The man in the walked into the Hospital Room. The sterile smell matched the man's face. Cold, hard, almost unfeeling. As he walked in a young rookie doctor stood up suddenly. with a nervous look on his face, he greeted the older Doctor "G-good after-noon sir…" The older doctor scoffed, he knew that he was widely known to young and old doctors alike, and they all feared him, and he liked it. The older man looked at the screen, showing the face of a 15-year old boy. "Is that him?" he asked, his voice monotonous and gravely. "Um Y-yes Doctor Cage, his name is, uh, Jason Neil Alexander.	Doctor Cage's face scrunched up, after years of researching, looking all over the globe to find a 'Patient' he found one, a young one, maybe a little younger then he wanted, but that just means he'll last younger. He looked at the screen for a moment longer, then a wicked smile spread across his face as he growled 	"Bring him here, we finally found one…" -Chapter 1---

The sound of the bell pierced the room. 'Finally!' Jason thought. 'I'm done! I'm not a freshman anymore! I completed my last exam! now, the summer that will change everything!' he walked to the desk picked up his phone, grabbed back-pack and walked out of the room. he followed his route he walked every day for a whole school year to his locker. he dialed the number of the friends he knew sense we was little. he scrolled down his contact until it reached Phil L. for Phil Lifeson. Jason had known the Lifesons for as long as he has remembered. they knew his mother, his real mother, not the fake plastic store mannequin of a stepmom his father married. His father is a famous scientist who barely had time for him. but for the first 5 years of his life, it didn't matter because his mother had always been there for him. Until, that is, she died in a car accident, and he was crushed. During the funeral his dad met another woman who was attending another funeral, and do Jason's horror, they started dating soon after. His only source of comfort was the Lifesons. Mr. and Mrs. Lifeson had 5 children. from oldest to youngest they had Laura, Markus, Phil, Cliff, and Rachel. he hung out with the three brothers the most though, Markus is 17 going on 18, Phil is 15 almost 16, and Cliff turned 15 6 months ago, 4 months after Jason did. The phone kept ringing until he heard, "Hello Lifeson residence" he heard the familiar voice on Laura. "Hey Laura it's Jason…" Jason replied, getting the rest of the junk out of his locker. "So, uh, Julia can't pick me up she… she said she's busy" he explained. He called his stepmother Julia, he never liked calling "Her" mom. "Oh, Of course" she replied "My mom is gone, so I will pick you up, okay?" she said, she had a hint of sadness in her voice. She was a mature 19 year old who went to the community college in their town. "Thank you so much Laura, and you brothers…?" "Of course they'll come, see you in about 10 minuets." "kay, by Laura" He finished clueing out his locker, putting the important stuff in his backpack. as he was walking towards the front of the school, he ran into someone. "Oh I am so sorry…" he stuttered and looked up and saw the person he wanted to see the most and at the same time he hoped he never saw. "Hey uh… Hey Jess…" Jess Alan is a Auburn-headed, straight-haired, bright blue-eyed girl who was in the same grade and class as him. He had a major crush on her ever sense they met, but she just thought as him as a good friend and sweet guy. "Oh hello Jasey" she replied to him with the nickname everyone at the school knew him as. "What are you gonna do this summer?" she sweetly asked. "Ah, I dunno. hopefully something a little exciting I guess." he replied. "Okay sounds awesome! I gotta go, my big sis is here to pick me up! bye!" she yelled as she ran down the hall. "Kay bye! uh um can you… ah never mind" he muttered. he continued down the hall. banging his head on his hand on how stupid he was. Just then the Lifeson's van pulled up. He smiled as Phil, Markus, and Cliff. All he brothers were pretty tall, Phil was a little taller than Jason himself, Markus taller then them both, and Cliff was about a forehead shorter. Cliff and Markus were tan while Phil was a bit paler. but all in all you could tell they were brothers. He smiled and walked toward them quickly, envying their home-schooled lives. has Phil reached his hand up for a high- five. something bad happened. The world swayed back and forth, everything turned a different color, he felt sick, he couldn't stand up straight. Phil reached up and grabbed him. He said something, but Jason couldn't make it out. Phil could have sworn he saw Jason's eyes change but he dismissed it. they were things a bit more important. Jess walked out of the school, just in time to see Jason convulsing, vomiting, and stumbling everywhere. She froze in place, he was surrounded by 3 guys and 1 older looking girl she never really saw before. She stopped frozen in horror as he finally stopped, looking like he fainted, now unconscious in one of the unknown guy's arms. Doctor Cage rode in a private jet toward his destination. A tough businesslike woman, his assistant, just got off the phone. "Sir, the patient, he has just began the first phase of the disease." she informed him. "Well," he replied, "Looks like out work is cut out for us then."

