The Age Of The Apocalypse

Jórgé

I saw a girl running, she seemed fatigued as she fell forward. I ran over to hee and put my hand on her back before lightlt shaking.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked, looking around before seeing one of those child zombies come running. Snarling, growling, and snapping it's teeth.
"Shit!" There was no time to think, so I picked the girl up in an almost bridal position and started running.
"C~.....can't~.......move~....." I heard her struggle to get out. She was limp in my arms, her eyes barely open. I clenched my teeth under the gas mask before turning around and kicking the zombie in the face, hearing it's neck snap. I carefully carried her into a run down apartment building, with smashed windows and only a couple doors.

Maybe my sister wasn't able to be saved, but this girl sure is. I blocked the windows, and blocked the door, before taking off my mask to see if it was okay.

.......I took a deep breath, and I was able to breathe.

I took off hers and took off my backpack before finding my last two water bottles. I put her head in my lap, and slowly gave her small sips of the water as she slowly woke back up.
"Glad to see you're awake." I said. She looked paniced and tried finding her mask by rhe way she was clawing at the floor. "Don't worry it's crisp air here. At least for now." She seemed relieved.
"Who are you?" I heard her ask weakly.
"My name's Jórgé. Do you have any idea what's going on?"
"No. I woke up and this was all happening."
"Damn. Well, what's your name?"
"......Artemis. It's Artemis."
I took a look around and went to the cabinets, opening them to find a bottle of whiskey.
"Lay down. I'll treat your cuts." I say seeing the cuts all over her body. I tore off a piece of my sweatshirt sleeve and poured some of the alcohol on it.
"T-thank you." She stuttered out.
"No problem." I replied and dabbed one of her cuts, seeing her wince in pain. This repeated woth all the other cuts before we layed down in this makeshift shelter, and fell asleep.
