Bitten (book one)

10

The boy looks at me wide eyed, confusion obvious in everyone's eyes. "What are you talking about?" He asks quietly. "I-in the toy shop. You look a like." I whisper. My sobs had died down to silent tears, but I barely noticed.

"You saw her? Why are you crying so much if you don't know us though?" He asks, a few tears of his own falling down his face. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and stood up. Wiping my eyes with my sleeve, I ignored his question, looking up at my friends.

"What happened?" I asked them. Emit seemed to snap back to reality as he glared at me. "How are you alive?" He asks quietly though angrily. "Do you have the cure or somethin'" I shook my head. "I just- I- I'm not alive. Or dead." I murmur. "Wha?" Jayson asks."

I sigh. "I have the heighten senses, strength, and speed of a zombie. I'm, uh, both I guess. Hybrid would be a good word a guess." I shake my head. "It's really all confusing. But I also discovered that at the in between houses we where wrong. The stuff we made. It was a virus that does kill people, but the die as soon as they get the virus and don't come back"

Then I turn to the boy. "Now to answer your question. My sister died the first day. I-I watched it happen. It reminded me of it, that's all." I say, trying my best to smile but failing. The boy nods, and I ask. "What's your name?" "Gabe." "Well Gabe, it's nice to meet you. Seriously. I have not seen any friendly people since this as-um idiot kicked me out a month ago." I say loud enough that the three idiots can hear me.

"Wait," Emit starts." You said 'I have not seen any nice people.' Does that mean you came across someone else?" I nod stiffly, remembering the event. And the fact I had my first zombie kill there. I sigh, and start telling them what happened.

"About a week after I left, I was living in a old home, stealing food from other houses. One of them turned out to be home of three men that where around 28. They drugged me and kidnapped me, before locking my to a chair with wire and rope in there basement. I woke up up and one of the men where down there, and he said how with the virus spreading, were going to need to repopulate. It was discussing. When the other two men came down stairs, the walked over to me with a knife and put it against my throat, saying if I resisted they would not hesitate to kill me.

"One of the men straddled me causing my to thrash around wail he tried to kiss me. Ended up nicking my neck from the knife, but the holder was so surprised by my sudden outburst he accidentally cut the other guys throat. The other man pulled out a gun and shot the man with the knife, but the shot was low enough to cut enough rope and wire to help me get out. I grabbed the mans knife and cut the gun-mans neck before taking off."

"So you were almost raped." Erin spits out. I nod, taking in the fact there's a maybe nine year old in the room with us.

"FUCKING RETARDS! ITS TO EARLY TO DO THAT, AND EVEN SO, YOU DONT MOTHER FUCKING RAPE SOMEONE! GAH, I NEED TO GO BREAK SOMETHING NOW!" Erin hells before grabbing a perfume bottle and throwing it to the ground. Unfortunately, it had glitter in it. So when it smashed on the ground. Some glitter came flying in our faces. Air glared at the broken bottle before, and with not even looking, smashing a purple perfume to the ground. Meanwhile, me and the other four just watch, letting her have her break down the way she does.

Sorry it's short, I just wanted to get this out there quickly. I won't be posting for a while dew to school and studying and homework and all that shit, so here.
