Chapter 7

Katia's POV

I felt a tight grip on my ankles, it was Priscilia.

" Cat got your tongue?" she said and began laughing.

She touched me, was I infected? No. Luckily I was saved, I wore jeans, it covered my skin. I wasn't infected. I heard Nurse Cannibal running towards me, and this time she said something that horrified me.

"I can sniff your flesh, your fear. I'm coming to get you." she running at full speed. I could hear her get closer to me, I ran outside, it was night, she said the infected couldn't see clearly, that was my only way- to camouflage. The nurse followed me, I was outside the asylum, she stopped, it was the noise that got her attracted towards me, yes! I became as quiet as a mouse. She stood there, mute. She was looking everywhere, concentrating on trying to hear me. I quietly bent down and took a stone in my hand and threw it towards the shed. It made a lot of noise, there were others outside as well. Them and the nurse ran towards the noise.

This was only when I could run away from there, now that I knew how to be among them. I was looking at them running towards the shed, I turned back to run away from there, but I couldn't believe my eyes! Cynthia... she...she was alive, in flesh and bones and was... was one of them.

"HOW?" words came out of my mouth. She heard me, luckily just her.

"Kate, is that you, I can't see you clearly. Oh! You must be wondering, how? Well, it does feel like dying but in the end you are still you. Come, join us you don't need to be like this, you don't need to run, no need to hide." Her hands came closer to my face, I started backing out and the unexpected happened.

She opened her mouth wide and it was black inside, she screamed like a banshee! Her eyes turned white, with dark circles around them and she screamed. The people near the shed looked towards me and began walking. I screamed loudly. AHHHHHHHH! They're going to kill me, she tilted her head and shouted even louder this time, her mouth opened wider, she began running after me. All of them did. I ran back inside the asylum. It was pitch black. I felt the railings of the chambers and walked. I kept on walking until I stumbled upon something.

I touched it in order to feel it. It was the child whom the crazy woman killed. Wet, stinking and gruesome, the cut was deep, deep enough that I could feel the wind pipe. Tears dripped from my eyes while I kept the other hand on my mouth so that they couldn't hear me. The only way for me to be temporarily safe from them was to hide in that chamber. They wouldn't come there after the Nurse murdered the woman. I hid in the darkest corner and just kept on crying and crying. I saw them wander everywhere. Their was this room in the asylum where mannequins were kept. Scary Mannequins. Some of them would tear apart limbs and heads of the mannequins. Maybe they thought it was us.

I was siting in the deepest corner. Waiting for them to leave.

"Are you done hiding?" A voice beside me said, it was Julia, she looked like one of them. My breaths became heavy but I didn't say anything.

"Katia! Where are you?" it was Priscilia. She was searching for me. But first I had to do something of Julia. The ax was kept near the body of the woman. I surely couldn't kill my friend, but at least I could stop her. I took the ax and held it opposite and hit it on Julia's head repeatedly. I did it as quietly as possible.

"I'm sorry Jules, but I really love you." And then I hit it on her head. She fainted I guess. Again I felt so happy hitting her, Got to let go off that fear, within me. I looked at that body lying in front of me with blood all over her. I really need to find a way out...
