"Wha..."
Mathew blinked his eyes a few times while stepping to the back. Yet, he was forced to quickly stop his retreat when pulling on the handle of his saber proved not to do anything.
'I can't pull it out?' the young man thought. Blinded by the light that exploded from the zombie's eyes, he couldn't even see the reason why his saber was stuck.
Yet, in this tense moment, Mathew had no other choice but to swallow his pride and let go of his weapon, taking several steps to the back before the zombie could do one better over him.
"Mathew!" Nadia shouted from the side. From the few sounds that remained in the area after Mathew's group cleaned most of the zombies out, the young man could tell that she was sprinting... But where?
'Can she even see me?' he thought, taking yet another step to the back. "Stay away!" Mathew then shouted, unwilling to let the girl risk her health in a haphazard attempt of helping him.
