until a group of hunters, that's what he calls those big dog things, attacked us.

They were an easy kill, until I saw a bigger one. But, it had a blade on its arm just like Mercer's.

"OH FUCK.." Mercer looked...scared?

"What is that thing Alex?"

"A supreme hunter."

"So it's a hunter, let's get it!"

"NO wai-!"

It was too late, I had already jumped towards that thing.
Which turned out to be a bad move.

You see, a supreme hunter can use devistators , Really strong attacks that use tendrils to puncture bodies, which I managed to get hit by one, luckily it just grazed me, but I was launched to the roof of a building.
And guess who got knocked out agian.

...

I woke up to see it's been twenty minutes sense I got knocked out. I was able to tell because of a watch I had on me.

As I looked over the edge of the building to find Mercer, when I saw something horrid. There was blood... everywhere.

"OH fuck!" I started tearing up, because Mercer was dead.

He was ripped in half with puncture wounds all over his body.
His guts were hanging out for the zombies to fiest on.

"NO! NO! NO! NOOOO!" I screamed as loud as I could. Then I noticed him, the hunter supreme, staring at Alex's body on the other side of the street.

That is it. I'm going to avenge the death of the guy that saved my life. One way or another.

I knew how I was going to kill the hunter.
First, I was ganna jump off the building with my hammer arms ,it is what it sounds like. Then, I was ganna drive them into the hunters head when I hit. Once he stumbles around a bit, I'm going to get on his head and use my muscle mass, makes me really strong, and rip his head right off his body!

I was going to wait till he gave me a perfect shot, until another hunter, regular, attacked me from behind.
Easy kill, but I almost got noticed by the supreme.

I whispered to myself calmly, "It's now or never."
And then I jumped off the building, but as I jumped I felt this pulling motion taking me upward. I was startled and looked up to find a vortex. A blue, pink and purple vortex.
"What the Fu-," was all i managed to say as I was thrown into sed vortex.
And yet agian, I blanked out.

...

Authors Note: This was my first fic. I hope it was towards ya'lls liking. Don't worry, there wil be ponies in the next chapter.
Also, are ya'll wondering why I pass out alot?
It's because it's an easy way to make a transition for a section, and I've hit my head alot in the years.

P.S
The reason I didn't describe the training is, because it would've took to long, and I feared ya'll would get bored. And it took up a crap load of time. The story started out at the beginning of the infection, and is now 75% there cause of the training.

Welcome to the Everfree

Chapter 2: Welcome to the Everfree

Several hours after last event

"Auugh..." I mumbled in a pained and irritated tone. "What the hell happened?"

"Okay...let's recap. First I got hit by a helicopter. Then I got infected. Next I got attacked and saw my newest friend dead. And last I got sucked into a vortex.......Fann-fuckingtastic!" If you guessed by now....im pounting.

I suppose next is an inventory check. Okay, I got my Iphone...which has no battery. Next on my list, a watch....busted. Ipod.....fuck yeah it still works! With, 80% battery. Last in my pockets is, my Stilleto, a knife.

"The happieness in my body is overflowing." You see, I love my knives, no matter what.

"Okay let's see where we are."

I started looking around hoping to find some civilization, only to find I was in a dark forrest. "Huh... that's odd"

I wonder where I am, so I decided to go walking around to see what I could find.

...

After about half an hour of walking I started hearing noises. Dark, eary, and evil noises to my left. I couldn't help myself, so on instinct I went to check it out.

I've been following the sounds for 30 ft. just to know what it was, as I got closer, aparently so did it.

While following the sounds I began to feal weaker and lowly said, "Oh hell.... I don't feel to hot. What did that portal thing do to me."

To see if I was all right, I tried to transform my arm... but, for some reason, I couldn't. "What the fuck!" It was odd, scary odd. I tried to see if I still had my strength and speed. Luckily I still have those, good.

I tried to see if I could still disguise myself, "Hah, hell yeahs, I can still shift!"

This was good, I may not be able to make weapons, but I can still do everything else.

Just in time too, whatever the hell that noise was, it's here!

Out of the darkest of the night, a giant lion/scorpion thing is right infront of me.
It was atleast twice my size. Its teeth were menacing and had claws as long as 3ft. in length. Then I noticed something different, it had wings, bat wings to be exact.

This creature was actually menecing. If I didn't have my strength or speed, I wouldn't stand a chance.

"Okay you big piece of trash..... let's get this over with." As I said that, the creature seemed to understand what I was saying. And apparently it got pissed off, and made a strike towards me.

