Pov. Dominic
I push those bodies from above me and when I see the blood in me and all those people and the decaying corpses around me I scream and I feel my body tremble, I look around seeing that I am in a forest where there were only bodies with disfigured faces and worms coming out of the eyes, mouth and nose, the smell of rotten flesh taking over the place making the act of breathing unbearable and a lot of blood, I look at my hands seeing the blood in them and I look at my body seeing that I am totally covered with blood. So I run without knowing where to go, I don't know how long I ran through the forest, but when I see a road, I decide to go through it. I try to remember where I am and how I came here, but all I can remember are blotches, needles and distorted faces. I continue down the road and see a sign further on with the name "welcome to Columbus ". I see tall buildings further ahead and guess looking around, I keep walking through the empty streets finding all this very scary and I see a square with a water fountain, I run there almost falling down and I go inside it washing myself how can I take all that blood, I feel disgusted and scared at the same time when I see the water getting dirty and I scream feeling dizzy, I try to calm down and finish cleaning myself, when I hear a strange groan, I look around and I notice a little pup of Siberian husky limping, I leave the fountain and I go to him, I approach him slowly so as not to scare the animal, I try to gain his confidence little by little and when I see that he is more comfortable, I take him on my lap and analyze his body in search of some injury, but all I find is a thin and small piece of wood nailed between his fingers, holding his neck under my arm and pushing the piece of wood and then hugging the animal that struggled scared and whining in my arms.
- Calm little friend. - I say quietly listening to him beat without stopping.
I hope he calmed down, when he is quieter, I put my fingers between the hole in my shirt and tear the cloth, then I bandage the dog's paw carefully and then I take him in my arms and walk again through the streets without strange direction the fact that everything is silent and calm, but I continue my way, when I see a lot of strange people walking strangely while coming out of an alley, I stop and observe their faces noticing that there was nothing normal there.
Is it Halloween today ?
There's something wrong here.
This doesn't smell good to me.
- Hey, because everyone is dressed as zombies, is it some kind of zombie day party ? - I ask myself as I approach a woman and touch her shoulder.
When I touch her shoulder, she turns around and I feel my heart speed up, this has no makeup, I take several steps back with her coming after me and I scream for help.
- Help ! - desperate scream holding the dog firm. - Madam, I have a dangerous dog in my arms and I am not afraid of use - lot. - I say nervous but she doesn't care.
I avoid it and run, I see the other zombies moving behind me and I try to run even faster, I end up tripping on my own and I play on my side not to hurt the dog, but with the impact on the ground I end up releasing it.
Shit.
It hurts !
I get up as fast as I can and take the dog that barks towards the zombies, I see that my arm is bleeding, but I ignore this and run again with the dog.
When I get further ahead I see a hired car I try to open the door, but it is locked, so I go towards another one and in it there is a zombie trapped, scared jump almost having a heart attack and dying to facilitate the work of the zombies to catch me. I hit the bottom and then I go to the other one and the door to this one is unlocked, but when I go in I hear a noise coming from the direction I came, I look quickly at the sound and I see an army car that makes my head hurt and a loud ringing in my ears, I fall to my knees on the floor feeling my body tremble and all I see afterwards are flashes of memory.
* Flashback On
- General, Dominic ? - asks a man in doctor's clothes.
- Yes ? - I question it kind of groggy.
- How are you feeling ? - he asks and I cannot see his face normally nor what was around me, everything was distorted.
- My head hurts a lot. - I answer feeling my heart speed up.
I begin to suffocate and he asks them to bring the oxygen, I look around feeling my body trembling and without strength, I close my eyes and when I open them again I see the man with a needle in his hand while another one put the oxygen in me, the man applies the liquid in my veil and seconds later everything starts to get dark.
Flashback Off *
- Hey, girl. - I hear a voice calling me.
I raise my head and look forward to seeing a tall woman with blue eyes and light brown hair tied ina coke under the beret.
- Careful. - he says shooting at something behind me, so I turn quickly and see four zombies falling behind me.
- General, there are many of them here, we have to go. - says a man with a light beard, blonde hair and green eyes coming out of the vehicle with some grenades in his hand and then looks at me and his face turns pale and then he approaches me.
- What was major, Hunter ? - asks the woman but he ignores her and sticks in front of me.
- Dominic ? - she questions with her eyes full of tears leaving me confused and then hugs me.
- She is your sister, but she had not died on a mission ? - asks the woman and I push the man.
- I don't know you. - I say and then I get up and run with the dog in my arms.
- Dominic, wait, I am your brother. - the man shouts, but I don't care, I keep running.
I keep running through the middle of the zombies hearing the noise of the shots and out of nowhere I feel something hitting my leg making me stop, I look at my thigh and it has a red poke slightly nailed, I pull the object and play on the ground.
- Okay, he was kind to you, but I am not, so I do not care that you do not want to talk to your brother or any family matter, but you will come with me to a safe place. - says the woman of minutes ago with her voice a little hoarse.
I look at her who puts me against the car door then puts a handcuffs on my injured arm and then does the same with her, I feel my heart accelerate and the headache get even stronger, the ringing in my ears get stronger than before, my legs weaken and when I am going to fall I am supported by the woman.
- Are you hurt ? - he asks holding my chin with one of his hands.
- In addition to the penknife that you hit me ? - I question her mockingly and she half her eyes.
- The dog. - I say feeling my vision blur.
- Girl, stay awake. - ask more all I see is the darkness and the dog barking away.
