Illy had taken Will a few weeks ago to a Nexcon labs facility, as he can fit through small spaces. They worked to break Illy's mother out. While running through one of the labs, Will tripped, hitting a container holding a syringe, the syringe fell right into Will's arm, injecting him with it.
Nothing felt wrong, for a day or 2, when Will felt sick. He coughed a lot, sometimes blood came out. He had blisters, bubbles under his skin. Lian and Mr thought it was better if Will stayed in bed and healed. Maybe it would get better. Will felt something he rarely felt, sadness. Feeling bad for him, Lian and Mr were arranging a 'Get Well Soon' party.
Mr was painting a portrait of Will, and Lian had made a batch of peanut butter chocolate fudge. "Smells great. Will is gonna love those." Mr said. Lian gazed at the fudge, his mind overflowing with worry for Will. "T...Thanks." He managed to gently smile. Mr sighed. "Hey, he's getting better, it's going to be fine." Mr put a comforting hand on Lian's shoulder. Lian spoke, "O...Okay.." Lian smiled a bit wider, now filled with a bit of hope.
Suddenly, there was a very loud thump, coming from the bedroom. Lian immediately ran to the room. The inside was dark, so Lian hesitated to walk in, in fear of falling over, possibly onto Will. Mr followed. Lian trembled, "W....Will..?" There was a faint growling from in the room. Lian could see the fain reflection of Will's eyes. A voice spoke. "F......FLESH...." Will stumbled closer. His skin, and fur, was gone. He had slightly grown in size. His jaw had split into two halves. His mouth had rows of sharp teeth. His muscle was covered in a solid, sappy material. Lian looked in fear, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. His sweet, innocent little husband. He didn't deserve this...
The creature screeched, and dived at Lian, who ducked at the last second. Will hit the wall head-first, stunned for a bit. Mr took this opportunity to grab Lian, and make a run for the door. Will got up, and chased them. Will grabbed Mr's coat, clawing it up. Mr hesitated for a split second, before punching Will in the face with full strength, sending him flying into the wall. They left the house, getting into Mr's car. They suddenly drove off, speechless, unable to believe what just happened. In the rear view mirror, Mr saw Will, running off into the city. The virus was unleashed. It was the beginning of the end.
