Flesh......Zombies.....Oh My :O

Flesh.....Zombies......Oh My(25)

I walked outside into the cold night and sat down on the grass. Everything was crumbling around me and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Sam....I didn't want to lose her. But, the monsters Rick described made me think it was better for her just to die. I wouldn't want her to become that....But then, what if she was like Rick? He could control it, well he told us he could control it. I had began to think there was just no cure to this disease. What if there were different versions of the virus all around the world?  We were just a bunch of humans who had barely survived with guns and weapons that we found. We didn't stand a chance.

Rick sat down by me and then sighed deeply. We had given him a change of clothes and let him shower. Everyone was curious about him, but we just said he was a lost survivor. No one knew about Sam. The excuse was that she got food poisoning and was recovering in the barn. Rick would be staying in there with her and we told him if he got hungry...well he could just go hunt on his own.

"The others..they aren't like me and if they find us. Well find you...they will kill you, you know?" Rick said numbly.

I stared out into the trees and shrugged. "They can try."

"They can try...and they may succeed. What you don't get is that were hunters......we can smell you. The blood and your flesh calls to us. I just learned how to turn that craving off. Now when ever I smell an animal...it's like running to a mound of pancakes you know?"

I nodded. "I don't want this to happen to her." I cried and finally broke down. I had been keeping a strait face with my brothers so they knew I was brave and I could handle it. I wanted them to be able to trust me and not keep things from me. They thought by doing that they were protecting me...in a way they were. But I didn't like people keeping things from me.

Like Robert

If I had known he missed his family that much I would have gone with him! I would have been able to talk him out of leaving to, if he had even bothered to mention this to me.

Rick put his arms around me and drew me to his chest. I cried and snotted all over his shirt.

"Oh sorry." I sniffled. "You got all clean and here I am rubbing my boogers all over you."

"It's okay. I find it quite interesting. When I cry now...its disgusting."

"oh..why?"

"Well for one its blood...and very messy." he laughed.

I tried to laugh but instead it came out like a wet gurgle.

"You've cried before...like in the state your in?" I asked stupidly.

He looked over at me and then smiled sadly. This was one of those times when I wish I hadn't said anything. He looked like he was close to tears but then he cleared his throat. "Me and my girlfriend were among the chosen group of people....for the experiment. At first we were kind of honored about being chosen. But then they told us what would happen and we panicked. We were restrained and they injected us with the virus. When we woke up..she was just like the others. A monster...that just wanted flesh. She said the virus gave us more power and that we should use it to our advantage. They...over ran the people..and it was so gruesome. She tried to get me to go with them but I refused. Ever since then I have kind of been running from them. From my past. I have been trying to forget everything and have a normal life. It's way harder than it looks. Haha. All this time I haven't stopped loving her and occasionally I cry. I cry for what I became and what I lost in the process. Sometimes...I feel like I'm not even human."

I frowned slightly and gave him an awkward side hug. "It'll be okay. You have your humanity and sadly they lost it. You just have to hold on to that part of yourself."
