We entered the store to find a petite lady she was dressed in a green long-sleeved shirt and black pants respectively. Her green shirt was now stained with many patches of red along with a blot of more blood by her collar. Her throat was slit so deep to the point she was nearly decapitated her head leaned over but still hung on by some flesh she was slumped over onto the floor, "that wasn't on my bingo card " Matthew whispered. Slightly Containing his panic. I felt a chill. " you sure nobody knew about the entrance dude?" just then. All the lights cut on. In the mall, the loudspeakers went off " WELCOME TO HELL..." " oh what the fuck" I exclaim drawing my weapon.
Ready to attack anyone who's not one of us... Everyone huddled up around each other back to back watching each other's six. " we have to get back to the car before they do." Matthew declares. I was nervous this was different. It felt off. Something was seriously wrong. " we can't stay in this store." Gina enunciates. Matthew steps out and starts walking back to where we came from. We all follow suit weapons readied. I grazed my gun, anticipating to use it at any moment. We were sticking out the lights were illuminating our every move. Just then we see a zombie. Except. It seemed so different. It was walking slightly off. Matthew got ready to attack when the zombie brandished a box cutter. " what the fuck" Leia screams. Three more of the same exit from a hot topic. How fucking ironic. Matthew swings at the "zombie" but he dodges the hit. " hehehe well....come" the freak says in a sadistic monotone voice. He swings at Matthew who ducks and takes another swing with his barbed wire bat hitting the petite guy Matthew bashes his head in. The other three zombies " Hehehe you will be free...... they set you free" in monotone voices as well. Mark takes on a more muscular-built "zombie" brandishing his axe. Swinging for quite literally his life. Two shorter "zombies" approach me and Leia. Leia Swifly kicks the "zombies" knees. And swings her bat straight into the head of the zombie splattering blood all over her black jean shorts and black tank
It was my turn. The zombie approaches me displaying a box cutter. " hehe. Free. You will be. Free" she stumbles towards me. I can't detect her facial expressions. Because of the mask. I can tell it's a girl by the frame. I put on a smile. And pulled out my trusty knife. " let go bitch " I inch forward and slice at the girl's face. She was not fast enough to dodge, blood dribbled down the mask and she groaned. She swings at me and cuts my arm. Blood gushes down. "Fuck" I say under my breath. I go to swing and see Luke run behind her and smash her head in with his Bat. The force he used. Splattered blood and brain matter everywhere. I met his eyes and I saw something in them. Satisfaction. He enjoyed protecting me. Having this power. " we have to go now. "
we see about five more zombies coming from stores we run towards the exit. We came from. Mark tried to yank the door" fuck they locked us in" We run the adjacent way. We turn down another corner and we see another door. We open the door and see an exit the same as we came in from. We run down the stairs and make it to another cellar. " Mark kicks it open." we run out of the back of the mall. And run until we see the car. I turn around and see zombies following about seven. " get in the car now" Matthew screams. We all hop in and Matthew puts the keys in the ignition and turns the car around. Heading back to the house. I look out of the window and see the zombies just standing there. Staring at us drive away. Analyzing us. I feel sick. My arm was throbbing from the fight "That was fucking insane" Gina says. " well at least we'll smell good" Leia adds. I just look out of the window sorta of zoning out. It's been a long day I desperately need a bath. Blood covers me. The rest of the ride was back in silence. Any conversation would be forced, we needed this time to collect. Luke rubs my back and plays in my hair. He comes close to my ear and whispers "When we get back I'm going to bathe you and rub your back and we have to clean that wound". I smiled and looked down at my arm. The blood was now caked up and discolored. It was a flesh wound. Healing would be hell but we had painkillers and liquor so I think I'll be alright
When we arrived back at the house we parked inside of the driveway. I looked down at my watch which read 12:30. It still was early. We all get out. I go straight to my and Lukes's room. He follows behind. I opened the door and stepped inside. I took a deep breath and immediately went into the bathroom. I took off my long-sleeved black tee shirt which was covered in stains of blood. Mine and others. Followed by my black leggings. I stared at my face and body. My face was covered in bloodied freckles. I hear a knock on the door. "it's me... can I come in Princess?" Luke States innocently. " of course" I open the door for him and I can't help to smile when I see a med kit. A fresh black tee shirt and a pair of his corresponding boxers. "I put your bag by the bed." he walks in and places the clothes on the white sink. "I smell like shit, a shower is needed badly " "Let me get my soap and clothes wait for me".
