Forever Dead (On Hold)

Chapter Thirty Two

??? P.O.V

Pain, I fucking hate the word. What is its purpose apart from to make us fear it? It is completely useless and if I could do anything to never feel pain again, well apart from dying because then what is the point in fulfilling this task so I can live a life with no pain? I don’t know.

I tried to turn over but I just felt pain, I tried to sit up but once again all I felt was pain. One thing that didn’t hurt was opening my eyes. I was glad I did because it wasn’t what I expected, to be honest I expected it to be white, or black but no I saw grass and trees and the remains of buildings. No way am I dead.

I forgot about the pain for a brief second and tried to stand up but clearly forgetting it is there doesn’t actually stop the pain. I groaned in pain just as I tried to set my position back to the one I was in before, even though I was led on the ground it was considerably more comfortable that sitting.

“Good to see you’re awake” I heard someone call from behind me. It wasn’t even a voice I recognised. I began to panic, where was I? Who was this person, were they hostile. I just had no clue, all that I could do was try to keep my breathing slow, that will probably the best thing to do in this situation.
A strong hand lifted up my back then another helped sit me up and I could see my surroundings a lot better now. I turned my head slowly in hope to catch a glimpse of the person that had saved me. “You’re lucky I found you when I did, what were you trying to do? Kill yourself, turn into one of those creatures?” they called again. By the deepness of their voice I was guessing it was a guy and I was hoping he was as hot as he sounded.

“Burning to death would turn someone, their brain would be burnt in the blaze, especially one that, a person would be too badly burnt to turn anyway the only time I would kill myself is it was actually life or death or I was bitten and I am neither of those” I say quietly, I wasn’t sure if I was to trust this guy yet.

“Then why run into that? It wasn’t as if you didn’t know it was there, you clearly saw it and ran straight into the blazes, what is wrong with you? Are you trying to get yourself killed so you don’t have to live this nightmare?” He raised his voice and it was beginning to scare me, if I do say so. I shook my head as best as possible and that’s when I saw him. His dark, almost black shaggy hair was kept beneath a beanie. He had piercing blue eyes and his skin was pale. By no means was he skinny or even breaking onto the larger side, he had a strong build but he didn’t look very muscular. I was speechless at the sight of him; his clothes were slightly torn but compared to me, as if this never happened to him.

“I would do anything but kill myself in these circumstances; I am not one to go by self-harming or suicide. IT is a ridiculous idea” I pushed up from the ground, sitting on the floor whilst trying to prove my point wasn’t working well for me. I pushed harder from the floor and luckily I made it to my feet. “I was sacrificing myself to save my friends, I knew that there was a possibility that I would die but it was better than watching all of them die because I could do nothing to save them. I ran into the fire with a load of zombies on my trail, all wanting to attack me and my friends. The fire killed them but it didn’t kill me, my friends probably think I’m dead and I have no idea what my family are thinking, they might not even be alive anymore or they are completely oblivious to the whole idea that I may or may not even be alive” I yelled, I made sure that I wasn’t being too loud because another zombie attack and I will go insane.

“You sacrificed yourself so that what, five people lived?” I nodded slowly, looking down at the floor once I had stopped my head. “That is something, you really care for these people, and they were lucky to be your friends” I smiled weakly but he never saw it since my gaze was directed down at the floor. “So where were you guys headed?” I shrugged, I wasn’t actually too sure that my plan would work.

“Wherever we can to get away from this freak show” I joked, looking up again to see his confused expression. “Where were you going, and may I ask where everyone else is, it is unusual to see someone alone, well according to all the zombie stories and games I have seen” I said quietly, biting down lightly on my bottom lip.

“They left straight after I found you. They kept say that you were in there your old group thought you were bit, I disagreed with them, getting answers before I start to accuse people works best. We began to fight, it at first was verbal then it got physical, my best friend tried to reason with me but I said no, I wasn’t leaving you to die out here all on your own, it just isn’t fair” my smile widened, that was really nice of him but his friends were kind of right but I would be on his side all the way.

“Thanks” I said weakly then I began to chuckle. “I am so lost, I probably won’t ever find my friends at this rate” He chuckled lightly as well, but it was more nervously than mine, was this guy afraid of me or something. “So just asking is this goodbye or are you going to join me…” I didn’t know this guy’s name, not a good start.

“Ed, and it will probably be safer if we travel together, so what’s your name, I’ve gotta know if I’m going to accompany you on this journey to wherever you are going” he said, pulling a fake posh voice making me giggle at his idiotic act.

“Kathryn, but you can call me Kat”

Author's Note:

Yes she isn't dead anymore, what would a book be without the main character? Sorry this chapter sucks but I didn't really know how to lay this chapter out so :) hope you liked it.
