Chapter 2: Protector

08:00 AM 10th May 1995

Lisa walked cautiously, her gun held out, ready to react to the slightest danger.

'This whole thing is messed up,' She thought to herself, 'Lydia and I can't be the only two people left, there has to be more survivors.'

Even as she thought this she heard a noise up ahead and tensed. She listened carefully, it sounded like crying, someone else was alive.

"Hey are you okay?" She called out, the crying stopped abruptly, "It's okay, you can come out, I won't hurt you."

There was a brief moment of silence and then the figure appeared. It was a young boy, no more than ten years old. He was rather skinny and had short neat brown hair, brown eyes and naturally tan skin. He was dressed in a pair of navy shorts, a navy polo shirt with a blue sash, going over his shoulder diagonally across his body; he wore a blue bandana around his neck and navy socks that reached up to his knees as well as shiny black shoes. It was obvious from his clothes that he was a boy scout. He must've been at a scout meeting when the disaster struck. Lisa slipped her gun into the waistband of her shorts and knelt down so she was level with the boy.

"Are you okay; you're not hurt are you?" She asked, he shook his head, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, I'm Lisa Richards.

"J-Jacob Robins." He replied shakily. Lisa smiled kindly, "Okay Jacob, listen, I'm trying to find a way out, I can take you with me, get you outta this nightmare."

Jacob smiled gratefully, "Thank you so much." He immediately hugged her, taking her by surprise.

Once he let her go she stood up and she drew her gun again as they continued down the streets heading for the school.

As they walked down the street Lisa noted how badly the situation was getting to Jacob, he was terrified out of his wits and was clinging to her like a life-line, in a way she realized she was, after all, she had been the one who found him and promised to protect him.

"Jacob?" He looked up at her, uncertainly, she paused before asking, "Do you…have any family?"

He lowered his head and sniffled, "They're…they're all dead, they turned into one of those…zombies and the people in the black military suits killed them."

Lisa felt her heart break for the poor little boy, he had lost his entire family, to those zombies as he put it, and the people who Lisa guessed were part of some cover-up operation from their actions.

'But what could they be trying to hide?' She thought when suddenly she was interrupted, 'Oh shit not good.'

It was more of those zombies, but these ones looked different, their skin was redder and their hands had developed into claws, worse still they were accompanied by dogs who also seemed to be zombiefied.

"Jacob, stay behind me." She warned as she raised her gun.

She began to fire at them but they continue to advance as if there were no bullets.

"This is ridiculous," She gasped, "How am I supposed to kill them?"

Jacob then piped up, "When they killed my family, they shot them in the head, said something about weak point."

Lisa nodded and opened fire, this time aiming for the head. The dogs dropped dead immediately but it took more than one bullet and a few close calls to finally kill the red skinned zombies.

Lisa breathed a sigh of relief and reloaded her gun; it had taken two whole clips to kill the group, valuable ammunition wasted. She smiled and turned to Jacob.

"Thanks for the tip, it worked wonders." She said, he smile and nodded, "Thanks for taking me with you."

He fidgeted for a minute and then spoke.

"I don't mean this to be weird but…you remind me of my sister." He explained, Lisa was surprised at this, "Oh, why's that?"

"It's just, the way you act; you're so nice and kind." He remarked, Lisa smiled, a slight blush on her cheeks, "Thanks, c'mon, let's get going, I promise, I will protect you okay."

He nodded and together they hurried down the street, they soon reached a junction.

"Wait here, I'll make it's clear."

Jacob waited as Lisa walked out to the junction. Almost as soon as she stepped out she was jumped by a pack of those dogs. She quickly opened fire, aiming for the head and was able to make short work of them.

'Luckily the pack was small, any bigger they would've been a real problem.'

As she thought this she looked up and froze when she saw what looked like a young man at the window of the police station. He was clearly human and was looking right back at her. However he turned away and disappeared from the window and she sighed.

"Okay Jacob, you can come out now."

Jacob hurried over and noticed her preoccupation so she told him about the young man she had seen.

"Shouldn't we go and see if we can help him?" He asked, Lisa shook her head, "We'll never reach him, there's no shortcut to the police station besides, from the look on his face, I'm more worried about the zombies up against him."

They both laughed at that and continued on, heading towards the school, hoping to meet up with Lydia and anyone she had managed to rescue or meet up with.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
