The Dead Romes

Hand

"Fuck..." Alice opened her eyes at the sound of Connor's voice, she lifted her head then sat up "what happened?" She asked
"N-nothing..." He stuttered Alice tilted her head in confusion. Alice looked over to see Leon asleep, she stood up and walked over to Connor and at a down next to him,     
Connor hid his hands in his pocket "ok, what's up?" Alice asked
Connor looked at her then looked back down "I... Uh, I got a bit..." He said and he showed Alice his hand which had a large bloody bit mark, "Oh fuck..." Alice stood up and rushed to her bag and pulled out some medical supplies, large fabric baggage, hydrogen peroxide, and her knife. Alice walked back to Connor and grabbed his hand, she tied the bandage below his elbow as a tourniquet "what are you doing?" Connor asked with his voice shaking a bit
"I going to cut off your hand," Alice said calmly, she looked up at Connor to see his eyes widen in fear "N-No! You can't!" Connor pulled his hand away from Alice's
"If You want to live give me your fucking hand!" Alice demanded, Connor thought for a bit then slowly nodded, he gave her his hand and looked away "this May or may not hurt" Alice warned trying to get Connor to smile before she cut off his hand. Alice put her knife above conner wrist and sliced, Connor groaned in pain, Alice hated doing this, she hated hurting people good or bad. Alice stopped once she hit the bone, "fuck..." She sighed under her breathe
"What? What's the matter?" Connor asked trying not to look at his arm
"I don't think I could cut through the bone"
"Wah- What? Then what is going to do?" Connor glanced over at his hand which was a little bloody
"I'm going to snap the bone" Alice spoke calmly not trying to Harlem Connor more then he was already.
Connor shook his head then looked away
"Alright... One the count of three..." Alice said as she put down her knife and gripped his arm
"one" she started
"two" she continued,
her grip on Connor's arm tightened
"Three!" Alice forced her hand to bend the bone tell she heard a snap.    (kinda like when you break a stick, but with an arm instead) Alice gagged and looked up at Connor who had passed out. She looked back down at his hand which was only hanging by a small strand of flesh, Alice picked up her knife and sliced off the rest of the hand and let it fall to the ground. She went back to her bag and grabbed another bandage and used it to tie up the open wound on Connor, she wished she had some kind of needle and thread so it was less likely he would get an infection. Alice sat back down on the sleeping bag and blankets knowing now she had to keep watch. Alice stood up and grabbed a rag from the cold cave floor and threw it over Connors severed hand, she wrapped the rag around the hand then threw out the cave, She noticed it had stopped raining as hard as it had been when they got there, she sat down and watch the trees dance in the light breeze. Alice guessed it was almost morning since the dark blue sky slowly started to lighten up, Alice watched the sunrise over the trees, this reminded her of camping in away. She looked over her shoulder when she heard movement behind her, Leon had woken "morning..." Alice's sighed knowing they had a long walk ahead of them
"Good morning..." He paused and looked down, he looked back up at Alice "will I ever get your name?" He asked Alice nodded "My name is Alice, Alice Main Doe," She said with a small smile "what do you have to eat?" Leon asked as he sat up and stretched then scratched his big black fluffy rabbit ears "um... I have some rabbit..." Alice offered not knowing if that would offend him or not. Leon shook his head not wanting to ear a rabbit since he was part rabbit
"Squrrile?" She tilted her head hoping he ate some kind of meat,     
She watched him slowly nod, Alice stood up again and grabbed a plastic bag from her backpack and pulled out a skinned squirrel ready to cook, "could you go get some firewood?" Alice asked, Leon, looked at the squirrel almost in disgust but agreed to eat it anyway "uh, yeah sure..." He said as he stood up and walked out of the cave. Leon picked up all the dry sticks he could find which was a little hard since it was still raining lightly, he came back to the cave to see Alice had made a fire pit with rocks, well the rocks were just in a circle to the fire didn't go anywhere. Leon dropped the sticks and dried leaves he found in the rock circle, Alice grabbed a lighter and set the leaves a flame, she wrapped the squirrel in tin foil and threw it into the fire to let it cook
"Ow, Fuck!" Alice looked over to see Connor was awake and was looking at his arm
"What happened?" Leon asked with his eyes widening
"He got bit so I cut off his hand" Alice explained calmly
"Can I remove this?" Connor asked pointing to the tourniquet
"Fuck no, not unless you want to bleed out" Alice growled, Connor slowly nodded
"I'm off in search of water," Alice said as she grabbed some water bottles from her bag then left the cave "Oh and in a little bit flip over the squirrel" she explained before heading into the forest. After a bit of walking she started to hear rushing water, She followed the sound tell she came upon a small creek, she bent over and started to fill the bottles with the dirty creek water. Alice stood up only to be knocked over with a gun pointed her head
"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Alice"