Barely dodging it, I wanaged to rush toward it with the intent to kill.

...

It was early in the morning. I was feeding the animals I took care of on a normal basis.I was about to head inside when I saw a flash of light in the sky.

"Hmm.... I wonder if Twilight is practicing a new spell." I was thinking over my options to either go inside, or see my friend. "I might as well go, i'm not doing anything else for a while anyway. I just hope I don't interrupt anything, that would be just awful."

I decided to go see my friend, but first I had to tell my bunny, Angel.
He didn't seem to mind when I told him.

"Okay now angel, i'm going to go see my friend, okay." Angel only nodded as a response.

"Okay Angel, take care of the house while i'm gone." He just sighed at that. And with a smirk I left.

...

As I was reaching Twilight's house I heard a commotion coming from inside, "Oh no Spike this is bad!" It was Twilight, she sounded worried.

Then I heard a voice that I knew was Spike's, "Don't worry Twi', It was probably a dud."

"No Spike! It worked, I know it did!"

"Okay. Okay. Geez"

Hmm... I wonder what that was about.

I went to knock on the door, but it flew open before I could. "Ohh.."

"Oh i'm sorry Fluttershy, i'm just in a hurry."

"For what Twilight?"

"Well I cast a spell that was suppose to teleport items."

"Oh, that's interesting."

"Yes it is. Well I must hurry, I think the spell backfired."

"Wait. Was it a bright light sort of thing?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

"Because I saw it earlier."

"You did? Where?!?"

"Umm, just over there." I said while pointing over to the Everfree Forest. "I could take you if you like."

"Oh yes please, and thanks Fluttershy!"

"Okay then Twilight."

"Alright let's get going."

...

It took us about an hour to get to where I saw the light.

"It was over here Twil-" And then I heard a roar and a scream coming from our left.

"What was that?" Asked Twilight in a very worried type voice.

"I don't know. I think somepony's being attacked!"

"Then quick we need to help them!"

We started running toward the commotion. I knew it was a battle alright. So, I started flapping my wings, hoping that I could go faster.

When we got to the commotion we were shocked. There was this monkey-like creature, it didn't have hair, it was bi-pedal, and it wore clothes.

The poor thing was fighting a manticore, and.... winning? Just as I was about to question Twilight, the bi-pedal creature jumped on to the manticore's back and... and...

I couldn't take in what I saw, It was horrible, because the odd creature....

...

As I was fighting this giant, I started hearing footsteps. I would've wondered what it could've been, but I had my hands buisy at the moment.

I was starting to think, Why can't I kill this thing? What is it anyways? I know i'm hurting it, but why won't it die?

This creature was really pissing me off, so I decided to do something deperate. I ran straight at it as it swipped its paw. I managed to dodge it, and get onto its back. From there I dug my fist into its back, and snapped its spine with a bone crunching *CRACK*.

As the beast started falling over, I glanced over to see two small horses with... wait.... that one has a horn?!? And that one has wings?!?

They were starring at me. Their eyes were filled with horror and confusion. I was about to say something when the yellow one said, "h-h-how c-c-could y-you?"

It can talk?!? "How could I what?"

"You killed it!"

"Wait that thing" I said gesturing over to that monster's lifeless figure.

"Yes, how could you?!"

"Simple... It was attacking me, so I attacked back." She's starting to piss me off.

"But you didn't have to kill it!"

"Of course I did!" I yelled back, "If I didn't, I would be a bloody pile of mush right now!"

The yellow one grew silent, while the purple one glared. Then something happened, the unicorn's horn started glowing purple.

"What are you doi-" I was interupted when the unicorn shot a ball of pure energy at me.

The ball hit my arm, right under my elbow, completely burning it off.

"OW! Why did you do that!" I was clearly in pain by this, and then it seemed the yellow one ,clearly a pegasis, started feeling bad for me. I don't know why, she was mad at me just a few seconds ago.... it's wierd.

The yellow one turned to her, I assume it's a her, friend, and said in a worrying tone, "Twilight why did you do that?!?"

"I thought he was about to attack us Fluttershy!"

Okay, so now I know their names, that's good. Im also starting to think these 'horses' are the dominant species here. That's good to know, if I need to disguise myself.

The one whos name I learned is Fluttershy started slowly walking over to me, "Are you okay?"

"Okay? Okay! Do I look okay? I lost my arm!" She winced at what I said. Maybe I was to loud?

