The dreamless Heart

The Colors of Red

As I woke up from my darkness, light shine in my eyes. I stood in front of a city, I was vary far from it. I walk to the city hoping to see someone. It look like the city was abandoned  Cars turned over and open, windows broken like my heart, city lamps flickering and trail of blood leading to many places. I look up then see a girl in a red shirt and white dress. She turns towards me. Tears started to fall down her face like its escaping the reality they see. Then I hear growls behind me, I turn around qwickly. A small pod of zombies were behind me. As I turned around a zombie jumped on me. It tried to bite me but I didn't allow it. I just sat there defending... I hear the pod of zombies getting closer. I couldn't do anything... I was weak......

BOOM¡!

The zombie that pinned me down was dead. I just layed there waiting to be killed too... but nothing happened. Then someone was running towards me.

"Don't just lay there!! Get up and run!!" They yelled as the grabbed me up.

We both ran through by a near by alleyway. We have gotten far enough where we thought it was safe. As we were catching our breath.

"Hey... my name is $%^**!@# " they said
"Hi, I'm 49" I said shyly

They gave a confused looked at me.

"Your a number?" They ask

As I was about to tell them we heard more zombies coming towards us.

"We need to head to the safe house" they said."We need to head to the safe house" they said.

As we ran through the builds and city streets it felt like I was criminal running away from the police. As we got the safe house, the person that saved me went inside first. Then the people that door point their guns at me, I sat there look at them.

"Take off your shirt." They said.

I did what they ask and took off my shirt.

"Okay you safe to come in now and put your shirt back on." They told me.

As I make my way inside everyone gave weird looks. Then I realized there was blood on my shirt. I ask for a new shirt, but they gave a sweater. But I was still happy that I was able to the blood away. I walked around alone, the place we were in a parking garage. As I got closer to the top there was less and less people. The Whole top part of the parking garage block off. I was confused of why it was block off. I just didn't care about the rules and went to the top. It was open to the light and it gave off a happy feeling. As I was up there, there two other people there. I walked up to them and greeted myself."Hi, my name is 49" I said. I scared them both

"Woah, you scared me there." They said

"I'm ◇♡□₩£ and that's *$^#!" He said

"Its nice up here" I said

"It is" they agreed "I wish every day could be like this"

"Why can't it be" i ask " up here we didn't have to worry"

As one of them looked over the other also looked. As we sat up there we didn't have to worry. As long were up hear they couldn't reach us. I looked at my them as they were still scared. Then... something bad happen... gunfire started to ring out through the building. Everybody started running. Somebody came up to looking for anyone that was confused of what was happening.

"What are you two doing up here?! " their father said.
"It was safe up here..." they said
"Well I need your help!" He said
"But-...." as they were cut off by their father
"NOW!! I need you now" their father yelled

They both ran to help him, he lets them down and then looked at me.

"If your up here hiding, then what are you protect" he said as he close the door.

...
...
What am I protecting... who am I protecting... then I hear gunfire. I qwickly got up and ran down. I walk past the people and to the gunfire, As I got closer I could hear screams.

Now it was empty homes with dead bodies all around.I Pick up a gun off the ground... then I see the two boys that was up top with me... slowly walking my as blood dips down their shirt... "i'm sorry, that i couldn't protect you" as I drew the gun up and shot the two. Even though my heart sank my feelings were lock up... then more zombies started coming out of the small homes.
Why...
Why...
....
....
...
..
.
As that madness ended and dead around me. I feel to the ground.
"What am I protecting..." I asked myself
As I looked up i saw her again... the girl with the red shirt and white dress. She cried again at me and then walked away in to city...
As tears fell down my face I tried to remember who she was.

As night fell I was outcast from the safe house and they left me in the night. I walked away with no feelings inside of me. As it the light from the safe grew distant so did I.

30 minutes later

As I reach the hills I turn back and sat down in the darkness. I watch as the safe house was set a blazed as zombies stormed in...

Who was I protecting... as tears started to fall again, the girl in red sat near me. You we protecting me... and you were protecting yourself... she hugs me as we both watch
