Chapter Twelve

Kayla's POV

I was looking all around me with me with my mouth hanging opened, as I looked at a lot of people. Men, women and children were everywhere in this little mall I guess they were the only survivors of this little place. I couldn't believe my eyes and by the way they were back to their normal color, but I was still astounded by this.

The man laughed "Sorry about that folks we do to new normal people just to scare them a little," the man said between laughs.

I glared though Jasper was the one that spoke up "That wasn't funny. I thought we were done for, but I think mom had a plan," he said that last part looking at me with a smile on his face.

I chuckled "You know it," I told him, but I still didn't take my eyes of the man that lead this group.

He looked at Jasper, and then at me back to Jasper "She's your mother?" he asked Jasper.

Jasper nodded and pointed at Jace "And he's my brother," Jasper told the man, while Jace was looking at Jasper wide eyed. He never expected Jasper to call him his brother, but knowing Jasper he wouldn't mind if Jace was blood related to him. I mean, look at me I'm not related to him and I'm his new mother.

The guy laughed "You think she could have made a plan to get you guys out, if you were really in trouble? No offence, but you're a girl probably no older than sixteen," he told me looking at me.

I glared "Offence taken and I'm seventeen. FYI being a girl or a woman doesn't mean I can't take you down. I don't like being looked down just because I'm a girl. I've kept my group alive for seven straight months without any deaths and then we meant the other groups making me kill a man in a mission. And let me tell you I regret killing him, because he had a son and I'm taking care of him. So, you better watch what you say to me, because I have bigger balls than any men in this place," I was yelling at the top of my voice my eyes blazing red.

"Kayla calm down we all know what happens to you, when you get angry and we don't want that to happen," James yelled trying to calm me down, but it wasn't working and I was feeling my body tremble. "Sam," James yelled again.

I was hearing foot steps walking towards me and I could feel the person behind me. "Sky," I heard Sam whisper my nickname and I felt him wrap his arms around me making me calm down. "Chill, don't go all flames on my," he said resting his head on my left shoulder and I was surprised to not feel any pain on my shoulder, but I felt liquid running down my neck. I raised a hand to my neck and I felt the soft warm liquid on my hand.

I raised my hand to my face and saw the blood on my hands. I gasped "Ciara," I yelled and snapped my head towards her. I was calmed down by now and I was panicking, but I didn't know why. I wouldn't care if I was bleeding, but I care now for some reason.

"Shit," Ciara said and made her way towards me. She dropped her bag and rumbled through it getting what she needed for my open wound. She got the alcohol, gauze and bandages out. "Sit her down," she said and Sam helped me sit on the floor in front of her.

"What's going on?" the man asked us, but neither one of us paid any attention to him. Ciara tilted my head to the side and gently pulled the bandage back exposing my bite mark. "Is that a bite from a zombie?" the man yelled at the look of my bite. The people in the mall were moving away from us, but the men had their guns pointed at us. My group reacted fast. Tyler, Sam, James, Mark, Coach Martin, the other two teachers, and Caleb pointed their guns at them, while Jasper took my shotgun from me and pointed to.

"You shot her and you die," Tyler yelled and I noticed his eyes also changed color from violet to red.

The man looked at them in shock "But she's bit. She'll turn into one of them, so it's better to take care of her now before she turns," the man told them and I laughed.

"Idiot, I was bite like one or was it two days ago? I don't know and besides this is not the first time I've been bit," I laughed and Ciara poured alcohol on my neck making me scream in pain. "Fuck, Ciara, that fucking hurts. Can't you give me a warning before you pour it?" I asked her between my teeth.

She smirk "Where's the fun in that?" she said.

I moaned "Ass," I said to her and she chuckled.

"Love you too," she said and kept cleaning. Ten minutes later and was bandaging my bite. "There the blood stopped for now, but now I need to see your right ankle," she told me, while I groaned and gave her my ankle. I didn't scream on it, because I didn't mind ankle and it gave me the less pain. She got to work on my ankle and it only took her five minutes to wrap it up. "There now everything is done and check," she said, but she didn't check my left arm.

