Two days had pass and within those two days the men outside had gotten into eleven fights and Courtney and I had played just about all the card games we could think of.
"We need to get out." I said quietly.
"I've tried everything." She responded. I shook my head slowly and stood up.
"Not everything. I have an idea that just might work." She tilted her head slightly before standing up and speaking, her eyes filled with hatred. "Go ahead and share."
After explaining the plan to her she smiled and offered a small nod of approval. With shaking hands I made my way to the door that locked us and pounded on it.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" shouted one of the men.
"I have something for you. I found some food and water back here in this little wall compartment." There was silence before he slowly opened the door, letting the light from outside in. He was tall, and overweight. His breath smelled heavily of blood and my eyes started watering ever so slightly.
"Well c'mon, give it to me."
"Not yet. You have to promise me something." Suddenly Courtney appeared beside me and slammed her boot directly into his crotch then her hand into his nose. "Scream as loud as you can."
My hand found his shotgun that had fallen from his hand and i aimed it directly at his leg and fired. He let out a loud scream and fell to the ground. Courtney and i stepped over him and crossed into the store. I raised my gun and looked around before dashing through the aisles. Suddenly one of the men from before crossed into our path with a gun raised at me. Without a moment of hesitation i pulled the trigger, sending a bullet into his neck. His body crumpled to the ground and my gun fell with him.
"I killed someone." I spoke in a hoarse voice. Blood poured from his neck as I let out a weak whimper; my feet frozen in their place.
Courtney grabbed my arm and yanked me forward with a grunt and sprinted out the door and into the sunlight. I squinted in the light and looked around wildly as Courtney took off in the opposite direction. "Courtney! Get back here!"
I ran after her and caught up to her easily. "We're not splitting up now!" She stopped and turned to speak before widening her eyes. I turned to look at what she was staring at before stepping back next to her as two girls came into view, one of them limp in the others arms.
"Help us, please!" The conscious sobbed. "She was bitten!" She dropped the bitten girl to the ground and looked directly at me with a terrified expression. "My name's Meira.. and this is Lizzie."