---Chapter 2-

Light crept into Jason's eyes slowly, at first it was blinding, so he shut his eyes again, then he opened them gradually, squinting and letting his eyes adjust to the light.

As he opened them, he could make out two blurry shapes, eventually his vision cleared, showing that the figures were Cliff and an unknown doctor. "Jason?" the doctor asked in a soothing voice, "My name is Doctor Benjamin, how are you feeling?" Jason considered these words for a minute. How did he feel? "C-confused…" Jason croaked, his throat dry and hoarse. "That is perfectly understandable. YOur very brave, and that answer just showed your really smart too, let me get you some water…" He he said soothingly. What the heck? Did this guy get a degree in kissing up? Jason thought. "That would be nice, thanks…" Jason croaked again. "Nurse!" the doctor yelled. "Yes sir?" A young, attractive girl came in, Jason was guessing she was the nurse

"Get him some water, he deserves it." He said with confidence. I DESERVE water? thanks for that… Jason thought, rolling his eyes. The girl smiled, nodded her head and walked out of the room. "I'll be back in a little bit okay? I have to go see another patient." Doctor Benjamin explained as he walked out of the room, leaving Cliff in there by himself. The nurse came in a few seconds later with some water and then left again. After he drank some water he turned to Cliff

"Hey? where's everybody else?" He asked. Cliff thought for a second. "Um, Phil and Laura are with dad at the cafeteria having lunch, they should be back soon. Mom went to go get Rachel, she was at a friends house and mom wouldn't be able to pick her up later. And Markus is sleeping in the waiting room." He explained, "How are you feeling?" "Okay, weird… I don't… I can't" Jason sighed and scratched his head, "How could this happened? Did the doctor say what I was sick with?" Jason asked, with worry suddenly dawning on him.

He breathed in a little, trying not to let his worry show. "Uh… where are my parents?" Jason croaked, realizing they weren't there. "Um, there was a break in at your dad's lab… He has to stay there while they interview suspects, and they couldn't get a hold of Julia.. they sent someone over to your house to find her." Cliff explained. Classic Julia Jason thought, sighing.

Cliff and Jason sat there for a little while talk. while the they talked Markus woke up and came into the room. "Hey there Jase, How're you feeling?" He asked, yawning a little. "Better, glad at least some people were able to make it here when I woke up…" Jason muttered with a hint of sadness. Markus shifted awkwardly form one foot to another. He had always known Jason Neil Alexander as a happy, bold, almost fearless person, now he looked legitimately scared.

"The Doc hasn't said anything, not yet… we explained what happened and he has been going from room to room trying to find out what you have, he says it might just be Stomach Flu…" Markus explained, "Does the Stomach Flu make you dizzy and see everything in different colors?" Jason scoffed sarcastically, his dad was gonna have a field day trying to figure out cures, potions, or whatever to fix what was wrong. Not because he cared, but because he had a challenge. That's all anything was to him, a challenge.

Cliff reached over and patted Jason's shoulder in comfort. Jason smiled at the gesture, letting him know someone cared. When Cliff patted his shoulder his hand found a white hair. Bleach white, not like slightly grey, salt and pepper white, bleach white. He took it and looked outside the room. Dr. Benjamin was bald, the young nurse has bright blond hair, certainly not going white already? he looked at the last nurse, shorter, older, bigger. But her hair was brown… Maybe her hair was starting to go grey? He brushed the thought out of his mind as he removed the hair from his hand.

