Bertrand had been searching the isolated city for the past hour before he saw something catch his eye. A whole group of infected people was crowding around a white van. Wondering what could have them all so fascinated, he perched himself on a windowsill not far from the scene, watching intently. The infected were smashing the glass and trying to get in.
Bertrand was about to leave when he saw a hand followed by a body and soon a girl was on top of the roof, followed by another and another. Then they pulled a boy up. Bertrand couldn't believe his luck he knew he could find at least one non-infected person, now just before him was 4. Wait was that another hand reaching up. 5 people! Then he saw the infected trying to bite them, they were trying to steal his food. No, in this circumstance, they might as well know vampires existed. He leaped from his perch and landed on the top of a sign, saying 'Flowers here'.
"Don't mean to be any trouble, but you look like you could use some help" he smirked at them. His voice made the group jump. Rain and Joseph was shooting the walkers that were trying to climb up. Ruben spun around. "What? How?"
"Questions later, do you want help or not?"
"We want it, but how?"
"Questions later" and he landed on the van, grabbed Ruben and flew up to the rooftop. Ruben was too shocked to speak. "Be right back" He flew down and hauled them up one by one. Bertrand went to grab Joseph but Jamie screamed, a walker had his ankle and he was pulling him out of the window, the others desperately trying to get there share. Bertrand grabbed Jamie in a matter of seconds and threw him onto the rooftop. Jamie was whimpering in fear as he lay on the floor. Bertrand got back down. "Get away from me; I don't know what you are but your one of the devils creations."
"Just trying to help" Bertrand smiled. Joseph was slowly backing up. "Come with me, I will save you."
"No"
Joseph had reached the edge of the van. Bertrand went to move forward to save him, whether he liked or not. Joseph backed up and toppled over the edge, where he was instantly ripped apart. "Oh well, you can't have them all" Bertrand thought. He returned to the rooftop, where everyone was staring at him. Jamie sat up. "Where's Joseph?" Bertrand hung his head.
"I couldn't save him" Jamie's face crumbled and he burst out crying, he buried his head in his knees. Rain went over to him and sat down; she slowly patted him on the shoulder and made hushing noises, like calming a crying baby to sleep. The rest of the group sat in silence, morning Joseph in their own way. Not only had they lost Joseph that day, they had lost Jamie as well.
Vlad was flying towards the city. Hopefully any signs of Bertrand would mean he could get back to the castle, he knew he had given a warning but he was still worried about the breather being in the same place as 12 hungry vampires. Bertrand was an idiot if he thought that he would be able to find any non-infected people out here. When he got to the city, he could hear moans like people in agony. Vlad flew round a corner and saw loads of 'the infected' crowding most the street and a white van parked in the middle of the road with 'the infected' surrounding it. That wasn't the strangest thing, he smelt something, above all the decay and death, and he smelt, only faintly, breathers.
