"Wha-what?"

Then Elle collapsed.

I was about to run to her and check if she was ok when I heard shuffling.

Oh no.

It was another horde of infected.

Oh shit!

The noise from our battle must've attracted them.

I knew that we had to fight but we were all somewhat drained and Elle was still unconscious...

Elle.
No, her worst side.

I...I could relate...

I've always been a little sadistic, I mean, I liked to think and talk about how to torture people who hurt me or my friends and family.

Then, the explosion changed everything.

But... what if I loose control of myself?
I've always been extremely emotional and definitely short tempered, what if it got the better of me?

"C'mon Aqua! We gotta fight!"

That got my attention.

I zone out way too much...

I nodded and summoned a water shield over Elle with what water I had nearby.

Then we charged into battle.
Again.

I ran around using my knives like throwing knives and while my aim wasn't perfect, I managed to hit an average of 8 out of every 10 infected.

As I ran, I picked up some of the knives and kept using them.

Drea was literally blowing the infected away.
Iris was using her 'flash-bang' knives and arrows.
Kitty was hacking away with her sword,
Ruka was going close combat, but she was always just out of reach.
Amber was mixing different chemicals to create explosions and using a dagger we trained her with when we could.
Evan was mauling the infected, their bites not affecting him.
Even the two new members were fairing alright as they ran around with their bow and arrows and knives respectively.

But even with the number of people and skill, there were more infected, there weren't an endless number of them, -Thank God- but it was still enough to give us a hard time.

Eventually, we lost Lia and James too...

"Aqua! Remember what we planned!?"

It was Drea.

Truth to be told, I wasn't really ready, but what choice did we have?

I yelled a "YEAH" and ran over.

Using her aerokinesis, Drea amplified her voice, hollering for everyone in our group to evacuate the area.

When they did (including Elle), we linked hands.
