West
I climb up the hill. It was stupid to come alone without a gun. I slip and fall on my kneepads. I heave myself up. I keep climbing. I feel a hand grab my shoulder. I elbow it in the face, hard.
I hear it scream. I turn. It was Aaron. He clenches his nose and tears stream down his face. I see crimson liquid spill from his nose.
"Oh, god! I'm sorry Aaron!" I run over to him and remove his hand from his nose. I think I broke it. He moans in pain and jerks his hand around his nose again. He tilts his head back to try to stop the bleeding. "Don't! The blood will go in your throught and you'll throw up!" I make him tilt his head forward. I brush his hair back gently. "Why did you follow me?"
"To comfort you. Somethings up with you.. Is it about Ian?" He asks. I nod. "Well what ever you do, you have to fight and get through it!" He clenches my shoulders. I hug him. He strokes his fingers through my hair. I tell him details while this happens.
"Before he got shot and infected, he told me as he died, that he made a syrum that would stop the zombie invasion. He told me the recipe and gave me the form. Then I ran back.." I say slowly.
"Where is the form?" He asks pulling back slowly. I hand him the sheet from my pocket. He skims it and says, "We need a needle."
"I think Ian has one in his-" I start but Hunter approaches us, panting.
"I think -Gasp- You guys should come with me." We follow him to Ian's lab. He shows us everything, then the syrum. "That will stop the infection. We should live here now. It is more protective."
I nod. I look at Aaron. He nods too. We stay there. "We need someone to take the injection. Whatever they touch will be better." I raise my hand. "Then when I give you another injection, it will make it stop." I give him my arm. "I actually need your neck.." I remain silent and lower my arm. I gulp hard and reveal my neck. He takes the needle and injects me with it. Aaron watches disapprovingly. As the needle enters my neck, a sharp pain spreads across my neck. I let out a soft cry.
I take a deep breath. I start to walk out and he Hunter stops me. "Test it." I touch his cheek and the dirt on his face dissapears slowly.
"It works" I smile. I walk out. They follow. I touch a zombie attacking me and it becomes Ian. I gasp and touch his face. "Ian."
He gets off me. "The serum.. It works." I nod.

ActionI wrote this story when I was in elementary school. I won't be taking it down because it took me a lot of time and effort to write and it was the beginning of making long stories for me. It is *heavily* inspired by Maximum Ride by James Patterson.
