Don't Let Me Go

{The first book in the Apocalypse Series}
"Hey, Mark.. Are you doing okay?" Jack turns to him.
Mark limps along nodding, "Fine."
"You're not fine. We need to talk about this." Tyler frowns, "You're bitten. This is just like with Ethan."
"This is not like Ethan!" Mark growls, grabbing Tyler's shirt, "I am not going to die!"
Felix quickly separates the two, "Hey, now. No one is going to die while I'm here."
Marzia stands by, looking nervous, "We should.. Get going, it's getting dark.."
...
"Give me all your supplies and weapons, now!" the man demands, holding a knife to Minx's throat.
Cry just smiles, raising an eyebrow, "You sure you wanna rob us, buddy?"
Ohm snickers and the man's eyes narrow, "I'm serious, hand it over!"
Minx drops a pocket knife from inside her sleeve into her hand and she stabs it into the man's stomach. The split moment the man pulls away in shock, Minx spins, getting behind him and she holds one of his hands up against his back, her knife to his throat. She grins, "You picked the wrong damsel in distress."
