Out Of Sight -A Zombie Novel

Another Day In Paradise

S C A R L E T

I gripped my machete tightly, before raising it above my head. One of the zombies had caught sight of us and began to charge.

When it got close enough, I slammed my machete down and blood poured everywhere. Then like a ball, the zombies head rolled away and it's dead limp body fell to the ground.

I wiped the blood that got on my face off, before getting ready to kill another zombie. However, all nineteen zombies noticed us and started to charge at us in full speed. Some were limping and others were running. Many of them had blood everywhere, and some had blood matted onto their hair. I shuddered in disgust.

I charged at the first Walker that came close to me. It quickly tried to grab ahold of me, but I was too quick for it. I turned on my heel, dodging his attempt to tackle me. Then when he turned around to try and tackle me again, I plunged the machete in his stomach and I pulled it out quick before finishing it off with my machete to its head. I quickly pulled the machete out of its skull, before running to another rotter.

However, before I reached the other Walker, out of the corner of my eye I spotted Samantha on the ground wrestling with a female walker. I quickly ran to her aid, and chopped the rotter's head off, sending ounces of blood onto Samantha.

I offered Samantha my hand so I could help lift her off the ground. She gladly accepted while wiping blood of her face with her sleeve.

"Thanks" She muttered.

I nodded and patted her back.

"Try not to fall on the ground again" I told her, before dodging a walker that tried to grab me.

Once I had chopped the zombie's head off. I immediately went to work with another who seemed so desperate to get to me.

"Dully noted" Sam replied.

I once again plunged the machete into the skull of the dead human. Leaving its limp corpse on the ground.

This time however, when I tried pulling my machete out, it wouldn't budge. I gritted my teeth together and used all my might to try and get it out. I turned my head to the right when I heard a snarl like growl. A slow one, was inching its way towards me.

I began to panic, and tried pulling my machete out again. Yet, the rotter was about one yard away from me so I decided to leave the machete in the dead corpse and use my throwing knives. I quickly grabbed one from the holder by my ankle, and threw it at the walker hitting it square in the head. It's body immediately dropped before another two more came running towards me.

I knew I wasn't going to be able to take them down by myself so I looked to my right to see Samantha struggling with one. I looked to my left only to find Raiden trying to get rid of another two.

We were all struggling and I had a feeling one of us wasn't going to make it. I once again tried taking my machete out of the dead corpse and sighed in relief when it slid out. Thankfully, I had time to raise the machete and plunge it into the one of their necks. However, I wasn't fast enough for the second dead one that tackled me to the ground, and made me drop my machete.

I started struggling as the corpse snapped its rotting teeth in my face. I tried pushing the male rotter off of me, but he wouldn't budge.

"A little help here!" I yelled.

I turned my head as the zombie's face got a little to close to me. I could feel it's hot nasty breath on my cheek and I winced at the closeness.

I was slowly loosing my strength and I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold the zombie off off of me for long.
