I yanked my hand out C's chest bringing her heart out with me. Her body dropped to the ground like the dead weight she now was. I kicked her corpse with a frown as I tightened my grip on her still beating heart. "Why did you have to follow C? Man, you're so dumb. This wasn't part of the plan." I heaved a sigh. I put the heart in my mouth so I could pick up C to bring her back to Nathan. The whole way I was grumbling not liking this whole situation, but you know you have to do what you got to do. Not only that but how the hell was I suppose to cover up a back full of blood cause that's what I got right now! When I got back to the clearing I smelled fresh dirt, so he's digging the graves already-wait where did he get the- nope you know I don't care.
"I had a Tank dig the hole, we just have to fill it." I dumped C's body in the hole, the same one with Len's. It's the least we could do to C. I took the heart out of my mouth to shove it on Nathan's chest. "If you don't eat this I'm telling everyone you're Nathan Bester." I felt the glare but he took the heart to start eating it. "I heart you." I snorted, "Get it pffftt ok I'll stop talking now." I felt a slap on the head, I bared my teeth at Nathan."How do we explain two dead bodies?!" He growled out harshly. Oh I haven't thought about that.
"You told me to get her!"
"Not to kill her!"
"Well my bad then!"
"This isn't a "my bad" situation Victoria! We only planned to kill Lenard not Cristina, she was suppose to die later by David!"
"Well what do you want me to do about it! She found out!"
"I want you to think of something to cover this." He pointed to the grave. He sent me to a tree to sit down and think of a cover up while he put the dirt in the grave. What did he want me to do?! Capture her? Then what? Even if we did capture her she was going to tell everyone which would lead to them believe Tiff and then that would lead to us being killed or captured. I don't even want to think of what they would do to us if we got caught. I gave a raspy sigh, doing all this killing for M is hard work. According to Nathan M's completion progress would be only 43% when he finds out that C and Len are dead. That still isn't enough for the plans we have for him sadly, only if he would do it without the push we're giving him we wouldn't be doing what we do.
It's no doubt that if they found out we would be kill even if we explained it to them, humans have a simple mind and when one of their friends start killing everyone they don't care what the reason is they'll just kill the threat. Even if the "threat" is actally helping them.
"Have you thought of a cover up yet?" I looked up to hear Nathan in front of me. Did he fill the hole already? "You finished?" He growled a yes then repeated the question he perversely said. "Of course that's Childs play." I put the word "childs play" in a weird accent of the human language. "Well?"
"Oh you mean tell you know?"
"Duh, I'm not going to let you tell them the cover up and then have it be something stupid." I puckered out my bottom lip.
"Since we didn't know that Cristina was watching us that means um that ah her um ah...w-w-what's it called ah infection process picked up so we didn't smell her you know. We can say that she was in the "urges" stage and attacked Len. He ran into these woods with Cristina chasing him, we can say that we were hunting when ...we heard Len's screams or something. When we checked it out Cristina was munching on Len's dead body and um ah she um we ah killed her because she was long gone and was hostile. Good?" He was quite for a few mintures but he said that it was good enough. "As usual follow my lead."
"Why do I get all the spying and killing work, I mean I don't mind I like doing both it's just you know."
"Cause I'm the smart one."
"Ah, right. I keep forgetting that."
"But I still love you."
"You better."
"You...you don't think she will come back right?" Just the thought of a zombie C eating on her crush inside a dirt deathtrap made my non beating heart ache.
"You killed her when she was human, so no the infection didn't trun her completely so the immortal effect didn't effect her."
Before we went back to the mall Nathan said that we have a conference to make a few miles into the city with the other special infected. I told him if we keep leaving for hours on end any longer that the team might question it espcally with the new deaths. Though we may be out for hours it was necessary. The group would think that we were hunting but we were actally making alliences in this state and sending troops over to the main base, which is the base we are heading to. But today we have a confrence with the remaining special infected to convince them to come down and disscus future actions with the others that are there. You know, big kids stuff.
"Want to break the news then go to the conference." I growled over to Nathan, we were on the street that leads to the mall so I wanted to know what the plan is. I could hear Jacob making his way in the mall to wake the others, which would mean that it's dawn. How long did we take? "Unforchantly we have to, we'll be cutting it close to the conference but we need to break the news so the orginal plan goes smoothly." He growled back as we entered the mall. I was wondering about the plan, will it go smoothly after I killed C? Her time wasn't up and I did feel bad for killing her. It's not like we want to kill our friends we feel terrible when their time is up, but we think, we tell ourselfs that it's for the better. That they are helping in saving the world from The Dome.
