Chapter Nine
Kyle didn't fly very fast. It was probably because he was so huge and his wings were slow. It was okay because I didn't want to go extremely fast and fall. "Okay look," he started.
He seemed to have been calming down now. The spikes on his body were still showing and every time I looked at them I got chills. I wondered if the spikes hurt when they cut through his skin. His voice was calmer but I think he could snap at any second and I'd be dead. I had to be extra careful.
"I'm sorry about what I said back there. I shouldn't be like that to you. I was just in a hurry and I didn't want you to get killed because of me. If Brian caught us trying to escape he'd kill you. He really couldn't kill me because there's no way since I'm technically already dead and if you died I would really be in Hell for good. I shouldn't have said that to you. I'm sorry," he apologized.
"It's okay. I'm sorry for being scared of you. I know you wouldn't do any harm to me. I shouldn't act like this," I said
He smiled and when he did so, I saw his fangs which made me shiver.
"It's alright," he said.
I felt better.
At last we finally reached my house.
Kyle put me down and I unlocked the front door.
We walked inside the dark house.
"Brie?" I called out.
I heard no reply.
"Brie? Where are you?" I yelled again.
There still was no answer.
I ran up the stairs and searched for the light switch.
It was so dark I couldn't see my own hand.
Has this house ever been so dark before?
I found the switched and flicked it on.
There still was no light.
Was the power out?
Then I heard a creaky sound come from a bedroom.
"Kyle?" I asked.
"Yes what is it?" he answered.
"I'm a little scared up here. Um…the light isn't working and I'm hearing noises," I said.
He chuckled darkly and flew up the stairs.
He landed in front of me and I flinched.
"Jeez there's nothing to worry about. It's only me. A giant terrifying demon," he said.
He walked around and flicked on every light switch in the house.
I always followed closely behind him.
None of the lights went on but we knew the power wasn't out because the ceiling fans still operated.
Then Kyle flew up to a light in one room and saw that the light bulbs seemed to have been punched and broken.
"Zombies," he whispered.
He looked over at me.
I must've looked confused or something.
"Zombies," he said louder.
"How?" I asked.
I wasn't sure of what kind of reaction he wanted.
"They came in here and broke the lights. Zombies hate light. They prefer darkness," he explained.
"But why here?" I asked.
"I don't' know. Maybe they saw Brie. Zombies were here. They still could be here," he said.
Right at that moment I felt a hand on my heel.
I screamed.
"Zzzzz…," said a noise below me.
There were zombies in my house still.
"Zombie!" I screamed.
I felt the zombie bite my leg.
Oh crap.
I closed my eyes while I tried to shake the zombie off my leg but it wouldn't go away.
Then I felt dizzy and I found myself on the ground.
The zombie no longer was holding on to me.
The strange "Zzzz" noises stopped.
I felt someone pick me up and hug me as if I were a stuffed bear.
"It's okay," said Kyle.
He was holding me while I cried.
"Don't worry. The zombie is gone. No one is here to get you," he said.
I tried to calm down, but I was still shaking in fear.
"M-My ankle," I stuttered.
Kyle looked at my ankle where the zombie had bitten me.
"It…It bit you?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Well then. That can't kill you. All it will do is get infected like any other bite," he said.
"Brie is dead," I cried.
Kyle said nothing. I knew he was thinking the same but he didn't want to disappoint me by agreeing.
"Let's keep searching. We will find her," he said
He stood up and I followed him out of the room.
He looked everywhere around the house and eventually he found me a flashlight.
He didn't need one because he could see perfectly in the dark.
After hours of searching and watching Kyle throw lost zombies out the window, we finally found Brie.
Or at least, what was left of her.
