The crying got louder as I approached a door at the end of the ally, the door already had a hole in it which made me thing about how much of a bad

idea this was, but I continued. I saw the source of the crying, she was sitting in a corner, she seemed hurt, so I went over to help her. I came up

from behind her and she looked back at me, she let out a growl and I started to think she was just as mindless as the commons, but then I herd a

word, "you!" She said in a frightful voice, getting up and cutting at my face with her long claws, I dodged most of the slashes, the others were just

misses on her part. She backed me up into a corner and scratched my arm ripping my hoodie, "what are you doing!" I said as my hood fell off

revealing my rad eyes, she had the same eyes as me, "oh no I'm so sorry." she began to back up, and then ran out the door crying into the night. I

wasn't going to let her go that easy, there was explaining to be done, I wrapped my bleeding arm with an old rag and started to sprint on all fours

(or all threes seeing that I wasn't using my hurt arm) after her. I was catching up and she knew it, so she ran to the building with the red door and

closed herself in there, I ran up and yell through the doors, "hey! Come back, please!" Soon after a face peeked around the corner, and then she

looked angry, "what are you doing here? Me being undead didn't satisfy you and now you're back to finish the job?" I looked at her puzzled as she

now moved closer to the bars, "what do you mean?" "Oh don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, you killed me." "What? but, then that

means that you're, and you remember?" "Every little detail." "That's great! No wait well not great but still good, look just let me in and I can

explain everything." she looked away and back at me, "you wont kill me?" I laughed, "I don't think I could kill you seeing what you just did to my

arm." I then looked down at it and saw the sling fell off my arm without me noticing, after about an hour of me telling her everything she had one

more question, "so why do I remember?" I thought of an answer that would make sense but nothing came to mind, "I don't know, its amazing that

you did though, sorry again." She looked at me, "for what?" for a second I though she began to lose her memories, "you know, what I did." she

looked sad now, "oh yeah, that. Its ok, I guess it is going to happen to everyone eventually, the military is just about wiped out and they sure as

hell aren't coming up with a cure. I guess I'm just glad I was one of the lucky ones." I looked at her torn green shirt, the scars from my attack were

completely gone, but I knew it was her, "I need to get back to my home." she looked up in excitement, "you have a home! Can I come?" I thought

for a moment about where she would stay, like hank said there were no rooms left. Sylvia had a lot of room, maybe she could stay with her, "ok

follow me its just down the street, and I don't think I got your name?" she looked at me after closing the red door, "Siri." as we walked down the

street she seemed happy as ever, she had long claws that looked even deadlier than mine, one hand of claws was covered in blood from her

attacking me, "why did you attack me, and then say sorry?" she looked down, "I just thought you were an other hunter, then after your hood came

off I saw it was you and I just felt bad, you're the closest thing to a friend I have right now." We walked in and I went straight to Al's room and

knocked on the door, "Al you wont believe this, I made friends with the witch!" He looked at my arm, "yeah sure looks like you did." He chuckled,

"oh really? come on out." Siri came into Al's sight,

"what are you doing! Do you know how much trouble we could get in, no you could get in. I have no part in this."

"Its ok she's friendly, she can remember her past life!"

"What? that's, amazing. Ok we just need to hide her from Hank and the others, she can stay in my room no one ever comes down here."

Siri was confused about what was going on, seeing that I didn't tell her about Al or Hank, or anyone. After she settled in I went back up to my room

just as Greg was getting up, "you're up early, what's up?" Greg said getting going to the fridge across the room, "oh nothing really, just um." Greg

cut me off, "look I saw you with the witch, you're lucky you didn't get your arms and legs chopped off." I immediately replied, "please, don't tell

anyone, she still has her memory!" Greg looked at me in confusion, "but that's impossible, how can you be sure that she wasn't lying?" Greg said

now sitting down in interest, "remember that girl that escaped?" Greg was silent for a moment, "yeah yeah now I remember Neil was there, and you

killed her right?" Sadly it was true, "yes, I did." There was shame in my words, "boy she must have been mad at you!" I managed to smile, "no she

took the whole being a zombie thing pretty good." Greg promised not to tell anyone, the only thing I could think about was what it would be like to

be human again, or to at least have memories of it. The day was still young so me and Greg went to go check on Siri and I introduced her to Greg,

then I noticed the duck tape on my arm that Siri scratched had came off, I quickly scaled the pipe and cleared the gap in between the buildings and

went straight through the window, "Owen? Are you here?" there was no answer, I decided to go through the pile of junk in search for the tape but I

didn't find anything, I dug deeper, I felt some thing like duck tape but I lost it trying to get a grip on it and ended up pulling up a few notes, it read

Entry 33. We just got back from picking up a lot of food and we used the old couch and dresser to barricade the stairs, none of them can get in.

