I sat in the back of the car for what seemed like hours while clean up erupted around me. My head still felt like it was spinning and the smell... God, the smell. I wanted to get up, to go and check on the girl. But I couldn't my body to just move.
Eventually enough time had passed, and all of the undead bodies were gone, the smell going with them.
"Hey," Shilo said softly. I lifted my head up to look at him. There was blood all over him. But it wasn't black, rotten blood. It was hers. "Are you gonna be okay? I can help you to the tower if you want."
I shook my head no, "I'm okay. Is she...?"
Sadness washed over Shilo's face as he slowly shook his head. How did this happen? Everyone was upstairs when I... Everyone but Shilo. I came up without him.
"How?" I whispered.
Shame replaced the sadness on his face.
