Amanda's POV I looked at Erin and turned away, looking at the other stores. "It's what i'm good at." I mocked her silently. I hated those kinda girls. No matter what situation they're in, they just flirt with the guys. My eyes scanned them mall for any signs of movement. I sighed in relief when I saw none. I leaned against the wall in thought, fingering the butcher knife. "What would cause such an epidemic?" I remembered what Adam had said earlier. That they were... Evolved. I shuddered thinking about those parasites. How could a creature evolve so much that it could take control of other creatures? It stumped me. I turned quickly when I heard a sound coming from the far end of the mall. "Adam... Somethings coming." I said turning to him and Erin. Adam walked next to me and listened. He closed his eyes in cosentration. "It's not safe staying in one spot... We have to keep moving." Erin walked over by Adam and smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and thought. "This isn't the time you slut. I watched in horror as a woman, who's eyes were pure white and her skin an ash gray, came stumbling towards us. ------------------ Ugh i really do hate sluts lol
"God damn it!" I said through gritted teeth. I'm unarmed and Amanda has a butcher-knife. A butcher-knife isn't gonna do the job. "Run!" I yelled. I grabbed Amanda's arms and told her to go. I followed behind her. Erin had high-heels on so she was slow. I was about to follow the motto "don't be a hero," but I'm too much of a good person. Erin fell, so I ran over and picked her up bridal style. I ran and ran, and I was growing weary, until we rounded a corner, and saw a instrument store. "In here!" I yelled. We ran in and I closed the gate thing after setting Erin down. I turned around, and looked over them. We were all fatigued. Well, maybe me and Amanda. "My hero." Erin said seductively. "Shut up!" I said very serious. She looked at me baffled. "Take those damn shoes off!" I yelled at her. Amanda looked at me like she wasn't expecting me to get so angry. I was angry because we were in a life threatening situation, and that Erin girl couldn't pull her head out of her ***. "What now?" Amanda asked, sounding defeated. "We are in a room of blunt objects, and you ask such a silly question?" I said a little sarcastic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dun dun........DUN!!!
Amanda's POV I looked around scanning the shop. Ignoring Adam's sarcasm I picked up a music stand. I heard a snarl and looked to see the woman running towards us. I moved in front of Erin and Adam, watching the woman drawing closer. When the time came I swung the stand and heard a sickening crack. I watched the woman fall, her head in a position that seemed impossible. My eyes never left her corpse as I grabbed the nearest instrument, which happened to be a trombone. Again I watched in horror as the parasite tore it's way out of her throat. It then ran to me and I slammed the trombone on its, I think, head. Black crud squirted out on the floor. I gasped, panting i leaned against the wall. I shuddered and stood back up. "So... Every time we kill a person a parasite comes out from them?" Adam nodded "Seems so and they're not that easy to kill." Erin whimpered "I think I just broke my nail..." I stood ridgid and closed my eyes. "You broke a nail?" I turned towards her. "We're in a life or death situation and all you think about is your nail?!? How'd you survive this long!?!" Erin gave me a dirty look. I looked at Adam who seemed surprised at my sudden burst of anger. I sighed "My sister's dead, we have parasites running around and i'm losing control of my anger... Great!" "Your sister's... Dead?" Erin asked. I nod"Yeah... Probably got killed by one of those freaking... Things!!" I let one tear fall and glanced at Adam. "We need weapons and not any knives... I really think we need axes, maybe some really big knives and hopefully... If we're lucky... Guns." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ just saying my favorite gun is a pistol
Guns...where would we find guns? No gun store in this mall. Well, we will figure out something. In the mean time, I need to find something that'll kill. I looked around, ravaging. I finally came up with something. I grabbed a guitar, and snapped it in half. I then took the butcher-knife and carefully put a straight sever on the top of the fret bar. I looked around and found some duct tape in a drawer in the cashier's desk. I put the butcher-knife in the small compartment, and taped it tightly. Then I looked at my work, and had a blade on a stick. "So...what do you think?" I asked smiling. "Sexy." Said Erin, of course. "Nice." Said Amanda shaking her head at Erin. I lifted the cage up and slowly and quietly walked out. I crept along the wall, checking in stores, and looking closely at everything in them. Erin came up and walked beside me. "Hey." She said trying to get my attention. "What?" I said sounding irritated. "You know, just because we are in this situation, doesn't mean we can't have fun, does it?" She asked, emphasizing fun. "No, we can have fun. I have fun counting the ways I'd kill one of these things." I said smiling. "I meant...FUN." She said thinking I was naïve. "Hmph, maybe when hell freezes over." I said walking a little ahead. It was like it was a challenge for her. I was getting irritated. Pretty soon my blade on a stick was going to be in her head. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OMGOMGOMG What!?
