Upon further inspection, Ben realized he knew this young man. His name was Chris Johnson and he was the same age as Ben. The men shared a couple classes together throughout their freshman and sophomore years. They were friendly with each other but not too close. Regardless, he knew this man to be kind. This behavior was so uncharacteristic. The disease somehow caused this violent outburst. Ben ignored Rileys orders and ignored the mans touch. Chris! Ben shouted loudly but did not get a response. Chris! Stop this! Dont make me hurt you! Still, the male kept sluggishly approaching the trio and Ben felt his heart increase its rate tenfold. He pushed away from Riley and looked to his friend. Ry, make sure that she stays safe. Even though Ben was pissed that Riley even ran outside, he might as well be useful, right? Taking a deep breath, the soldier lurched forward and gripped the baseball bat tightly, swinging it with a violent force right at Chris abdomen. A loud thud elicited from the hit but Chris kept charging. Again, Ben swung the bat right into the mans sternum but he was still unaffected. This was not human at all. Ben was not being gentle with the wooden bat right now. These were powerful swings where Ben put all of his muscle and strength into the swing. For the third time, Ben swung the bat but this time aimed it at for the head. Ben expected this to be the final blow but the bat just bounced off the skull like nothing had happened. Immediately, Ben swung for the head again and Chris finally stumbled but that was about all he did. Suddenly, Ben tripped while backpedaling and Chris toppled down with him. This man was trying to bite him just like the videos showed. His teeth were snapping and cracking right into Bens face but he shoved the bat in between them, trying to push off. Chris was not a small man but everyone could tell that Ben was much stronger than him if they stood side by side. While this might be true, Chris was completely overpowering Ben somehow with unnatural strength. It was almost like looking into the eyes of the devil himself if Ben had to put this into words. This man did not look like a man anymore and Ben had honestly never been this scared in his entire life. He finally got an idea, shoving the baseball bat into his mouth next time it tried to bite. Chris made a choking noise and Ben was able to kick him in the abdomen four times before knocking him down onto the ground. Using this opportunity, Ben quickly stood up and started sprinting back towards the dorms with Riley and the girl from earlier. --------------- David actually loved surprises so when Maggie mentioned a surprise for him, he desperately wanted to know. The male honestly had no clue what his fiance was planning to do. Quickly, David hopped into the truck and turned the key inside of the ignition. Quietly, the motor began humming and they were on the road. Getting to their new home could be done one of two ways Either the highway or through the backroads. Mileage wise, taking the highway would be the longer route but take less time. However, time was not of the essence right now and they were not in a hurry. David decided to take the backroads because they would be empty and the scenery would be more romantic. Regardless, the trip would only take approximately twenty-five or thirty minutes so the drive was not bad at all. After his future wife wrapped her arm around his, a gentle smile graced his face. His eyes were locked with the womans gorgeous green ones before falling to that engagement ring on her finger. It looked so beautiful and so perfect. David was worried at first, unsure if she would like it or not but she did. I find myself asking the same question about you too, baby girl. I love you more than life itself and you are perfect. I have no idea how I ever won your love. You could have any man in the world you want but you want me. Thats amazing. With a grin, he turned his head to kiss around her neck as well at a stop sign. After moving forward again, he linked their fingers together and squeezed her hand happily while just enjoying this moment. Whats your surprise, darling? David finally prodded, desperate to find out now since it had been a good five minutes on the road.
