The Dead Among Us

Part 4: A lost family

Winter's P.O.V.

"Therese!" I sobbed shaking her lightly "c'mon, Therese wake up!"

Therese grunted in pain. I sighed in relief "Wha-what happened?" Therese asked "You hit your head on the ladder and then the floor." I answered. Therese sat up from the dirty floor " C'mon, I'll help you up" I said.

Therese's P.O.V.

I reached for Winter's hand and got up from the dirty floor. I put my arm around Winter's neck and started to walk. I covered my nose and mouth with my hand from the smell of the sewer. After a while we reached a ladder that leaded to a manhole. It said fable town " Yes!" I said. Winter climbed up the ladder and became half-wolf, she opened the manhole and peered her head around to check if there were any of those things " It's surprisingly clear!" Winter whispered to me " You sure?" I asked. She checked again "Hmm...no I don't think so? She said " Ok then" I said Winter climbed out into the street I climbed the ladder quickly just in case the ladder would break. We ran into the building " Ah!" We heard a woman scream, we quickly ran to the right of the hallway. A woman was being pulled by those things, I quickly pierced its head " Are you ok?" I worriedly asked to the woman on the floor "No I'm bit" she replied looking at her bitten leg " And? Its just a bit" I questioned " When you get bit you turn into those monsters!" She sobbed. " Can you please kill me?" She begged " No, we can't kill our own people, we would never forgive ourselves" Winter said " Belief me hon, your doing the world a favor when killing these things and me a favor too" she said " Your the Bigby's daughters aren't you?- she said looking at me-Let me tell you a secret: both of your parents are not really dead." She said " How-how do you...?" I said "they're just doing what's best, you'll find out later" she responded. " Do you know where the rest of the fables went?" I asked " Who knows? they all ran out after these things came walking around eating people I heard that there is a Shelter nearby not far from here it's four blocks away, you can't miss it" she said " Who are you?" Winter asked "I'm Rose Red, Please tell my sister I loved her if your so kind, she's Snow White" she sobbed " We won't forget & we won't forget you too" Winter said " Here take this, Therese" she said pulling out a gun and handing it to me " How do you know my name?" I asked grabbing the gun " How could I not remember both of my nieces name?" She answered I stared at her with shocked eyes with a tear running down my chin. " I will miss you Therese and Winter and the rest of the family....Please kill me...I will miss you all and please survive this Shit" She said looking up at me with a tear running down her cheek. I raised my knife up my head " Wait! How do we know we can turn when getting bit where fables we can't turn can we?" Winter said " Winter...That is what happened to Ambrose, remember?" I said " Wait Ambrose is-is..." Rose sobbed and put her hand on her mouth. "I'm sorry" I said she nodded. I pierced her head with no emotion Winter fell to her knees and sobbed loudly "C'mon, let's go to the shelter..." I said a tear ran down my cheek but I wiped it away.
