I flung the bag onto my back and clipped the buckles together. Theo did the same and pulled out his gun. He walked towards the door and grasped the handle in his hands. I shuffled behind him and waited for him to open the door.

“Three”
“Two”
“One”
“Now”
He flung the door open and ran outside. He stopped and checked different directions before signalling me to come out. Clear. I walked outside and looked left and right before giving Theo a frown, knowing what he was going to ask.

“Are we going to look for survivors at the same time?” Theo asked and furrowed his eyebrows.

“No why would we need to? We just need to get supplies and return back to this room” I shrugged turning around to lock the door. He sighed and we both started walking down the hallways, avoiding the deformed bodies along the side.

“We’ve been here, and I’m estimating, about 4 years now. How could we of not seen any survivors?” Theo grunted and turned the corner with his gun ready.

“Because people might have died or they have successfully adapted to living and surviving in these circumstances. Besides I don’t know how to feed a few more mouths when I am already feeding me and you” I added scratching the side of my leg and giving my limbs a bit of a stretch.

“You’ve been exercising right? How many hands?” I asked cracking my neck and fingers.

“One hand now with my fists, I’m still trying to do four fingers but it’s harder” he groaned giving his hand a shake and showing me the red blisters forming.

“Push-ups are hard yes, but the more training you do, counting that you do it properly and concentrate your energy in the right locations, you should be able to do anything literally” I stated ignoring the repeated question he asks every time we go out for supplies.

I strode out in front of him re-taking leader and turning a corner. Two brown eyes met mine. I jumped backwards and pulled out my gun and flipped it upside down before directing the front of the gun at the head.

“Disgusting” I muttered before pulling the trigger and shooting the head. A moan came out of the head and blood spluttered on the floor.

“Remember don’t touch the blood and don’t touch anything that involves them. Do that you might as well kill yourself before you become one of them” I said stepping over the body and walking down the hallway.

“Yes I understand” he mumbled running up to me from behind and keeping his pace with mine.

“So the plan is for me to go to the supermarket on Continental Street, get supplies from there, and meet back up on the roof of the insurance tower and leap from building to building till we get to the hotel roof and then travel back to our room through the escape exit on the side of the building right?” Theo asked taking a glance outside of the window and instantly regretting it.

“The same as usual” I shrugged biting at my nails. “Hey, why don’t you ever want to look for survivors?” he asked stopping in the middle of the hallway.

“Like I said before why do I need to keep saying it” I sighed ignoring his abrupt action and walking away.

“You’re lying, it’s the same excuse I know you are lying” he yelled grinding his teeth together and clenching his fists.

“You really want to know? It’s because I enjoy knowing that people are weaker than me and that they are getting themselves killed. Means I don’t have to go off killing them myself” I laughed flipping him off.

“Why are you like this? Do you not care about maybe we could recrea-” I held the gun in his direction and glared at him.

He froze his eyes filled with fear he clenched his fists tighter. “What kind of a person does that?!” he screamed gripping his long blonde hair. Tears streamed down his face and he looked at me with a pained expression.

“Don’t move” I muttered tilting my head to the side playing with the trigger with my pinky finger.

“I really thought you were something, I thought you could save humanity and we could recreate something on this earth. Actual living life” he screamed shaking his head excessively.

I pressed the trigger and watched the bullet fly past his head, cutting strands of his hair off and indent itself into the forehead of a zombie. He gasped and collapsed to the floor shrouding himself with his arms.

“Having to protect you is enough don’t you think?” I said turning around and fixing my hair into a pony tail.

“I’m sorry, so sorry” he sobbed and stretched his arms around my waist. “You’re twelve aren’t you? And isn’t your birthday soon as well?” I nodded rubbing his hands with my palms.

“We should get going now, otherwise we won’t have enough time” I sighed lugging Theo along with me down the stairs.

“But as a birthday present if we do find a survivor, we’ll look after him. Like a dog maybe” I suggested rubbing my temples.

He smiled and let go of me before running in the opposite direction and giving me a wave “Remember the melody to sing to tell each other we are safe” he called before slipping through a door.

