"It's a mask, it's a lie

It's the only home I've ever known

'Cause being who I really am

Has only left me more alone"-Citizen Soldier

Tears stream down my face. Why did life have to do this to me? I shakly reach for my gun. I took a couple times to grasp the grip of my pistol. I unholster the gun with a click. I point the gun, cocking it in the process. My hand starts to tremble, making it hard to keep the weapon held high.

I take a deep breath.

I can do this. Tears gush from my eyes faster. Miguels dead body was up and walking, heading straight for me.

How could i be so stupid?

I should have known about the coming back even if the person that died did not get bitten.

A sob rips from my throat.

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

Miguel reaches a pale hand towards me. The hand grips the side of my face, making my head tilt to the side. Miguels mouth reaches for my neck like he was going to give it a kiss. A kiss he has given to me time and time again.

I In take a sharp breath. The barrel of my gun pressed against the side of Miguels temple. Miguel's teeth were inches away from my skin. A bang sounds as my finger pushes down on the trigger. Before Miguel's teeth could clunch onto a section of my neck his body drops to the ground in a heap. His body falling looked like it was in slow motion. I felt like it took hours for his body to hit the concret when in reality it was only seconds.

My whole body quivers in grief. The gun slips through my fingers, falling to the ground with a loud clang. Tears kept streaming and streaming down my face. I coudnt handle the weight of my body anymore. I fall to the ground with an anguish sob.

I crawl over towards Miguels body and pull him into my lap once again. My whole being was covered in blood. Some was hers from the wound in her shoulder. But most of the blood was from the killing she did. The other half of the blood was something even worse. I didnt care that i just killed my whole family. It didnt help with my grief but at least they were dead.

I have been covered in blood before. I have soaked in my own blood. I have killed before. None of that has ever phased me. Whats worse then my own blood, whats worse then killing, is Miguels blood covering me. I scream on his shoulder.

I didnt know what I was going to do. I couldnt stay here forever but thats all I wanted to do. I just wanted to wash away in the wind and join Miguel again. The overwhelming pain i was feeling felt like nothing i have felt before.

I have been in physical and mental pain before but nothing compares to this pain. It felt like a snake was coiling around my heart making it hard to breath. Making it hard to think. I couldn't see anything tears covering my vision. I couldn't hear because of the water raging in my ears.

Everyone came around trying to get me away from Miguel. Each one tried to talk to me, but I felt like I was submerged into water. I scream and scream at them. I screamed so much my voice got hoarse. I cried and cried until all that came out was dry sobs. Everything was muffled. Everyones words sounded miles away. My sobs sounded like screeches of a pained animal going through nothing but pain for centuries.

A flurry of carmel hair fills my vision. Cora hold up my chin making me look at her. Before the girl could say anything I beat her to it. "Get everyone to gather their things. We're leaving." I snap leaving no room for comments. I look back down at Miguels face and couldnt help but think of the peace that was all over his face.
