Chapter Seven-Effects of Zane's 'Death?'

Zane P.O.V

I lay there in the street aching. I was pretty much just eaten alive. How I'm still alive and not one of them is beyond me. I am just laying here in pain. My gun 2 feet away and I can't even grab it.

I can't even move to be totally honest. For some reason they didn't bite my face or neck. I wonder how Yasmin is. I know I probably won't see her again unless I can manage to get up. I don't see that happening considering my legs have bites down to the bone. As I lay here I hear the sound of someone walking. I slowly look around scared it might be more crawlers.

To my relief it is two people? When they see me they stop. I can see one is a male and one is a female. Then the male points a gun at me. I eyes widen at this. If I could move to show I meant no harm I would, but my arms refuse to lift.

I try to talk, but it just comes out as meaningless noise. I hear him cock his pistol. My heart sinks. Please don't shoot. Please don't shoot. Is all that crosses my mind. Then he begins to get closer. Once he is right above me I look him dead in the eyes. Then he points the gun at my head. This scares the living hell out of me.

I try so hard to talk. "P-Please d-d-don't." I manage to rasp out. When I say this his eyes widen. Then he calls the female over. "He's alive." I hear the male say. "But how?" the female asks. Then the male puts his gun away and crouches at my side. He looks at me carefully. Then looks at the female.

She gives a nod and he gently picks me picks me up. When he picks me up the pain is unbearable and I blackout.

Yasmin P.O.V

I just watched the love of my life get pulled into a pack of crawlers. It is the worst thing I have ever watched. Now I sit alone in our...my room crying my eyes out. Hoping like crazy some miracle is gonna happen and he's alive. I know this isn't gonna happen, but it's all I have left to keep me going. I hear a knock on the door. "It's...o-open." I sob. When the door opens I see Lilly. "Hey." she says softly closing the door.

I look at her. Then I put my head back into my pillow. I feel Lilly sit on the bed next to my. "How you feeling?" she asks. When she asked this I almost sat up and slapped her, but instead I sit up and look at her. "W-what d-do you t-think?" I ask. She looks at me. "I'm gonna let you be. This is something only time will heal." she says getting up and leaving.

After Lilly leaves I see Dec at the door. Before he even comes in I get mad. "No! Dec go away." I say raising my voice. He comes in any way. "Why? What did I do?" he asks innocently. When he says this I give him a death glare. "You're the one who shot and got their attention!" I yell. After I yell I see Garth come running into the room.

"What is going on?" he asks. Dec stands up. "She is blaming me for what happened." Dec says. This must have pissed Garth off because he got in Dec's face. "It is your fault!" he shouts. "How?" Dec asks. Garth got real mad at this. "How!? You're the one that shot. You're the one that got their attention." Garth says.

Dec pushes Garth away from him. By this time everyone else is here. Just as Flare comes in Garth pulled his arm back and he nailed Dec square in the nose. The impact of Garth's fist knocked Dec on his ass. Just as Garth was gonna jump on Dec and probably kill him Eelon and Flare grab him and pull him out of the room. After they do this Humphrey leaves and Eelon comes back.

Right when Eelon came back Dec got up and was gonna go attack Garth. When he was right in front of Eelon punches him. "Do yourself a favor and stay down." Eelon says. Soon they all leave. Once they are gone I lay back down and cry myself to sleep.

Zane P.O.V

I just woke up and I am still in pain. Not as much as I was in, which I am glad. After laying here for about 20 minutes I realize I am in a building and on a mattress. I am getting tired of laying down so I try to sit. To my surprise I can sit fairly easily. Then I see that girl from the street. She must have seen me sit up because she got up and came over to me.

"How are you feeling?" she asks kindly. I look at her then at my body. "Well considering the fact the I am still alive and not one of those undead bastards I would say I doing great." I say with more ease than last time. She looks at me. "If you don't mind me asking? How did this happen?" she asks. I look down and remember what happened.

"Well...Are group was heading into town to get ammo and one of the group members shot his gun and shot. Well it got their attention. Then we were running back to are base and my brother tripped. So I grabbed him and shoved him away from the crawlers and in turn shoving myself into them. Then the other leader of are group tried to help, but I told him to go and watch over his girl and keep mine safe. Then I got pulled into the crawlers." I finish.

"Did he shoot on purpose?" she asks. I look at her. "You know what I don't know, but to be honest I think he did." I say. The the guy comes in. "Well look who's awake." he says. I look at him. "So stranger what's your name?" he asks. I look at him. "My name is Zane." I say. "Nice name." he says. "Thanks. Now may I get your names?" I ask.

The girl looks at me. "I'm Parsalece." she says. I look at her. "I like your name" I say. Then I look at the male. He looks at me. "My name is Buck." he says. I nod and lay back down.

Garth P.O.V

Ever since I watched Zane get pulled down by the crawlers I have been depressed. I mean Zane was like a brother to me. He was there for me. He had my back when I got myself into a bad situation with the crawlers. Then Dec had to go and get him killed. I'm not gonna do anything because I know Zane wouldn't. I promised Zane I would watch Yasmin and keep her safe.
