OUT OF PLACE :Teenage Magician in a Zombie apocalypse

Chapter 9: Betrayal

I woke up and realised that Kiba was missing. I looked outside through the window and saw him lying in front of the door.

I ran down the stairs and to the door. Opening it, he came in and went to his food bowl. Ignoring me, (Maybe he is mad at me?)

"Brandon! Are you awake? Brandon!" I heard Caitlyn's voice. It was coming closer from behind my closed door.

"Yes, whats wrong?" I ran to my door, and swinged it open.

"I just got a message from my little brother. Kaydin. We must pick him up..." she trailed off and looked at me with pleading eyes,"But only the two of us,please?" She pleaded.

"Uhm..." I frowned,"Sure, why not?"I agreed, shrugging.

We got into the Jeep and I started the engine.

"Where we headin'?" I asked turning to look at her. I never realised how beautiful she really is. Her soft curls falling over her shoulders....
I mentally shook my head.

"North. He told me he is at my grandma's...I can't believe he is still alive," her eyes shined with tears.

I knew she was happy. Her cheeks was a warm red colour and her precious lips graced a charming smile.

It was night by the time we went through the tunnel. Caitlynn had fallen asleep. I took a quick glance at her.

She was pretty asleep. How had I never noticed this? Her face was at peace and her mouth slightly open. Her eyelashes brushed her cheekbones and her hair slightly fell in her face.

I looked in front of me again. Why am I thinking this?! Kyla is my girlfriend! My one and only!

I stopped at an one-stop along the road. Stepping out the car, I felt the wind whipping through my hair.
I think we need some "snacks" for the road trip.

Pulling my hood on, I stepped into the shop. Walking towards the shelves I took a glance at the cookies.

A sound came from the corner of the shop and I turned.

A zombie was staring at me with it's head cocked to the side. I shivered.

I lifted my arm. Feeling the energy running through my veins, feeling the electrical forse growing in my hand.
Then I shoved my hand towards the zombie and he blasted away.

I felt dizzy for a moment and used a shelf to keep me from falling over.

After I recovered I quickly collected the snacks and grabed a sixpack beer.

I climbed into the jeep and placed the plastic bag full of goods at the backseat. Driving to a safe place, I opened a beer can and took a swig.

I took a bite of my sandwich then heard Cait's sleepy voice, "I hope there's one for me too, cause I'm starving." I smiled and took one from the bag.

"Yeah sure here you go." I handed her the sandwich. She took a bite and stroked her messy strands of hair out of her face.

It was already 4 pm and we were still driving. It was getting late and I was bored so I turned the radio on.

We spended 2 hours drinking and eating snacks and listening to music while talking. It was quite enjoyable. Unlike Kyla,  Caitlynn had humour. She made funny jokes and may I had, dirty.

It was getting dark so I parked the jeep on the side of the road, behind a rather large bush, where nothing can see us. I felt relieved that I could rest for a while.

"J-P, can you come lay next to me, please?" I heard Caitlyn's voice from the back. She said it so softly. She sounded scared.

"Uhm.....why?" Stupid! She's obviously scared! Why else? I mentally slapped myself and turned around in my seat to face her.

"I'm cold."

Lie. There's a lot of blankets. Maybe she can't see them? I thought for a moment, then shrugged. I climbed to the back.

"Sure." I answered and made the two back seats into a bed. Pulling some blankets over us.

"J-P, I am scared. It's taking too long to get to him. What if they got him?" I felt her grip thighten on my hand, that I just realised she was holding.

"No, he is in a perfect hiding spot. They won't." I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and felt her tense body relax next to mine.

I turned to look at her when she suddenly kissed me. My eyes widened.

I didn't know what to do. What about Kyla? I felt my eyes flutter shut and relax into her soft lips.

Ignoring the little voice screaming in my head, I kissed her back.

The night was long but amazing.
I think it went further than kissing but i can't remember.
