I layed my head back on the branch, trying to ignore the flesh eating (un)dead person below me.
"Hayes,Hayes where the hell are you?" I muttered through clenched teeth.
I felt around my pocket for my knife. nothing. I must have dropped it.
"Liz! Jump!" A voice said. I looked down and Hayes ran to the Zombie and attacked it, with my knife in his hand.
I jumped out of the tree and tumbled on the ground. I rolled on my back and felt the air get knocked out of me when I hit the ground.
I layed still, trying to catch my breath.
"no time for naps. Hunter is dying." Hayes said. He outstretched his arm and helped me up. I put my hand on my diaphragm, steadying my breathing.
"whered you find my knife?" I quietly asked.
"You dropped it. Oh and, I never got to thank you for drawing the 'thing' away. I got the water to Hunter." Hayes said. he then handed me my small and now, bloody pocket knife. I put it in my pocket, hence- the name.
"why did you come back to get me?" I asked. "you could have just left me, but you didn't."
"well, you seem pretty BadAss to me so I thought I would like to have you as a companion, since the world has kind of ended."
how can he be so calm?! Its the end of the world, and he is cracking jokes.
"Oh." I muttered. I didn't really know what else to say, he called me bad ass. im not. im a girl who liked to go camping with my dad alot, I wasn't bad ass.
we walked in silence until a scream came from a cabin close to us. it was Amy.
our pace quickened, we were soon running. we reached the cabin and ran through the door.
Amy was laying over a figure, sobbing.
It was Hunter.
He was dead.
And now, he was going to turn.
"Amy." Hayes said, walking towards her. He put his hand on her shoulder. She was still sobbing. She looked up. Her beautiful happy glimmer in her eyes were gone. her bright smile was gone. Her perfect makeup was smeared.
"Hes gone." She said between sobs.
"Amy we need to go." I said. it was the truth. I hated to be a horrible person, but it was. I felt awful, I let Hunter get bit. I didnt oppose to him going and checking out the site, it should have been me. Amy loved Hunter. nobody loved me.
"Im not leaving him." her voice came out in a croak.
"Liz is right. he may turn. let him be in peace until then." Hayes said, acting like nothing happened.
Amy tightened her once - perfect pony tail and kissed Hunter's lifeless body on the cheek. she mouthed something, I couldn't quite see it but I think it was "I love you."
Hayes grabbed her hand and helped her stand up. we all stood in silence. I saw Hayes bow his head down and mouth a few words. I walked to one of the beds and got a sheet from it. I bundled it up in my arms since there was alot. I walked back to Hunter's body and safely put the sheet over him.
"we should go now." Amy said.
we all walked out, back into the dangerous world.
