10k's girl ➳ Z-Nation

Chapter Four: Shot

Your Pov

It's been a couple months with the group. I walked into the town. Evan left me to be with Warren so I was partnered up with "10k". I twirled my knife in my hand, looking around with a careful eye. I glanced over at 10k, who was staring at every window intently, his sniper had a supresser on it thanks to mine and Evan's stash.

I walked over to a pharmacy, the doors and windows poorly boarded up. 10k turned his safety off as I opened the door. I heard a groan from inside and I nodded at 10k. Using the back of my blade, I stepped inside the store and banged on the closest metal shelf.

The groaning stopped and I took a few more quiet steps into the store. After passing by two severly looted aisles, my foot landed on broken glass. I looked down at the pink shattered mirror and a Z came out at a fast pace, shoving me into one of the shelves, causing me to lose my grip on my knife and drop it.

I held it off by its shoulders but my eyes narrowed slightly, seeing another Z standing up to my left.  I looked down at my foot, seeing my knife.  The Z I was holding dropped dead and I grabbed my knife, stabbing the one on my left.

I looked over at 10k, who had his slingshot drawn. I sighed in relief. He looked around for more Z's and then came back up to me, nodding. I nodded back and turned to look for anything.

I went to the women's essentials and grabbed a few ' things'. My eyes trailed down to see a box of magnums and I held back a laugh. A presence behind me, caused me to turn, knife drawn.

10k rose his hands in surrender, but he looked at the box  that was at my foot and tilted his head slightly. My eyes were set on him. I then looked back at the box, seeing they were large.

My mind went to Evan, his sex drive, zoning out. "No.. They would have to be small.."  "What?"  I blinked in suprise seeing that 10k was staring at me.

I gulped, just grabbing them and a smaller box for Evan. I stood back up and pointed at the front desk, 10k walked towards it. I walked to the back office, picking the lock and walking in.

It was a small room, a couple shelves with books on them and a bloody sleeping bag. I looked over at the desk, noticing the scattered papers. I heard the door close, and before I could turn around.. Suddenly something grabbed my mouth and pushed me to the wall behind the door.

I glanced up in panic, getting ready to kill the culprit, my eyes narrowing in relief that it was only Tommy. His eyes were on the, now locked, door. "I heard voices, and these are fresh kills."

10k looked down at me, his right hand still on my mouth and his left holding my right wrist to the wall so I wouldn't stab him. "Freddy, go look through the aisles, Barnes, the back room."

I looked over at the shelf and noticed a window. 10k's eyes locked with mine, then I looked at the window to show him. He followed my glance and nodded, releasing me.

We walked over quietly and he climbed up first, only agreeing because I need someone to cover me. I climbed on the desk just as the door opened. I jumped up to the window and heard a gunshot.

I pulled myself out the window and fell flat on my ass with a groan. 10k grabbed my wrist and bolted. I winced in pain.

He started muttering apologies, still pulling me. When we were slightly away, just hitting the trees, another gunshot was fired at us. A sniper shot. I pushed 10k forward, causing him to let go of me.

There was one last shot and I cursed out loud feeling it go through my ankle. I collapsed and watched 10k's eyes turn around in panic. I growled out in pain, pulling out my pistol and aiming. I shot twice but looked down, realizing it was close range.

I grabbed 10k's ankle, causing him to fall beside me, a bullet flying over his head. I grabbed his sniper, which was strapped to his chest, and aimed it, shooting a single time. I looked up and saw the guy drop off the roof he was on, dead.

I looked down at 10k, whos face was really close to mine from the way I held the gun. He blushed slightly and I dropped his weapon, making him fall back abruptly. I glared down at him, growling at the pain in my leg.

His eyes darted down to my, now bloody, pants and I looked at him with a look that could kill. He sat up as I fell back. My eyes closed in pain when he touched my leg to look at the damage.

He leaned over slightly, taking a look at it. I cried out at the movement. He froze. "Where is Doc when you need him.."  I chuckled. "Sitting on his ass with Murphy." He tensed at the sound of my voice.

I whined in pain, hearing footsteps. 10 looked at me in panic. "We need to leave.. I don't.. I don't know what to do.." I retch into my bag and pulled out a bottle of painkillers and downed like 8 of them.

I put my knife in my bag and looked at 10k. He looked at me with a worried look. I chuckled weakly as I punched his arm lightly "Come on.. It's not like I've not been shot before. Why is now any different?" He motioned to the blood. I shrugged.

More footsteps. By the pace it was, I could tell that they were human. 10k noticed too, pulling me carefully into a bush. I whimpered in pain and he looked at me with soft eyes, laying in the Bush beside me.

He whispered to me. "I bet you still don't weigh much, I could probably carry you if I had to. The painkillers won't last long."

The footsteps grew further away and I looked at him. He bit his lip. "What about Z's though..?" I held my pistol up. He sighed and picked me up bridal style, careful to not knock me on anything.

He started heading back and there were only a couple Z's, which I handled with ease. I grew drowsy though.. And my head rested on 10's chest, causing him to tense.

He stopped dead in his track and I whimpered again. His eyes grew soft as they met mine. "Tommy.."  He started walking again. My eyes were half lidded and I knew I was losing conscious.
