It took me so long so it's a bit short.
Czeslaw was the first to wake up. When he heard the noses from the cars up ahead. He sat up Sarah was still leaning against his shoulder.
"Hey wake up," he said shaking her. She mumbled in her sleep, she sat up slowly rubbing one of her eyes. Then something loud and very gun like went off in the cars up ahead. The pair flinched. Sarah grabbed hold of Czeslaw's hand. Czes noticed that her hands were really warm and the skin was soft.
"What's happening?" she squeaked. Czeslaw looked at her and for some reason he didn't find her annoying, he still rolled his eyes.
"I don't know," he said as gruffly as a child's voice can get. "Let's go check it out!" then they were creeping through the dark, baggage car. Forward toward the front of the car and the passengers seating. Sarah stayed close to Czeslaw, when the reached the place were the first baggage car and the last passenger car met the two opened the door to look out on the passing world. Sarah clenched Czeslaw's shoulder. The two looked over the link between the two cars. It was thick enough to hold the two cars together and hold the weight of the ones behind it, it held the cars close enough together, but in Sarah's mind it was a tiny little rod over a mile of empty air and a very painful drop. Thick wires were connecting the two links together. And the ground moved at an incredible pace under their feet much faster than last night.
"Czeslaw is it supposed to be moving that fast." Sarah asked clinging.
"Nope," Czeslaw shrugged. "Hurry up, or I'll leave you." He said slipping over the thin rod with the expert movements of a young ninja.
"Wait," Sarah shrieked over the nose of the wind and grinding as she made her way over holding the link with both hands. Czeslaw waited for her on the other side. He really wasn't sure why he didn't just leave her or push her off the train. The image of her falling made him shudder unsure why, he decided to keep her close. He could always get rid of her later. He turned to the first passenger car door slowly opened it and peeked in around the door. "What's going on?" Sarah asked. At first Czeslaw wasn't sure till he saw the blood and the hand. He slipped into the car taking Sarah's hand and pulling her to the side.
"Stay here," he said. Then walked forward up to the hand.
"What's that?" Sarah asked. "Is that a hand?" Sarah was shaking in the corner. Czeslaw couldn't help but shake his head and mouth the words no. He didn't need her screaming.
"It's nothing stay quiet," he said sharply. It was a hand, a woman's hand, the woman was dark skinned. Her eyes were pulled open wide in shocked horror. Her hair and tie-dye dress was painted red. She was lying in a pool of it. There were three other passengers in the box all in the same condition, eyes as cold and dead as glass. Czeslaw pushed the hand into the box as subtly as he could. Then he shut the door and moved to the other boxes. They were the same different people all in various posses of death, blood covering the floor. None of the others were open, Czeslaw closed the doors and went back to Sarah. She was looking at him in fear. She may not no what was going on but she knew it was to quiet.
"Where are the other passengers?" she asked.
"Donno," Czeslaw said taking her hand roughly and pulling her forward. He watched her to make sure she didn't look into the any of the boxes.
