Chapter 10
Edward wasn't sure if he really wanted to let her know the truth about what was going on. He was in some kind of trouble the path he took was full of these zombie creatures. He knew that she would be a little worried about him and that even though he was immune to these things he still didn't want to get bit by these things. It was really painful and he knew this from experience, so he decided to come up with some kind of truth with a little white lie in there somewhere. So all that he could come up was "yeah, things are alright here I'm guessing. This road isn't the best though, you need to find a different way and I don't know how bad it is where you are but I know it's not the best here." she knew there was something wrong with the tone in his voice. She just wanted to make sure he was okay and she wanted to see her love again. She decided that the best thing might be just looking at a map but if she did then a crowd could be drawn and thats the last thing she wanted to do but then again she wanted to get a way to get there. There wasn't a lot of options of what she could do either she find a way or she just give up. She turned to Faith who was sitting there and she didn't know what to say. Bella turned to her and said "Pass me the map thats right there. I wanna see something" Faith handed her the map without any questions asked or without saying anything. Bella wanted to look at the map but she noticed that there was a little girl banging on the back window, she knew that the girl was one of them because she had to do was look at her eyes and the little girl's eyes were white and well the way she looked. The little girl was full of bite marks and she was covered in the blood and her clothes were just like rags just covering her a little bit. Bella couldn't believe it but then again she had to pull herself together and well that's just what she did. She looked at her phone and she decided to try and convince Edward everything was okay "well the only thing I can come up with is meet me at route eighty-five. There shouldn't be a lot of zombies out there I'm guessing. I love you and well I wanna see you there, so be there in about thirty minutes, we should be there by then." she just hanged up the phone.
Faith was a little worried she knew that eighty-five route wasn't the best place to go. That's where the news said it started but then again she could be wrong, but she decided that Bella should know the truth "Bell, thats not the best way. There are going to be zombies there. Trust me on this one please." she wasn't really expecting Bella to really rely on her sources but then again she could be proven wrong. Bella was a little confused they always said when in trouble take that route because there wasn't a lot of houses and well there wasn't really on there just like one or two stores and also there was family on that road. She knew there was some truth to this always because she just learned that sometimes very little houses could mean lots more of these zombies things. She decided to come up with a different solution. She put the car in park and well she decided to come up with a different way "okay are you sure? because if I change the path this time, it's going to be harder to get there and also it's going to be dark. I'm not to sure what's going to happen in the dark and I don't want to find out. To be real honest with you I'm really scared of these things and I'm not to sure if it shows or not but these things scare the heck out of me." Faith understood. She knew that everything was a little more scary at night and well there wasn't anything anyone could do about it well there was one person but you could tell he really wasn't answering anyone's prayers. She didn't really want to get Bella in a mood where she wasn't talking anymore but she knew a few things "yeah at night they are really worst then anything else, I've seen them and well they are a lot more scary and well I want to let you know one thing just don't look at them at night." she wasn't sure if the advice would stick but she did try. Bella knew that she was just trying to help and honestly it was working but she knew that Edward was already going to the meeting place and she would do the same she put the car back in drive and started driving there and she just wanted to let this all be a dream but she knew she wasn't going to wake up with a happy ending it was a dream that would never be ending because she couldn't just wake up. Faith understood what she was doing and even though she didn't agree with it she wasn't going to say anything.
They both were just looking out the window and couldn't really except how many of these zombies there was. Bella thought there was something wrong with these because they were walking around really slow as if you could walk right besides them and they wouldn't attack. Yet the other ones that they were near were moving really fast and they looked really dangerous, there wasn't a real explanation for this all but there must be one Bella kept thinking. Faith was a little confused too she didn't understand how their speed changed depending on where they were. She decided to ask Bella if she knew what was going on but then she changed her mind because she was looking behind her and she noticed that one of the zombies was trying to get in the door was unlocked. She turned and she put half her body in the back and half in the front trying to lock the door but she couldn't. It wouldn't lock when she tried to lock it, it just wasn't locking and well Faith was getting a little panic because it was going to get in and who knows the damage it could do. Just then Bella hit a zombie in the road and the car swung to the left and the door slapped shut and the lock end up locking the right way. Bella let one scream out because she thought she just killed a person. She was about to open the door and then Faith grabbed her hand "no, don't!" Bella couldn't believe that she was going to have this conversation "Are you fucking crazy? I just hit someone and well I want to make sure they are okay!" she was a little pissed and a little scared at the same time. She was about to open the door and she saw that zombie got up and it let one scream out and she couldn't believe it that it got up. She put the car in reverse so fast that she almost broke her hand. She turned the car around and she put it in drive and started driving.
