Normally, I'm always a few chapters ahead. Like with Prologue, I was on this chapter, Chapter one, I was beginning chapter 4, but on this one, I haven't even finished chapter four!! NOOO!!
Alrighty, lets get to this story...
Chapter 2
Sam told us that we didn't need to eat fresh human. He told us they would be gone in a year or two anyhow. He told us to stay on the roof while he got us food. He came back dragging a monster with his tongue.
"These are Commons," He explained, "Nothin' special about them. They're the stupidest, got the minds of an animal. So, let's dig in."
Sam was a quiet man, monster, whatever you want to call him. He didn't try to talk to us as we ate. He would talk about what was going on with the world. He told us that this 'End of the World' as he called it, started about four months ago up north. It started down here in the south two months ago. I remember hiding away for a month in that store, and then I was killed. I was most likely asleep for a month. No wonder I was so hungry when I woke.
While we ate, he asked us yes or no questions.
"Any of yous remember your past?" No.
"Do you know what happened to the world?" No.
"Know what I'm called?" No.
He told us he would explain that when we were able to talk.
Sam didn't talk to us while we traveled to the mall. Every hour so, he would grab one of the 'Commons' and giving them to me and the girl. He said that we would be nonstop hungry for a few days.
The mall was on the other side of the town, but being the tallest building in town, it was easily seen from far away. We made in there in a few hours (if I counted time right). If I was in a car, I would already be there, and would've been shopping or eating. But dead, or undead, it would take an hour on foot, jumping from one building to another. The girl couldn't jump well, so she rested on my back. We took time to wrap up the cuts she left me, then calm her down.
Once there, the smell of people still lingered, but they were nowhere to be seen.
"We'll start ya'll teachin' right here," He sat on a blood covered picnic table. The girl and I sat by him. "Forgive me if I start treatin' ya like you two, but this is the only way to teach ya's."
"Repeat after me. Hungry." I couldn't believe this. I had to learn how to speak. I was almost certain I had done it before, if only I could remember.
We tried to say the simple word for what seemed like forever. Neither one of us could say it, we didn't even get close. Sam finally gave up, and caught us a Common to eat. He stayed away, saying he was terrified he would lose his fingers if he got too close. When we finished the Common, Sam was sleeping near a tent.
When Sam was asleep, the girl and I looked at each other. We seemed to be doing that a lot lately. She had blood from the Common dripping from her mouth, down her chin, and staining her clothes. Her hair had had blood covering the tips. Her eyes always with tears ready to fall. She looked back at me, and I wondered what she saw. Did she see me, as I am now? My brown hoodie covered in blood and dirt? Or did she see me as I was before?
I could not remember what I looked like. I only remembered my hair and eyes were a light brown. Whether it was summer, spring, winter, or fall, I would wear a brown hoodie. I remember I had something on my face. It covered my eyes, and I only wore them when I was reading. Some days, when I went for a run, I would wear them to read what was written on the walls.
My personality before was not remembered. I couldn't remember if I was nice or mean. Quiet or loud. Loving or hateful. I couldn't remember the girl either. All I knew was that she was much younger than me.
Sam snored as we stared. We didn't use our hands to say anything. There was nothing to say. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She laid her head down in my lap without asking permission. She and I both knew I wouldn't push her off.
I laid back and fell asleep, listening to Sam's snoring, and the girl's soft breathing.
Lol, me Loves Sam! But since I'm a few chapters ahead, of course I love Sam.
I know I shouldn't be putting my own story down or anything, but this chapter is not one of my best. I just don't like the beginning, that's it.
BTW, Come on, a Hunter has to have a Hoodie. I just made sure his wasn't blue. Truthfully, I was two seconds away to having the hoodie have kitty ears on it! lol
And, I do not hate animals. I love them and think they are very intelligent. Their like us, born knowing very little, and learn as we grow. But that's what I think, Sam thinks differently. Wait, Sam's a made up character in this story, so does he think outside of my head? Wait. . . I'm confusing myself!! AHH!!
Before I leave, which is best.
A.) A survivor
B.) The smartest Common ever
C.) One of the special infected?
If you choose C.) please say which Special infected is best.
People who read this will find out why I'm asking later.
