I'll Find You

Attacked

Chapter one ~ Attacked

*Zaya*

I sat against the Cupboards contemplating whether what I did was right or not. I mean he was gonna hurt me, the man laid lifeless on the floor. While a pool of blood surrounded him from the wound that was in the middle of his chest, the knife was on the floor still dripping blood while my hands, face and clothes were all stained of dry blood. It was a huge mess, and at this point I wasn't sure if defending myself and killing the man was right.

I played the event over and over in my head and still no thoughts came. My mind was empty, I was in shock, did I actually just kill a man in my kitchen? A few minutes passed and I was still out of it, I also heard heavy breathing but I couldn't tell if it was me or not. I shook my head trying to get out of my trance until I realized the strange man's finger moved.

'Wait I thought I killed him' I thought. I moved forward to place my head on the strange man's chest to see if I could hear a heartbeat. As I did so I felt something grab my hair and pull it, so I let out a small sherik. 'I thought he was dead' I thought to myself. I then noticed the growling sound that was coming from his mouth, he was so cold just like he was made of ice. He started tugging real hard moving my head closer to his mouth. I tried as hard as I could to get out of his grasp, but he wouldn't budge. I finally reached for the knife but it was too far away. I squirmed trying my best to reach but he kept pulling me closer and closer to his mouth. I knew at this point my arms weren't long enough to reach so I stretched my leg out using my foot to grab the knife.

His growls got louder and louder, as he pulled me closer he made chomping sounds as if he was trying to bite my ear.
" HELP!'' I cried out knowing nobody else was home. I tried my best to push my head up while struggling to reach for the knife. My breathing became heavy and short, great what a perfect time to have a panic attack. 'This is it' I thought to myself as I cried out for help once again still knowing nobody was going to hear me. When finally I got it I dragged it closer with my foot so I was able to grab it with my hand. As soon as I grabbed the bloody knife with my hand I raised to his head and stabbed him right in the skull hearing a discussion crunch sound, indicating to me that he was dead he slowly let go of my head and everything went silent.

I moved away as fast as I could moving back against the cupboard letting out a loud sob. So many questions were running through my head, but I decided to ignore them. Once my breathing calmed down I stood up , not making one sound but cautiously making my way out of the kitchen and to my bedroom down the hall.

'I need to leave' I told myself, I should have left 3 weeks ago with Liam, I shouldn't have listened to him. I mean I knew the dead were walking because of the news but I never saw it happen before my eyes.

Not even thinking I packed a bag grabbing whatever I thought I needed like clothes, toiletries, canned food, some water bottles and another knife, because I definitely will need something to protect myself. Should I leave? Is it really a good idea? I mean if I stay here maybe Liam will return, but if I stay I may get attacked again. As I walked out the door not even turning back, I grabbed my keys and booked it to the car. I should probably just walk but the car seems safer at the moment. And with that I drove off to wherever the hell I was going. Maybe I'll go look for him.
