"Zack!!", aunt Vera yelled, as the black dude turned to the zombies, he held his bloody knife firmly as the zombies charged at him.
At first they were all headed for him but then one turned to me and another aunt Vera, "Zack!!!!", Aunt Vera yelled, "f_ck!", He exclaimed as he pounced on one stabbing repeatedly at randomly places as it screamed and growled, and then he received a hit from the other which sent him flying without any resistance till he got to the ground, and the one responsible for the hit went for him, and the other he stabbed continued growling on the floor.I knelt beside lifeless Mr March, with tears still rolling down my cheek as the one who approaching me earlier stood there looking at me, his expression was that of confusion, he seemed to be contemplating, I picked out my knife from my leg where it was strapped, in rage and sorrow, I faced it and without a second thought, I charged towards it, I jumped up and gave it 3 stabs on it's his eyes and forehead respectively, I landed on the ground and turned to the one aunt Vera had been trying to shuu away with one of the fire sticks. "Zack!!", She continued calling and crying, I turned to uncle Zack who laid unconscious on the floor and the zombie Infront of him about to dig into his body.I guess they are all going to get what they deserve after all, "Derick!!", Aunt Vera cried aloud, I turned to her and realized the zombie had disarmed her, I felt pity and ran towards her still with my knife, I did a quick spin with it, putting the knife's handle up and it's sharp body downwards as I jumped towards the zombie holding the knife with both hands, I pushed down on it as I came down, "sh_t!", I exclaimed missing it's head, the knife landed on it's shoulder due to a last second movement it made.I was hit, a hit so hard it sent me flying, luckily for I and uncle Zack I flew and hit the zombie about to eat uncle Zack who was still on the floor uncouncious, and it helped reduce the intensity of my fall, we both landed on the ground, I and the zombie I hit.My knife was still on the other one's shoulder, so I was armless as it walked towards me, ignoring aunt Vera, the one I hit stood up as well still obviously going to come for me. I on the other hand was still on the floor watching all of these and recovering from the hit. I looked forward and in my front of me was Mr March, whose blood had created a little puddle for him, and still strapped to his waist was his arrows, I picked myself up and rushed towards his pack of arrows taking two, holding one on each hand, the both turned to me still walking at the pace they had always been, I ran towards one, this time I was watchful of its fast swinging hand, and so successfully avoided it, on dodging, I jumped and pushed the arrow through it's eyes.I landed and immediately I ran away to watch it hopefully die and avoid a hit from the other, the one I put an arrow throw it's eye had began to scream and hold it's head, the now known to be normal way they behaved before dying, leaving me with just one, I turned to it and watched as it ran towards me, at this speed and agression, one hit on me and am certainly a goner, but so is it.I waited as it ran towards me, I held the arrow firmly, and when it was close enough, I threw it at it, aiming for it's eyes with all the might I had, and then I closed my eyes because it was just before me, it speed remained unchanged.I opened my eyes and saw it on laying dead on me, the collision must have knocked me out. I had sustained some obvious bruises all over my body, I turned to the side and saw aunt Vera sitted next to Uncle Zack and trying to wake him up. After all I had done, she still didn't care if If I died.I struggled out of the heavy monster which laid lifelessly me, I took my knife out of its shoulder and strapped it back to my leg. I walked to the old man's corpse, I couldn't help but cry some more, I unstrapped the leather bag where his arrows were kept, same went for the bow, I looked at aunt Vera and uncle Zack once again as she continued calling his name ushering him to get up, I walked away, climbing up the ladder, I was going to tell Mrs Claire what had happened, as well as give her Mr March's necklace.I walked till I got to his house and I stood in front of the door for a moment as I thought of what exactly I was going to tell her, "March dear! Is that you?", I heard her ask aloud, "March!", she called again, this time with a shade of fear in her voice, and then I walked in, "oh Derick, it's just you... it's just you! Where March?", she asked looking outside, "why are you with his bow?", she added and I remained quiet, at this time she had already started crying and so was I as brought forth his necklace, "no!!!", She screamed as she walked closer, "not March too!", She said as she collected the necklace from my hand.I stared at her for minutes as she sat on the floor crying and resting her back against the chair, and all I could about was how to get back at uncle Zack and aunt Vera, "first it was my son, may, and his family, his wife, Valerie, my grandson and granddaughter, June and April, they all died in this zombie invasion, leaving I and my husband alone in this world, it has just been us, now he's gone", she cried in pain, "no!!!! March!!! Take me with you!", she cried some more, I stood there not knowing what to say or do, so I just remained there crying with her.To be honest I have no reason for going back, I guess I should just stay here with the old lady, and help her defend herself, fill in the space that her husband has left behind."Mom's necklace!", I exclaimed, shocked to not find it on my neck, it must have fallen off in the hole or along the way, I have to go look for it, "I'll be right back!", I said to the old lady and was on my way back to the hole, I searched, looking at the ground on my way back home, if it fell along the road, I did this till I got to the front of the hole, there I stood and asked myself if I should or shouldn't go in.if I stay any longer, I'll have aunt Vera and Uncle Zack to answer to, so I climbed down, "where are you coming from?", Aunt Vera asked as I walked in, "I went to give Mrs Claire Mr March's necklace", I replied, "and that's why you left", Uncle Zack who had a rag on his bleeding head said as he looked at me.I personally wasn't paying attention to them, I just wanted my necklace, once I get that, am out, and out for life, so while they talked and asked their usual questions, I had my eyes fixated on the ground, "what are you looking for?", Uncle Zack asked noticing the way I looked at the floor, "your might and courage exceeds that of a ten year old, I discovered what you did, single handedly killing the 3 zombies that trespassed your home, am impressed and for that reason you feel you are old enough to survive alone", he added as he brought out mom's necklace and raised it up my eyes glowed on seeing it, "isn't this what you want", he said, my eyes became fixed on him, "it's okay sweetie", he said to aunt Vera who had been using a rag to wipe blood off his head, and then began to walk towards me, "let me tell you a secret, you see this necklace", he said raising it up, he watched as I looked with curiousity, "the soul of your mum is trapped here, and with this and only this, you bring her back", he said as he got closer with his intemidating height, "please give it to me", I said to him, "when you are man enough, I will, but for now you going to stay with us and grow", he replied smiling like a demon.I saw this and was about running off, when he pulled me back and pushed me on the floor, "for the first time, I didn't hit your for disobeying, I thought you've out grown this childish behavior of yours", he said as he walked towards me, I really wished this guy was one of these monsters, I probably would have put a knife through his head by now, but what's really stopping me, after all he killed innocent Mr March, he is as bad as the monsters if not worse even, "since you want to act like a child you would be treated as such", he said as he approached me who was still on the floor, "arghhhh", I said as I brought my knife out, and charged towards him, "Derick!", aunt Vera screamed, "temper!", He said as he dodged the attack smoothly, delivering one of his on my chest.I fell to the ground, just beside the snakes hole, "you want to kill me now, amazing, I'll make sure I beat you till you can't even hold a knife", he said as he approached more violently.I quickly ran into the hole, crawling as fast as I could when he grabbed my leg, "get over here!", He said and pulled me back, I tried to grab anything I could but it was pointless, the entire place was made of dirt, nothing solid, I finally grabbed a rock held by the ground, he pulled harder and the rock came with me.On getting out of the hole, I threw dirt in his eyes and rushed towards the ladder, "you!", he said and pulled me back to the ground, "help!!", I screamed as he lifted the knife about to stab me, when we heard someone scream, "stop!!".to be continued....
