"Brenda, don't move!" Despite Thomas' warning, she's still trying to get up. I shuffle towards the boy and grab his arm. Now he can reach Brenda better. There are some sounds from above. A crank flies down at great speed. Shuck! He lands right on Brenda and she tries to stomp off the bloodthirsty creature. It succeeds for a moment and she jumps up to grab Thomas' hand. Too late. The crank rushes at her again. A scream resounds when he bites Brenda's leg. Think, (y/n), think! Suddenly, I know. "Thomas, hold her tight!" I pull out a metal pipe and hit the glass as hard as I can. It breaks and the crank collapses into the abyss. Brenda smiles at me briefly as Thomas pulls her up.

*Time skips*
We finally got back on the ground. I see more and more signs of civilization. On my left, Brenda. She's limping because of the bite in her leg. It doesn't look too good and I'm pretty sure she's infected. Hopefully we'll get to the right arm in time before it gets too bad. The streets are getting busier and I even see people. I try to look around as inconspicuously as possible.
Thomas is trying the same thing. "Are you here for the party?" Says a woman's voice behind us. An indian dressed lady strolls sexually towards us. Brenda takes the floor. "No, we're looking for Marcus. This is his place, right?" Another voice sounds behind us. "His place? I can feel the woman's hand on my upper back as she pushes us toward a strangely dressed man. "Marcus doesn't live here anymore." I don't follow the rest of the conversation. I look inside a building. Behind some sort of curtain, it seems like there's  some sort of party going on. Something doesn't feel right here. The next moment, the woman gives me a bottle. She says I should drink it. I meet Brenda's eyes and she nods that it's okay. My lips touch the spout, I take a few sips, but I don't swallow. "Enjoy the party!" says the man and we're pushed inside. "Let's split up." Brenda stares at me intruding. "And don't drink anything else." As soon as she and Thomas leave, I spit it out on the floor. A strange taste is left behind. Hopefully no one's seen it. All right, Marcus, where are you? I'm trying to make my way among all the dancing people. There's shouting and loud music everywhere. How could you find anyone in here?

*Times skips*
I've been walking around for about ten minutes, but still no sign of anything that can help us. My gaze shoots to the side and a little further I see Thomas and Brenda. Thomas has a confused expression on his face. They both seem to be talking about something. Maybe they've discovered something. I want to go to them, but then something happens that breaks my heart. Brenda puts her arms around Thomas's neck, she pulls him closer and kisses him passionately. I'll stay dazed for a few seconds and then I'll turn around. Tears flow down my cheeks and I don't know what to think. My feet step in a random direction. I feel so stupid. How could I have thought she'd ever feel anything for me. Suddenly I stumble and my head bumps hard to the ground. Everything turns black.
