Me Vs Zombies [Book 1 & 2]

Chapter 26

[Charlottes POV]

'Any luck?’ I groaned as the door opened and Scott walked in, his knife soaked in blood.

‘No.’ He whispered. ‘But I ran into a nice deer, for the first time in my life, it was already wounded but I checked it, it wasn’t a walker doing so it will be safe to eat tonight.’

I nodded. ‘Ok, I’ll start cutting that up in a minute and get it cooking.’

‘I can do it!’ Scott gawped.

‘I know I just want to get my mind of what’s happening. I’m just so worried about everyone, I hate it when I don’t know if someone’s alive or dead, I find it worse than knowing that someone is actually dead.’ I whimpered.

'Its strange, not knowing whether you should mourn or have hope.' He sighed back and quickly walked over, hugging me tighter. 'This is the stage where you hope that shes fine and will be home alive and well.'

'But I have no hope, she doesn't have her weopen.' I whimpered.

'Look... Charlotte, go have a hot shower then a nice nap. When you wake up it'll all be ok.' Scott sighed. 'We'll find her today, I have no doubt in that.'

I nodded and reluctantly agreed. 'Goodnight.'

I went upstairs and jumped into the shower in seconds, the cold water spashing against my skin making me feel slightly worse.

Then when I was done and jumped into my warm bed.

Thats a little better.

Within seconds I was sleeping, snoring loudly.

[Paytons POV]

Lunchtime rolled around and I was pulled into doing the cooking with Demi, she repeatidly jabbed me with her elbow when I was doing something wrong.

Which seemed to be every 5 damn seconds!

'Do you do this everyday?' I growled as I was passed yet another block of cheese to cut up for the sandwiches, I hate cutting it because it has to be really thin, and I don't do really thin.

Not in anything.

'Three times a day.' Demi groaned. 'Once at 5am, one now and one at 5pm.'

I growled angrilly. 'Sounds crap.'

'It has to be done, theres so many of us, so many mouths, we do what needs to be done.' Demi sighed.

'The boss... Hes... Umm...'

'Physco?' She whispered.

I shrugged but inside I was thinking ''State the obvious.''

'There's rumour from one of the leaders, cause there's a leader of each floor of the house, anyway, there's a rumour that the leader of the... 2nd floor rejected the Bosses new plan. He said it was inhuman and was about to walk out when the boss threatened his family.'

'What?' I gawped.

Demi nodded. 'I know. But then again... Its only rumour.'

'Demi...' I gulped. 'I'm going to ask the boss tonight if when I go to search for my brother to bring you with me... If you don't mind...'

'I would love to... but... He won't let me go.'

I growled. 'Why not?!'

'Because I'm his niece.'

[Charlottes POV]

I woke up screaming, I had a nightmare.

I dreamt that I was all alone, no one here with me, then the walkers came, in thousands and I was devoured in seconds.