"Oh I'm...I'm sorry." She then started reaching towards me, probably wanting to help.

I just backed away as she got closer, "I'll be fine. And, I'm sorry for yelling. I'm just really pissed off."

"It's alright, it was my fault."

Fuck, now i'm getting attacked by guilt. "No-no-no, as I said, I shouldn't have yelled at you." It's like she's tearing through my soul.

She stepped closer agian, but I just backed away further. "Why won't you let me help you?" She said alittle sadder now.

*Sigh* "Because of this." I gestured my arm forward, to which they just stared. After about 20 seconds of consentrating, dark red tendrils started going out of what used to be, my right elbow. The tendrils started combining into the shape of another arm.

When my arm was completly back, the two girls just stood there in shock.

"How did you do that" Said the one whos name I learned was Twilight.

"It's an infection."

They were becoming more scared of me now. I knew I needed to leave. As I started to walk away, Fluttershy asked one last question, "What are you?"

"Heh, Im'ma human."

As she was about to ask one more question, but I ran off into the woods. I Didn't want them here any longer. It was dangerous after all.

...

After an hour of running, I found the end of the forrest. Just over the horizon, I could make out a town full of ponies.

I started looking for a place to sleep, when I spied a mountain. And on that mountain, was a castle.

"Well son-of-a-bitch..... that's a castle."

I stood there in awe for a good hour. It was getting dark, I had to find a place to sleep at and fast. So, I started roaming around, hoping to find a place to sleep.

Took thirty minutes to find a good place to sleep. It was a tree, and in that tree was......APPLES!

I was so hungry, especially since I couldn't consume that lion thing. To consume, is basically like eating. Except after I consume something I heal and also gain all of the memories.

Before I went to sleep in that nice tree....I was ganna eat my heart out.

After eating 5 apples, alot, right, I started thinking "I'll need to diguise myself before entering town." So I started brainstorming on what I'll look like and such, and what I did for a living.

So as I was thinking I slowly drifted off to sleep.

...

Authors Note: Cool...so we met 2 of the mane 6...goody goody. What will happen next time? I don't know. What will I look like? Y'all have to find that out" and why do I disrespect Twilight? Because it's hard to talk for her.
Welp tell me how I did so far and give me some moral support

P.S.

Ya'll will only get chapters on weekends and fridays.....'ah aint allowed on mah computer during the week. Gay, aint it? So i'll try to squeeze in as much as I can
I hope to see yall back next time on, An Infected LIfe!

Quest through night

Authors Note: I'm pissed off! I had this damn chapter done, and then damn computer lagged out on me right as I saved it, causing it to delete itself......Because of this. This shall take forever to post it.

Chapter 3: Quest through night

12:00 at midnight

It was cold... There was rain. And I couldn't even sleep if my life depended on it.

This tree won't work anymore. I need a new place to sleep...and fast if I don't want to freeze.

Well, not freeze, but it would be cold as hell. I can still get sick, but it wouldn't do anything. I just don't want the locals getting sick from a forgien flu. It would be just like how the indians got smallpox from the the spaniards. That wouldn't be good.

"Welp....I suppose I better go looking for a new place to sleep." I jumped off the branch I was hanging off of.

The rain wasn't going to let up any time soon. "Best Hurry."

So I decided running would keep up the body heat; so I sprinted all around this field. By the looks of it; this was an apple orchard. Big and nothing but apples. It kinda intrigued me...how these people have such a big orchard.

Then it hit me, "An orchard has a farm; and a farm most likely has a barn." I said to nobody inperticular.

So with that, I decided to look for this mystical barn that would use its shelter powers to keep me well and un-sick.

...

"Finally! Target achieved!"

After about thirty minutes of searching for that damn farm...I finally found it. The comforting looks of the barm drue my attention.

I knew the owners of this here farm wouldn't approve, but I needed to stay there...or else something bad would happen. I decided that I don't really need to give a fuck.

But it was late; "they wouldn't come out just to see if somebody was in their farm."

With those words of confidence; I made my trek to the barn. That sweet, red, two doored barn....that has a window too. That's good means for a quick escape.

When I finally reached this here barn, I notice it has some damage done to it. "Wonder what happened."

But I just shrugged it off....I sure hope they didn't get attacked though. I may have killed thousands...but i'm not a bad guy. Plus, it was all to protect New York.

Anyways, I've made it into the barn. Inside the barn there was alot of hay, buckets full of apples, a cart, and second story loft.

The upstairs section consisted of a small bed, more hay, and alot of rope. "Hmm....quite cosy."

