INVISIBILE

The two brothers are screaming under the debris that has fallen over them. A piece of wood has stabbing through Tobias' shin, one wrong move and it can go right through it. The two brothers are struggling to life a pole that has fallen down on them. Harry managed to slide down. Using all of their strength they pushed the pole over his head. The piece of wood created a superficial laceration on Toby's shin, he screamed in pain but his brother managed to pull him up and they got into the Elkton Community Library.

Harry put his brother down on the floor and covered every possible entrance to the room that they are in. He took of his belt and put it around his brother's thigh a a tourniquet, Tobias has calmed down and put as much pressure as he can on the wound.

"Med kit...there must..be one"

"Okay"

He looked all over the room and spots a opened med kit. A bottle of hydrogen peroxide, gauze, antibiotics and other supplies. Harry came after finding the supplied. Toby took off his belt and put it in his mouth. Harry then put some of the chemical in a small cup. 'Are you ready?' Harry asked, before Tobias could reply he dumped the peroxide to his wound. He bit his belt in pain and his wound started to fizz, disinfecting it. After that he used some of the gauze and wrapped it around his brother's wound, just to make sure he tear off the sleeve from his shirt and wrapped it around the gauze as another layer.

Toby took off his belt with the indents of his bite, Harry sat down in relief. Toby is covered in sweat and is panting.

"on... only if...the bite...a bite...or infection.... can... be treated by that shit"

"Yeah"

The brothers laughed and chuckled, the horde outside has started to quiet down, the brothers laid down and took a nap. Their little nap turned into a whole sleep, they slept long enough that they have enough energy. Harry woke up because of the buzzing noise outside the building, he looked at his broken watch. 7:12PM. As the two quietly sleeps, Harry is repeatedly nudged by someone. Harry is irritated by it, after a few nudges more he wakes to a barrel right down his face. A person in a hood sits in front of him, he cannot do anything.

"Hi"

"....."

"Do you speak?"

"Mhm"

"Good"

He lifted the barrel and offered his hand, Harry did not accept it. He stood by himself with his whole body aching, as if he undergone a exercise. He looked through the window to see the horde just standing there, looking everywhere. They have spread more than earlier. Their growls, moans, and groans sent a chill down Harry's spine. The person in their with them has built a small tent, he created a bon fire using a pot, on top is come canned food being cooked and water boiling.

Harry looked at his brother's wound and it seemed to have been changed.

"Did you...change his bandage?"

The person put down his hood revealing a young girl.

"Yes"

"So...your name?"

"Natalia"

"Natalia....do you know a way to get out of here?"

She pointed to the ceiling, a massive hole that she apparently made after the explosion earlier in the day.

"You made that?'

"Yes"

"Uhm....so do you have a way to climb on top of that?"

"Rope"

She showed a makeshift rope made from curtains. She gave it to Harry.

"Throw"

"mmkay? Why?"

"I'm small, can't reach"

"Oh..okay that makes sense"

Harry tied the anchor she gave him, he started to turn the rope to accelerate it. He threw it through the hole then he pulled slowly. He pulled and pulled until the anchor got hooked on the edge, he tried to climb it and successfully he got up. He looked down the hole and gave Natalia a thumbs up and she gave him a thumbs as well. He smiled at her but she did not, she only nodded. On top of the library he started to look around him to see any opening that they take to run for.

Any cars that he can see is surrounded by some parts of the horde. He looked over and all of the biters surrounding them are all the same, standing dumbly and quietly. Harry stared at one of them directly in the eye and in him is just wishing that it would start to howl at him. The fact that they do not move adds more to the fear in him, his hands starts to tremble. The one that he is staring at took a step and it was enough for him to trip on his back. Natalia got startled and asked quietly 'sir?', No response from him. She continued to stare through the hole, nothing.

She also started to tremble until Harry appeared, he started to climb down the rope. She sighed with relief.

"Did I scare you?"

*Nod*

"I'm sorry..I di-"

*groan* Tobias got up.

"Oh...why do I taste soot"

"Oh... Tobias"

"Hey...who's that?"

"Natalia...nice to meet you"

"Ohh..why are youuu.... wearing a lab gown?"

Harry just noticed what she is wearing over her clothes.

"Yeah... why do you have that?"

"....."

"I get it if you don't want to answer.. its fine"

*nod*

"You guys have anything to eat? I'm starving?"

Natalia handed him a M.R.E he prepared his meal and devoured it.

"Slow down"

"Here...Water"

"Thank you"

After eating they started to prepare to leave in the dead of night, Tobias told Harry and Natalia everything Randall told him. Seeing the dead just like that made everything much more sense for Harry. Natalia covered the pot to put out the fire, Harry climbed on the of the roof and gave his hand to Natalia, Toby helped bring her up.

"There"

*bang*

"What was that?"

"The door...someone's at the door"

Toby immediately jumped and grabbed on Harry's hand then climbed up. The thing that was knocking at the door started to go faster and louder, until they hear the door go down, Tobias grabbed the whole rope and tied it to bundle around his waist. They looked down the hole once more to see a man slowly approaching towards them, he kicked the pot and the noise ringed throughout the library. The dead came pouring in but seemed to ignore the man standing there. He just stared at them as the dead came pouring in, and out of nowhere one of the dead climbed on top of the room and ran towards them. They were quick enough to dodge, Toby killed it by smashing its head to a pulp.

They looked over down the hole one more and the man is gone.
