As soon as we make it inside, we quickly sit down. I sigh a breath of relief. Someone across from me is panicking. They can't stop twitching and looking left and right. It's making me nervous. "Jaxton, I'm scared." I say, inching myself closer to him. "It's okay. You're gonna be fine." He replies. I look over and see Sister Amelia guarding the doors. She pulls out her walkie talkie. "One minute. Start getting ready to come to bunker, brothers and sisters." She says. I start to notice something moving on the other side of the room. I stand up to get a better look. "What is it?" Jaxton asks.

"I'm not-"

I start to hear haunting laughter from the thing on the opposite side of this bunker. "Oh no.." I gasp. "CANNIBAL IN BUNKER!" Someone screams. Everyone looks over and starts screaming. I hear another ghostly laugh. It sounds really- "OW!" I scream. Something sinks it's teeth into me and rips a huge chunk of flesh out of my side. I fall to the floor, in pain. I start panting heavily. My eyes are widen with horror as I look over at my ghastly wound. "JOHNSON! OH MY GOD!" Jaxton screams. A nurse comes running over and whacks the cannibal that bit me. I try to stop the bleeding by placing my hands over the huge hole in my side.

"NOT AGAIN, PLEASE!" Jaxton begs. He gets on his knees and tries to help with the bleeding. I gasp as his hands touch the giant wound. "Johnson, I'm so sorry! I'm so, so, so, sorry. P-Please forgive me. Please.." He starts crying. I start feeling woozy. I feel awful. My boyfriend is crying and blaming himself. It felt like my organs got ripped out of me. I'm bleeding a lot. "NURSE! HELP!" Marissa yells. Two nurses come running over. They gasp once they see me. "Move." One of them says. Jaxton stands up as the nurses both kneel down to try and help me. "Jaxton..." I say. I start coughing up blood. "He's bitten pretty badly. I think the ill got his lung."

Jaxton kneels down beside my head. "No, no,
no. Please!" He begs. I reach for his face with my trembling, bloody hands. "Don't blame yourself..." I tell him. I feel so dizzy right now, but I had to get those words out. He needed to know not to blame himself. I start to feel pressure on my wound and I hiss in pain. My eyes start to feel heavy. Jaxton brings his face closer to mine. "No! Stay awake, Johnson! Don't go to sleep!"

It's hard not to. My eyes slowly close, and slowly open. Then it repeats. "Jaxton.."

"Y-Yes?"

I reach for the back of his head. With what strength I had left, I manage to pull him closer, and kiss him. I kiss him one last time. I can feel his hot tears dripping onto my face. "Jaxton, you need to move over!" Marissa tells him. She grabs his shoulder and he stops kissing me.

"I love you."

Is what I say to him.

The last thing I see is his shocked face as I quickly fall unconscious. The last thing I ever hear is screaming, my boyfriend crying, and the blaring alarms that echoed throughout the asylum.