I crept down the stairs slowly without a sound. I controlled my breathing till you could barely hear it. Years of training. This is what I am made of. I slid down on the stair railway lifting my feet with my heavy black boots off the ground.

I tread carefully among the hallways; if they can smell me from here I’m fucked. I took a turn and went down another flight of stairs before making my way in front of a door and taking out the key for the door out of my pocket. I inserted the key into the key hole of the door and opened it. I rushed in and closed the door behind and sighed.

The stench of blood wafter into my nostrils and nearly gagged. I made my way past the dehumanized body of a zombie that lay in the middle of the small room. In one week I learnt that that their smell can be so acute from a small distance away. If they smell human or anything that’s not them, they’ll eat it. After Theo almost got eaten… I had both of us wear a large coat ‘made’ of zombie flesh and blood every time we were to go out of the hotel and get supplies or unfortunately look for survivors for god damn Theo.

He is such a pest sometimes and being a pest it’s hard to kill him. Literally. I groaned and slipped on a pair of thick elastic gloves, goggles and the coat that was originally white is now a swirl of red, brown and black, along with the intestines that rested around the collar of the coat.

I glanced at the body.Fucking animals. I strode out of the room and locked the door and making my way towards the front of the hotel I started behaving like the dead. I moaned and groaned and shuffled my feet. They started to sniff as if making sure I really was one of them, it all comes down to the smell. I moaned a bit more avoiding eye contact with a few of the zombies that came up to me.

I turned into an alleyway and started to run. This was my shortcut to get to the supply store a.k.a the supermarket. I sniffed the air. It smelt moist and wet. I looked at the sky and watched the dark clouds roll over the grey sky and instantly I knew I really had to run.
I peeked around the corner to see if there were any zombies relatively close to the supermarket, if there weren’t I’ll run. One two three four. There’s a total of about seven. Hopefully they don’t decide to turn around to notice me. They seem more intent on eating each other at the moment. I can use this to my advantage.

I walked out onto the road and watched them as I took large steps towards the doors of the supermarket. The sky almost grumbled as it got darker. I took a few more steps starting to be weary of the zombies eating each other, they must be that hungry. I mean they’ve eaten the whole population. I pushed the door open quickly and scrambled inside and locked it behind me. I had every single key to the stores in this city and that included the spare keys to the hotel rooms in our hotel.

I sighed and walked towards the shelves, taking my coat and gloves off and hanging it up on of the shelves during the process. I swung my bag around and took tin after tin after tin of different food varieties. A stack of water bottles that were messily scattered across the floor was positioned near the counters. I took a lot of bottles and organised them into my bag.

“Theo’s birthday is soon, I’ll have to get him something” I thought looking around the store. My eyes landed on a box of toys near a shelf with racks of packaged toys. I ran my hands over the plush toys picking up a soft brown monkey with attachable Velcro hands. It looked at me with large brown eyes giving me the slight creeps.

“How can people like this stuff?” I grunted attaching the monkey’s hands around my bag strap. This can be his birthday present. He’s always had an interest in monkeys for some odd reason. What a pest…or a monkey.

Adverting my eyes elsewhere I looked at the aligned shelf with many packaged toys. I hovered my hand over them deciding what toy he would enjoy something that would keep him entertained. We can’t be greedy, I mean I could but with this pest attached to me I’m limited to doing things. I looked at a toy; it was something I’ve always wanted. A yo-yo.

I grinned and grabbed it along with a few building block toys and stuffed them into my bag. “This should be enough” I nodded and put my gloves and coat on. I stepped outside and locked the door. It smelt moister now. It was definitely going to storm. I looked side to side. No zombies. Damn I was hoping maybe I could do some practicing…

I ignored my thoughts and ran into the same alleyway. I looked right and left again before pushing a large disposal bin away from the wall and staring at the hidden door. I pulled out the key and pushed it into the lock and turned it. I charged into the door to open it. This door has always been fucked up. Once it opened I slid the bin in front of the door again and stepped through the door before shutting it and stepping into darkness.