Before we opened the door Nathan reminded me to act depressed, I nodded giving him the OK to open the door. When we opened it I smelled canned fruits and the sound of water being swallowed. We both slowly made our way to the group dragging out hands slighly on the ground. I heard Jacob telling everyone that our next few week stop will not be until a few states away. Tiff was trying to get the group to listen to her as she ran her mouth about Nathan and I being evil. David and Tyler were quite as they munched on some canned peaches and M was telling Tiff to shut up and die. Nathan sat down next to Ash who was sitting on a bed behind the group listening, I sat down on the other side of her.
"Where were you two? Another meeting?" Ash knew of our conferences and recruiting but we left her in the dark about our orginal plan because of reasons you already know. A Witch in such a plan would lead to destruction and total chaos. "Yes, we were coming back when we saw Cristina and Lenard." Nathan's growl was low and soft droning out his growl to show he was sad."What happened?" Ash asked in human to get everyone to listen which they did, they all stopped what they did to turn with curious eyes toward us. Nathan kept quite so I took that as a sign for me to add in. "It's Len and C..." I heard the heart rates of everyone pick up, C's team more then anyone, well Tiff's didn't pick up cause she don't care.
"What happened to Cristina?!" Jacob stood up ready to leave at the sign of danger, too bad she dead already. Again oops." Tiff asked about Len but I ingored her. Nathan took lead so I could follow his lead like planned we spoke human so he could start telling the bad news. "We have some bad news." Jacob walked over to Nathan grabbed him by his hoodie and pulled him to to meet his face, Nathan made sure to keep his hood down to cover his face. "What. Happened." Not wanting Jacob to hurt Nathan I said, "She killed Len." I didn't know what kind of cover Nathan want's so by saying this it would take the fire off him and onto me so he can set the tone.
Jacob's and M's heart skipped a beat making me feel bad. Jacob let go of Nathan to step bad in what I believe is shock? "What? Why I thought they were hitting it off?" Tyler said worried laced in his voice. "That fucking bitch killed my man?!" Tiff was out and about throwing pillows and flipping mattresses in utter rage. "I never trusted him, he probably deserved it." David huffed crossing his arms, Ash on the other hand gasped putting her hand to her face being careful to not harm herself or the surrounding people.
"What happened? C wouldn't kill Len she freaken shipped herself with him! She even drew it!"Well M was taking this lightly, I thought he would freak out or something. I actally thought the whole group would freak out but this is Len we're talking about so I'm just wondering how they gonna act when we tell them C died. Nathan fixed his hoodie as he told the group the cover. "Victoria and I were our hunting in the woods not too far from here when we heard Len's voice yelling Cristina's name. We checked it out but by the time we found them we found Cristina cutting Lenord open and eating his insides. When she saw us she took off, but unforchantly we lost her, I'm sorry."
C's team was too shocked to say anything but David was the one along with Tiff to ramble his mouth that again caused an uproar. Seems best friend is getting worse.
"I knew she was bad news when she got scratched by that Witch! We should of killed her or kick her out of the group!" Jacob ended up punching David in the face, Ash broke it up before it got ugly.
"Don't you dare look down on any of my comrades!"
"Jacob please enough. David please come with me so we can stop the bleeding." Ash took David away to make sure that he won't start anything else. Tyler went with David and Ash to make sure that he won't start anything with her.
"How come you guys didn't smell her or something? Wify don't you have like a really good nose?" M asked. I heard him clear his thoat does that mean he wants to cry or is he actally clearing his throat? "Because she wanted that whore to die! I'm telling you they are lying they probably killed her!"
"Tiff go in the corner." Jacob pointed to the corner his voice held a certain thing that made no room for refusal.
"Excuse me?! I'm trying to be nice and help you-"
"Now you freckle face bitch." Pfftt that's a good one Jacey! I could just picture the face that bitch is giving. I wanted to burst out laugh when I actally heard her get up and leave to a corner of the store, but this is suppose to be a heartbreaking situation so I must keep my cool yet I couldn't help but have the corner of my lip twich upwards.
"Marcelo, it's because she was at the point in her "process" that her human smell dissappears. She didn't smell like a human or a zombie she didn't smell like anything so even with my top notch nose I can't even smell her." They stayed quite, I only hope that they bought the lie. "Maybe we can go after her?" Oh man don't do this to me, Jacob's in denial.
"Oh Jacey." M's voice held nothing but pity. At least he accpeted it, sad as he may be but he's in denial. I pityed Jacob, with his backround and the promise he made with himself it just made me pity him even more. I shifted toward Nathan wanting to be close with someone right now.
"She could be like you guy's."
"Jacob please." M's voice cracked. He's going to cry, Jacob please just stop.
"She could be different."
