We find a clearing for us to rest. We don't talk. I made it awkward by asking questions and I hate myself for it. I am on watch so she can sleep. She lays down and puts her arms under her head. She stares at the sky. She is so pretty in the moonlight. I take my eyes off of her and look at the stars. I love star gazing. I look back at Tabby and her eyes are closed. I just want to have her in my arms and the temptation to kiss her was really high. I hear rustling in the trees beside me.
"Hey you!" Someone whispers loudly. I jump. Well, it's not a zombie.
"Just come here!" It says urgently. I walk over and a hand grabs me. In the moonlight I can tell that it is a lady.
"My name is Mrs. Hope and I want to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal?" I ask. She's smiles.
"I want you as my top secret agent." She explains.
"Why?" I ask.
"I need her gone." She points at Tabby. "And I will pay you."
"How much?" I ask. She thinks for a minute.
"A million dollars." I look at her with wide eyes then, glance at Tabby. I don't care if Tabby is pretty or not, money is money.
"Deal." I say. She grins.
"Great, I want you to get her to fall in love with you." She explains. "Then, break her heart so she is weak when I kill her."
"I will do the best I can, Mrs, Hope." I reply. She smiles.
"I knew you would be a good pick for the job. She says. "Now I have to go." All of a sudden she disappears. I stand there frozen. How did she do that? I walk back out of the trees. I just made a deal to help end the life of Tabby.