As the hair fell to the floor, Phil walked into the room. "Hey! Look who' awake!" Phil exclaimed with his famous optimism. "Hey Phil…" Jason groaned with a smile on his face, all his friends were here. "How ya feelin?" Phil asked almost soothingly, like he didn't want to startle the allegedly sick teenager. "Fine I guess…" Jason started, but was stopped by Laura, who poked her head in. "Hey Jason! glad your feeling better! Mom's here with Rachel." She paused and looked behind her, Her black hair flowing with her. She stepped to the side as the rest of the Lifeson family walked in. Rachel was small, but bared a striking resemblance to her brother Phil. she had Paler skin like Phil, with similar features and short, black hair. Mrs Lifeson was medium height, Tanned woman who's El Salvadorian heritage showed through her features. Mr Lifeson was tall, built with a military, close cropped haircut showing his recent retirement as a General in the Army.

"How are you feeling Jason?" Mrs Lifeson's asked, her caring attitude manifesting itself into words. "Good I guess… can we get the Doctor in here? I would like to know what the heck I have so I can get on with my life…" Jason stated bluntly, obviously irritated. I don't want sympathy. Jason thought. I wanna get out of here… as he said that Doctor Benjamin walked in, with a worried expression. "Um listen, Jason…" The doctor reluctantly began, obviously nervous. " I don't know how to say this… But we don't know exactly… Uh what you have…" He muttered looking to the floor. "Don't KNOW?!" Mr Lifeson exclaimed, his anger started to flair. "Don't…. know?" Jason repeated a little quieter, fear rushing into his mind. He started getting dizzy, but was able to compose himself. everyone in the room stared aghast at the Doctor.

"Doctor Benjamin please, I can take it from here." A deep voiced boomed from outside his room door. a tall, very scary looking man walked in dressed in a sports jacket, with a long-sleeve button-up shirt and khaki pants. Strange since it was getting a little hot for that. "My name is Doctor Cage." The man introduced as Doctor Benjamin stalked out, clearly intimidated by the tall man. "And what you have is a very rare disease, found in only few people every decade."

"What's it called?" Jason asked, finding his voice. Doctor Cage sighed. "The name given to it… Is Dinecrosis." He handed a file to Jason. Cliff, Markus, and Phil gathered around to look at it "Di-Necro-sis?" Cliff separated the name out loud. "Di? Necro? that's Latin for…" Phil began. "Two. Death." Markus finished.

Chapter 3--

Jason sat in the Hospital room, not thinking about the file in his lap, no thinking about his 3 best friends around him. Not thinking about his Best Friends' family who was outside in the waiting room. Not even thinking about his two parents who were not even here yet. Nope, he was thinking about school, weirdly, school. He thought about the friends he had made there in his 3 years at the school. He thought about Jess, who he may never interact with again, Except for maybe texting and Facebook. He also thought of Bryce Jacobs.

Bryce was a guy in his school who was a little bit of a jerk, but Jason always saw the potential in him as a friend and as a person. He never had the chance to invite him over to play Halo, or going swimming, or something. He thought of all the stuff he put off, all the stuff he may never able to do. He looked at the first symptom.

Any Physical Activity may result in seizures, fainting, induced comas, and in extreme cases, Death. He took in a sharp breath, causing a quick glance from Phil, with made Markus and Cliff look at him as well. He looked at them like they were grassy. "I Gasped," Jason Scoffed, "I didn't blow up, will you three chill already?" "Sorry man…" Phil muttered, "It's not every day your best friend comes down with a extremely rare and incurable disease…" Jason sighed and rubbed his Temples. "look I'm sorry, It says here that if I do any physical activity for more than an hour, I could die, won't be able to do Track, I can't have fun without worrying about my heart stopping randomly…" Jason started to become over-come by fear at his own words as tears began welling up in his eyes. "Hey, hey Jase, listen," Markus yelled gripping Jason's shoulders. Jason calmed down and regained his senses and calmed himself down.

He looked down at the next two symptoms. Changes in physical appearance. Increased muscle mass. Cliff looked over Jason's shoulder at the file. "The disease makes you buff? that's… not something I've seen before." He muttered… Cliff then looked over at the symptom before that. "It alters your appearance? what like what you look like?" Ciff asked. "It depends on the patient" Doctor Cage explained as they entered the room. "It mostly alters Hair color and texture, Eye color, mostly your facial structure, but in certain occasions it does alter Skin Pigment." "Hair? wait a minute…" Cliff said, remembering something. He took his hand and put it against the side of the head where he saw the white hair. He separated the hair looking close at Jason's head.

