I Snapped Again
I've been driving about more than twenty miles, Aurei is sleeping. She hasn't said a word ever since Jeffrey committed suicide on the side on the street. I cleaned my face with a water bottle as we left...
I drive down the huge bridge, with cars on the other side, there were stores...gas stations and skyscrapers.
We need to grab some gas, whatever food we need and get out of here before shit hits the fan.
And fast.
As I drive down from the bridge, Aurei wakes up, looking around her.
"Bad breath." I said wryly, she glares at me.
"You're the one to talk." She shot back, leave it to Aurei if you want a very sassy comeback.
"We're stopping at the gas station. I'll need you to look inside the store, holler if something happens." I said as I pull into the parking lot.
"Got it." She said, grabbing her bag, stepping outside and walking to the store.
"Wait." I said, walking up to the store, knocking on the door pretty loudly, expecting a couple of moans of the undead, but there was nothing but silence.
"Okay, grab the things we need, foodwise, and if there's any water, grab it." I said before grabbing a bucket of gasoline that laid on the ice box. It still had more than enough gas for the car.
Aurei nods.
"If something happens I'll run back out here." Aurei reassures me before stepping inside. I hope that this was a good idea...I trusted her enough to go inside a place for five minutes.
I begin to load the car with the gas, as I look around. It's quiet, too quiet. There were papers all over the streets.
My mind begins to rush. Why would I leave Aurei alone like that? Without anything to protect herself with?? What kind of sister am I?
I move away from the car, then I hear a yell, I immediately run inside, using my shoulder to barge through the door, I see a man clasping his hand over Aurei's mouth, wearing a bandanna over his own.
"Drop the gun or the girl dies." A womanlike voice said, but before I could do anything Aurei bites the man's hands, so hard that it begins to draw blood, he yelps wildly but Aurei bit down harder into his middle finger.
"She's gonna tear it off!" The man screams.
"Don't let her go!" The woman barks, she stares at me, she had loose blonde hair with grey eyes, another man with brown hair just stood beside the man who was grabbing hold of Aurei.
The blood drips onto the floor, and I hear a small snap. The man lets go of Aurei, clutching his finger that was bent all the way back. Aurei bit his hand until she broke one of his fingers.
"If you hurt her, I will kill you." I said grimly, I could feel my blood begin to boil again.
"She broke one of my men's fingers...." The woman said, turning to me.
"My name is Blaire, and they are Gus and Richard." Claire said, thinking that I cared about who they are.
A ear peircing gunshot rings my ears, I stagger to the side only to see Aurei collasping to the ground, blood beginning to cover the ground.
I shake my head in denial. Claire stares fearfully and angrily at the man who held the gun, I show the most scariest face I could ever make in my life.
I bite my lip, feeling the blood trickle down in my mouth.
Then I pull out my revolver, shooting Claire by the head, then the Richard, the man with the broken finger. Gus backs away but I walk up to him.
"N-n-" Gus begins to stutter but I stab him by the chest, he drops his gun. Then I keep stabbing him, giving him the coldest look I could give, then I stab him by the stomach. I want him to suffer, I want him to die a slow death.
I pull out the dagger, letting him fall to the ground gurgling in his own blood.
"You really think that I'm gonna put you out of you misery?" I ask him, then I walk over to Aurei, her eyes were open.
I pull her up, grabbing her bag.
"L-le-" She stutters but she starts wheezing, my heart pounds against my chest. She's having a athsma attack.
"I'm not leaving you." I said wearily, scooping her up under her knees, carrying her out the door but I see the roamers turn to me and they start limping and staggering after me.
I couldn't get to the car, so I start running down the road.
Stupid. I'm so stupid for letting her go in there alone....I could blow my own head off for this.
Aurei wheezes louder, her eyes dialating. But I keep running. This isn't gonna happen...I won't let her die.
"Hang in there." I said breathlessly, but as I go between the crossroad, I see millions of the undead and they begin to follow us too.
"Leave." Her voice sounds so faint, and she was out of breath. Then she begun to wheeze some more.
"Me." She adds between her wheezes.
"No...I'm not leaving you." I said, I keep running until I pass a fence.
"Hey! Over here!" Someone shouts.
