Chapter Nine

"RUN!" Kyle grabbed Bry's arm and parkored up the steep crater of the mine. The zombie, oh so powerless, was huge and running up the hill in a snap. 

"GO FASTER!" Bry chanted. 

"I'm going as fast as I can!" His foot got stuck in a tangle of rocks. "Uh oh. Bry! Go! I'll slay this beast with my diamond sword!" 

"NO! I won't let you do this!" Bry had tears forming in both eyes. 

"I thought you hated me." Kyle's blue-green eyes stared into hers. "I thought you hated me," Kyle repeated and got her to the next block up. "Go."

"No." Bry took his hand and pulled him out.

Bry and Kyle were patching up the hole with the bucketloads of dirt they had. "That was... Intense," Bry said and blushed.

Kyle laughed. "Yeah. That thing was as big as our house!"

"I suppose I don't 'hate' you. You're just not my favorite," she giggled.

"Well, we ought to get back to base and get some rest."

They were walking off into the distance, to their home they shared with Cat, Warrior, and Raptor. But what they didn't know was that the zombie was on their tracks.

----------

Cat looked out the window to find Kyle and Bry holding hands and laughing. "Oh, great." She swung open the door and said, "Where were you two?! I was looking for you all afternoon!"

"We were stuck by a huge zombie," Kyle admitted. "She saved my life." His eyes glittered at Bry.

Cat rolled her eyes and let them in. "Dinner is going to be served in a few minutes." Cat sat down in the magnificent diamond chair labeled "CATWOLFY".

Raptor and Warrior were walking down the stairs, ready to eat, when a huge crash opened the door.