Entry 40. We are still going well on food, I keep hearing strange noises outside in the night, and I think James is hiding something. Entry 57. Almost

out of food, we only have enough to last about another week, then its moving the barricade and going out again. Entry 58 Siri died, she was near

the window and some kind of huge zombie slammed on our barricade and she fell, I don't think she's dead though, she's a hard nut to crack. I

couldn't believe what I was reading this is where Siri held out, until Owen came along, then I herd a footstep behind me and then something sharp

in my back, I fell to the ground and herd a voice I recognized as Owen's, "sorry but you knew to much." What just happened? All I saw was black,

and I thought to myself, am I dead? Then I started to wake up. I opened my eyes and saw Al Greg and Siri, "Derrick wake up!" Was all I herd, then

I fell into darkness. "How do you think this happened?" I voice said, "I don't know, maybe he fell or something." another voice said, then I started

to see light, I struggled to get my eyes open and then I saw Al standing at the other side of the room, I looked over and found Siri laying on a bed,

I tried to speak and made a small noise and Al turned my way, "he's awake! Siri he's awake!" I looked towards Siri, "what happened?" I managed to

say, "we don't know we found you like this, I'm just glad you're ok." Then I remembered, Owen. I got up and told Siri about the notes I found and

she confirmed the information as true, then we went to find Owen. I made sure the coast was clear and me Siri and Al went up the pipe and I

jumped in the Owen's room, "he's not here." I said peeking out the window, Siri was able to climb into the room with her long claws, she looked

around and I found the notes, and then I found one more, it read Entry oh fuck it, I can't remember, a zombie jumped through the window and

killed Arnold and Conner, I just took Conner's journal and well just trying to find something to do before I die. I had to shoot them both and I

couldent bring myself to just throw the bodies out the window, so I put the bed sheets over them and left them in the room and now I need to get

under them myself and end my own life, its too late for me now that I'm bitten but if you're reading this for some reason then I guess (insert

motivational words here) ha ha oh I guess ill end this entry here. Siri read the note and looked over at the 3 bodies and slowly cam up to them and

pulled off the bad sheets, I let her say her last goodbyes to her desisted family, and there was no doubt who did it, Owen. Siri was furious at him,

she wanted to kill him, she wanted revenge, but then we herd Al scream and looked out and saw Hank, he looked at Siri, "well look who it is, I knew

Owen couldn't get the job done." Hank then grabbed Al and ran off with him in one hand almost choking him, "we need to save him!" Siri said

getting out of the window as I jumped across, we chased Hank out onto the street and he stopped and turned around with Al, "come one more step

closer and Al's guts will be all over the pavement!" we both stopped and had almost a stand off, until we herd a gunshot and hank was hit in his

chest and dropped Al he started to run and then a bullet found him right in his stomach exploding all over with commons swarming the bile that

exploded with him. Hank had ran seeing that Al was dead and he had no reason to be there anymore, but now I wanted revenge, attacking the

survivors straight on would be suicide so we chased after Hank into a dark room. The lights turned on and Hank was next to Owen, Siri was looking

at Owen like he was a chew toy she wanted to tear apart, Hank finally spoke, "isn't it nice having us all together? See we knew that the witches

aren't deadly, just misunderstood, we knew all about them and how they have their memories and we are making sure no one else knows, witches

aren't zombies they are monsters you should have left her crying." They both came at us, I went at Owen and Siri attacked Hank, Owen tried to lash

at me but I dodged him and cut at his face and looked over at Siri who could barley fight Hank, he hit her in her face and was about to crush her

but I jumped in and leaped out of a whole in the roof, "you can't run forever!" Hank yelled, we got back to my room and got Greg and told him

everything that happened, we left and started to go down the street, we were on our own now, Hank and Owen were still after us, I remembered

something that Owen said about a hunter nest underground not to far in the city so we walked, and we didn't look back...

Sorry this part took so long to come out, I've been having a bit of writers block
