Thanks for the reviews Trevylan and Stupidfic

It's been ages since i updated this story , but wrote a little on it today , and came up with this chapter , which i think is the best so far - hope you like it.

Hunter

Igor rushed down stairs , he shut the door loudly , then propped a chair against it , his eyes travelled towards the other body. He went over to a nearby window and opened the shutters , a beam of light glared at the lump on the floor. At least now he knew were it was. He rushed back upstairs to the others , they were sat on the bed.

" Doors secure " Igor added quietly.

" Good " Alisa said , she didn't look up , just twiddled her thumps.

" So , what's you next plan ? " Eugene spat at Alisa.

" We stay here for a bit , get some supply's , then go " she said , still not looking up. After a minute she spoke again. " I just can't understand what these things are , they're mad , scary " Alisa said timidly.

" You know what I think " Eugene said.

" We all know what you think ! " Igor added.

" Siding up with your Girlfriend eh ? " Eugene teased.

" Oh yeah , me and her every night " Igor retorted.

" Stop it you two " Alisa warned. But Eugene got more and more frustrated.

" Don't back mouth to me you little shit ! " Eugene warned. But Igor charged into Eugene and they thumped into the wall and began to fight , although it wasn't fighting to the death fighting , it was still pretty rough.

" STOP IT! " Alisa half yelled half screamed. Silence quickly followed , and Igor and Eugene stopped fighting and looked at Alisa curiously.

" mmmmmrrrrrrrr " came a low groan , from outside. Alisa heart pumped harder , and harder , and eerily she turned round.

" mrrr " it came again , she edged closer , her sweaty palms gripping her rifle. She could just about see through the window it's paint cracked and pealing off. She slower poked her head out the window so she could see whatever it was. A shadow , a figure standing in the mist , suddenly it's hands flew upwards and it groaned excitably.

" aaarrrmrraaa , rrrrraaaaammaa " it bolted towards the house. Alisa brought her gun up and fired , the pullet bit into it's left shoulder , causing it to spin to the ground.

She let out another shot , the bullet homed in one the thing's brain with scary precision.

" Shit , were serious deep shit " she spat under her breath. Then to more calls came.

" Rmmmmmrrr "

" Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmrrrrrrrr " a second called out as two figures came rushing through the shadows. Alisa's finger slammed on the trigger , but nothing happened.

" Shit , it's jammed ! " she cursed.

" Here let me " Igor said as he pushed passed her. He fired twice , a third time , steaming shell cases jumped for freedom as silver spears chased after prey.

" Damn it " he cursed.

" What ? " Alisa asked as she moved closer.

" The bastard's gone round the back " he snapped.

" I'll get it " Eugene said coldly as he disappeared into the other room , a second later he was back , looking panicked.

" This is shit , serious shit " he cursed.

" What ? " Alisa asked curiously , although she didn't want to know the answer.

" There's some Russians , 6 of them " he said panicky.

" That's great , come on lets go " Alisa said dreamily.

" No , I meant ex-Russians " he said unhappily.

" Shit " she said.

The three of them rushed out of the room , leaving the German behind. The room was musty and they took up positions behind the battered shutters. 6 ex-Russians stood almost directly underneath them , easy targets. Alisa nodded to the others to , he sweaty palms slippery on the cold harsh metal. She fired , an eruption of blood followed , the others fired to. Shell cases flailed madly in the air , the sound of gunfire only just hid the frantic excited groaning and moaning below.

Alisa backed off , her gun jammed again , she threw it down angrily , the other two looked at her , the moaning silenced.

" What now ? " Igor asked. Alisa was about to reply when she was interrupted by the screams of the German.

They rushed onto the landing to see a thing hobbling towards him , he was cowering in the corner. The things leg was ravaged , barely more than the bone was left. Igor planted a bullet into it's skull. It dropped in a bloody mess. It's hand was missing skin , red raw flesh gleamed brightly , bloody scabby arms , ripped clothing , a trail of blood snacking its way along.

" How did this get in ? " Alisa asked , glaring at Igor.

" I shut that bastard door , come and check , I even propped a chair up " he snapped.

" Ok , but lets go and check , all the same " They quietly descended the stairs , it was dark , they got to the bottom. The door had been pushed open , an old chair lay broken on the floor. Igor could hear , a quiet noise , odd , kind of like treading on mud , but that didn't make sense , it was so cold the mud was frozen. It was then he looked across to where the body was , two things were crouched over it , eating. He quietly nudged Eugene , who saw this two. They both raised their rifles to fire when suddenly , a hail of bullets shot through the open door. The things turned and ran only to fall in a splatter of gore. Running and heavy breathing could be heard , then more gunshots. A man burst through the open door , turned and let off more shots. A dead arm fell into view at the doorway.

" Don't move , put your gun down ! " Eugene warned , aiming his gun.

" Shit ! " The German cursed , as if he could understand the man. He slowly placed his mp-40 machinegun down by his feet , raising his arms slightly , but still on the look out for any more things.

Hanz , the German had come down stairs and looked relieved to see another German.

" So , what's your plan now Alisa ? " Igor asked , looking unsure at her and the German.

" We move out , there's nothing useful here , and he comes with us " she said pointing to the German.

" No , that's just stupid , he and the other one are our enemies , I say we let them to go off on their own , were not some kind of moving POW camp " Eugene spat.

" No , that's crazy , it's much more better to stick together " the other German said , surprising the others.

" He speaks Russian " Alisa whispered to herself.

" Why's that ? " Igor asked , not liking the idea much.

" My whole unit , a few dozen troops just got decimated about a half hour ago , I know you don't like us , trust me the feelings mutual what chance do small number of people have though" the German replied.

" I'm no German sympathiser , but he's got a point " Alisa said , awaiting for Eugene's negative reply.

" Yeah , I guess " Eugene said , taking the other two by surprise.

" Then I guess I've gotta go along " Igor said.

" Alright , but I'm keeping my gun , no offence but I don't trust you lot to watch my ass " the German said , bending to pick up his weapon.

" Go ahead , the more guns the better " Alisa said " Come on , lets get the hell out of here " she said as she moved towards the door , she now had her pistol in her hand and the rifle slung over her shoulder. They followed her out , keeping tightly together , the two Germans watching the rear.

After a while , Eugene turned round to the two Germans , who were talking quietly.

" So what's your story ? " he asked sceptically.

The German though it over for a bit before he began to talk " Me and my unit were on patrol in this area , we came across a large pocket of Russians , after a few minutes fighting we seemed to be getting the upper hand. The Russians seemed to suddenly all die , we moved over to check out the bodies , make sure they were all dead , they were , but it was like a pack of dogs had killed them rather than bullets. Then out of know-where , these Civilians came running at us , no weapons , so we didn't shoot , just tried to calm them down and like animals they attacked , biting , clawing , a few of us fell , and then we killed the Civilians. We were about to move out about 5 minutes later , when everybody was getting up , the Russians first , but they didn't fight like soldiers. It was a hell of a fight to even kill one. Before I knew it , only a handful were left , everyone else was dead , or in between being dead and alive. So I ran , and I was running ever since I came to that house " he finished , and seemed somehow distanced , everyone else was to , and they carried on in silence , keeping a sharp watch out for anyone who was Living.
