A Cold Blue Reality

Chapter 5- The graceful killing

Genna's POV

I watch as they all head outside to help. Why was I so stupid? I guess.... I guess he was right. I am just lonely. I just needed a reason to have some sort of relationship with some one. I let out a sigh and start walking towards the door. I guess I am just a little bit...lonely. I just need some time to get over this. In the mean time let's go apologize to Natalia. 

Josh's POV

I constantly look over at Natalia making sure she doesn't go back inside and let Genna feel her wrath. I look back at the door to see Genna walking over towards us. Oh shit....What's gonna happen. Genna walks over to Natalia, turns her around and hugs her. "I'm sorry Natalia I guess...I guess I was just....Lonely and wanted some attention. I'm sorry... I really am."  Natalia was frozen...In thought I guess. She started to hug Genna back,

"I'm sorry too. It just made me mad and you kissed him, so my aggression came out. I just love Josh is all and I want to keep him all to myself. But you don't need to feel lonely. You have us and we have you.... I promise." Genna pulls away and says sarcastically,

"Well that's great and all but I want some one to hold me the way Josh holds you and look at me the way Josh looks at you. " She nods her head,

"I can understand that. I understood that for fourteen years of my life. I know you will find him... ya know... a guy who you can call your own." I smile and look at them both and think to myself this is true friendship.I look around the town inspecting the newly finished wall "Good, Sturdy enough to keep out the zombies. It only took three days but we did it now to clear out the houses." Natalia nods in agreement,

"Then everyone will have a place to live." I look at her and smile. I wanted to ask her SO badly if she would live with me. But I was nervous. She looks at me,

"What?" I guess I had zoned out looking at her,

"Nothing..." I said quickly looking away. I start blushing at the thought of me and her living together.  In my dreams,

"You sure?" She says at me worriedly. I nodded my head,

"I'm sure. Let's just start getting these houses clear." She nods,

"Let's get started." The original group members followed us and helping us clear the houses. We go up to the first house with only knives so we don't waste ammo. I walk in and start tapping on stuff making noise so they would come close. It worked I hear shuffling from up stairs. Natalia bolts up the stairs and then slowly opens the door to the room where the noise was coming from. Five zombies come out. I go to help her but she shakes her head, "I got this." She puts her knife in her belt and starts to do something amazing.

She walks towards the zombies and grabs one of their head and snaps it.She turns around ducks at a swat a zombie had thrown at her. She stood back up and kick it in the chest sending it back into a wall. She pulls out her knife and stabs him in the head. All in one swift motion, it was kinda like she was dancing with them. But that was two down three left. She turned around only to find herself face to face with another zombie. She grabbed it's head and ripped it off. Two left. She saw the last two and pushed them into each other. Making them fall to the ground and she stomped on their heads killing them both with one swift blow. It went on like this until all the houses were clear.

After that everyone picked their houses and then it was just us as a group left in the house we started off at. I look around, "Well... I guess this is were we all pick our own places to live huh?" everyone nods,

"Well I kinda want this house."I said slowly, "It where we started off and it's kinda were I wanna stay." I think it's time to ask her. I feel my face start to turn bright red. Everyone left to go pick there houses but Natalia was the last one in the line. I pulled on her arm and she stopped and turned towards me. "Can I talk to you?" She nods her head and walk with my to behind the door,

"Are you okay?" I nod my head and feel my face turn bright, and I mean BRIGHT red. 

"I wanted," I stopped. I feel a lump start to form in my throat. STOP CHOCKING UP ON YOUR WORDS. I took a deep breath and look back at Natalia who was very worried by now,

"Are you sure you're okay?" I nod and take a breath again.

"I just wanted to know," My heart is racing so fast and loud I'm afraid she can hear it. "I wanted to know," I'm getting mad at myself. Just SAY IT. "I wanted to know if you would live with me here?" I held my breath.....
