Nine
I woke up with a slight headache and a sore arm. I didn't know how I got the sore arm, but I knew where the stupid headache started. I sighed and sat up. I decided to have a shower and grabbed a towel.
I had a quick shower in the messy bathroom and put on some clothes we bought. I headed out and saw Marina grimly making eggs and toast. I sat down and waited for the others. I got tired of waiting for them and decided to go outside.
Even though the motel was horrible, the outside was pretty cool. Unlike the rest of New York, this place actually had grass and living creatures. There was a random field across from the motel. I walked across to the field and looked up. The clouds turned grey and it started to rain, but I continued to walk.
I was halfway across the field when I stopped. I looked around, there was nothing there. Then, a faint glimmer of movement caught my eye. I looked forward and looked at the person standing there.
Lailah. She was soaking wet and there was blood on her chest. Her hair was plastered to her neck and her eyes looked unseeing. Then, other people started to walk up. I saw Sandor, Henri, Katarina, Adelina- all the people who died.
I screamed. They were walking towards me now, their arms outstretched like zombies. I ran and ran until I slammed into a wall. I was no longer in a field, but in a dark alleyway in the streets of New York. They had cornered me, there was nowhere to run. They came nearer until Lailah was an inch away from me.
Then I woke up, gasping. It was just a dream, it wasn't real, at least I hoped.
