The Infected [1]

17.Cat's Out Of The Bag

"Alright you two, remember to control yourselves. Wouldn't want any victims do we?",I raised a brow at them. They sighed but nodded.

The cabin became more visible as we walked closer. I fasten my pace and so did the two behind me. I kinda wanna see how fast they can be. I began to jog a bit, my instinct detested such a move but I did my best to ignore it.

Once we reached the cabin, Jay and I were panting slightly while Mark looked perfectly fine. Guess that's the one advantage he has.

I knocked on the door and it opened revealing Jeff with a slight purplish bruise on his right cheek. I gasped and rushed to him. "What happened?!"

"Anna happened.",he responded.

"Where's Andrew?"

"Negotiating with her."

I shook my head and pushed him to the side before entering the cabin to find the humans except for Anna holding their weapons in a threatening stance.

My instincts were outraged at the fact that I was being threatened by my 'preys'. A quiet growl escaped my lips as my eyes began to take a redder hue. "Calm down, we don't want to hurt you. If we want to, we could've killed you in your sleep.",I said in a gruff voice due to my high instincts.

"I agree with her.",the old lady spoke after a moment. Her voice was very frail and she was shaking slightly but I could tell she could do a lot of things despite her small size.

I thanked her wordlessly and she seemed to get the message as she nodded. I turned to the rest of the humans and asked,"Where's our friend?"

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Andrew came out of the room with a few scratches and bruises on his arms, Anna pointing her shot gun at his back as they walked into the room.

"So.....",I started but had no idea what to say.

"They'll let us stay."

I sighed in relief but stiffened when he spoke again.

"But we're only allowed inside for food and showering. These idiots don't trust us yet after us allowing them to stay.",he said the last part low enough that only us zombies could hear.

"Fine, we agree but remember this is still our cabin. We get to make the calls here. Don't forget that.", I reluctantly agreed but send a glare their way.

The humans shrunk back from the menacing look but not Anna. "No more secrets."

I nodded. "No more secrets",I repeated.

She held out her hand and I shook it.

At least we have come to an agreement.

"Jeff, Andrew, c'mon let's treat those bruises and scratches."
