Amongst The Dead : C.H.

.Sexual Tension.

Luke barked and wagged his tail, "Help me get him in the car." I stood up before leaning back down ready to pick him up. Ashton's hand clamps my shoulder, "I've got him." I nod and let Ashton pick Luke up with ease. We walk back to the car me telling the boys who shadow, "Let's get fucking out of here." Calum jumps in the passenger seat leaving me in-between Michael and Luke, Ashton taking up the drivers seat after placing Luke on top of both mine and human Luke's laps. Starting the car Ashton turns to me with an expectant look on his face, "Stop in Medford there's a servo just on the other side we can fill up the container and scout for food." Agreeing he drove into Medford.

Everyone's tired, wet and cold lucky for us the heater still worked.

The town's empty....no deadheads, no mangled bodies and no cars anywhere to be seen, "This is fucking creepy."
"You haven't seen it all Michael." They should be grateful, it's hard to come across completely deserted towns they're the safest and always have the most necessities. The servo came in view and Ashton slowed the car down pulling into the fuel lane closest to the door, "Ashton will fill both the container and car with fuel, Calum will keep guard with my crossbow. Michael and Luke you will scavenge for food, water and dog food. I'll take care of the clothes and blankets. Luke you stay here boy okay?" I got a bark in response and everyone got straight to their assigned jobs.

I lead Michael and Luke into the servo, my hunting knife gripped firmly in my hand since I had left my katana on the road, too worried about Luke at the time and raised it ready to strike, "It's clear, food, water and dog food that's it. Fill your packs." They both shake their heads taking out the knives they stashed in their jeans earlier and left. Searching around the counter I find two big blankets and several jackets and jeans. Snatching them all I stuff them into my pack then make my way to the medicine section, picking up some bandages and ointment for my wound that had re-opened.

I finished grabbing what I needed and walked out to the car where Ashton had just finished filling the container up. Calum stands in the same spot with my crossbow poised and ready patiently waiting for the rest of his band to come out. Walking past them, I reach the back seat door Luke looking up at me with a knowing look in his eyes as if he knew exactly what I was planning on doing. I drop my pack onto the floor inside the Hummer, keeping out the bandages and ointment and lift my shirt up before unwrapping Ashton's bandage, "Shit." Blood oozes out, the stitches torn and hanging from my skin. 

I scrunch up Ashton's bandage and throw it to the ground before ripping a piece of fabric from my v-neck using it to wipe the blood. Once the blood is cleared I pour ointment on the wound while pulling out the hanging stitches, "motherfucker...fuck...stupid...fucking shit." Cusses and groans left my mouth left and right. I struggle to tug out the last few stitches, "You could've just asked for help." I jumped turning at the voice, my working fingers jabbing into my wound at the action, "Holy fuck! For fucks sake don't fucking do that! Ow shit!" 

Ashton raises his eyebrow at me, "Don't fucking give me that look, I'm capable of doing the fucker myself." He proceeds in giving me the same look pointing out the obvious, "Pfft you're just making a fucking mess of it." Tilting my chin up I reply like the smartass I am, "I'm doing fine."
"Whatever you say, plus if I were you I'd do it more quietly next time." I raise my eyebrows at him, slowly moving my eyes from his face to over his shoulder where Luke, Calum and Michael stood eyes wide and mouths open. Confused about their reactions I thought back on what I've done in the past few minutes. Realisation smacks me and I yell at the boys in front of me, "Fucking perves!" Ashton cracks up, Luke barking with him clearly finding the situation funny, "Damn you teenage boys and your fucking hormones!" 

The three boys blushed a bright red (matching Michael's hair). Michael  the first to speak up, "Can you blame us? you're the hottest girl we've seen in 6 months, you can expect some sexual tension." I roll my eyes at him famous or not, alive or dead I wasn't willing to picture myself having sex with any of them for their enjoyment, "In your dreams Clifford!"
"Oh but you are." He replied winking at me, sending the boys into hysterics, "Ha ha ha now hurry up and get your asses in the car, we can eat on the road." Quickly finishing cleaning my wound and wrapping a new bandage around it the boys coughed, "Before we go anywhere new clothes would be great."
