Victoria woke up, opened her eyes slowly, she looked around the room. The drapes were open, same with the window. She got out of the bed, walked over to the computer to check the time. On the screen, the list of rescue stations was still up. Many had crosses next to the name. She looked down and got to Upper Hutt College – it, also had a cross.

"Shit" she said

She looked around, Zach's shirt was gone, his dressing table drawers were open and the clothes were hanging off the sides.

"Zach?"

She opened the door, walked out into the hallway. Rubbing her face.

"Blood"

The blood ran in a trail down the hall into another room, she followed it, scared but at the same time very interested.

"Zach?" she asked again

"Here, babe" came Zach's voice.

"What happened?" she asked

"Oh – one of them got in a while ago – I got it, it was trying to get you"

"Where are you?" she asked

"In the bathroom, I needed to clean up"

"Why, did you get bitten?"

"No, scratched, I don't think it matters though"

"How deep?" she asked

"Not very, only the surface" Zach replied

"Did you bleed?"

"Yeah, I tiny bit"

A single, solitary tear ran down her face. She knew what that meant, she didn't know about him though. Zach came through the door, saw her face.

"What's wrong?" Zach asked, "Seriously – I don't think it will matter – I don't think I'll – turn"

"But what if you do – what am I supposed to do?" she sobbed

"Your tough – but – come on – Let's be positive, this is not the time to be sad. We've got to keep our spirits up," Zach said trying to cheer her up.

"Okay"

"Oh – yeah – breakfast's ready" Zach said quickly "Lucky that thing didn't get too close to poison our food" Zach laughed

"But how did that Zombie get in, I mean, the sun –"

"I have no idea, must have snuck in while I was cooking" Zach said "But – guess what"

"What?" she asked

"It was Sarah"

"Your sister?"

"Yeah"

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be –" Zach said quickly trying to end that part of the conversation but couldn't Zach continued, she needed to hear his theory. "I think she must have came looking for us – to help her you see – and – she must have finally turned when she got upstairs, I'm surprised you didn't wake up."

"No, I must have been in a deep sleep"

"Let's go and get breakfast"

"Okay"

Zach walked over to her, held her hand and lead her downstairs to the breakfast. Pancakes, toast, coffee, everything you could think of was here.

"Don't mind if we have an extra visitor or two do you?" Zach asked
