WARM HEARTS.
Thanks for all the reviews, they mean a lot, seriously they motivate me to post more. If I don't get any then... well I might not post another chapter.
Kidding. Here's chapter 7.
Chapter 7. Rachel.
The next couple of days were surprisingly fun. We rode in the Prius (Which I was getting better at driving). We ate in the food court. We messed around with the old stuff in my plane and I was actually surprised at how much Percy trusted me.
He slept without fear of me eating him, he would sit close to me, (Closer than Thalia). Anyway this night in particular I was seated in the cockpit of the plane. Percy was asleep curled up in his cocoon of blankets on the floor.
Over the past few days. Besides having fun with Percy I have also been sneaking away to take small nibbles of Rachel's brain. To find out more about the boy with the Green eyes.
Now all that's left of the brain is a small bite sized chunk. It isn't pink any more, its kinda a salmon colour. Even so it's the last I will have of Rachel's brain. Come on. You better give me something good Dare.
Popping the piece into my mouth I close my eyes as the memory starts.
This time it's foggy, and I am surrounded by mist. I quickly learned that swatting it away only makes it come back even thicker, so I am momentarily blinded.
But as soon as it dissipates, I see that I am stood in a room. The walls are cracked, and the ceiling looks like mouldy cheese. Old plywood shelves are every were, filled with old pill bottles and proscriptions that nobody will ever pick up.
It's a Pharmacy. Well what's left of a Pharmacy. Wait a second...this is were I met Percy. I see them. The Living that were in Percy's group... before they were eaten.
"Rachel". Percy starts.
"What!". She snapped her head up from a shelf of near bye baby supplies.
"Can we find another place...". He sifted his feet. "it's creepy here".
Rachel rolled her eyes, sending Percy a sharp glare and stuffing a pack of diaper's into her bag. "The city needs medical supplies, you know this!".
"But Rach...".
"But nothing! Stop being a baby and man up already". Rachel snapped.
"Um". Spoke the blonde scared boy who survived the attack. "I agree with Percy... I mean we did hear a few reports about Corpses in this sector...".
"NO! Don't you guys get it!". She hissed. "We have a duty to our city! People need these supplies both of you grow up nothings gonna happen".
Percy gave her a truly terrified look. "Good Lord Rach you sound like my Father!". Luke sniggered under his breath at his friends words.
"Your dad's a good man Percy, brave and honourable, you should start acting like him too". Rachel replied in a low, flat voice.
Percy mumbled a few choice words under his breath. I caught a few but I will not repeat them because children could be reading this.
Rachel's bright green eyes flashed. "What did you say..."
She was silenced by a crash from the other room. The group all jumped a meter into the air, and locked their guns as second habit.
"That does not sound good". Luke gulped. "Rach lets bail". Percy said locking his gun. Rachel brushed this off but kept her hand on the barrel of her gun. "It's nothing keep working".
A louder crash drowned out her words. The echo ringed of the rotted white walls. It was then that it hit me. I was about to relive Rachels last moments. "What is this! I don't want to see your pointless bloody death Dare!".
It all freezes. Percy , Luke and the others are all motionless statues. "Death isn't pointless Corpse! Watch and you'll see".
"Shut up and show me something of importance!". I growled. The familiar rage filled me. It was the same as when I was hungry.
"Sorry corpse but this is all your getting. Time to see what us Living see you Dead like." Rachel smiled almost nicely, and pulled her rifle off her shoulder.
It all unfroze.
"Rachel what was that?" Percy asked. His voice was so terrified, so scared. Why was he so scared?
Rachel did not answer. She dropped her gun to the side, obviously seeing something the group didn't.
She flew over to Percy and dragged him to the ground. "Rachel what are you doing?" Percy spluttered.
"I have to save you! I have to save you!" Rachel whispered almost to herself.
"Rach...?" Percy looks purely terrified.
She looked up and their green eyes met. His bright sea green with her emerald. "Please don't die" She muttered.
Their perfect romantic moment was ruined by the sound of moaning and groaning. The sound was straight out of a horror movie. What horrible creatures were making those noises?
Breaking the ringing silence, the door smashed open, inside scrambled the most terrifying pack of beasts I have ever seen. Me, Thalia and the other Dead.
And we were horrifying. Grey skin, rotting smell, tattered blood stained clothes, and hungry feral eyes. We all snap our teeth, and some drool some black drool.
The Living scream. Rachel turns her back to us (a brave choice), and continues to try and protect Percy. The Dead regard the Living for a moment before their expressions change from blank and emotionless, to rage filled and primal hunger fills our eyes.
We pounce at the Living.
I see us. Me and Thalia. I look glum and depressed. Thalia on the other hand who normally is so chilled and cool, the go with the flow type of person, is just as monster like as the others. She hissed like a jungle cat and pounced at a girl in all silver clothing and a silver circlet on her head, biting into the girls arm and killed the girl instantly.
The others are ripping into their meals, every so often a Zombie would be shot, only for another to finish its meal for them...
sorry guys in a hurry, will finish this chap off when I can. Please forgive any grammar and spelling issues, and review.
