Bite Me

Chapter Six

(AURORA POV)

"It's been hours." Emma whines.

"This will take them a long time Emma, they'll be back." I told her.

Seth has regained his strength, and is pacing around the shed. Emma watches her father freak out, which makes her scared.

"I'll be right back." I stand and leave Emma and Josephine in the car.

I walk over to Seth and speed walk to keep up with him. "Can you stop this? You're scaring Emma."

"I'm not doing anything."
"You're pacing, it's stressing her out."

"So what? I will do what I want. That girl has had it easy. She deserves to be this scared right now."

"What is wrong with you? That's your daughter?" I asked disgustedly.

He stops walking and puts his face to mine, his body almost touching mine. "I will do what I please with my daughter, just because you're fucking my son, doesn't mean you have any influence on Emma, got it?" He yelled at me.

I take a step back, I'm terrified of him. Silas is nothing like him. His voice was echoing through the shed, he was glaring at me with his fists clenched. He looks me up and down, then continues pacing.

I let out a breath I never knew I was holding.

I hear the shed door open, I turn expecting Seth to be opening to get fresh air like he did an hour ago, but Seth isn't there. Someone's opening it from the other side. Seth must've closed the shed wrong.

I ran towards the door and tried to close it, but two more pairs of hands were pulling at the shed door, they overpower me.

I stumble backwards and yell out for the others.

The shed doors open and a hoard of zombies stand on the other side.

A hoard.

Maybe 20.

I take steps back.

I look around for the others. Emma jumps out of the car while Henry and Seth get into the car. Emma runs to me while Seth fights Josephine who's trying to get him to stop from driving away. Henry sits in the backseat waving his hand for us to run in the car. 

I grab onto Emma's hand and run for the car. Seth punches Jospehine and knocks her unconscious.

Seth speeds through the hoard of zombies. "Hey!" I scream. "Stop!"

Seth leaves Emma, his own daughter and I in the shed with a hoard of zombies. I continue pulling Emma to the back of the shed. I look for a way out.

Emma is screaming and crying. 15 seconds and we're dead. The zombies are already sprinting toward us.

I spotted a window almost near the roof of the shed. I open the window and attempt to pick up Emma, but she's too heavy, I'm not strong enough to push her through.
"Stay here!" I yell and pull her slightly beside the window.

"Shit!" I yell, my eyes scan the room quickly and I spot a rotten working bench and run over to it, I pull it towards me and it hardly budges. I run to the other side and push forward, giving me more strength and using my body weight to push it to the window. Finally, I get it directly under the window. I push Emma to climb on the bench and pull herself out the window. I hear her whimper as she wiggles out. I feel hands wrap around my arm. I spin around and push the zombie backwards, causing it to fall. I'm completely surrounded now. I climb on top and brace my hands on the metal window and hoist myself half way through before a zombie grabs my foot, trying to pull me back down.
