Survival: a Girl's Best Friend

Chapter 11

The giant blood stained glass doors made me feel a little uneasy, I wasn't use to going into a giant buildings. My parents always went into small stores because they knew that they would have more supplies inside because people wouldn't see them as any help. That is how I have most of my stuff is small buildings. I had my machete in my hand and gripped it tighter and tighter, I didn't know why I was so nervous of this place. Sabrina has been here before and she said it had great supplies inside. I lightly pushed the glass doors away from me, the doors squeaked as they grinded against the brown tile floor. A bloody arm slid across my legs and made me jump. There was a large torso in the path of the door, I pushed and pushed but the door wouldn't budge. The door was slightly open enough for me to slip through. I got half way through the door when something grabbed my leg, I screamed without knowing it and looked down. There was a zombie that was cut in half from the waist down grabbing my leg. I began shaking my legs vigorously but the zombie's hand wouldn't let go. I tried to slide my way through back to the others but the zombie was keeping me in place and I couldn't fit the rest of my body to go fully through the door. Suddenly there was a loud crash and I felt glass go into my legs and I quickly turned my head the opposite direction where the broken glass was coming from. I heard a loud squishing loud and I felt the zombie's hand go limb. I quickly shock it off my ankle and a shiver went through my spine. I quickly went back trough the door into the open, I didn't notice but I was breathing rapidly and I felt my heart beat in my chest. I almost got bitten, I felt so venerable that it scared me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned my head to see who it was. Sabrina's eyes met mine, her eyes filled with sympathy. I couldn't control my body and I began to cry into her shoulder. I had no idea why I was crying, I have been by myself for about 3 years now and I have had many life to death moments, but this one felt different, like I really was going to die. I haven't felt like this since my parents died. I finally pulled myself together and whipped my cheeks with the back of my hand. Danny was standing there with my metal baseball bat with dark red blood dripping off of it and glass shards on his shirt. As much as I really wanted to punch him in the throat for making a bunch of noise, he did save my life, again.

"Thanks Danny," was all that came out of my mouth as I walked right passed him without looking at him. I didn't want to feel so venerable again in my life, I really needed to get my ass into action.  I walked up to the shattered door and was the zombie that attacked me, the smell was so strong I had to cover my nose. The zombie's head was caved into its skull and was covered in dark red with little bits of brain hanging out. I really wanted to vomit but I had to stay strong.  Stepped over its limp body and walked inside. There were bloody foot prints that led all over the place, I stepped aside so that Sabrina could come in front and lead the way.

"If I remember correctly it should be this way." Sabrina said as she pointed to the right. Sabrina seemed to be happy to be back, while I was terrified. I didn't really trust the blood on the floor as I did the walls. There was too much blood actually and it made me feel uneasy. I looked down at the brown tile and I saw Sabrina's bloody footprints following her. I clutched my machete tighter, something isn't right here. I kept feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and I looked past my shoulder, but only found Danny walking with the baseball bat resting on his shoulder.

"Ah, here it is!" I heard in front of me and I turned my head back and saw Sabrina in front of a large freezer. The freezer was large enough to fit 5 people inside and its class door was practically ice itself. inside I could barley see large cubes of ice stacked on top of one another.  "It doesn't make sense, how is this ice still here I mean shouldn't it be all melted by now?" Asked Danny, he was right that ice has been in there for about 20 years now, it should be melted. "I don't know the answer to that but its here and that's all that matters." Said Sabrina with a smile. " But first we need to find a cooler so that we can have the ice longer then just keeping it out." I have only seen a cooler only twice and that was when my parents were alive, I never really cared for a cooler since. Sabrina began to walk away from the cooler and she lead us to big metal stairs. "I think the coolers are up here and-" Sabrina's words cut off from something falling right in front of her. She stopped mid-step and nearly fell backwards and screamed. Whatever fell in front of Sabrina began to stand up, taller then her, and it let out a groan.
