Rachael:Part 2: Love is never undead

I tried hold in my screams as I held him tight and nearly clawing into his back, but not out of pain, no, out of the pleasure I felt, sure the love between us was growing more. While making love I wondered, was this what teens should normally be doing, was this right, especially with his sister watching TV only two rooms away? He looked in my eyes as I looked back, loosening grip on his back slowly letting go.

"Y-you think this was okay to do? I mean, what if I-"

"It's okay, nothings going to happen, if anything this means our love is getting stronger." He said cutting my sentence short.

I smiled, hugging him, Damian, my boyfriend and lover, probably the only great thing I have other than my parents. He pulled the covers over us again as we tried to continue but were interrupted by a knock at the door as Raina's voice sounded, Damian's younger sister.

"Damian, are we going to the store yet, I'm bored."

He sighed. "Okay, we'll be out in one min, alright?"

"Okay Dami.", Her footsteps faded back into the living room.

"Well, that's our cue, shall we go?"

I nodded as he kissed my lips gently we resisted the temptation not to make out, he slowly got off of me and helped me off the bed as we took a little time to get dressed and walked out of the room. "Someones a little too excited to go to the store, huh?", I smiled at Raina and held Damian's hand as I layed my head on his shoulder, she went to his other side and grabbed his other hand.

"So, everyone ready? I should probably bring some non-stick spray" He said laughing.

I pushed hit his chest softly as we left out of the door and started to walk down the dark street to the store on the corner. It sold all kinds of things, toys, foods, and other things, the best thing about it though is that it was open twenty-four hours. All of a sudden a few people ran past, then a few more, until a whole crowd of people was running past, I even saw what looked like two soldiers.

"What happened? A accident or something?"

"Yea, I wonder...", he grabbed a mans arm.

"Hey, wheres the fire?"

"Monsters! Zombies! Run away! Run while you can!", he escaped his grip and ran off.

"Monsters, and zombies? Man must be crazy, Raina doesnt even believe in that, isn't that right Raina?"

There was no answer as we both look over to his other side, Raina wasnt there, soon after we heard her crys for help.

"Big brother! Help! I'm over here, help me!", she was caught in the crowds of people, and being drifted away, as if in a stream with a strong current.

"Raina, Raina!", he called for her as all of a sudden, I was pushed down, and caught in the crowd, only hearing him calling both our names.

" Raina! Rachael!"

"Damian!", we both said, our voices synchronized.

Everything went dark as I was knocked unconscious by someones elbow, I was out about for about half an hour before I awoke in alley. My vision went from being dim, and slowly crawled to being clear, I looked around, noticing the crowd, still going past at the entrance to the alley. But something was wrong, this crowd was more calm, as if the terror that was going on earlier had subsided, not only that, but the people looked as if they were injured. They limped, and walked slowly, their clothes and skin were torn from their body, they moaned, a low slow moan and kept walking. Cautiously, I got up from where I was, and turned to the back door of a restaurant behind me, called, Emmy's Diner. I wiggled the handle, trying to get it open, as a figure crept of behind me moaning, I wouldn't be able to get inside in time, fearing the man would hurt me, or give me whatever contagious disease might be going around now, I ran down the alley, as I turned around, to look at the figure, wearing a police uniform and looking at me. Was he like those other sickly people, I asked myself, looking as another figure came out of the diner, as the cop pulled out a gun and shot, but not at the person, maybe another sick person behind that one. I knew this was no sick person, I ran their was as they ran my way. I stopped, as the man in the police uniform grabbed my hand, faster than I could notice and nearly dragged me away as I gained my footing and ran with them. We ran out to the street and looked around for a possible chance of escape as zombies closed in from behind and the sides of us.

"There!", The officer said, pointing to a police car on the side of the street, with a assuring tone in his voice.

"Alright!", The woman with the red vest said loudly.

We ran to the cop car and quickly got inside as I scooted into the seat with the woman and the police officer peeled off.

"Whats going on, I arrived in town and the place went insane!" The woman said.

"Great! The radio's out!" He said sarcastically talking over her.

They began their conversation, introducing each other, from what I heard, their names were Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Leon skidded around the corner and kept driving fast as he told Claire to check to glove box, which contained a gun. She took the gun and started aiming as Leon told her something and starting turning toward me to ask me something.

"So, whats your-"

As if on que a zombie jumped up from the back seats and began to moan and reach for us as Leon swerved and scraped a wall as the door gave way from me leaning against it. I felt nothing but air as I fell out of the car onto the ground and rolled, only injuring my arms, scratching them up. As soon as I started to get up, I heard the police car slam into a pole not far down the road, as I finally got to my feet, I felt something else, the ground had started to rumble and shake as a I look behind me to see a eighteen wheeled tanker speed past and slam into car. The tank most likely full of gasoline flipped on its side as it skidded against the ground, making a horrible sound as the metal tore and the gasoline ignited and the whole truck exploded. Eliminating the chances of their survival, and eliminating, my protection, I was now doomed, I was now, alone.
