Bitten (book one)

12 (last chapter special)

Week later.

It's been a week since we buried Gabe and his sister.

We're currently looking around for supply's for surviving. We decided it was time to leave.

You may be wondering, why leave after only a week? Well, we wanna start moving every week or two so zombies don't get the idea where here.

If we move around, they won't be able to find us. 

Back to the present.

Currently I was packing my bag for moving. "Are you ok?" Alex asked. I looked at him, and he pointed to my hands. I was shaking.

I let out a sigh. "Just.... worried. I mean, you don't know Emit like I do. He's the reason I was kicked out of our group, and away from my best friend." He looks at me wide eyed before nodding. "Do you think he will do anything...? Alex asks. I feel myself go tense for a moment, but easily play it off. "I hope not. But there's thing thing about him that scares me. I don't know if the fact that he's so protective of Air or the fact that he's so defensive, but somethings just... off about him. And I intend to find out what's wrong."

An hour later and were to the parking lot of the mall. "So.... We need to high jack a car, is that right?" Jayson asks. Over the time of the Apocalypse, his shyness had faded. "Yup." Emit says, popping the p. He walks over to a car and uses his elbow to smash the window on the drivers side of the car. A loud blaring blaring noise follows. A curse slips through my lips as a few (what the group is calling them) Zeds start limping towards us. Emit slowly backs up towards the rest of us as the number of Zeds come in to view.

"There's hundreds!" Screams Erin as the horde hobbles towards us. Hundreds from all directions surround us. Moans fill our senses along with the smell or death and rottenness. "Emit, so fucking idiot! Could you not have fucking checked for a cars with the door open and keys in the car!" I hollered. Before he could reply, Alex came out with a good idea. "How bout instead of arguing, we run the hell away and kill some Zeds?" He brings up his pistol and shoots, killing one Zed and knocking down the one behind it. Gun shots ring out as we all start shooting, but there's just to many, and soon were running into mall with Zeds hot on our tail.

"We need to split up! All go with Erin and Alex and Jayson can go together!" He yells over our foot steps and moans. He grabs Erin's hand and takes off running to the left while Jayson and Alex take a quick cut to the right. Leaving me heading straight. And it turns out Zeds love going straight. A stair case looms in front of me, and I run up it taking two stairs at a time. I silently curse out Emit for putting me alone, but at the same time praised him. It just means I don't need to worry about a mother living person slowing me down.

Finally getting to the top, I look down at the Zeds. "When the hell did you learn to climb stairs!" I shriek as the catch up to me. My gun goes off and Zeds start tumbling, but it's not enough and soon I'm running again.

I hear shots ring out from across the mall, the others obviously fighting off there own zeds. As I turn a sharp corner, I run into a zed,crashing head first. I let out a groan as my head bangs of the ground, my gun just barley staying in my hands as the zombie falls on top of me.

I grab hold of its shoulders, trying to push it off. It's hands grip the sides of my head, and j let out a scream as it rips my ear off. I watch in horror as it eats my bloody ear, blood and flecks of skin falling on my face. I mange to turn my gun to the side enough to shoot the thing in the head. It falls in a life less heap on top of me, and I shove it off. As I look to the left, I notice the hoard of zombies heading strait towards me.

I jump up and run as fast as I can, making sure to be more carful. My foot hits a dead zombies head, causing me to tumble to the ground. I scramble to get up, letting out another scream as a hand grabs my ankle, a hungry growl escaping the lips of the hands owner.

Before it can bite me, I shove the gun in its direction and pull the trigger, but nothing happens. I kick my leg as hard as I can, shoving the rotting corps away from me. I try my gun again, but I quickly realize it's empty. I throw it at the zombies head, looking around for anything i can use as a weapon. I notice a broom, it's handle broken in half. I bend down and grab it quickly, shoving it into the zombies head.

Another approaching zombie gets the same treatment, it falling to the floor with a wicking plop. I gasp as I look around me, noticing iv been circled by a group of zombies.  I bend down, trying to get into my boot to see if I have a knife. As I feel the hilt of one, I rip it out of my boot, hissing when I feel it cut my ankle harshly. I immediately forget about the pain as I zombie lunges at me.

I stab the knife into its eye socket, putting my foot on its shoulder as I rip the weapon out. I circle around, jabbing the knife at the nearest zed. The knife comes in contact with skin, be-heading a zed. I kick at a zombie a bit to close as I stab it, going for the next one right after. But more zombies keep coming. A gun shot rings through the air, and the zombie I front of me falls. I look around, grinning madly when I see Alex shooting at more zombies.

Soon, the once large about of zombies surrounding me are all dead (again) and I look at Alex. The grin is wiped of my face as I realize he's alone. "Where's Jay." I growl. He shakes his head, saying,"he's with the other two. Now come on. We need to hurry." He grabs my hand, taking off in a certain direction. When we reach the rest of the group, I let out a gasp.
 
Erin is backed in a corner, yelling at Emit. Jayson is standing wide eyed in front of Emit. And Emits holding a gun and Jaysons temple. " Ah, looks like everyone could make it. How wonderful . Now I get to kill all of you!" He laughs crazily, and as he does, I notice a bite mark on his shoulder.

Jaysons hands were in the air, fear on his face. "Emit, y-your not yourself. You've been b-bitten." He says. "You think I don't know I'm bitten!?" He cackles. "I let that rotting thing bite me!" He screams. "We're all gonna die anyway! Why not go out killing others!"

"Your insane! I should've realized it when you kicked me away from my friends, you bastard!" I yell. He swings his gun towards me, grinning. "I shoulda killed you that day, bitch!" Alex steps in front of me, but steps away when Emit sends a threading glare at him.

"I can't believe you, you-you sicko!" Erin bellows. Emit just grins, his eyes locked with mine. "I'm not the sicko. She is. She's infected, she can turn when ever! And you trust her? How can you be so stupid!" He smiles, knowing he spoke truth. But then I realize something. Something I should of realized a while ago.

"Yeah, I'm infected." I start, everyone's eyes snapping away from Emit to me. "In the beginning I though I was lucky. I may be infected, but I'm most likely immune. But now I realize how un lucky I actually I am. I have to see everyone I know and love die if infection. I have to kill things that were once alive. Iv had to shoot a kid for Christ's sake. I'd be happy dead."

Everyone stared at me wide eyed. I was suddenly calm, knowing that if I did die, I'd be able to see those I love again.

I did not scream when the gun went off, or when heard everyone else scream. I did not scream when the bullet flew through my skin, or when i hit my head off the floor. I did not scream as I watched with, my eyes fluttering closed, Alex tackle Emit and shoot him in the head.

And I did not scream when my eyes closed shut, and I felt my body shut down on its self.

I hope you guys liked the last chapter!

Currently, I'm working on a book on my other account, OkamiLoup but once I'm done with it, I will start the next book, Surviving. I will post the prologue on this account, either to night or tomorrow, just to be mean to this who want to read the next book. I will be done with my current book in about half a year, hopefully a little less then that, but when I'm done, I will immediately start on the second book of this series. Though it may be hard if I make a second book to the one on the other account. Anyway, I hope you liked this book! I will edit the entire thing soon, so just sit back and wait.

That is if a zombie doesn't get you first~
