Chapter 15

They were screwed. They had no guns, no radio.

"Maybe we should have thought this through before we got rid of all our guns, left our vechile and got lost." Zoey said as the voice of reason.

" Funner this way." Ellis said. " If this was a video game this would be like a boss level.

Ellis rapidly was adjusting to being infected. He and Zoey were looking in a subway for a map of the area.

They saw several infected. Using claws they killed them easily.

" Damn. Being a zombie kicks ass!" Ellis said.

" Safe room sign." Zoey said in monotone. They were looking for a safe house but most have been destroyed.

They heard banging from somewhere down the tracks. The ground felt like it was shaking.

" Tank!" Zoey yelled. A tank ran out of the darkness.

" Why couldn't I become that." Ellis yelled.

Zoey ran with a scream and started clawing at the thing. It felt pain as her claws scraped and sliced it's skin. Blood leaked out of it's wounds.

It managed to grab her by one of the legs.

"Shit!" It flung her towards on of the walls.

She slammed against the wall hard.

The tank thought she was dead. It smashed it's arm against the floor in victory.

The ceiling collapsed. The tank was buried from the rubble. Zoey tried to get away from the falling debris.

" Shit!" She yelled. Her left arm was stuck beneath the rock. " I don't think this is going to come out."

Zoey started screaming.

" Shit, shit, Shit!" Ellis yelled. He tried desperatly to free her. He couldn't move any of the rock.

Zoey was trying to get her arm out. NO matter how hard she pulled.

They couldn't stay. If they stayed infected might find them.

" My bag." Zoey panted.

Ellis scrambled to her bag and looked in it. Inside was some adrenaline and some sort of portable iron. Ellis started it up.

Ellis injected her with the adrenaline.

Zoey felt some of the pain go away.

She raised her hand.

With a sickening swish she took off her own arm.

Her screams filled the subway.

He took the iron and slammed it onto the wound. It sizzled and hissed.

She kept screaming.

When Ellis took off the iron she was unconscious. He took the empty med kit he had and looked through it's contents.

There was a few painkillers and bandage.

He took the bandage and wrapped it around the stump of her arm.

He saw her face grimace in pain.

"It'll be okay." Ellis said. He kissed her on the forehead and grabbed her.

She was slung over his shoulder, like a sack of potatoes. Being slow and gentle wouldn't get them anywhere.

He walked. He followed the safe room signs. Graffiti indicating one was near.

He passed my several common infected.

One lunged.

Some part of him became primal. He let out a fierce growl. It was like he was warning them if they dare they'd be killed.

He finally saw the safety of the door.

He heard her mutter something.

" Please love me." She mumbled still asleep.

Ellis found it to be a big saferoom. It looked like someone took a gun factory and fortified it.

He noticed the place had power.

He put Zoey on a bed he found in a break room. He watched her, not daring to move until she woke up.

He was half asleep when she woke.

He jumped over to her.

" I love you." She said simply before kissing him.

One of my reviewers said there should be a chapter when Zoey should have to rely on Ellis. Nice idea.

How do you like Zoey missing an arm. I realized Zoey was overpowered and with Ellis with her she would be unstoppable.

I think my love scene was bad. I'm not ment for a scene like that.

If half of my reviewers hate Zoey losing an arm I will change that.

Please review. It makes me feel good.