"Cliff stop, what are you doing?" Jason asked in annoyance. "Aha! look! right here!" Cliff shouted in triumph as he continued looking at Jason's head. Cliff's brother's along with Doctor Cage moved toward Cliff and looked where the hair was separated, and where shocked by what they saw. scattered among the multiple dirty blond hairs, where pure white hairs. They weren't very numerous, but they where noticeable. "I predict that The Patient's entire head is going to be that color by the end of the weak." Doctor Cage bluntly explained. "I have a name you know" Jason growled. "And your eyes are getting.. bluer Jason." Phil pointed out. "Wow, this is going faster then usual. I must comfort my research about this." Doctor Cage muttered, walking out of the room

"Oh yes, an Jason, we found your step-mother Julia, turns out she was present at the investigation at your father's lab. Her phone was confiscated and that's why she could not call. She and your father have been released and are on the way over." He explained walking to the door. "Wow" Jason exclaimed, "that's the first time she has had a valid excuse to ignore me" "Yes well before she went to your father's lab she was shopping for clothes with her friends, we tapped the credit and debit cards to find her, she was using an account called 'Jason's College fund'" Doctor Cage called while he shut the door. "Dude doesn't beat around the bush does he?" Phil almost growled. "Don't worry about it, it's classic Julia." Jason scoffed

It was a little later that Mr. Alexander and Julia finally got to the hospital. Julia came in with a very distressed look on her face. The first weds out of her mouth were "Oh my you gave us quite a scare" As she smiled that fake, plastic smile she had while patting his head. "Jase, what exactly do you have?" Mr. Alexander asked. Jason sighed as he picked up his file and gave it to his father. Cliff, Markus, and Phil all started to leave the room at their parents request, Phil looked back and quickly gave Jason a reassuring nod. Having them here is making this whole thing better. Jason thought. he looked down and saw that he was ever so slightly more tan than he was before, a by-product of the stupid disease? Or just a little time in the Sun? Jason wasn't too sure, and at the moment he did not want to know, too much too think about.

He sat there in his bed looking at the bottle of pills on his lap. He was alone right now, well accept for the young nurse taking his blood. "Why are you doing this again?" Jason asked wearily, looking at the needle as the Nurse try to find the vein on his arm. "Doctor Cage said he needed blood samples to try to find a cure to your disease, and he needs blood for that." She replied sweetly. "Yeah but-" he caught cut off by the prick of the needle, and looked at it as all of a sudden he saw red liquid go throughout the tube and a sudden dizzy feeling. "Okay that feels weird" Jason muttered "Why are you taking so much?" he asked her. "Doctor cage wants to be very thorough, he requested three." She replied again. She finished and bandaged the prick, and Jason looked at the three little test tubes of blood. Gross he thought as he looked out of his room window. He looked at his father, who was talking to Doctor Cage, and Julia talking to the Lifesons. She was waving her hands in the air, probably talking about the break in and making a big deal about it

The Nurse smiled one last time and made her exit out of the door. everyone outside of the door looked at her and got up as she spoke. Jason's dad came in and told him the best thing he has ever heard in his life. "Alright Jason, they said we can go home let's go."

Chapter 4---

Jason looked into the bathroom mirror, not believing anything he saw. His whole body has almost completely changed. For one thing, as awkward as it was to admit it, his body was almost perfect. He had never been one to show a lot of muscle on his body, but now it was everywhere. His chest, abs, arms, legs, all were clearly defined. He now had a deep, natural tan, his eyes were deep cobalt blue, the kind of blue that you notice even from 30 yards away. His hair was the worst in his opinion though, because now it was bleach white, not an ounce of color anywhere. His face even change a little, his upper lip now came out a little, and got a little bit redder. and his nose was now turned up instead of down like before. In short, he looked completely different, he almost showed no shadow of his formal self.

