Zombie Guts

Chapter 4

        Fay and I went back to the little boy, Alex, and I told him about his little sister. "Alex sweetie, your little sister, um, she's well... gone." "What do you mean she's gone? She was right under that tree, where is she now?!" Alex had tears streaming down his dirty face leaving streaks on his face. He was taking this really hard. "Your little sister was bitten by one of Them sometime last night and she was dead, sweetheart there was nothing we could do about it so we buried her right under that tree with the little cross on it." "Can I come with you guys, I have no one else left and no where to go what can I do?" Alex asked through muffled tears. I felt really bad for the poor little boy and told him he could but he would have to learn to fight and how to survive. Alex agreed and we were on our way to nowhere once again but this time with a five year old little boy along for the crazy ride.

        "Whats going to happen to us, are we going to go away like all the people?" Alex asked after moments of silence "No sweetie, we are going to live and that's all nothings going to happen." As I said that a group of about 3 of Them came from various trees to try to attack us, they must have heard us coming. "Okay guys fan out pick one and kill it!" I yelled at Andy and Fay "Alex you need to stay behind us and yell if you see any more of Them or if there is something wrong, okay?" "Okay." he agreed.

         The Thing that Andy picked to kill was the meatiest and looked like he was a body builder without a shirt there was large chunks taken out of his right side revealing his insides that were black and purple and looked in really bad shape, there was also a small chunk missing from the side of his scalp revealing pieces of brain tissue and blood, lots of blood. Fay got the woman who looked to be in her early 30's, there was a screwdriver stuck threw her stomach where there was black blood and bits of her intestines spilling out through the hole. She was wearing a torn blood white dress that you could barely tell was white. The one that I was stuck with was a boy about 12 that had the top of his head dented inwards almost a killing blow but not quite. He looked fine other than the head wound he didn't even have blood around his mouth or clothes. I twisted around to his back and stuck my katana straight through the back of his head before he could even turn, there was a huge bite mark on his back revealing ribs and many of them.

        Alex screamed loudly as the last Thing dropped to the ground and we all wiped around to see two more of Them lunging at Alex. Andy and I ran and jumped over Alex, Andy stuck his machete straight between one of Them's eyes and I chopped its head clean off and it rolled across the grassy ground away from us. My katana was now covered with blood so I gave my wrist a flick and all of the blood rolled straight off. Andy's machete wasn't as lucky, he tried to do the same but let go and flung it into the side of a tree. Alex fell down laughing and all of us followed close behind even Andy cracked up. Andy pulled his machete out of the large tree witch seemed to hold on good to things, because I also had to help him get it out. Fay cleaned her knife, I polished my katana, and Andy cleaned off the blood caked machete. I pulled out the screwdriver from the woman's stomach, cleaned it, and handed it to Alex. "I want you to use this if you ever get stuck and we are not around." "Okay but how do I use it?" he asked "I want you to stick it through their knees and when they are down I want you to stick it here." I told him pointing to my own forehead, he shook his head and put the screwdriver in his pocket.

        It was getting dark so we picked out four nearby trees with vines crawling up them and attempted to climb without noise. Alex was the first to get to the top of his tree and we followed but were slower. "Well well we have a little monkey here now don't we?" Fay asked everyone. "Yep we sure do right Andy?" I replied "Yep." "I climbed trees all the time at my house with my sister Layla but I always got up first and quickest, but my mom would always yell at me for climbing so high in the tall trees." Alex told us. We tied ourselves to the trees with some of the vines and took watches again for the night Andy first then Fay then me.