"Jacob please stop." I can just smell the oncoming tears, well this is making me uncomfotable.
"Can't try and find her, we can talk it out! W-where did she go?" M surprised me when he got up and slapped Jacey. M held Jacey's shoulders and sobbed, "Knock it off you w-whore! You're suppose to lead this team not c-cry! T-that's my job!" M started to cry so he let go of Jacey to cry into my shoulder. "I'm sorry, I need fresh air." Jacob left the store I heard Ash tell David to just head to bed because "You need to rest, clear your head a bit". That's Ash's nice way of saying you are either annoying her or pissing her off so fuck off. I felt a tug on my cheek, swatting away Nathan's hand I looked down on a hiccuping Marcelo on my shoulder.
"You ok?"
"What do you think?!"
"Everything will work out. It might be hard now and things might get worse but just remember no matter what happens things will get better. Nathan and I will always be on your side no matter what."
"Really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"Yes."
"...Would I lie about this?"
"...Yes."
"I'm not lying!"
"You sure?"
"I'm one hundred percent sure!"
"...You think they're happy?"
"Who?"
"Daniel, Lenord...Cristina."
"I'm sure where ever they are, they are happy."
"They lied to me...Daniel and Crisitna."
"Lied about what?"
"They promised that they wouldn't die on me. Do you think we're going to die?"
"...I don't know Marcelo...I don't know but I'll protect you. I'll be the best damn knight there eva was." I heard him chuckle, that made me smile. I got him to smile, he seems to be less sad now.
"That means you're the princess." Nathan butted in in his human voice. He even leaned in close so he could say it. Marcelo said that he was the sexyiest princess there eva was." As he copied my saying I laughed at his answer. "What's that make you Nathan? Huh?" I smirked cause there is no way for him make is smart ass perv comment. "Victoria darling, I would be the one commanding you, my dear knight."
"Get out."
"But darling."
"Get out."
"I'll be waiting." He blew a kiss before he walked out the door, I heard that asshole laughing all the way down the escalator. Tyler came over asking if everyone was alright, it was then I transferred a depressed princess to his Jester. Ash came over asking where the bag of human flesh was, directing her to her bed I told her it was just under the bed. "Where are you going?" Tyler asked. "I'm a busy person Tyler I got places to go and people to meet. Nathan and I will be back before we leave, if not just wait ok?"
When we say a conference we mean a actal conference with a office building and a real conference room. The room had one glass wall to look outside, we close the shades so no one on the outside would bother us. The door had a glass wall also but sadly there was no shads to close for that. The room was spacious with a wooden oval table and black leather swivel chairs. Nathan took one end of the table while I sat to the left of him. our weapons specialist was a Hunter who was infront of me and to the right of Nathan. Next to him was another Hunter who was our trusted handy man, he went everywhere when we do these sort of things. Next to me was a Boomer who handled the transportation of...livestock. When I say livestock I mean Z members and occional humans.
Down on the other side of the table supporting the states special infected revolotion group was a Tank. To his left was a spitter that was his right hand man and to his right was a Witch who was handling everything in this area. Next to the Witch and the Spitter was twin Smokers who was in charge of all thier soilders.
"As I heard you want us to help you, but what's in it for us?" The Tank snorted. Nathank folded his hands and strightened his back like a true leader. "Indeed we do aquire your help and a we have a weapon that might come of intrest to you. Of course it is what every one of us wants." This got the Tank's attechion, he put his big meaty hands on the table. "You mean you possess-"
"Yes." The Spitter butted in saying that I could be lying, that there was no solid proof of what he offer. The Witch agreed saying that she would of been alerted of such a thing came into her part of the city.
"I thought you would think of me as a lier, this is why I have Victoria here." He gestured to me, my cue. "I have aquired a flesh sample." I placed the sample on the table, uncapping it I slid it down to them. "Now if you would please take a wiff of it and tell me what you smell." They did as I asked telling me it smells of nothing. "Exactaly. Now we are still in the process if what we believe is ture but we are 90% sure that this is the one." They were not happy of the ten percent of uncertanity. Our handy man was quick with his growls as he got the others back on the right track to come with us.
"I am confused as to why you have such a special infected here? I have never seen a girl Hunter." The Tank gestered toward me, here we go again. I cleared my throat to answer him even though he wasn't talking to me. "I am more senstive with my sences then those of other Hunter's, my Hunter screech also has a power effect to it. I'm here because I am the key to get close with the humans, manitulation is my specality." I gave a sweet smile causing the Tank to rumble in laughter. "That you are, how intresting. Well Nathan I believe we were talking about a partnership?" Nathan rubbed my leg as he smiled, "That we are, now I was think we..."
