I'm being pressed against someone and they are pressed against the wall. The Boneheads run right past us and then when the zombies are gone the person removes their hand. I quickly kick my leg back and knock the person on the ground. They get up and try to grab me and I grab their arm and throw them against the wall and pull my knife to their throat.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I say in a demonic tone.
"Is that how you thank your savior? Women." He laughs and I got irradiated. I put the knife back in my boot. And slam him on the ground and put my boot on his chest. I pull my flashlight out and shine it in his face.
"Your a violent one. I like that." He says with a wink. I roll my eyes and suck my teeth. He looks like the classic 'handsome jock-type' from high school. His hair was cut in the back and sides and had the douche swoop up in the front. I remove my foot and leave to find Dusk.
"Oi, Where are you going?"
"...." I say nothing and continue to walk.
"The silent treatment? How old are you anyway? Five?"
"Go away."
"Nope." He follows me until I throw a knife and miss his head by an inch. He freezes.
"Aw I missed."
"Are you crazy?"
"I lost my sanity along time ago." I smirk and he looks fearful. He coughs trying to regain his 'cool' composure. He pulls the knife from the wall and hands it to me.
"Anyways, the name's Jason."
"Ok, I care why?" I say as I take the knife.
"Rude much?"
"I don't care."
I start to walk again and I see Dusk.
I climb up on the rafter using a pile of books. And of course the jock follows me.
"What are you doing?"
"Minding my business." I take my sniper out and lay on the raft. I pull my face to the lense and start dropping the Boneheads that surround Dusk. After I kill the last one, I start to put the gun away. After that I pull Dusk up. He looks like he's been through the worst trauma of his life.
"What took you so long? And whose that?"
"A parasite." I say coldly.
"Rude, the name's Jason."
"Okay, I'm Dusk and this is Da..." I cover his mouth and give him a glare.
"I'll don't want the parasite to know my name."
"Okay...."
I go to the sky light and motion for dusk to come here. He gives me a leg up. And after I'm on the roof I pull him up. He helps the parasite up. I climb up off the roof. And I hear Dusk and the parasite laughing. I turn back and send them 'if you don't shut up' type glare.
"Dawn~" The parasite coos my name and I almost gag.
"What do you want parasite?"
"Just this~" He spins me around and leans forward and I step to the side. He falls forward and I put my foot on his back.
"Dawn relax! It was a dare. I didn't think he'd be stupid enough to actually do it!"
I look back at Dusk and start to walk his way. He backs away but his back hit a tree. "Why?"
"He thought I was your boyfriend." I gag at the notion. "Really dawn?"
"Yes reall like ewww."
"I'm not THAT ugly Dawn."
"You are to me because, your my little bro."
"Should that be a diss or a compliment?"
"Both."
"Gee thanks."
"Anytime."
I walk faster leaving the Dusk and the parasite to talk. I hear bits and parts of their conversation but my legs are screaming. I ignore it and keep moving. Eventually, legs give out and I fall backwards. Dusk runs towards me with worry and concern in his eyes.
"I'm fine just a little fatigue."
"Umm... Dawn when was the last time you ate?"
I ponder this for a moment. It's been almost two days but, who's counting?
"Almost two days." I'm shocked I told the truth even though, I had every intention to lie. Dusk's eyes go wide and looks like hes about to say something.
Finally the parasite catches up. "Is it break time or something?"
Dusk and I face palm in unison.
"Dawn the Dummie here, hasn't eaten in two days. So her legs are fatigue."
Dusk leans against a tree and I throw my knife next to his head.
"My legs are fatigue not my arms. Don't underestimate my condition." There is an awkward silence. Well more like 'this chick is crazy' silence.
"Well I'm just gonna carry yo-" Jason starts to come behind me and try to lift me up. I pull my pistol from my bookbag and press it to his forehead.
"Like I said, my legs aren't working. My arms are just fine."
"Well since you want to go all psycho looks like we're setting up camp here."
I nod in agreement.
"Um... Dawn not that I'm complaining... Can you please remove the gun? Please please please?" The parasite begs and I laugh. I put the gun in my bag.
"Dawn I'm going to search for food so, I'm leaving you here with the paras- I mean Jason."
I'm laughing hysterically and holding my sides.
"Not cool bro, not cool." Jason says shaking his head.
"Whatever... Dawn play nice."
I give Dusk a thumbs up and he throws me back my knife. I put it back in boot.
"So, Dawn~" The parasite gets closer as Dusk gets farther away. "How old are you?"
"Classified."
"Okay... Where are you from?"
"Classified."
"Can't you say anything but 'Classified'?"
"Anonymous."
"You know what?!"
"What?!"
"I've never had so much trouble from a girl in my life."
"I care, why?"
"Dawn your just too much for me to handle."
"And your not enough for me"
"Dawn~" He coos. "Let me give you enough to handle." He leans his face forward.
I pull my hand back to punch him away from me. Dusk comes from no where and tackle him before I could punch him. Dusk is punching him right now and the parasite is begging him to stop. This is going to be a long trip.
