The Infected City (Completed))

Chapter 7

I fell to my knees and gasped, out of breath and exhausted, John leaned over Hailey and put pressure on the massive slice down her leg, she squealed in pain as the blood poured out her leg "You're going to be alright" john said pressing harder "John? is it bad?" she cried trying to lift her head "No its fine" he said holding one blood covered hand up

she lay back down, I slowly stood up and pulled the axe out of the infected man I just killed, I walked over and looked at her leg "I'll get some stuff for that" I mumbled, then I walked into the medical room and looked around but then i was faced with the shocking truth "there's nothing left" i mumbled, i ran out to them and looked at john

"there's no bandages left" i whispered, his eyes widened and he looked at hailey "she'll bleed to death! , look for a needle and thread" he pleaded, i ran into the medical room and began searching everywhere, I could see the sun starting to rise and it's rays started hitting different parts of the room, and i seen something glint in the corner of my eyes, i looked over and seen the needle and thread that i used with Piper.

How it stayed in the same place was a mystery to me, i went over and grabbed it and i stuck it in my trousers and ran around looking for some thing to clean it with, there wasnt anything so i ran to back to them and held it up "nothing to clean the wound?" he asked grabbing it "no, nothing we have run out of medical supplies" i said kneeling down beside Hailey "how you holding up sweetie" I asked "I'm cold" she said

"i know sweetie, I'll get you a blanket straight after we make sure you are ok" I whispered, she leaned her head against my chest and squeezed her eyes shut, "I'll do my best" John said before putting the needle deep into her thigh, she grabbed my arm in pain and whimpered letting tears run down her cheek and soak my T-shirt,

I stroked her hair and rubbed her back while watching John at work finally he was finished and looked at his arm "wash this please" he said unwrapping his bandage, I took it from him and ran to the hose then scrubbed it together until his blood drained out of it

I ran back and handed it to John, he smiled and began wrapping the bandage around her thigh "you're going to be fine" I assured her, she nodded and looked at John, who secured her bandage "righto we are done" John said standing up, he scooped Hailey up and set her on her feet "lets see how it affects your walking" he mumbled

I watched as she slowly limped forward, blood dripping down her leg, she squealed in pain and wiped sweat off her forehead "I got this" she whispered to herself before walking forward and slowly she got use to the pain "I'll be fine" she smiled, John touched her back and smiled "good girl" he said, she nodded and walked into the weapons room

I ran my damp hands through my hair and looked around the shelter, all the infected bodies scattered around the ground "we need to start moving, we need to go to that train station" I said realizing that if we spent another day here, we would be either ate or turned into one of those things "we have to use the safety of the light" I mumbled

I looked around a bit more and suddenly remembered Piper and I and how mad I was at her for going back for her ring. "I agree brother, we should leave now" John said making me jump, when I finally calmed my heart down I nodded and looked at the fence "we'll get her back" john said tapping my shoulder, I didn't answer because I knew he was only making me feel better

"Hailey-" I began but when I turned around she was standing in front of me with our weapons and her own "lets get her back" she said cocking her gun, slowly a smile appear on my face, I liked how this sounded.

Hector's POV

"Piper, I can not allow you to go out there, we are still awaiting the arrival of your friends" I said as young Piper walked with me, "just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I cant take care of myself" Piper said moving one of my soldiers out of her way "we need as many women as we can get" I said as we walked into the canteen
