The water consumed me as I tried to swim up but it was no use, my exhausted body fought against me as I struggled to kick my legs, my air was just about to run out when I felt a hand grasp my own and I was pulled up out of the water

I broke the water surface and began coughing, I felt a hand rubbing my back as I grasped my wound

"Cmon we gotta g-" Mark started but was cut off by a gun shot right next to us
He scrambled up and gave me my bag, grabbing my hand and tugging me along I struggled to catch my footing as we ran through the city passing building and infected that started to chase us
My exhausted body refused to work with me as I fell to the ground and struggled to get up, I almost got up when I felt myself get pulled up by the back of my shirt

Mark pulled out his gun and began shooting

"Go!" He told me I began stumbling down the street he ran behind me shooting his gun to take out some infected, my pace slowed as my vision began to blur and I felt more blood spill out of my wound

I felt an arm snake around my waist holding me up as we continued running, after a while of struggled running he stopped and let me go, trying at a door to a big building that has some sort of neon lights on it
He pushed open the door and I rushed inside he pushed in after me slamming the doors and shoving some sort of metal in between the handle

I stumbled back using the counter to hold me up, my body shook and I felt blood drip out of my wound as I caught my breath, Mark step back from the door making sure it held as infected began banging on it once he was sure it held he bent over and breathed heavily, trying to steady his breathing

I took this time to glance around the place, it was pretty dark but there was a tiny bit of light so I could make out what it was, there was a stage with a pole on it and tables scattered around
the counter I was leaning on was a bar
I laughed slightly

"Really Mark? A strip club?" I rasped out directing my attention to him, he stood back up and examined the building

"I didn't know it was a strip club, it was the first place I saw that wasn't blocked off" he defended himself putting his hands up

"Sure" I laughed out a little bit of blood made its way up my throat causing me to cough he then began walking around

"Let's see if we can find some light aye?" He suggested walking to a door, I was about to answer when I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me, I stumbled away from the counter feeling the now familiar feeling of blood crawling up my throat, it began to pour out my mouth and I tried to to talk, but it only came out as choked gurgles

My vision began to become spotty and my brain became fuzzy, I struggled to find something to help me stand as I trip over my own feet trying to stay upward, a tear slipped down my face as fear filled my already fuzzy thoughts

I might die

That's the only thing I could think off, my vision got worse and finally I was able to speak

"Mark" I choked out, feeling my legs starting to give out

He turned around and his face fell
"Oh fuck" was the last thing I heard as I collapsed to the ground everything going black as my ears rung

========================================

"It's so dark tonight, but you'll survive certainly
It's alright, come inside, and talk to me"
