Would آپ like some drama with those feels?


Chapter Twenty-One


    I sighed loudly. Back in the trees again. We had come so far, and then... I shook my head. We weren’t' going to all make it to the safehouse alive. That was a fact a while ago. Right after Ludwig died.

    After that shining moment Feliciano had, he stayed that way. I haven't seen him shed one tear, یا mutter a single word. Just sitting there on a branch, watching the ground. Understandable, considering he lost both his best دوستوں and his brother. He, Ludwig, and Kiku were so close, we all called them the “Axis Powers” of our little group. Hearing a rustle behind me, I thought about making a اقدام to defend myself, but then realized it would be pointless. If it were anything dangerous, I would gladly let it kill me.

    “Zana? Are آپ alright?” Alfred asked me, scooting up beside me.

    “Alright? How could I be alright? Some of my دوستوں are dead, and you're asking me if I'm alright!?” A touch of madness entered my voice, and I took a deep breath to calm myself. “In other words, no.”

    “Look, Zana, now we really have to get to the place thingy, so they didn't die in vain.” He tried putting him arm around me, but I shrugged him off.

    “I know that.” I کہا bitterly. “So why don't we leave? We've got enough guns. The ones who aren't fast enough can be carried on the shoulders of those who are. Just blunder right through the mob of Creeps! It's so utterly simple, no one has thought of it! Why not just do it?” I searched his eyes for some sort of sign that he would agree. He shook his head.

    “It's too big of a risk. What if someone falls? What if there are even مزید now? What if we can't find an opening and run right into a group of them? They're like piranhas!”

    So, no.

    “Well.” I stood up and hopped out of the درخت with ease, landing on my feet. “If the others won't do it.” I dug in my بیلٹ, پٹی and got out my gun. “I will.”

    “Don't آپ even think about it.”

    I started running as fast as I could. I could hear him calling my name and cursing, but I kept running. Toward the edge of the field, I could tell right away that there were مزید zombies that last time. Pushing all fears behind me, I bulled my way right into the crowd. There were loud grunts and a lot of stumbling as I made my way to the middle of the field. That's when I came upon them.

    Yao, Kiku, and Lovino.

    Almost tripping over their bodies, I became overwhelmed سے طرف کی the smell of decomposition. All of those Creeps, along with my now dead friends, made it unbearable. Still, I pushed onward. I couldn't stop now. I already felt tugging on my jacket.

    After what seemed like hours, I reached the end of the field. There stood a metal door. There were Creeps a few yards away, and it wouldn't take them long to reach me. Grunting and using all of my strength, I turned the giant metal wheel on the front and the door squeaked open. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It wasn't the smell of dead things. It was coppery, like...

    “Help...” I heard a voice moan softly.

    “Scottie?” I peered into the pitch black room. Closing the door behind me with a thud, I dug in my pocket and lit a cigarette lighter. What I first saw was all of the blood. It was like she was taking a bath in it. Her face was smudged with red, and her feet were in a puddle of crimson liquid. “What happened to you?” I knelt down beside her, not caring about the blood soaking through my jeans.

    “Dennis...” She struggled. “He went completely insane. Watch yourself, Zana...” She coughed and red splattered on my cheek.

    “Stay with me, Scotts. Come on. Don't close your eyes.” I slapped her cheeks gently.

    “But I'm so tired...” She slurred, her head tilting to the side.

    “Scottie! Come on, آپ gotta stay awake!” My eyes filled with tears.

    “Zana...?” She looked at me.

    “Yeah, I'm here. آپ have to stay with me, Scottie.” I brushed a piece of hair out of her face, and she coughed again.

    “Do آپ believe in heaven?” Her eyes were becoming مزید and مزید distant.

    I choked out a laugh. “I'll believe it when I see it.” I smiled.

    “I hope آپ won't see it for a while longer.” She smiled, lips trembling. Reaching up, she touched my cheek. “Don't cry...” Her arm went down again and she went still. I held her cold hand for a while, sobbing silently, looking at her vacant purple eyes. They had always been her best feature...

    I felt something hit me hard in the back of my head, and I passed out.