He sighed. Julia and his dad were out, He was home alone, there was nothing to do. Maybe he should call the Lifeson's? Maybe they could come over, or he could go over there. All he knew was that he was bored out of his mind. Just as he moved for the house phone, the doorbell rang. He walked quickly toward the door and opened it up. Standing there was the last person he ever expected to see

"Hi I'm looking for…" The Auburn head girl looked up with a plate of brownies under plastic wrap. "Oh hi I'm sorry I…. wait…Jason?" Jess asked looking at him closely. "Oh…. uh, h-hey jess" Jason replied with a look of shock. "What hap- I mean you look…" She stuttered at the new him. "I know, I know it's weird." Jason said "can I help you with something?" "Oh yeah!" she exclaimed when she remembered what she came for. "I wanted to give you these." She explained giving him the plate of brownies. "I saw what happened at school, I wanted to make sure you were okay…" "Oh you saw that?" Jason laughed, then his face became serious. "I uh, I'm kinda sick, that's why I am… well… different." Jason explained. "But what could make-? I mean how did it? What the heck to you have?" She asked in amazement.

Jason motioned for her to come inside, so she stepped in and sat on the couch in the living room. "It's called Dinecrosis…" Jason explained. "I can't explain it… But… it changes a person's bodily structure, it makes someone looks different. But, there are very grave consequences if I do physical activity, I could get really sick or even die. This doctor, Doctor Cage, gave me these pills…" Jason lifted up the bottle of pills to show Jess, "I have to take these so the physical activity of walking all day doesn't get me sick, it kinda has advantages, but the physical activity thing kinda kills it." "Wow…" Jess replied, "So, how did you get it? Did you catch it… or…." "I think it's a rare genetic defect." Jason answered, "As a matter of fact I think I'm the youngest to show signs, or something like that…. So they might find a cure for me!" "That's good! always remain optimistic!" Jess happily inquired. Jason saw straight through her smiling face and into the freaked out thoughts inside her head

Deciding to save her the awkward pity, he got up and found his computer bag. "So, I usually go over to my friends house if my dad and my step-mom aren't back by now, so I guess I'll see you later maybe?" He asked, filling his computer back with his Iphone, Ipods, Ipad, and Macbook. Jess watched him fill the bag, and suddenly realized something. She looked around, observing the giant flat-screen TV, game room you could clearly see, the multiple game consoles, his Apple products he was packing into a bag, he was filthy rich, why would he go over to a friends house, when his house was so large and entertaining? Then she noticed something else, there were to pictures anywhere in his house, just modern art. There were no family pictures, or artwork of something dumb he drew as a kid that was all over her house. She realized his family was broken, most likely this family he went too was the real family to him, no wonder he was anxious to leave.

he packed up and smiled at her, heading to the door. "So maybe we will see each other later in the-" as he talked, the door suddenly opened, showing Phil and Markus' frightened faces. "Jason, oh thank… you need to come with us!" "What? what are you guys doing here?" Jason asked, shocked. "We tried to call you house? why didn't you answer?" Markus asked, ignoring his question. Jason walked over to his house phone and picked it up, putting it to his ear. "There's no sound at the other end? Did someone cut the lines?" Panicking, he looked at his Iphone, it showed that is was searching for a signal "It never had a problem before, my Cell is being jammed!" Jason muttered, Jess stood up looking at the three. "What is going on? what's this even mean?" She asked in a frustrated tone. Markus grabbed Jason by the arm as Phil grabbed Jess' hand. "let's go, we have to go now!" Phil yelled.

The four bolted across Jason's yard, cutting corners that Jess knew nothing about. after a while of going over fences and through bushes, they arrived at the Lifeson's fence. Phil climb it, the Jason. then Jess, and finally Markus. They ran to the other side of the yard and quickly made their way into the house.

Jason took his medication, hoping that the running he just went through wouldn't kill him. "Wh-Why did we just run to your house?" Jason asked, out of breath. "because your in danger Jason!" Phil exclaimed. "Doctor Cage found out that there is some people after you! we can't explain now! but-but…. Jason there is something else…" Markus hesitated. Phil looked at Markus, then Jason

"Julia and your dad are…. dead." Phil muttered. Jason's eyes widened in horror, "What? did you just say…?" Jason asked. "A car drove up beside them, and shot them both, they both died… I'm sorry Jason…" Phil finished.
