The End Of Life Chapter 23

Hearing him, Mona and Denton knew it's going to be a tough one this time and paid completely concentrated on him.
"There are over 40 zombies in the lobby right now." Hearing this both of them sucked in a mouthful of cold air, 40 zombies were too much to handle for them.
"So, now I found a route we can take with the least number of zombies in the way. But even this way will be a very close call to cross. If we make even a single mistake, the zombies will be all over us."
Noticing them listening, Mark continued, "So in the whole lobby the way which has fewest zombies is through the reception desk. If we cross the enormous reception desk in the lobby, we would almost be there. There are only 6 zombies in this entire route, 2 before we reach the desk, 3 behind the desk, and 1 after we cross it."
Mona and Denton continued to listen, "And now this is the plan, we will slowly go one behind another. First Mona, then Denton, last me. I will look at the rear for any of the zombies that might notice us, and Mona will take care of the ones in the way. Denton, you need to look out to the other zombies, if we attract any attention." Said, Mark.
"Is this doable? I mean is this a solid plan." Asked a concerned Denton.
Mark could only shake his head and say, "It is not solid, but it is the only way we have. If it's not this, I am not able to think of any other plan at the moment."
"Let's go with this only." Said Mona.
"Are you sure?" Asked Denton, turning towards her.
"Yes"
"Ok then let's go with this. Mona Be careful at the front and do not make any noise when you kill the zombies." Said, Mark.

Mona nodded with determination and Mark said, " Ok, let's go."
Mona immediately went before Mark near the corner and looked out. She slowly found the desk she needed to head towards and went towards it. Noticing her gone, Mark looked at Denton and motioned him to go. Gulping down his saliva, Denton continued after Mona behind her. Mark followed him after and the three of them slowly made their way.
Mona reached the first zombie in their way and killed it immediately. She was able to catch the body and after setting it down she continued towards the next one right after which was behind it.
Making it a quick kill like the previous one, Mona continued followed by the other 2. Denton gulped once again noticing the 2 dead bodies. Even after observing the bodies throughout the entire stairway, he couldn't get over the fact that it was still a dead body.
Mark continued to look out for the other zombies behind them, noticing for any reactions in the zombies. He could only slowly follow them while still looking out behind them. Mona eventually reached the beginning of the desk. She noticed the three zombies right in front of her and gripped her sword tighter.
She quickly leaped a bit higher and cut the first zombie. As she was getting back to her position, she noticed the body falling in front instead of back. She quickly reached out to the shirt on the zombie and pulled it back, forcing the zombie to move back.
The body moved towards her, and she couldn't bring her arms up to stop it. Denton who was behind her noticed it and quickly stretched out his free hand stopping the zombie. Mona noticed this, supported him, and quietly kept it beside them. She looked up and exhaled in relief as the zombies in front did not seem to catch a whiff of this.

She quietly looked back and thanked Denton. Denton only nodded with a smile and Mona looked back to front. She gripped her sword tighter and slashed at the zombie. As the zombie's body fell on her, she noticed the next zombie was facing her. As the zombie almost growled, Mona could not care about the falling zombie and slashed her sword once again.
The zombie died before it growled, and Mona caught its body. She looked back and noticed the zombie's body falling down. The only sentence which went through her brain, 'OH SHIT'. Denton could not react and the body slowly fell on the floor making noise.
Mona immediately leaped inside the reception desk and caught the zombie nearby on the other side turning towards them. Denton quickly pulled Mark in as he noticed Mona's reaction and all three of them hid below the reception desk.
Mark looked confused at them, but as he noticed the body on the floor and the sorry expression on Mona's face, he understood immediately. He could only shake his head and get inside further. All three of them prayed as the zombie got closer to the reception desk.
After a few seconds, they could hear the growling right above them. Mark cursed his luck for this happening the second time in 2 days for him.

8 182The Hunt
Cecily's blade swung, hitting its mark as always. The man's arm fell to the cold grass of the prison with a familiar thud. He let out a blood curdling scream. A warning to the rest. Stay away, the Hunter is here. That's the name they'd given her, the Hunter. After she cut off the man who tried to rape hers masculinity, they stayed away. She'd made it clear anyone who tried to touch her would be hunted and slaughtered. Cecily kneeled down, pushing the man's face into the dirt so she could use his back as a seat while she trifled through his belongings. "You're hurting my ears," she told him, no remorse in her voice. "Quiet down before I really do kill you."The man but his lip, well aware that she wasn't lying. Sobs shook him, making for an uncomfortable seat. She, however, didn't particularly feel the beed to kill him. It happened, not often, but it did. "Oh, hush up," she hissed, taking out a bag of rations with her metal hand, "it doesn't hurt that bad."With her good, human hand, she dropped the plastic bag of food into her own bag. She pushed up, off the man back. As she was about to walk away, bag slung over her shoulder, brushing against her autumn colored braid, she turned back to him. "Consider yourself lucky," she said, no hatred in her voice, there never was. "Consider yourself lucky that you didn't do anything stupid. And even luckier if one of the scum bagged criminals in here feel a little light in their hearts and help you. Consider yourself luckier if you die there."With that, her old black and white Nike sneakers carried her off into the brush of the huge prison.
