The ARMED and the DANGEROUS

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I can faintly hear gunshots ripping through the air, followed by a scream, then more gunshots.

What's happening?

I can now hear- still faintly- someone calling my name

"Hannah?! Hannah! Hannah come on wake up!"

Someone shakes my shoulder viciously

"Hannah come on! Your not dead!"

Dead?

Am I dying?

The voice is now serious

"Hannah this isn't funny, get the fuck up we have to get out of here! HANNAH!"

The last loud screech is the one that forces me awake.

A low moan escapes my mouth and instantly arms are thrown around me

"Oh my goodness gracious! Hannah your alive!"

"Owwww" I moan.

The person pulls away and I realize its Olivia

"Liv? Wh- what happened?"

"There was zombies, and you swerved the car to get away from them, and the car flipped. You got knocked out for a while. I tried staying quiet but the zombies came over. I killed them all so it's fine"

I look past Olivia and see the dead zombies sprawled across the road.

"You killed them all?"' I ask

Olivia nods "yeah, I managed to"

I undo my seat belt and get out of the car stepping away from Olivia

When I get out of the car the first thing I notice is the blood by my door.

"Olivia?" I ask, my voice suddenly filled with worry.

She turns around and faces me

"Yeah? What?"

I motion towards the blood

"What's that?"

She bites her lip

No

No

No no no no no

Did she get bit?

"What happened?!" I frantically ask her

"N-nothing happened don't worry"

I take a step towards her and move her hand out of the way and see it

There's a 3 medium scratch marks from the inside of her elbow to about halfway to her wrist.

"Olivia-" "one got too close and scratched me!" She half yells at me

I take a step backwards

Why didn't I notice her holding her right arm?!

So that's the scream I heard before.

"You shouldn't get infected"

"But what if I do-"

"Stop! You won't, like you said don't worry about it!"

I get back into the car and Olivia gets back into her side.

"It's getting dark" I announce

Olivia nods, staying quiet

"Well, we should sleep so we don't fall asleep driving"

Olivia nods again, still staying quiet before leaning against her seat and turning her back on me and shutting her eyes.

I shake my head a bit then lean backwards into my seat then taking a deep breath, then exhaling hard and shutting my eyes. Then giving in to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OLIVIA POV

I can't sleep.

It's pitch black out and all I can think of is, how many more zombies are lurking near the car.

The scratch on my arm is probably the main reason.

It's not bleeding anymore but there is a lot of dried blood.

I guess that zombie scratched deeper then I thought.

I'm just hoping that Hannah was right

That I won't turn into a zombie.

The last thing I would ever want to happen is to turn into a zombie.

But the scratch on my arm

It's so painful.

It itches and I can almost feel the pulse in my arm. It also stings like hell.

~~~~~~~~~~

HANNAH POV

~~~~~~~~~~

I groan a bit when I wake up in the morning, mainly because the suns shining in the front window.

As soon as I rub my eyes I notice a growl in my stomach.

I turn and reach into the back seat and grab my bag, and opening it to get one of my granola bars.

After I eat it I get a small drink of water then close up my bag

"Your awake"

I jump a bit at Olivia's groggy voice

I have a large yawn then nod "yeah"

I notice a wrapper on her lap so I guess she had something to eat too.

"What now?" I ask.

"Drive?" Olivia suggests

I nod and start the car

"Let's go" I say.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hannah, speed up"

I knit my eyebrows together "why?"

"Zombies"

I look back for a moment and see a large pack of zombies coming quickly behind us.

I guess some travel in packs

I step on the gas pedal

Hard

As we drive down the highway I look in my side mirror and see the zombies coming after us at a jog

Jog?

Jog?!

Jog.

I press on the pedal faster

"Olivia the zombies are like jogging!"

"What the hell?!" She exclaims.

As we keep driving the zombies eventually disappear from our line of sight.

But their still there

And that fucking terrifies me

AUTHOR NOTE!!

I have to say I really liked writing this chapter even though it may be a bit on the short side.

But what do you think will happen next?!

Leave a comment saying what you think!!!
