The girl examined the roof and saw an opened door that led to inside of the hospital. She reloaded her gun and tightened her hood. "Lets go down there and clear at least two hallways." She said grabbing a flashlight and taping it to her gun. I wonder what else is in that bag she always carries around? I walked to the door,where she was. She turned to me and gabbed the collar of my shirt. I thought she was gonna kiss me but instead she backhanded me. I have never been backhanded by a girl I had saved, so I was a little surprised. Man, can that girl hit.

''If you ever do that again,i'll kill you." She whispered in my ear. I almost saw her face but then she pushed me away.She headed down the satirs and I stood there for a moment rubbing the side of my face that she had backhanded. "Your welcome." I mumbled then walked down the stairs. It was probably around fifteen flights of stairs, so I tried to make the time go by faster by talking. "So...What is your name?"

She started walking a little slower,"I think we would both be better off if you didnt know my name." She answered firmly. What? I thought. "Why would that be?'' I asked, walking next to her. She tightened her hood and shrugged. We were getting close to the bottom of the staircase. "Whats with the hood?" I asked,curious to know what she looks like."Just do me a favor and shut up." She said. "Fine." I shrugged my shoulders.

We were finally at the bottom of the stairs and everything was dark. The hallway filled with a red light,that the emergency exit sign was making. The walls were bloodstained with handprints. I got goosebumps running up and down my body,and,by the looks of it,the girl wasnt having a good time either. She walked slowly down the hallway, examing every turn and every room. I went solo and turned to a different hallway,I didnt think she noticed. I turned into a room that had a blinking light flashing inside of the room.

The room had a hospital bed tipped over to its side right in front of the window. The window,like everyorther window ive seen so far in this zombie town, was covered in bloody handprints and cracks. The room wasnt as big but it had a bathroom. I walked into the bathroom and saw a body lying in front of the sink. I got closer to the body,trying to see if he was alive or not. I poked the body and it started groaning. I turned the body over and...well lets just say it wasnt a pretty sight. 

The body started moving and I stepped back."Oh, please dont be a zombie, please dont be a zombie!" I thought. I walked back into a wheelchair and it startled me, I gave a small scream, the body looked up at me,or should I say the zombie. The zombie got up so quickly I didnt have time to think. My first instinct was to run. I ran down the halls my sneakers rubbing against the hard floor every step of the way. The sound of my sneakers bounced off the hospital walls. The next thing I hear are gunshots and the girl cursing. 

I turn around and see about twenty dark figures closing in on me. Their eyes glowed in the darkness and all I could see was them getting closer and closer. I trip over my own foot and fall to the ground,scraping my arm. I try to get up but I twisted my ankle. Where is that girl when you need her!? I thought watching the walkers get closer. Then I hear gunshots getting closer and hear zombies screaming. The noise filled the hospital and awoke every undead thing in the place. She ran up to me. "I cant get up! My ankle!" I yelled over the gunshots. She looked down at my ankle and pulled me up,"Then hop!" She yelled putting my arm over her. 

We got to the staircase and she was about to push me up when she got jerked down by her hood. I couldnt trun around,not without falling. I heard multiple gunshots behind me and what sounded like bodies hitting the floor. I got up to the first platform and looked behind me. I saw the girl,no longer with her hood, walking backwards up the stairs blasting the heads off of the walkers. As more fell to the ground the less bullets she had. She ran forward and grabbed me. I only caught a glimpse of her face.

We both ran as fast as we could up the stairs and the zombies were right behind. When we made it up to the door of the roof she threw me out first and tried to slammed the door behind her but the zombies pushed back. She tightened her hood over her face and grabbed her bag. She pulled out a pipe and slammed it against the door's handle and the cement. I stared at her pushing the pole into place. I couldnt get up and help. The sound of the zombies fell into silence.

She sat down in front of the door. I hopped over  to her and sat down next to her. "Thank you..." I said, awkwardly. "For what?" She asked. I never thought I'd be saying this..."For saving me." I smiled. She sighed,"Sonic?". "Yeah?'' I stared at her, her dark eyes lit up behind the hood. "I missed you." She said softly. "What?" I asked,more confused than ever. Who is this girl?

 She slowly lifted her hood. I almost jumped back, the girl...from my dream?! "Mickinzee...''