I was about to hit the hay, so nobody would catch me on the bed, but then I heard something.

"Hey! Who's in mah barn!"

It was a feminine...probably the owner. I'll assume she's a pony.

"Come out! Ah'll give ya to the count of three, before you make me go in there!"

I better stay...you know, to study her body. I'll need to see what the body looks like before I change myself.

"1!"

Ooo....she sounds angry.

"2!"

Better hide in this here hay.

"3! That's it. I'm coming in!"

Yep definantly angry.

As I was hiding in the hay, a orange pony came in. She had a blonde mane and tail, both with ribons, she also had a baige steston with 3 apples on her ass.

"Where are ya you darn varmet!"

Ooo....testy. Welp, time to study her.

You know....she has a nice body. I admire her....

After about umm.....5 minutes of studying; she was bout to leave....till I sneezed.

"'Ah heard that, 'ah know where ya are, and i'm coming up." Welp...she knows where i'm at... time to leave before she finds me out. Luckily the window I mentioned was on the second story.

So, I did the most rational thing. And jumped head-first out of the window right as the farmer climbed up the ladder.

I tell you what.... that landing was hell. Sure i've been through worse; but it still hurt.

After I managed to collect myself form the fall; I started running towards the forrest at the end of the orchard. It acually wan't so bad..... the rain had lowered to just a mere sprinkle now.

...

I finally made it to the forrest. It was a nice change from that other one. This one seemed.... nicer and.... less killy-me.

Heh... it sets me as...uneasy. But other than that; it's a nice place. Big willow trees, a clear little trail going through the middle, and a scared pon-.....

"Uhh..."

"Ahh!" Hmm... definantley a male, but he screams like a girl.

He was a blue pegasus, he had a black and green mane/tail. And a black cowboy hat with square glasses. Something specificaly caught my eye though; the lack of an 'ass mark' that the other three had.

The horror on his face was priceless though. I can use him as a template. Remember when I said I didn't want to hurt anybody? Well I need to consume this guy, or else I just might end up hurting somebody.

"Umm...Hey."

"W-w-what are y-you?"

Poor guy. "Umm..... your death."

"W-w-w-what?!?" I hate having to do this.

"I need you as a template."

"F-for what?" Why is he getting calmer?

"So I don't end up hurting somebody....sorry."

Before he could say anything else, I lunged at him. Guy didn't even see it coming.

When I got onto him, the first thing I did wasn't so bad; I had pinned him down. Then as quick as could be, so it didn't hurt him, I grabbed onto his neck. And snapped it.

It was a thing I never wanted to do to such an innocent pony. But what I learned after I consumed him was worth it.

I now know that this country is called Equestria, how there is two rulers of this place, it's been attacked twice, and saved by a group of ponies called 'The Mane Six' AKA 'The Elements of Harmony'.

"Hmm...so I met 3 of them. Interesting."

Hmm... apparently the pony I killed, his name was Lyrosk, and he was from......Detrot? Hmm.. must be Equestria's version of Detroit.

Apparently this guy has never left his house and he was an orphan.

Hmm... I guess he won't be missed then.

"Well, best time to try out that template, I guess." By this point I already had an idea on how I wanted to look.

I started to concentratre hard, hoping not to screw things up like the first time I tried back on earth.

While concentrating, black and bloody tendrils grew from my body; wrapping it up. The process of changing my body this time hurt...alot. Probably because it was a whole different shape.

It was almost over when I started feeling light-headed. "Oh no..."

I knew that feeling.

I was about to pass out. I could feel it coming.

Luckily I finished the procces, but before I could see myself....I was out like a rock.

...

Do to the fact I already done this chapter.. it took longer ,because my brain was all like, "Bro...you've already wrote that!"

I tried to fight it, but my brain was stronger than I.

I'm sorry I dind't get this done faster.

Could y'all ever forgive meh?

The New Me

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.
I'm not promoting...just informing.

A note from the now. modern writer

Hello all,
You're probably wondering what happened to me and the story....
Well as it turns out. I LOVE roleplaying, and it distracted me to the point that I lost interest in my infected friend.

Well. you'll be glad to know that,
Starting whenever I don't have to work.
I WILL rewrite The Infected's Life, and it will be better than ever!!!

I do give my apologies for the abrupt stopping of this story, and I am very very sorry....

But the new rewritten version will be better! And that's a promise.

I love you all, and I will make this an experience you will probably forget.

See y'all 'round!