I looked at her a little confused "What about my left arm?" I asked her.

She chuckled 'Sky, you don't have them. They healed on their own," she told me. No wonder I didn't feel any pain, when Sam placed his head on my left shoulder where I was bit.

"Oh," was all I said and got to my feet, which I was tackled the second I was on my feet. I didn't have to see to know it was Jasper who had tackled me and now had his arms around my waist. "Jasper, I'm not dying, but your death grip could probably do the killing," I told him while trying to get my breaths and I felt him loosening his grip.

"What the fuck is going on?" the man yelled still pointing his gun at me.

I looked at him "I suggest that you would put the gun down, if not I will make you and you sure as hell don't want me to do that," I told the man, but then a scream erupted from the guys group. I looked over at where the scream came from and saw a woman on the floor her eyes dead looking. I knew she was dead and was going to become on of them. I got to work "Get the fuck away from the corpse," I yelled at the people around her grabbing my gun from Jasper.

"What the hell are you doing?" the man yelled at me.

I didn't look at him and made my way towards the corpse "What do you think? She's going to turn into a Walker," I said still walking ignoring the little pain from my ankle, but I didn't make it fast enough. The Walker got up and bit the first person that it could grab, which was another woman with red hair and she managed to get away from her but not the infection now running in her bloodstream. I was trying to get a shot, but everyone was running here and there making it hard for me. "People get out of my way," I yelled and my group moved to organize the people, but it wasn't fast enough. I had to choice, but to drop my shotgun and take out the knife from my boot.

I pushed people out of my way towards my group and I helped them organizing without taking my eyes of the infect woman and the Walker. The infected woman wanted to walk towards the rest of the people, but I pushed her back with more strength than I expected making her fly backwards. She landed on her back on the floor. I really need to find out more of what I can do before I hurt some. Everyone was already calmed and my group was in the front watching me incase I got bit again and wouldn't be able to move. I just remembered that only Caleb and Same saw me really not unlike the other, who only saw me fight those two that had come from out of no where.

"Guys keep things in order. I don't want anyone getting in my fight," I told them without looking at them. The woman that I had pushed was getting up, but her eyes were dead meaning she had turned into a walker. I twirled my knife in my hand and walked silently to the first Walker "Hey, bitch," my voice echoed, but the Walker's knew where to go like always they both made their way towards me. I was calm and collected my eyes were still violet. The first Walker was close to me, so I just tackled it like I always did. The Walker's arms tried to get a hold of me, but come on what kind of person would I be if I let her get a hold of me and let take a little taste? I pinned her arms with my legs and raised the knife above my head bring it down with such force that it went through her head, literally. The blood got on my hands, but I didn't care all I care about was killing and that's want I was going to do. I heard the moaning of the other Walker very near making me look up to see that it was right in front of me and reaching for me. "I don't think so," I said and jumped from my position to it making it fall right on its ass, while I just sat on its belly looking down on it.

I sigh "You should have done what I said and get away from the corpse, but no one listens to a seventeen year old girl," I said my voice echoing and I knew everyone heard me. The Walker pulled it upper body up wanting to take a little taste, but I pushed it back down and pinned her arms. I raised the knife above my head again and brought it down getting it between the eyes. And once again the blood got on my hand, but I still didn't care. I was just thankful I didn't get bit this time, because I don't want to throw up blood an hour later. I got up from the Walker pulling my knife along with me and walked towards my shotgun that was lying on the ground and picked it up.

I looked at my group and James, Mark, Jace, Ciara, Coach Martin, and the two teachers looked shocked and just a little pit frighten. "I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it myself," Mark said "You really do walk as silent as the breeze, cool," he said.

I nodded "Yep, that's why they can't hear my foot steps and I have to make noise just to get their attention in my direction. It's such a pain some times," I said and walked towards my group. I saw the group behind them walking backwards. I looked at them "Who else is going to die…," I was starting to say, when I felt that someone was infected. My body reacted on it's on and had the shot gun ready "Who else got bit?" I yelled at the group.