I turn around to see two men standing on the sidewalk, beckoning me to come with.
"She's having a athsma attack." I said breathlessly.
"We got her." The man says, grabbing her and running off as the other man kept shooting at the roamers.
I grab my revolver, shooting more of the roamers, then I keep shooting, then turned around to run down the sidewalk behind the man who was running with Aurei in his arms.
I didn't care about anyone else except for Aurei. I killed those people so fast, I could care less about the man I left to die at the gas station, I just hope that his ribcage is getting torn apart right now. I don't care about how fast I killed them, at least I didn't hesitate doing it.
The man makes a right, I do the same to see a huge tank, and before it, a hospital. The people at the fence open when they see us running.
"Athsma attack!" The man yells at the woman who opened the gates for us, she nods then chases after us.
A boy runs towards us with a rolling bed, then they put Aurei on it and begun racing past the desk and down the hall, I keep chasing them. A woman with curly black hair stops me.
"She's gonna be-" I break free from her grip, but she grabs me.
"Listen, she's gonna be alright, calm down." The woman reassures me but I pin her against the wall by holding her collar.
"Don't tell me to calm down." I growl. She gulps but keeps staring at me.
"Let Laurie go." A grown man said, his footsteps echo down the hall, he just stops. I back away, glaring at him.
"Please, let her help your wounds." He said, holding a clipboard in his hand.
"I'm fine." I said flatly.
"You're bleeding head to toe...please, we'll take you to that girl once you get patched and cleaned up." He said, the woman inches closer to me.
"If you will please...come with me." She said, grabbing my arm and leading me up a flight of stairs.
As she walked past people I see men and women in hospital gowns. Then she leads me into a room with a bed, a rolling chair with a table full of supplies used for stitches and severe cuts.
I cringe to see a large cut across my arm.
"You can take a shower but water is limited for newcomers, I'll be back with some fresh clothes." She said before walking away.
I walk into the bathroom, I turn on the lights to see a small shower, and a marble sink, I look at my reflection. My hair was covered in blood, my face had dirt smeared and my clothes were in nothing but blood and dirt.
I take my hair loose then took off my clothes, turning on the shower, water runs through my hands, I hastily step inside the shower and begun to clean myself, I look down to see almost everything go down the drain.
I turn around to face the shower, the blood soon coming off my face.
How could I be so stupid? That's my little sister with a possible chance of dying because of me. I could care less about killing those people...
The way Gus coiled away with fear when I walked towards him. I didn't speak, I didn't hesitate, and I don't care.
Part of me wished that I used Gus as roamer bait. Maybe we would've got here faster.
I begun to cry. I devoted my life to Aurei, my blood only runs for her sake. I should've taught her when she asked.
I've snapped.
I stop the shower then grabbed the towel that was beside the sink then stepped out to see a pile of clothes. I put on my undergarments...underwear then grabbed a blank white t-shirt.
I put it on along with some odinary dark jeans, then put on some tight black running shoes, then put on a olive-green cargo jacket that went no lower than my hips.
I walk out of room to see the nurse kneeling towards this girl, she seemed like she was going through cancer. The nurse turns to me.
"Oh, you're ready." She said before walking to the room I was in.
"It's just my arm." I said, pulling up my sleeve to show my cut.
"You must've cut it while running past the fence....are you bit or scratched by any of those things?" She asks, I shake my head.
"No." I said flatly, resting my arm on the table, she sits on the rolling chair then begun to pour alcohol into the cloth.
"This will sting." She warns, I shrug, I could care less about the amount of pain I'm going to be in...I deserve it.
She begun to dab the cloth into my cut, I grit my teeth as she continues to clean my cut.
"I know how you feel." The nurse says.
"You do?" I retort.
"When this whole thing started my son got bit, when my husband came to check on him one day, he devoured him. I was left with no other choice but to put him down." The nurse says.
"I had to kill three people because one of them shot Aurei." I admit....it's now or never to confess that I kill people to are a threat to me and my little sister.
"Did you think about it?" The nurse asks, part of me expected her to freak out.
"No, soon as my little sister got shot, I shot two people then left one to die." I said.
"You're not a bad person....they were." The nurse said.
If Aurei dies.....I will lose my mind and I will never forgive myself....
