Chapter four
Alice looked at Maria. She wanted to tell her that her parents were dead but the words wouldn't come out of the woman's mouth. She looked at the little girl again. This was Rain and JD's daughter, Alice hesitated. It wasn't long before she found the words to say.
"I'll have to show you" Alice sighed.
Maria nodded. Alice touched the seven-year-old's head.
"Come on before those things come back" Alice said as she held Maria's hand and started for a door that hadn't been blocked of already.
"My daddy called them zombies when he told me a story about them when I was six, then mommy yelled at him." Maria giggled.
"They must have had a pretty good relationship." Alice thought and smiled.
"It was funny." Maria said.
The little girl had a flashback.
Six year old Maria was sitting on the floor still in her Halloween costume, her candy bag was to the side and she was eating a Twix bar. Across from her was her dad sitting on a chair.
"Wanna hear a scary story?" He asked mysteriously and smiled.
Maria's eyes brightened and she nodded.
"Are you sure?"
"Yep"
"Are you really sure" He joked.
"Daddy" Maria giggled.
"Ok" He said then started. "It was a dark and stormy night, the city was quiet, too quiet. Out of the corner of your eye you see a Zombie, a monster that has come back from the dead for one thing and one thing only-"
"What?" Maria asked excited.
"-human flesh. They walk the nights making humans disappear to become one of their own-" He told the story.
"JD Salinas!" Her mom broke on smiling and shaking her head. She was leaning against the doorway.
"What?" JD said innocently.
"Don't tell her a story like that she's only six." Rain said.
"Mommy it was cool!" Maria said as she stood up. The little girl stood up and started walking toward her mom in a zombie-like way.
"They walks the nights like this" She said then grabbed her mom's leg. "Then they grabs you and eats you up right theres."
Rain picked Maria up. "And then the monsters mommies pick them up and tell them it's bedtime."
"No mommy, the monsters don't sleeps at nights" Maria giggled.
"Well this little monster will" Rain played along then started to tickle her. Maria started laughing.
Rain stopped to settle her daughter then put her on the ground. Maria ran to her daddy, she hugged him then kissed him.
"I finish it later, good night baby girl." JD said to the little girl.
Rain took Maria. Maria washed up, changed, and brushed her teeth. After she was done her mom tucked her into bed.
"Night mommy I loves you!" The little girl said.
"I love you too Maria" Rain said then kissed the little girl on the head.
Maria's flashback ended and she giggled. The wind started to blow hard. Alice let the little girl go into the building first before her. She took one last look at the outside then went into the building.
The two had walked slowly in the building it was all white. This was the same building Alice was in previously. White walls, white doors and mostly white floors except every once in a while there was a symbol on the floor of who the hospital building was owned by.
"This is weird Alice, why isn't anyone around?" Maria asked. "Not even a doctor." Maria looked around curiously and a bit nervously.
"I don't know they are probably with some patients." Alice said.
She motioned Maria to follow her the little girl obeyed. They walk up to a room window Alice gasps. Maria stands up on a chair and looks to see what Alice had gasped at. Maria saw a man lying down on a metal table of some sort. He was wearing only boxer shorts. He wasn't gruesome looking he was clean with some scars here and there. The man was connected to some wires. Maria looked at him with wide eyes.
"D-Daddy!?" She gasped.
