As the sun fell, everyone started getting a bit anxious and restless. When the light dimmed enough to where no one could see the persons face in front of them, I told Jennifer and Jack to stand guard. I layed my head down on the hard ground. I soon fell asleep but I was dreaming. As I was dreaming I saw my hands and very muscular arms with red skin. I again felt the need to kill everything. I saw myself run into house after house killing people and any animal I found there. I even killed infected if they were all that was in the houses or buildings. I saw my mom and I killed her. I saw myself kill Alexa and her mom. Then I saw me kill Alexa again. Then again and again and again. Then I heard someone scream, "NO!". I awoke to find out it was me screaming. I stopped screaming and heard Jennifer whispering in my ear.
"Shhhhhh. Its okay! Its okay. You just had a nightmare. Nothings wrong its just your turn to stand guard. Jack is getting Kristian."
" Okay." , I was sweating and was shaking all over. Everybody could probally see me in the dark because I was so pale.
I got up and walked over to the barricade. I sat down by Kristian. We could see each other by the moonlight from the skylight above.
"You okay? You woke up everyone with your screaming." , she asked me looking worried. Kristian had Burnett hair and blonde bangs, she had blue eyes and freekles on her face. She look very pretty in the moonlight.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just a... nightmare." , I awnsered picturing Alexa's liveless eyes again, " You might want to be ready though. I bet infected heard that scream."
"Okay."
We sat down for a while listening to the sounds of screams and gunshots in the distance. There must be other suvivors out there. The we heard a noise about ten yards away. Kristian jumped up and shined the light over where it came from will I pointed the gun at the spot. It was just a couple rats scavanging for food. We sat down as Kristian turned off the light.
" So..." , she said, "what happened to your parents?"
" I'd rather not talk about it." , I awnsered feeling I probally should not tell her I was a demon and killed my mom.
"I'll tell you if you tell me."
I sighed, " Okay."
" Well, I came home after running out of the mall and almost tripped over someone laying on the ground. I run out because the infected were taking over the mall. I ran home to find my father infected and eating my mother. Not the prettiest sight to tell you the truth. I ran out of the house again looked behind me and my dad was chasing me. I ran around a corner and hid in some bushes. Then as soon as my dad came around the corner he was shot by Henry over there. I came out of the bushes and he took me back to the storm shealter. Now you go."
"Well, that person you almost tripped over was probally me because I was in the mall and spranged my ankle trying to get out."
"No way! That's so weird. Sorry for kicking you it was an accident."
" Its alright. Anyway I limped into that sports store and picked up a bat and me and the clirk fought are way to the fire exit we came in through and a zombie got him. He turned into one and I killed him. He was still over there too. Then I ran home to find my mom dead on the ground."
" Well thats not as bad as seeing your dad eating her."
" Yeah. Yeah its not." , I faked agreed remembering me killing her.
" Well it's kind of weird that..." , she didn't get to finish because we heard another noise. This one louder than before. Kristian shined the light on where it came from as I aimed.
There was a zombie standing five feet from our faces and I blew the top of his head of with my .22. We looked around and there where three, no seven more zombies. I killed two of them and two more replaced those. I yelled, "Everyone up! We have infected! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
Everyone got up and found there guns and ran over to the barricade. They all started firing exept for Caleb and Chris becuase they only had bats. We must have killed at least 37 infected but more just kept coming. I remembered that the way to the roof was in the backroom of the store. There was a ladder going up.
" Everyone to the backroom! There is a ladder there to get to the roof! Let's go!" , I yelled having an idea. I grabed the backpack full of food on my way to the backrooms door. I told Jack to go up the ladder and open the latch on the roofdoor there and tell us when its opened. Henry was still shooting into the darkness covering us. Once Jack yelled back down I told Caleb to go up first. Then Chris, Kristian, Jennifer, then Henry.
" No! I'm going up last. You go now!" , he yelled at me. I obayed and went up and got to the top. I threw the pack of food to the roof and yelled at Henry to climb up. I couldn't see him cuase it was to dark. I heard him climbing up but then he yelled.
" Ahhhhhhhh! They bit my ankle!" , I heard him yell up to us. As soon as he finished that sentance I heard the choking sound and him puking. So I aimed my Glock 17 into the dark, square hole and fired an entire clip. I could see a great amount of infected in that little room from the light of the bursts from the gun.
" What the hell are you doing? Henry is still down there!" , Jack yelled at me. I closed the roofdoor and and latched it. The stupid infected don't know how to unlatch the door. I reloaded the gun and looked into Jack's face. I could see his face well in the cloudless night with a moon out.
" Did you hear him. He was biten. If your biten or get blood in your system you get infected with the Devils Virus."
"The what?"
"The Devil created a virus and gave it to one of his followers or as we call them satanists. Then that person ran around spread it to another person then that person spread it to another person and so on and so forth."
" And you know this how?"
" I really don't know." , I awnsered him trying to remeber how I knew this but couldn't.
" Mabye God meant for us to live and he's punishing us at the same time." , Jennifer said.
" Yeah, right. Cause God would let this happen!" , I said getting a little annoyed.
" What? You don't beleive in God but you beleive in Satan?" , asked Jack looking a little angry.
" I try not to beleive in Satan but what I've been through it's kind of hard not too! I highly doubt the virus was made by the Devil himself!" , I yelled growing impatiant.
" You just said..." , Jennifer started to say but I cut her off.
" What I said was a myth! A way to explain something without explaination!"
" I think God would like me to punish you for believing in Satan and not him!" , Jack yelled and pointed his rifle at my head and at the same time I brought up my Glock 17. We stood pointing the guns at each other.
" God damn you! God damn you to hell!" , Jack yelled and shot the gun. I ducked and it was like in slow motion as I watched the bullet fly over my head. I aimed my gun back at Jack and shot him in the cheast. He fell to the ground and didn't eve make a sound or gasp or anything. He just dropped. I went over to see where I shot him and I must of hit him in the heart killing him instantly.
"Why'd you kill him?" , yelled Jennifer.
" He tried to kill me!" , I yelled at her angriely, "It was self-defense! If he was dumb enough to kill me over two things that don't exist then he diserved to die!"
" God is real and the Lord will save us from this place!" , she screamed will tears started to flow out her eyes.
" Well you can keep believing in that and in him but just don't kill me because I don't think so!" , I screamed at her. I turned away and walked to the roofdoor and layed down on top of it. I layed there because that way I could feel it if the infected tried to break through. I closed my eyes to sleep and started to dream. I saw a red glow. I know what your thinking. Not Again!
