We walked for about 8-9 days, until we found a small city, near the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded in woods, and had about 6 thousand people. We found our way to a hotel, and we attempted to get some rooms, when we realized we had no money.
We were walking out the door when someone grabbed my arm, slipped something into my pocket, and then turned and ran for the door. I stood in a daze until Shadow nudged me. I checked my pocket and there was a credit card. We went back to the front desk. I was about to get us 4 rooms, but then the lady at the front desk decided to be a pest.
"Why are you all covered in blood?" She asked.
"It's make up. We're suppose to be zombies. You'll be seeing more people like us. It's a game that gonna be going on around the city at night for the rest of the week." I said, looking right into her eyes, giving no hint that I was lying. She shrugged and got us our rooms and several key cards. As we walked, several people called the beds, but no one ever thought about the shower. As soon as we divided into our rooms, I called the shower. I set my backpack on a chair in the corner, then I found a pair of jeans, a black T-shirt, and a black hoodie, then hopped into the shower, eager to get all the dry blood off my skin, and to wear a clean set of clothes.
After a long, hot shower, I dried off, pulled on my jeans and T-shirt, then slipped my arms into my hoodie. As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, Leo and Ian, the twins, were fighting over who got to use the bathroom first. Eventually, Ian just ran into the bathroom and locked the door, leaving Leo cussing as he sat on the bed. I stood awkwardly near the door. Several guys I didn't know were looking at me.
"Need something?" I asked, making eye contact with one of the guys.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Silent."
"How did you know Cobalt?" I suddenly had a deep interest in the floor.
"He was my brother."
"Oh, sorry. He never told us about you. Sorry for your loss." My eyes narrowed and I looked up, into the kid's eyes.
"I didn't even remember for over half my life. He left me at the School after I fell and hit my head. That fall gave me amnesia, and everyday I was at the School, they were experimenting on me, trying to fix my amnesia. In no way was he a loss to me." I said, glaring at the kid. I noticed he and the others he was sitting with were only about 11 or 12.
"Well he was a loss to us. He was our leader, he took care of us. He was our savior at times." I sighed.
"Then I'll try my best to cover for him" I mumbled. "What's your name?"
"Danny," He said, then pointed to the kid next to him, "And this is Kyle."
Thanks to MGAvenger for reviewing, and I know I need to be more descriptive, and I've been trying to make my chapters longer.
