Chapter 3: Dead Friends

{WARNING: THE IMAGE ABOVE OF THIS CHAPTER HAS BLOOD, SO IF YOU HAVE HEMOPHOBIA I SUGGEST YOU TO NOT LOOK AT THE IMAGE}

Apple's POV:

Need to find Lemondrop. Need to find Lemondrop.

I kept repeating myself in my mind just incase I forgot about it. I managed to kill those 'things' that were in my way. I checked almost everywhere in this city to find Lemondrop.

Maybe she's in a construction site?

I went to a construction site that literally has nothing here but bricks, pipes and something like that.

"Pipes... No... Buildings... No... A bow... N- Wait..."

I went over to get a closer look.

Pink bow... Lemondrop must be around here!

I then picked up the bow, put it in my pocket and walked around the construction site.

So far nothing happened here...

I kept on walking and walking. Until I heard a scream.

"Help!" -?

I recognized that voice. It was Lemondrop's voice.

"Lemondrop?" -A

I ran as fast as I can to find her. I ran behind a building just to see her behind those metal gigantic pipes and...

Falafel?

"Apple! Don't come near that zombie." -L

"Wait, zombie?" -A

I turned to Falafel and saw that he has a bloody face. He growled at me and tackled me to the ground, he also scratch me on the face.

That hurt but-

Lemondrop cut my words of thoughts and yelled.

"APPLE! Don't worry, I'll save you!" -L

"No! Stay there, let me handle him" -A

I didn't want to kill him since he is my friend but since he is a 'zombie' or whatever Lemondrop called him, I had to kill him.

"I'm sorry, Falafel." -A

I kicked him and stab him through his mouth to his brain. I was catching my breath and then look at Lemondrop.

"Are you alright, Lemondrop?" -A

"I-I'm alright, what about you?" -L

"I'm fine just a bit sad." -A

We were looking at Falafel's dead body for a second. We then heard those 'growls' from the distance.

"We gotta go, come on!" -A

We ran as fast as we can but god that was horrific, especially a child saw that.

We ran inside an abandoned building right on time and I blocked the door and windows.

"That's should keep them out for a while. Though we need to moved out of this place" -A

I looked at Lemondrop being really terrified of what she saw. I went over to comfort her.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. I'm gonna try my best to protect you at any costs." -A

"B-But you got hurt from the z-zombie." -L

"I may got a scratch from that old fella there but atleast I didn't got bitten!" -A

"I guess that's fair."

We were quiet for a moment till I started asking some questions about her.

"I have some questions to asked you, are you okay with that?" -A

"Y-Yes..." -L

"Okay so um first question, are you bitten by any of those things?"

"No! I don't think I remember a zombie bit me." -L

"Alright next question, why do you called them 'zombies'?" -A

"Can't you tell? They act like zombies. They eat people and then the people they ate turns to a zombie and the cycles continues." -L

"You're pretty smart for a 8 years old. I'm impressed." -A

"Thanks!" -L

"Last question, how did you escaped from them?" -A

"Well it was a long story. Me, mama and papa were just minding our own business when all of the sudden a zombie just burst out the window he growled and jumps on my papa. Papa told me and mama to run and we did as papa said. Me and mama went to grammy and dead grandpapa house. Unfortunately, grammy has turned into a zombie and ran to mama. Mama told me to escaped so I went to a construction site and that's where you found me and the zombie guy." -L

"Breading Christ that's a long story." -A

"Yeah" -L

Lemondrop yawned since she was tired.

"How about you go to sleep, I'll wake you up when we need to leave this place." -A

"Okay." -L

She fall asleep and bread that was kinda a stressful day.
