Bite Me

Chapter Four

(Mature scenes in this chapter.)

A huge bang makes everyone sit up in their seats.

"What was that!" Scarlett yelled.

"Oh god." Josephine panicked.

"Shut the fuck up." Silas said, his hand resting on my thigh.

I haven't said a word, I'm speechless.

Another bang.

"It's coming from outside of the shed." Harvey whispered.

 "What do we do?" Scarlett asked. "Is it a zombie?"

"I don't know." Harvey answered.

"We should kill it." Scarlett said.

"Calm down, psycho." Silas rolled his eyes.

"It's making too much noise against the metal, it'll draw more zombies to us." Josephine said.

"Well fuck." I whisper.

"Let's go with my plan and go kill it!" Scarlett said.

Nobody responded. "God you guys are such pussies." Scarlett opened the door and got out of the car.

"For fuck sakes," Silas huffs. "Scarlett get back in the car you crazy bitch!" He jumps out of the car and chases after her.

Harvey, Josephine and I jump out of the car and run over to them.

"Deal with one, or deal with ten." Scarlett grabbed the screwdriver.

"Hello!?"

We all stood silent. It came from outside of the shed.

"Is someone in there? Please help us!" A man shouted.

Silas went to the shed opening. "How many of you are out there?" He asked.

"There's three of us, please! We have a child with us!" The man pleaded.

"We ran out of gas along the road, we've been walking along the road for shelter." Another male voice answers.

Silas's eyes rise and he raises the shed door.

"What're you doing!" Harvey yells.

"Silas!" Josephine yells.

Outside the shed were two men, both looking to be in their mid forties, a little girl standing unprotected beside the two men. She looks to be eight or nine years old, she has dark black hair and green eyes, and her face is sprinkled with freckles.

"Silas?" The little girl squeals with excitement.

Harvey, Scarlett and Josephine exhale with relief, while I stand on edge, completely confused.

"Emma." Silas runs and meets the little girl halfway, picking her up and hugs her tightly.

"Fuck, I'm so glad you're okay." He says while hugging her.

The two men stare at Silas. One of the men walks over and pulls the little girl out of Silas's arms.  

"You didn't give two fucks about us." He swings and punches Silas in the face.

I gasped and ran over to Silas so I could sturdy him from falling from impact.

The little girl was pulled with such force that she landed on the floor, she looks like she's going to cry.

Silas doesn't seem to be fazed by the harsh punch. "Don't fucking touch her, that's your daughter!" He looks angry.

Emma stands and wraps her arms around herself.
