Aftermath the Beginning: Part 6

I just don't understand it!

Nothing makes sense in this world anymore, things are just going from bad to worse within the group, we are losing People quickly, between the deaths and the leaving of some of the others we are now down to eleven still in the Shopping Center, Everyone else left the day after what happened.

I don't even know what the day or time is anymore, all it is is Darkness and Light, it's cold everyday, something is wrong, the snow is still falling and it's been way to long to be a typical winter in this country, There has been no help, no rescue... Nothing.

We are all close to breaking point, even if we don't say as much, it's in the air, there's a certain air of doom around everyone, once we realised what was happening everyone just kind of Gave up on us surviving through this and getting back to normal lives, normal ways, We realised that the bite of these creatures isn't what kills you, it's the infection that the bite carries with it, some kind of Virus that turns whoever gets bitten into the Undead.

We Lost Katie, Nathan and Elliot, all within Hours of each other, none of us could have been prepared for what happened, how could we have been? it was sudden and a shock, Katie died of her infection three days after we got her back, She was dead for about 5 minutes before she woke up, we thought we had been mistaken but she was weird, she was not cohesive, not until Nathan got too close to her, she took off his ear, ripping it off with her teeth and growling with an inhumane manner.

Without thought Crystal smashed her bat over Katie's head, stopping the noise and cracking her skull, Katie fell limp to the floor "you have to destroy the brain" Matt said, eyeing up Nathan who was on the floor, bleeding heavily "it's the bites that do it and he was bitten!" we all looked towards Nathan, who had suddenly gone quiet and was looking towards us, bloodshot eyes filled with tears, Elliot ran to his side, grabbing him and placing himself in front "you aren't going to hurt him" he yelled at us.

pulling his knife, And placing Crystal in his sights, knowing she would be the one to do it, after several seconds Crystal lowered her bat, looking him in the eyes, Nathan had fallen quiet and was hiding as well as he could behind Elliot "he's my best friend, I'd kill each and anyone of you to protect him!" Elliot roared, a coughing and spluttering behind him made him stop and look around..

Blood seeps between Elliot's legs, Blood that Nathan had just spewed out of his mouth, the noises he was making had changed aswel, more guttural and animalistic, without a single warning he leaps forward and bites into Elliot's throat, ripping it out even as Elliot stabbed him with his Knife, making wounds that would kill an ordinary man, but still Nathan kept pushing onto him, Blood spread across the floor from both Elliot and Nathan, Matt and Crystal rushed forwards to finish off Nathan as he turned to us, if it wasn't for them we would have died that day, but it completely destroyed the group, some arguing that they should have separated Nathan from everyone else, but none of us there saw  any other way to deal with the situation, maybe we reacted too harsh? maybe we were right, I don't know, i just know that things are going to change.... and Soon..... Very soon....
