All I remember after the hatred 'fuck you' I gave my father was him approaching me, his fist balled up and it hit the side of my face. I blacked out immediately after and woke up all beat up in another room where my group found me.
I dont remember all the hate and how the bruises had occured but honestly I didnt care.
I just wanted out of this place.
Mason and Dan were on either side of me, holding up my limping body while Kyle and Smidge looked for places to escape.
I barely could keep my eyes opened from all the pain that rushed throughout my body, but all the chained zombies in the room kept me awake with caution.
Dan and Mason kept me going as we made our way past the zombies and down into the basement where we all started off.
I noticed that Isabella still slumped in her chair.
"Is she okay?" I asked slurring my words since I was in so much pain.
"I dont kno, shes been sleeping for a while." Mason replied as they placed me gently onto a seat next to Isabella. The rest of the group went looking for ways to get out while I relaxed my muscles so that I could walk on my own.
"Isabella." I called out to her.
Slowly her head began to rise as she moaned in pain.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
Her head darted over to look at me but those eyes that were once a bright green were now galzed white. The girl that I met a while back ago as a zombie was now actually a zombie.
My body freaked out as it tried to climb away from the creature that sat before me.
As I landed onto the floor, my metal chair came clashing down making a loud thud echo throughout the basement.
Everything became still and silent except for the moans of Isabella.
Everyone seemed to run back in slow motion, my vision began to go all fuzzy as I tried to wrap my head about what happened and how she died.
Jessica helped me to my feet and placed me in a different seat as they made sure Isabella was tied tightly against her seat since we didnt have any weapons to end her suffering.
"Guys I think I found a way out." Emily announced out loud.
I slowly helped myself to my feet as I limped over towards where Emily was.
"Megan, sit you need rest." Dan ran over to me and held me up so that I wasnt putting a lot of weigh onto my limping legs.
We walked over towards Emily as she pointed over to a small metal door. Dan slowly set me down on the floor as he and Mason started to pry the door off the hindges.
You could tell that behind the metal door was a tunnel. I didnt care where it lead to I just wanted out of here.
"Do you think its safe?" Mason asked as they looked down the tunnel.
"I honestly dont cafe if it is or not, I just want out of here." I truthfully announced.
"What about Smidge and Kyle?" Dani asked.
We all stood in silence as we tried thinking of a plan to let Kyle and Samantha know.
"I guess I'll stay back. When they come back well start headin down the tunnel after you guys." Dani added in.
We all thought long and hard about whether or not to leave Dani. Mason argued with her that it was suicide to stay.
"What if something happened to them and they never come back?" Mason made a good point.
"But what if they are alive and when they come back were all gone." Dani shot back.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked her.
She looked down at me sitting on the floor. You can tell she knew I was in pain and needed help. She knew that it wasnt right to leave Kyle and Sam. You could tell that she was not going to back down from her decision.
"Yes, I'm sure." She stated with confidence.
Dan nodded his head as he picked me up and helped me through the hole. He followed close behind to watch out for me.
Emily followed us in next, then Jessica.
*Masons P.O.V"
"Dani, you cant stay here by yourself. Let me stay with you." I suggested but she nodded her head no.
"I'm not letting you." She crossed her arms around her chest and looked over at the tunnel. "Go." She whispered.
I walked over to the tunnel, but something stopped me from going through. I looked back at Dani and she looked sad and scared.
"Dani." I steernly said as I made my way back over to her.
"Mason you have to g-" I stopped her mid-sentence and grabbed her face gently then leaned in to kiss her.
She leaned in also but last second pulled away before our lips could touch.
"You have to go Mason."
I could feel my heart shattering as I slowly droppedy hands back to my sides and walked back over to the tunnel.
"Mason." Dani called out.
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry."