As she was driving, a thousand thoughts were going through her mind. She wasn't driving right so she thought she could always give the wheel to Faith. She drove herself to her place and also she was able to drive. She looked at Faith but by this time Faith wasn't looking that good. She looked really sick, Faith was holding her stomach as if she was in a lot pain, she turned to Bella "I'm not feeling that well" Bella could tell that. She slowed down the car and parked it on the side of the road, thank god there weren't any zombies on the side of the road. It seems that they found a road where there weren't any there just trees and lots of the free road. When Bella went to go and touch Faith forehead, Faith screamed out in pain as if she really touched her body when she just went to reach out to try and see if she had a fever. Bella noticed that her stomach was moving as something was in there she was a little scared to ask but she had to, just in case she was pregnant. She looked at Faith as if she was in a little disbelief she asked "Are you pregnant?" Faith didn't know what to answer. She looked at Bella as if she knew what she was talking about but just didn't want to answer it. She did after a while and she looked liek she was really scared "no, I shouldn't be. I only had sex once in my life time and it was with a guy name Jacob. We hooked up just once and I thought it was nothing." Bella face grew with anger. She couldn't believe that this was the truth she didn't want to ask any more questions because she didn't like the answer she got but she knew that there had to be more to what she was saying. She turned to her and just said it without thinking "you know something? Jacob is a jerk and I don't understand why you would go sleeping around with him? I know its none of my business and honestly you're pregnant with his kid. Does he even know?" she didn't know what else to say, she had to keep some of words to herself or else she would be really rude about it even though she
had a reason to be mad about it. Faith didn't know what to reply because she knew that she was right and she should have really thought but then again it was her life and she could do what she wanted and there was no one was going to change her point of view. She just turned to her and with a rude tone in her voice "okay thanks! I know it was pretty stupid of me to sleep with him but honestly why do you have to get pissed off? You act like your perfect but you're not. If you don't want to drive me anywhere just let me know. I'll get out right here and I don't care about those things. I'll be fine just you watch and see". Bella knew she was kind of harsh and she didn't mean to be it's just the way it came out and well she couldn't just leave her there with those creatures. She decided that the best thing would be just to let her know the truth about everything and hope that she would understand or else it wouldn't be the best thing out there. She turned and grabbed her cell phone and wanted to call Jacob and get him to the county place but knew it was better if he didn't know. She looked at Faith and with a troubled voice as if she was having a hard to find the words to really explain what was going on "I know I'm a bitch at times. You have to understand one thing about this all. It's been really hard on everyone and well Jacob is one of the worst people to get with and well I'm just saying this because lately well since I gotten to know you I act like you're my sister and well we are sister til the end of this all. I just want to make sure everything is alright with you and the baby." she wasn't sure if this was the best thing to say but it was better then not saying anything at all. Faith knew what she was saying was the truth and well it really meant a lot to her to say something like that, considering she never heard someone say that before to her and really mean it. She thought to herself and wanted to say so much but couldn't "Can we just get to that country place of yours? I don't know when this thing is going to come out of me" she didn't know what was happening all she knew was there was a baby in her and she wanted it to get out of her before anything else. Bella turned to her and said "yeah sure, let's go". She started the car back up and she put it back in drive and started driving.
As she was getting closer to the meeting spot, she noticed Edward in his car. She was so happy to see him and well she missed her sweetie. She got closer to him and she noticed Jacob's car coming closer and closer. She didn't want anything to happen between them all because all she wanted to do was knock him out for doing this whole thing. She acted like everything was fine to Faith but she knew there was something happening and something was going to happen that she couldn't control. She got a little closer to Edward's car and she started to see more zombies. They weren't behind Edward or anything just behind Jacob's car. As if he was a ringleader. She didn't know what to think but knew there were something going on that couldn't be explained that well. She got a lot closer to Edward and she picked up her cell and called him, he picked up "yeah?" she didn't know what to tell him about the zombies behind Jacob's car but then again she needed to tell him. She was pretty much confused about the whole thing "I don't know what's going. But they are right behind Jacob's car and honestly they are moving like an army". He knew that this was too good to be true, he looked behind him and they were there marching like they were in the army. He knew he had to do something about it but there were two cars, he needed them all to be in one car. He needed her to switch into his car to pull of his plan and go to the country place half way to his parents and from there they could go there. He wanted the night pass but he didn't want to be on the road because it would be really difficulty to get anywhere in the dark with these things. So he made a plan really fast "look we need to switch into my car. We can really do it really fast or I drive your car, it's the only way". She didn't really care which plan happened but she knew she had to make up her mind fast "well how much stuff do you have? I have like ten bags I think all you got is two" he knew this was true so he decided that he would drive her car "okay, I got two put Faith in the back and put the two extra bags with her and let me drive. We can only take about about two minutes to make the switch, alright?" she didn't know if they could do but she also had some confidence in Edward or else he wouldn't be making up a plan that he couldn't follow. She agreed "yeah sure, why don't we back travel there was an open road back there. You can hide your car if you want to". He agreed and this would be best because he was a faster runner and he was faster then she was. He grabbed the two bags and put the in the front sit "yeah sure, let's go meet me there in two.". She started speeding and ended up there before he got there.
She told Faith to go and sit in back with the cat, and she explained to her what was happening and that's when Faith said it "Jacob, doesn't have the zombies behind him. They are pushing his car, they want him inside. Save him please! Before they attack him." Bella couldn't believe what she just heard but she didn't have time to go and see Jacob. She grabbed the bags and put them in the back and went to sit in the passenger sit and Edward got there and parked his car and then got into the car really fast. He only had a few seconds before the zombies were on his track, they were already ready to tip the car. It was time for them to take but then again Bella wanted to save Jacob, she didn't know if this was a trap or not. She went to turn and look in the back sit but Faith had fallen asleep.
