Chapter 3
I leaned down and asked Joseline if she knew about any other survivors in the city? She took a shaky breath and told me there were a few people still left in the city, she and her sister had been members of a group of survivors. They were scavenging for supplies when a horde of walkers came out of nowhere and chased them, she and her sister had been separated during the fight some members of the group had been killed and others infected. She pleaded with us to help her find her sister, we knew it would be risky but if the chances of finding other survivors to join our cabal we had to do it.
We took some bandages, antibiotics and a few pills. We were about to head out to find Joseline's sister when she told me that if her sister was infected, she kept the remaining words inside. I told her she didn't have to say it but it would have been painful for Joseline to find out that her only sister was turned into a zombie wondering the streets hungry for brains.
We headed down to the shops to have a fast snack while also killing a few zombies. Then we headed to the place where Joseline had last heard from her sister. Noa told me that it was very sad for someone as young as her to be stuck in this kind of world,' Well we all must learn to survive in these harsh times, she's just lucky we found her in time or not who knows what might have happened to her'. I replied with a voice somewhere near stone cold and my emotional side. I tried not to tap into my emotional side much these days since a survivor had to do what was necessary for survival, including killing the ones you love so that no more shall die which was something I was willing to do but would never want to.
We finally arrived at the motel, one was for sure we weren't going to get in easy since the entrance was packed with a bunch of hungry zombies. We also saw some bloody footsteps leading into the motel which meant our survivor might still be alive. Noa and I hid behind a SUV and planned on how we were going to fight our way through, hopefully we wouldn't have to spend a lot of ammunition. Noa came out with a idea, one of us would stay here while the other went inside the motel. I told her it would be too risky but she looked at me with those eyes and that look that made me feel guilty. 'Well do you have another idea genius we can either sit out here and slowly let our survivor and a sister die in the hands of zombies, or we can do as I planned' said Noa in a more serious voice then ever.
I finally agreed to stay here while Noa went in to retrieve the sister. I blockade myself inside the RV as a protection and used the windows to aim hoping that the zombies wouldn't just jump through. Noa ran around the back killing the zombies and that was when I took my shot. The zombies came running over and I hoped I could keep this up for as long as possible. At that moment I saw Noa go into the motel and the she was gone. I prayed to god to keep her safe, and started slicing some zombies near the windows before finally using my ammunition.
Noa's Side
I went into the motel and I have to admit this might have been the creepiest place I had ever seen. I heard the loud bangs go off in the back and hoped Ronald was alright. I climbed up the stairs and heard complete silence which was creepy because all I didn't see any zombies come out from the motel for food but I did see foot prints and followed them. I was nearly at the 8th floor when I heard moaning and I took out my hatchet, I waited until the zombies came close enough and decapitated them. I went into the room took out my shotgun and shot the zombies and with a bang they dropped dead like they were suppose to be when they died, only this time they didn't rise from the dead.
I would have regretted going into that room in the first place because when I look up top I saw mutated zombies, these were the quite and creepy kind they the humans had been mutated into some kind of spider zombies when they died. They must have died at a research DNA center nearby I thought to myself. They came down on me with the speed of a snake. The first one grab on to me and was ready to bite my I simply cut of its head and shot the second one which made me feel quite good until a third one came out of nowhere. The little mutated insect cut off my hair almost hit my neck but I dodged it, 'You are going to pay for that you bastard' I said with a frustrated voice. The zombie rushed towards me but I shot his legs off before he could reach my neck. The only weakness about these guys is that without their creepy slimy crawly legs they can't walk.
I took out my hatchet and cut his head off. I followed the tracks which lead to a bathroom and in there I found Joseline's sister. She was badly wounded with scars and I quickly pulled out the painkillers and bandages to assist her but she simply pushed them away. She asked me if her sister sent me to find her and I nodded. I went again to try to help her but she said it was no use before she had locked herself in the bathroom one of those mutated zombies had gotten to her she had managed to escape with her life but had gotten bitten.
She handed me a few photos of her and her sister and asked me to deliver it to her sister as memories, I asked if she knew any other survivors around and she said no, she said that pretty much the remaining had gotten killed or infected and were now probably wondering the streets looking for brains. She asked me to tell her sister to be safe and take care and also that she would be watching over her in heaven.
She started to cry and asked me to put a end to her misery before she became a zombie. I reloaded my shotgun, closed my eyes aimed and shot. When I opened my eyes back there was blood splattered over the walls and the girl had smiled as she passed away. I started to cry until I remembered Ronald was still outside and started to run downstairs to help him out or not he would become a zombie too.
I wiped my tears off, reloaded my gun and ran downstairs as fast as I could hoping that Ronald was still alive.
