30 days to live (a creature zombie AU)

Day 1

December 20, 2016

I couldn't sleep at all. my injury in my neck was killing me. serves me right for being lazy and not wanting to clean it up.

I take a rag and a bucket of water and head to the bathroom.

I lock the door and take a look at my neck.
I stretch my head to the side and wipe off all the blood on my face. I noticed that the wound had already scabbed but what made everything seem freakier was that it wasn't red like it should have been.

That colour wasn't even close to what I saw, it was brown, grey, and a dark faded green.
I panicked.

this is what it looks like when you get bitten by a zombie.... but I wasn't bit at all... in fact
why was it there?

...

Maybe it's because some of the others blood got into it.

I start pacing in the bathroom.
I grab my bag and pull out a white scarf.

I wrap it around my neck And crawl into the corner.

I cry.
I cried like I never cried before.

I remained there crying for the rest of the morning until it hit 11:00 am.

"Knock knock"

Some one knocked on the door.

"Kevin?" A voice said which I recognized to be James.
I slowly gathered my stuff together and fixed my scarf. I opened the door and James's eyes widened a bit.

"Kevin? Were you... crying?"
He asks me wiping of a tear from my face.

"Uh nah! I just had something in my eyes" I smile

He looks at me worried.

"Kevin your eyes are red and your nose is sniffling, I'm pretty sure you were crying." he says placing his hand on my shoulder.

I quickly brush it off.

"It's fine James, nothing is wrong." I lied.

I grab my sweater and my bag and move towards were everyone else is sleeping. I start to wake up the people in my room. I push aleks and spencer off the bed on to the rug floor.

"Come on guys! Get up Jordon is gonna get mad I you don't. And I don't want to be responsible for your lazy asses." I keep pushing them.

Spencer immediately got up and stretched his arms. glad he got up though. aleks was going to be a pain.

"Aleks get up." I say.

Aleks groans "Godamn it, do we really have to get up?"

"Not my fault." I add " its like 11:00 am get up."

Aleks let's out one last groan and gets up he scratches his head and rubs his eyes. He looks towards me noticing the scarf.

"Hey isn't that the scarf I gave you for when you...." he starts.

Aleks then wiggles his eyebrows. I know what he means after the whole eyebrow thing. Aleks gave me this scarf as a present for Christmas. Saying it was to cover hickeys if I got any. I never really used it for that though. I just kept it as a reminder that aleks is an ass sometimes.

I sigh "yes but it's just cold so don't start with that whole thing cause nothing happened."

Aleks gets up and wraps his arm around me.
"come on man, who was it with? You must be a soft moaner cause I didn't hear anything last night... well except zombies but you know...." He teases me.

"Uh how about im cold and I didn't do anything" I say pushing his arm off. "could you guys just get up before Jordan kicks my ass?"

"Whatever boss's pet" aleks proceeds to tease me.

I roll my eyes and head back into the other room to grab the remaining food we have. I pack it all up and call for Jordan.

"Hey Jordan we gotta get going." I shout across the room.

He steps out.

"Is everyone ready?" He asks with barely acknowledging me.
I can see that he still could give less shits about me, not that it will matter.

"Pretty much, aleks is being an ass to get up as usual." I say.

"Alright then we leave in 5 minutes" he says shoving me aside.

I growl and get my stuff together, I pick up my back and start heading downstairs. I look outside the window to see that a couple of teenagers where running from some zombies.

I watch.
Because there is nothing else I can do. other than not be a coward and look away.

The first girl had long blonde hair she took the metal pipe by her feet and tries to hit the zombie but it just ended up on top of her and she was eaten alive.

The tanned boy tried to save her but he was also eaten In the process.

I sigh. I see them on the ground torn to bits down to their bone.

I don't know if I'd rather become that or being a dead creature walking.

I think I like the second one better. sounds less painful.

We eventually head out. dan opens the map and looks over it.

We all sit here on patrol in the woods, I sit on a stump with aleks him still teasing me about the scarf.
Jeez talk about annoying.... which gives me an idea. I pull my bag off my shoulders and open the first pouch. I pull out a picture of that one face aleks made of marshall.

" Hey aleks remember this? " I said now teasing the poor old Russian dork.

"..." He doesn't say anything he just looks at me and face palms. "Godamn it" he mumbles.

James quickly comes over. and sees an opportunity to have a bit of fun.

We end up teasing the poor boy for a good hour. when we hear a shout.

All three of us stand up in panic. we see Seamus on the ground struggling with a zombie, his leg all bloody.

I quickly run up and kick the zombie to the ground. james takes a stick and impales the zombie's head. killing it.

We all run to Seamus, aleks holds the leg.

"Did it bite you?" Aleks asks.

"N..no I tripped over something... and it ended up like this..." he pants with every breath shaky.

Aleks takes Seamus's arm and puts it over his shoulder. I put his other arm over mine, and we both end up carrying him around.

We eventually meet up with Jordan and the rest.

"What happened?!" Jordan yells running over to help us carry Seamus.

"We found him like this" I say. as Jordan takes the arm from me and gets Seamus over to somewhere he can rest.

I look up and the sun is already starting to set. I grab some logs and set then down.

"We should probably set up camp" I say.

"With Seamus's leg in that condition it's most likely that we will not get very far." I state as clear day.

Everyone agrees and gets some sticks and stuff. eventually it gets dark and Jordan lights the campfire, we all watch it slowly go up in flames. James comes back with 3 rabbits and everyone starts crowding around the campfire.

"Dude where did you get all those" aleks asks.

"I caught them all" he says.

We all giggle while being around the campfire. we are all glad to be around the fire laughing and eating.

Everyone eventually went to sleep. Except me... I took a mirror and took off the scarf and took a look at the side of my neck.

Now the colours blue and purple were there and it was starting to sting and it got bigger. with that I took the scarf and put it over my neck. and went to sleep in the navy blue sleeping bag.
