6. Survivors

Marie's POV:

I back the truck up to the entrance to Wal-Mart then park. I turn the truck off and glance at Zander. He's passed out and looks like he's sick. Sucks for him.

As I open the door all types of scents hit my nose so hard I flinch. Death scent welcomes me. Great. A bunch of zombies to kill. Im gonna guess around a hundred or a little more. Its gonna take me a few minutes.

I pop my nuckles then walk into Wal-Mart. The floor is covered in blood and merchandise ripped up. I would've hated to be here when the zombies hit. What a shame? I think to myself as I stalk the crowd of walking corpses before me. Licking my lips I run for it.

If anyone saw what I was doing they'd crap themselves. I rip through these zombies so effortlessly and inhumanly. I'm a beast. Smiling as I dismember probably the hugest guy I've ever laid eyes on. For fun I start with taring his arms off then grab his jaw with both hands, one hand on his bottom teeth, the other hand on his top teeth, and easily rip his jaw off then use his bottom jaw to go straight through his brain. Oh silly me. I'm getting creative. For some reason I have a sinister urger to kill these creatures in unique ways. Hell its the end of the world might as well go crazy and embrace what I am.

I'm a blur so quick and percise with every move. Blood everywhere. It's just so easy to kill them and makes me feel good. Im making it my mission to put down as many as the undead as I can. Hopefully one day there will be no zombies around if the people left behind can hold up enough fight till then maybe this world isnt lost.

Quickly I'm out of zombies to kill and hear two heart beats coming from the bathroom. Hmmm...interesting. Two people survived this...mess. I wonder if I should just drink them dry? No! I blink and feel conflicted. All this killing is making me different, darker. I need to help these humans survive so I can survive. Be smart Maria. Your the only Vampire in the world full of zombies you'll die as soon as the last human does.

I walk around admiring my work. I'm so good at killing these things it makes me feel....hmmm I don't feel nothing now that I think about it just hungry. So hungry. I wish I could lick all the blood on my body off but i can't risk it. I don't want to turn into a zombie or end up killing myself from the blood. Theres really no telling what the blood would do to me unless I drink it but I'm not that desperate and hope I never will be. I shake those thoughts away and my mind wonders about ZanderOh

I run to the truck to wake Zander. "Wake up. There are two survivors in the womens bathroom. They don't know we are here yet. What do you want to do? I'm curious to hear your opinion."

Zander's POV:

My heart pounds in my chest looking at Marie covered in blood, so much its terrifying. In the same breath she's mesmerizing I'm hooked like a junky. Damn she's too beautiful.

I snap out of my thoughts as she stares at me intensely waiting for an answer. "I'll talk to the survivors while you clean up. Let's keep you being a Vampire a secret till we know we can trust them." I say stretching. My body aches while I have a huge throbbing migraine.

"Okay fine with me. I will also take care of the corpses so take a lil time to yourself before you talk to the two survivors." Marie says then is out of my sight before I can say anything. I tremble as I smell death around me. Fear runs through my veins as I get out of the truck and see Marie a blur throwing bodies in a pile so fast. Its amazing how she can move so fast. The movies had vampires wrong. Their faster than you think. Shes so fast by the time I'm able to walk into Wal-Mart shes already setting the bodies on fire while wiping herself off with a towel.

I walk around feeling as if im a zombie myself and not really here. I gasp as I look around at all the blood and flesh everywhere. So many people. Why? Why did this have to happen?

I wipe the sweat off of my forehead and head to the weapons department. I grab a random buggie then grab the first knives in sight. I get one out of the package and throw the package on the ground then use that knife to open more knife packages. I toss the knives into the buggie and repeat till theres no more left to grab. Next I head over to the guns. I grab guns and set them in the buggie. I only grab like 10 guns then look at the tags and find bullets for them. I make sure to get all the amo for the guns. Oh crap I need to see who's in the womens bathroom I almost forgot.

I push the buggie to the bathroom and take a riffle out and load it. Then I nock on the bathroom door. "Is anyone in here?" I yell feeling an adrenaline rush. My hair moves on the back of my neck and I catch my breath as Marie appears beside me. She's already cleaned and changed. She's wearing cowgirl boots, tight blingy blue jeans, camo shirt, and black leather jacket. Shes got rings on every finger, two gold dangly earring shining with diamonds, and two gold and daimond choker necklaces on. Shes iced out and I can't help but stare at her like a lost puppy. She looks like shes a rich cowgirl slash gangster and sexy as hell.

"Yeah is it safe?" A woman says shakily. I don't even want to talk. I don't even want to blink. Im star struck. "Yes come out we won't hurt you." Marie says kindly. Her voice makes me shake. Im overwhelmed.

The door slowly opens as a woman and a child walk out slowly shaking with fear. Both the woman and child have swollen faces from crying. I feel so bad for them but glad they're okay. It nice to know that theres still people alive. "Are you two okay?" I ask breaking the silemce between us. "For now yes. Thank you for saving us." The woman says then quixkly wipes tears from her eyes. "No problem. Grab a buggy or two and fill them up with what you think you need to survive and meet us up front. You can take your time. We are in no hurry to go anywhere." Maria says then the woman and child shake their heads yes. Before they can say anything Marie walks off. She's not one for conversation rightnow and I feel the same way.
