Summoned

Movie night pt2

"So, three intersections straight, then two up." I whisper as I look at the intersection ahead of us, a couple of corpses aimlessly wandering around it.

(No cars around this intersection. Almost as if everybody managed to escape to the bridge behind us. Or, nobody made it this far...)

"Have a plan?" Saeko, who was right next to me, asks after a few seconds.

"Uhh, the right side looks less populated, we can just, blitz through. I see what, four corpses spread out around the right part of the intersection. I could just shoot them and be done with it, but that would make the corpses on the road ahead to start moving towards us. And as it's the road we need to take, I'd rather have the corpses there stand still while we pass." I turn to Saeko as I speak. And, just as I finish speaking, Saeko draws her sword, and licks her lips with a slight smirk...

"So then you will not mind? If I am the one to deal with this!" And her smirk turns into a full-blown grin as she charges straight towards the nearest corpses to the right, not really waiting for any sort of response from me...

(I suppose this was a, rhetorical question? Seeing that she didn't wait for my answer. Uhh, I guess she really does not want to miss her chance to 'let loose'...)

The moment Saeko closed in on the first corpse, she took a running swing at its neck, decapitating it in one clean sweep. Using the momentum of her first swing, she hunches her body forward and makes a small 'dash jump' forward, closing in to the next corpse. Which didn't even manage to turn around before its head was also rolling in the air. With her body still hunched forward, in a semi crouched position, she leaped again, towards the third corpse. Landing her boot's heel square flat in its face, an audible 'crack' as the corpse hit the ground head first, while she used said head to spring herself back, landing a few meters back. After she quickly glanced around, spotting the fourth, and last corpse in our 'way', she casually turned around to walk towards it. With a smirk on her face, she took a couple of steps towards it, before making a horizontal swing with one hand, causing the blade in her hand to make yet another head fly. All that, while I was trying to reach her...

(...Did I ever mention how it feels like I'm using cheat codes when Saeko is around?...)

The smirk still on her face, she turns her head slightly towards me. I motion her with my hand to keep moving forward to the next street. She nods and turns to charge ahead. To the nearest lone sorry corpse that happened to be on the street ahead of us. I, don't need to mention how the thing ended up becoming headless, before it could even realize who was next to it...

(...At least she's not screaming that she's wet right now...)

The road ahead was thankfully clear enough, even without Saeko 'letting loose'...

So like that, we reached the next intersection. Or to be more precise, I chased Saeko to the next intersection, who stopped right before it.

"Straight, again?" She asks as she turns to me. Her face visibly flushed as she took short, quick breaths.

"Yea two more intersections straight. Try no..." She responds to me with a nod and starts running ahead again, before I could finish...

(...And she blasted off, again...)

-Ten minutes later-

(This must have been the quickest trip towards a location post-outbreak so far...)

"The cinema should be on the street you are on. Do you see it? " Saya asks as I and Saeko keep running, with Saeko now next to me. Who thankfully, seemed to have 'calmed down'...

"Yea. There, to our left, the big whiteboard a couple of meters down." I speak up as I keep running...

"I see it." Saeko also responds as she nods.
