DEAD

chapter five~Heads roll

Nyla -

      My feet hurt and my back ached.I stepped around the woman's body and reloaded my gun.The town was at least four miles away;I could be there by sun down.The sun was at it's highest. Every thing was silent except the sound of my walking feet.Nothing's the same anymore. Engines sounded in the background,so I  hid behind a car. The car's slowed  to a stop.

   

        "I swear I saw a girl!"I need to be more careful...scavengers are close.

            "Swearin' won't do ya anything. Start looking for her!"I pulled myself into a tight crouch.The man's tennis shoes came closer and I braced my self for attack.Come closer,bitch. His face was ugly,to be honest.Before he could say anything I tackled him onto  the ground and quickly stabbed his chest.

       "Hey!"The other had a rifle. I lept behind the car,taking out my gun. "You can come with me,or you can die,girl."I smirked and raised my voice so it could be heard.

              "I'm gonna burn in hell for all the people I killed.But like I care."I quickly stood up and shot him in the stomach.Then ran,ignoring the shouts of a third one.There may be more nearby. I headed off the road and towards a overgrown gas station.

    "Damn it!"I hissed as I dropped to a crouch at the door.There was at least two zombies in there,both class B.Their heads turned towards the sound of the scavenger so I sprinted towards the back of the building. I looked at the cities sky line.I lost some time, but I might only have a slight delay.

                "Where's the girl!?"

I sighed and decided to take the long way.I trudged through the plants,I swear it's like a fucking jungle. You can tell people haven't been here for a while. My trail would stick out like a red dot on perfectly white paper,so

I picked up the pace. Every step was like a explosion.The pavement was barely visible. Damnit. Pain rippled through my stomach,so I stopped and knelt behind a bush. I pulled down my pants and under wear.Shit, it's that time of the month again, huh?I did that little dance that you do when your putting on pants. Okay...I'm more vulnerable to attacks. Zombies can smell blood from miles away.

           The sun was going down.I looked for a tall tree, but could only find tall weeds.The gas station was my only safe option, if only I could get rid of some zombies.

I hiked all the way back.By the time I was there the scavenger had already turned and the original class B's were there to. Alrighty then...I drew my sword.The Zombies turned and studied me for a bit. I didn't have much time left.My thighs burned and my knuckles were white.I lunged at the closest one.It's head rolled as I backpedaled while the scavenger grabbed at me. My sword went through it's neck, severing the head from the rest.The last type B tackled me and it ended up on top.Does this remind anybody of a cheesy horror film?The stink of rotten flesh surrounded me as we struggled against each other.I managed to throw it off and stab it between the eyes.

        Something crunched beneath my feet.I looked down and almost threw up(if there was anything in my stomach to throw up .)The scavengers head was crushed under my boot. I stepped away and cringed when I found out  one of it's eyes were crushed,stuck to the sole.I turned towards the gas station. Well...I have shelter now.I gathered some tinder and a stick. I used my knife to create a y-shaped  slit at the end of the stick and placed the tinder there.I got a two smaller twigs and rubbed them together over the torch.It caught flame by a spark. I entered the store. I think I might've found heaven.
