Time seemed to slow down before her eyes, the guard was screaming even though she couldn't hear what he was saying, she could only look at him, see how he shot something behind her, suddenly Alek got into her line of sight attacking the man, tearing off half of his neck off with a bite. It was as if Ed's mind was disconnected
With the same speed with which he had destroyed the guard, he could see his partner running towards her full of blood. He hugged her and she noticed how all the strength in her legs left her suddenly as if she had never been there in the first place
Looking at her face all the sound came back suddenly overwhelming her
- Eden! Eden please answer me!
- Alek? - She looked at him confused, pain started in her stomach burning her- What has ...?
- We have to get away
Hugging his neck she felt his arms lift her up, taking her princess-like. The expression of suffering on his face showed that, had he been able to cry, he would now be a river. Looking down she saw what her mind was trying to block, there, in her belly, to the left of her navel, a bullet hole was bleeding causing her clothes to turn a dark red.
Seeing that, her mind seemed to wake up, she put a hand to the wound pressing it. She was bleeding more than she wanted, she could feel her head starting to feel lighter
- Alek, stop- she rested her face on his chest staining with the guard's blood
- No, we have to get there- he ran even faster arriving to enter Oviedo- We have to get there ...
- Where? - The trot was burning her- Where do you want to go? Because unless the hospital has zombie doctors willing not to eat me, we have nowhere to go- she clenched her teeth holding the pain- I'm dead, Alek
- Don't say that! - he pressed her even more against his chest- You are not going to die, this is the building where you took refuge, do you remember which floor it was on? - Hitting several infected, he went up the stairs
- I left the door slightly open- her knuckles turned white from the pressure, she could feel the cold sweat running through her- it hurts
- I know, we're here- kicking the door ajar, he went into the house looking from room to room until he found the bed to lay her down- What can I do? You are the doctor
- Nurse- she laughed, squeezing her side even more- I'm a nurse
- For me you are the best doctor in the world- he pulled the hair out of her face- tell me, what should I do?
- The bullet has to stay inside- the breathing was beginning to get difficult- it hasn't hit any important organ but I can't stop the bleeding, even if I remove the bullet ... - a loud moan came out of her throat, Alek had taken it out- me I'll bleed anyway
- Forget it, I accepted you getting back to the human cities- she kept pressing the hole- but I will not accept losing you completely
- Think about it like this, you will no longer have to hack the internet- he touched the hand with which she pressed- I love you
- And I love you- he leaned his forehead against that of the young woman- I hope you can forgive me Ed
- Wha...
Before she could finish the sentence Aleksander kissed her deeply, Eden wanted to push him away in a certain way, but her body refused, she knew that this is where she really wanted to be, and with a soft sigh she grabbed her partner's shirt and returned the passionate kiss
Her head was becoming lighter and lighter, her tongue began to tickle in a strange but pleasant way. The pressure on her wound disappeared as he began to caress her face, relaxing her. She could feel how the blood continued to flow from her body puddling the sheets, she felt how life escaped from her body. But Alek kept kissing her urgently, making soothing circles in her hair. She knew that he would not leave her until she succumbed to the dream that was fighting to take her away and she allowed it, letting the darkness consume her.
