CHAPTER 2 THE FIRST BLOOD DROP

Everyone needs to rest we have all had a really long day. Rest for now, tomorrow we plan what next.

This was around 8 pm, I was relaxed since Mercy had already done the apology part. "Goodnight everyone," Judy said. Goodnight too Judy. The night was smooth, no disturbance from the zombies, we at least 80 percent knew we are safe, we knew we are at a home where there is less danger.

Good morning people, wakey wakey, hey people come on, it's already seven in the morning, the sun is out shining bright, you ain't no babies at all.

Everyone had to wake up so we may start a new day. Life wasn't easy, we were lonely, not seeing anyone else apart from your three other mates, but what choice did we have?

Ok, everyone, listen up, today we will be moving out to any places to look for fuel, more food and even for survivors, we need to look for left over materials and try to build up a new home here, we need to learn to survive since this is our new life and we have to cope with that. So after breakfast, we will be leaving.

My mates seemed bored but we had no choice, if you stayed relaxed, you wouldn't survive in that kind of environment. "Ok, noted," Judy said tirelessly.

At around 9 am everyone was set and we were all ready to leave and start the day. Get in, we have to beat the curfew remember, we need to get back here as early as possible.

"Damn, where did everyone go, this is really messed up," Pinky asked.

"Probably dead," Judy added. I know there are survivors out there like us and we will get to them one day. Ok everyone focus outside we will be collecting and picking everything that could be useful, metals, plastics name them.

We got a certain old building that seemed like an old factory, we had to check it out. Be careful people, that's a rule you shouldn't forget.

We got inside the building, there were zombies some tied up like slaves groaning and ready to chew anyone who got close to them.

We gathered all we needed, we were lucky I can say that, we found a variety of things, be it old bicycles, water pump etc. Now it was time to head back to where we called home, we were only the three of us, only Judy and Mercy were with me, Pinky was nowhere to be found.

"Help! Help!" we heard someone shouting from one of the rooms in the old factory, he sounded like Pinky as he always had a deep voice. "Pinky is that you? Where are you?" Mercy called out. "I am here come help me, bit." Pinky responded. We had to get to him as fast as possible.

When we arrived we found an ugly ass zombie on Pinky's right arm, his arm was covered in blood. Mercy throw the gun at me. I shot the zombie and ran towards Pinky, tore my shirt and tied his arm, he was in pain, veins all over his face, i felt sorry for him.

Mercy you know what we got to do or he is going to turn into one. I explained to Mercy far away from Judy and Pinky to avoid panicking.

"What are you talking about John,what is that we got to do?" Mercy asked.

We have to chop off his arm Mercy to avoid the spread, or else he is going to turn.

"Does he have any idea of what you are about to do to thim?"

No, but i will talk to him, but we got to hurry up before it's too late.

Hey man, Pinky, Hey look at me, there is something you need to know brother, I know this will be difficult to hear but that's all we can do for you right now. We will have to cut off your arm or you are going to turn into one of those things.

"What, you going to cut my arm off, there isn't any other way, how am I going to survive with one arm?" Pinky cried to me. Listen man we are running out of time, I have to do it, agreed?

Judy couldn't watch it, in fact she started puking. Ok man this is going to hurt. "Just do it Godamit." Pinky shouted at me.

Alright Mercy, hand me the blade. I was afraid, but no one else could do it.

I stuck a wood across Pinky's mouth and chopped the arm off. He cried loudly, we had to shut him up cause noise also attracted the rotters "zombies". I dressed up his wound to make sure couldn't cause other infections.

Help me get him in the car we need to leave this place as fast as possible to avoid any other trouble. We had to drag Pinky to the car since there was no one strong enough to lift him up apart from me, he was so heavy, guess he used to be paid a lot when he used to be the CEO before the apocalypse.

Everyone got into the car, people were silent, no one expected such a thing could happen, Pinky was now asleep, we had found him some herbs to ease the pain. We were remaining with only three hours to get to where we call home, so we had to hurry up to avoid unnecessary misery.

" John, I think he will some drugs to help him heal, he can't be stable with only the herbs," Mercy suggested. So, what do you suggest we do or go? "I saw a pharmacy while we had gone to the old mall to pick some food, it isn't far away, we can make it in one hour." She added.

I couldn't say no to what Mercy was suggesting, since we were all family, and since Pinky was one of us, we had to do this for him before getting home, I had to take the risk for him. Ok do you remember the place? "Yes, I can remember pretty well, just drive."

"He is seizing, what do we do?" Judy asked. Ok open his shirt he needs enough air circulation. At this moment Judy and Mercy were reminding me after every two minutes that I have to drive faster, my hands started getting sweaty. "There, turn right!" Mercy shouted. "I will go find some drugs for him, I used to work in a chemist after my college education." She added.

Mercy rushed inside the building to find the drugs we needed, how is he doing Judy? "He is ok, the seizing has stopped for now I guess."

Mercy we got to go, we have one hour until curfew, so hurry up. Mercy came out running with some old brown back pack. Found the drugs? "Yes, lets go, drive steadily, I need to give him the dose. We had only twenty minutes to get to where we were going, if we did not make it in time, the walkers "zombies" would cause us trouble.

We had two kilometers of distance to us destination, the time remaining couldn't allow us to arrive on time, so we had to be prepared for the worse. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! That was the sound of the walkers groaning.

"John, do you hear that?" Yeah, I do hear them they are here. Ooh my God, do you see what I am seeing in front of us? What were we going to do? We had never been in such a situation. The whole road was blocked.

What was waiting for us at our front! Well, you can guess that.
