Chapter 6

Tina was walking. Just walking. She was still going over so many things in her mind. It was almost to much for her to think about all at one time. She was somewhat worried actually, since she hadn’t seen any of the monsters for a few hours. But while thinking of these things, she almost missed what was could have happened to here.

About five of them came barreling out from behind a group of shrubs and attacked. Tina heard them at the last second. She drove her knee into the ribcage of one, and made it stumble back. She was ready to kill, but then noticed something about them. They had a green and blue tint of color to them.

She then realized that these were a more advanced version of the zombies. Only compatible with certain blood types. She had seen this only one other time, when an experimental animal had been infected with it. These had the same looks as regular zombies, but were much deadlier. They could run, scream to attract more zombies, and kill with long deadly claws. They could also attack as a well organized group, and actually kill in a swift group motion.

One of them started at Tina. She drew her knife, and went after it. She was then struck down by a second one. It tried to claw at her face, but she grabbed the hand and cut it off with the knife. She then pushed it off, got up, and shoved the knife into it’s temple. As soon as she did that she was clawed.

She started to panic. Then realized that the virus couldn’t be contracted by getting clawed. It died in the claws. “Thank fucking God,” she thought. She was poised to kill the rest of them. One lunged at her, and she shattered its’ knee with her boot. She then stabbed it in the chest cavity, and killed it by stabbing it through the chin to the brain.

Only three more to go. Only she was starting to fell weak. It was 5:00 pm. She hadn’t eaten since breakfast. The greatest time to fell hunger, great. She just held it off though. Two attacked at the same time. She dodged them both, took their heads, and litteraly smashed them together. The heads exploded in a torrent of blood and brains.

The last one stared at her for a short time. It then let out a blood curdling scream. Tina then started to run. She knew she was fucked if she stayed where they were. She ran as fast as she could. All the time, she could hear them coming after her. She knew that there was a way for her to get rid of these bastards though.

As she was running, see could see them running at her. Running. She started to run faster. She blocked out the hunger, the sadness, the pain, the anger, and just ran. She pushed any of them that came across her path out of her way. She wasn’t about to become dinner for them.

Soon she came to the prison on the edge of the town. What was so special about this bridge? It was on a secluded island off the mainland. It was connected by a mechanical bridge that was only used to transport prisoners. The control box was on the other side, and there weren’t any zombies that she could see from there.

So she started to run across to the other side. As she was running, she could see them pouring out of the woods to come and eat her. She ran as fast as she possibly could. She got to the other side, and quickly flipped the switch to get the bridge up.

It was slow, but only a couple got on the other side. She quickly killed them with her knife. A quick survey of the outside showed her that there weren’t any zombies out there. She started to eat a snack that she had prepared before the day started. She got done eating it, went to go check the inside, and was met with a shovel to the face.