Tyler was next to me "What do you feel?" he asked me looking over the group trying to find the one infected, but he wouldn't be able to until the person infected has turned unlike me, who can sense them.

I scanned the people "I don't know. I'm trying to find it," I said scanning the group again with my shotgun. My eyes fixed on a man that was sweating and his body shook a little, but he was trying to hide it from us or more likely me. "You, sir, come here," I said pointing my gun at him. I was sure he was infected, but he wouldn't move so I made my way towards him. The people made way for me towards the man, but the man took of running for his life either way it was going to end with him turning or killed by me. I ran after him even if my ankle was protesting a little I ignored it. I jumped over things like a ninja and I was in front of him in one minute with him gasping for air. The infection was making its toll on the guy already, he wouldn't last long.

"Please," he begged.

I sigh "You know your infected and you wouldn't tell anyone plus I don't know how the hell you got past my sensor," I told him guiding him over to his group. I looked at the man that lead the group "Dude, tell me your name before I make one up for you," I told him.

He looked at me "My name is Louis Drake," he told me.

I gave him a small smile "Well, since this is your group you make the choice. His been infected by a Walker and his turning the infection is already taking a toll on his body, so what do you want to do?" I asked Louis looking at him in the eye unflinching.

Louis eyes looked like he didn't know what do in a situation like this "I don't know," he whispered.

I sighed and looked at the one infected "What's your name?" I asked him.

He looked at me his eyes looked tired "Samuel Johns," he told me.

I gave him a sad smile, because I knew what I was going to ask him and I just hoped he would pick someone to do it for him not to pick me "You have a choice and I'll give them to you. You can die as one of the Walker's or you can die human it's up to you," I told him and I heard some gasps. Samuel looked like he didn't have much time of humanity left him to fight for he was turning fast.

"Will you do it?" he asked me.

All my hopes went down the fucking drain again "I will if you want me to, but why not one of your friends?" I asked him half curious and half not curious.

He tried to smile, but couldn't "Because they wouldn't do it or couldn't do it is probably a better way to say it," he told me and coughed.

I sigh again "Fine, follow me," I told him and walked towards a bathroom, but not before I threw my gun at Tyler and kept going towards the bathroom without checking if Samuel was behind me. I entered the bathroom and he came in after me. I closed it and took out my other knife I had in the back of my belt.

"I know you don't want to do it," he whispered in a raspy voice. He didn't have long.

I laughed a shaky laugh "You're not the first human to die by my hand, but I will make it as painless as possible," I told him. He turned around and looked at me with sad eyes.

"Go for it," he said and closed his eyes. I wasn't hesitant on his command and for the kill, again. I stabbed on top of his head and he just fell to the floor with a thud my knife still on his head. I went to the body pulling my knife out his head and walked towards the bathroom sink to wash my knife. I stayed inside the bathroom with Samuel's body for a full ten minutes, before composing myself and walking out. I didn't dare look at anyone, because I didn't want to look their face or eyes. I had killed another human being and now my hands are more tainted than before. I walked to a wall and just leaned my back sliding down onto my butt. My head hung low I was being covered by the shade and I was grateful for that.

"Sky," I heard my brother calling me, but I didn't dare look at him. I was scared of what I would see in his eyes and face, because he was the only person I didn't want hating me other than Jasper. I didn't want to see the repulsion from his or the disgust of me for having killed the man. I loved my brother more than my life and I would do anything for him even get bit for him just to save him.

I felt his arms wrap around me and pulling me into his strong warm body "Sky, you did the right thing and you gave him a choice, which he decided upon himself," he told me in my hair.

I buried my face in his chest "I have kill two innocent men, Tyler. They were killed by my hands and my hands are now tainted with human blood not Walker's blood," I told him feeling tears in my eyes, but I didn't hold them back.

Tyler sat next to me and pulled me onto his lap placing his chin on my head. "That's it just let it all out, Sky. I'll hold you," he said and kissed my head, while I cried silently not wanting for the others to hear me. But I had a feeling they knew that I was crying and I didn't care. I still cried silently. I held onto Tyler life I would die without him or his hold. I cried until I fell asleep in his arms.
