Quarantined ( a One Direction fanfic )

CHAPTER SEVEN: A NEW LIGHT

    " I think I found a lightswitch" Louis rolled his hand over a bump in the wall and flipped it upwards. The light revealed them a new room, the women's room. There were five stalls, and a counter with mirrors behind them.

   They could hear the infected things scratching mercifully against the door, but didn't bother. Thee door was secure.

    " Where did the others go?" Liam asked with concern.

    " Well, I-I think they're ok. If they, you know, I think those zombies wouldn't be bothering with us. And besides, I think I saw Harry and that Allison girl go into some sort of storage room. But I haven't a clue what happened to Nialler and Kendall . . I think that, they are pretty smart, they would have found their way out." Zayn replied.

    " Oh, ok. Well, we need to contact them, and see how to get out of here, or, alteast see how they're doing." Liam said.

    " Ssshh!" Louis commanded. " Listen." He pointed to the last stall in the corner. Under it were two small, pink sandals, with tiny feet to go with them. Louis motioned for the boys to follow him, as he walked that way with his weapon ready.

    Louis took a deep breath, and pushed open the stall door with the tips of his fingers.

    * Harry and Allison *

    " Are you ok?" Harry asked, putting his hand on her shoulder.

    " Yeah, I don't even think I got touched by one of those things, what about you?" She replied.

    " Nope, I'm good. Lets find some kind of light in here, shall we?"

   " Oh, here." Allison handed Harry her iPod. He waved it around in the air, examining his surroundings.

   " There it is." Harry raised his hand and tugged a rope, which lit up a yellowish bulb. Around them were metal shelves on every wall, containing tons of different supplies such as toiletries, and toilet paper.

    " Where, where did Kendall go?? And the others?" Allison said with worried, hopeful eyes.

    " I-I, I really don't know, but, I heard the door across the hall slam, so I think they're ok." Harry replied.

    " Oh, well, ok. How are we ever going to get out of here without being killed?!"  She asked.

   " I-, Allison, I've been wanting to tell you something." Harry began " I just, now that no one else is around, I wanted to tell you, for the time I've known you, and from when I first saw you from upstairs, I thought, 'What a beautiful girl,' and now that I see how you handle things, you're very brave. I like you, Allison." He looked into her eyes, and hugged her tightly.

* Niall and Kendall*

    " I wonder how the rest are if they're ok" Kendall said as she peered out the window. She turned her head, and saw Niall limping.

    " Are, are you ok?" She asked.

    " I don't know, it's my leg." He replied.

    She walked over to Niall, and ordered him to sit on the bed. She rolled up his pant leg, and gasped.

    " What, Kendall. What is it? Please . . "

" You, You're bitten." She sobbed. " Niall, I, no. NO. You aren't going to become one of those monsters. No." With that, she pulled off her Hollister shirt, revealing a black camisole.

    " What? What are you doi-" He was interrupted.

    " Do not move. It will only quicken your bloodflow, and spread it." She tied the teal shirt tightly around his knee. She looked around frantically, and yanked out her shoestring. She double knotted it under the bite.

    " Ok, Niall. You have to trust me. Can you do that, please?" He responded with a nod, tears filling up.

    " No, don't cry. You're going to be fine. Trust me." She stood and hugged him. Without pulling away, she pulled her head back and kissed his cheek softly.

    " Now, listen to me, okay? Do you see this little grey skin here on your leg? The spot isnt growing because I stopped the bloodflow. You might feel your leg go numb, ok? That's fine. But, as soon as I take off these things, The flow will start again, and you won't be ok. So, don't freak, kay? But I have to get rid of the infected parts, . ." She pulled out a pocket knife from her back pocket. " W-with this."

   " Oh, God . . Is there another way , I mean what will, I-I .. " He was crying now.

    " Ssshhh. It's fine. Just please, close your eyes. If it hurts, squeeze my arm. You'll be ok. I promise."

    " O-Ok." He responded. Kendall nodded, and took out a bottle of hand sanitizer. She lathered her hands in it. She always carried small first aid kit with her, because she had a degree in pediatrics, and she was prepared.

She started slowly carving the knife around the grey spot, trying to hurry so the pain wouldn't last long. She pulled off what she had carved, and Niall whimpered. She searched in her tiny kit, and pulled out a vial of disinfectant.

    " This is going to burn, but this is what's going to help, and fix you." She dripped some of the bottle's contents into the cavity in his leg, and it started to bubble like crazy. She rinsed it out with water from the bathroom, and repeated the entire process two more times.

   " As of now, Niall, the infection isn't in your body" She said, as she wrapped her entire roll of gauze around his leg. She sealed up her kit, and removed her blood drenched shirt and shoelace.

    " I, how can I ever thank you?" Niall said with tears streaming down his face.        

    " It's my pleasure. Just rest for now. I'll try to get hold of the others." She handed him a small red pill.

    " What is this?"

   " It'll make you sleep, and will help with the pain."

    " Oh, ok." He took the pill dry, and Kendall winced at this. " Try to get a hold of your friend, and figure out how to get out of here, ok? And please try to find some food." Kendall smiled at this. Niall was about to sleep " T-thank you. I love y-" Niall murmured before he dozed off.
