Chapter 9
Justin sprang forward, smashing the Zombie's face in using the butt of the gun. "Get off my little sister you foul smelling piece of shit!" he snarled and kicked one in the face. Marissa grabbed the knife she had dropped in the struggle. She grabbed it and swung around, catching another infected. She tripped over something as she backed away. The Ammo! She picked it up and shoved it in her jeans pocket. "Justin! The window!" She screamed running for the window, equipped with a rope that Kira used for sneaking out. She slid down the rope, soon followed by her brother. An onslaught of zombies began falling from the window. "We need to get to higher ground before it gets to dark to see!" Justin said scanning the sky to see how much light they had left.
Marissa ran as fast as she could. Huffing and breathing harder and harder. Justin began to slow down, blood beginning to seep from a new gash. "What happened!" Marissa said doubling back to her brother. "One of the damn things bit me... again.." He said, his tone was somber, as they both remembered Kira's words. "If anyone gets bit, abandon them immediately, death will soon take them and they will turn on you. It will be that much harder to kill them in the end. " Marissa began to sob. "I'm not leaving you." She cried, hugging her older brother. "You have to.." He said looking into her bright blue eyes. "No!" She protested, "if you die, then I do to!"
"Marissa!" Justin growled. He suddenly stiffened and looked around. "What are you-" she said before getting shut up by a hand covering her mouth. "Shh!" Justin said. Gun shots echoed in the distance, followed by battle cries. A dogs howl intercepted it all. That was no normal howl. This one was melodious, like a choir of bird were singing it. It was low though, like a wolf. "Could that be..." Marissa asked removing her brothers hand. "Go!" a male voice yelled. It was faint, but definitely a guy. "Survivors!" Justin said smiling. He ripped off a piece of his jacket and bound the wounds. "Come on! We'll be saved!" He said nearly sprinting towards the scene.
Marissa soon caught up, running faster then ever at the chance to see her best friend again. Soon enough they found the small group, but stayed away. There were new people, not just Kira. Two men and a new woman were now accompanying their white haired friend. "So, satisfied I'm on your side now?" A tall man asked. He had to be no more than twenty. Marissa flinched as he flicked a sword, still holding the hilt, sending crimson droplets soaring through the faint light. "Yea.. it doesn't mean we have to trust you though." the shorter brunette replied. "Oh forget about it!" Kira growled. "he's on our side, be glad! Don't complain! Or would you rather be shuffling around, as a brainless piece of-" She yelled before noticing a flicker of movement. Her green eyes shifted over to where Justin and Marissa were.
Marissa gave up and walked out with her hands in the air. "Stop! Were friends!" she said in her high voice. "Please!" Justin said running out as the brunette drew out a gun, followed by the female. "No... way.." Kira said staring in disbelief. "Who are they." The brunette said gun still poised. "I'm Marissa!" She said jumping up in down. Oh god.. she wants to hug Kira. Justin thought looking at his bouncy sibling. "You?" the man asked. He seemed to be trembling somewhat. "Justin." He answered. "Kira get these guys off us." Justin said looking at the gun again. The female walked over and lowered his gun. "I'm Leon." The man said still wary. "Yay!" Marissa yelled before nearly tackling Kira in a full on hug. "Funny, we used to have a brother named Leon." Justin said before adding "He's dead." and walking over to Kira.
Bron raced down with Alissa clinging to his back. "Hey boy, Hey kiddo." Justin said reaching down to pet the halfbreed. "Hey Wolfie." Justin said addressing Kira. He called her "Wolfie" because she always moved like she was hunting, and had that odd, cyan stare. "Hound-dog" Kira answered smiling, trying to pry herself from Marissa's grip. "I'm Claire." she said walking up. "Dante." The tall man called from across the area. He seemed to be arguing with Leon.
(okay.. short and dry I know. I just did it. Be happy. Like Yoshi. Lol Amber would know, look to her if you want an explanation.)
