Shukashima POV

**********************

I stared at the hybrid for a moment, trying to understand why he ignored Veronica and headed towards the room Bridget was in.

"Shukashima that hybrid,I think it eats it's fellow x-victims, that's why it after Bridget"Veronica said running towards the hybrid and and sliced off it's leg.

The hybrid got to it's knees but still tried crawling towards us.

The hybrid being defenseless,I walked towards it and took off it's head.

It's body was still shaking but only for a moment then it ceased.

"How did you know it was after only Bridget"I asked Veronica.

"Well after I saw the hybrid eating it's kind and ignoring me,I knew it was only after x-victims,and since Bridget was bitten by one she is turning into a x-victim so it was definitely after her"Veronica replied and I was lost in thought.

It was quite amazing that even in a dreadful situation her brain can still think fast enough to create a solution.

We went into the room and Daniel almost attacked us.

"Dude what are you doing"I asked.

"Sorry though you were those things"he replied.

Veronica walks towards him to kissed his cheek..."take it easy ok"she said.

I walked towards Bridget,she was in pain.

"We need to rest, tomorrow we will head back to get your brother"I said to Veronica.

I went beside Bridget and sat down next to her.

Daniel and Veronica slept together in a corner of the room.

I couldn't sleep that moment.

I kept thinking about what will happen to Bridget...what if I can't save her.

Suddenly I remembered about what happened to my father.

The thought of the same thing happening again made tears roll down my eye.

Bridget then called my name.

"What's the matter"I asked her.

She looked at me and smiled,she slowly raised her hand and wiped off the tears from my cheek.

"I know how you feel and am sorry for putting you in Soo much grief"she said.

I stared at her and felt even more pained.

"I know you feel pity for me but I chose to save you,I knew what would happen,so please don't worry about me... to be honest I know there is nothing anyone can do to save me right now but I accept it"Bridget said and smiled at me.

She held my hand and told me..."when the virus takes full effect on me tomorrow, please be by my side"she said and fell right to sleep,I think she is just tired.

I couldn't help but let tears pour down my eyes.

I quickly got up and went towards the window in the room.

"Why does all this have to happen to me"I said to myself.

I looked up to the sky and thought of my mum...

What if I don't complete my mission I won't be able to see her again.

Suddenly I felt someone's arm on my shoulder,I turned and saw Veronica.

She saw how worried I looked and laughed at me.

"You know if you keep up with this sad looks of yours,you may get wrinkles before I do"she said trying to cheer me up by teasing me and it kinda worked.

I smiled and told her I wasn't keeping a sad face,that's how I look.

"Look Shukashima I know you are worried about Bridget,we all are,you shouldn't think too much about this ok,get some sleep"Veronica said and went back to where she was lying down.

I smiled and went back to Bridget's side and fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up feeling quite refreshed.

"Hey sleepy head...ready to get going"Veronica said to me

I got up took my blade and looked at Bridget...I knew tonight would be the last night for her,so I had to hurry and make sure I'm back before then.

"So how do we get back to the city...there is no bridge at the cliff"I asked Veronica.

"There is a train that leads from this town to the city, hopefully if it still works you can use it to get to the city"Daniel said...."The train should be at the towns station...it's just some blocks away"he added.

Veronica kissed Daniel on the lips and we headed for the station. I never knew they were dating. Wow.

We got to the entrance of the hospital, Veronica first peeped outside to see if any x-victims were near by, after seeing the coast was clear we came out and walked down the street.

"Hey Veronica don't you think we should run to get there quicker"I suggested but Veronica said if we run we could alert any x-victim near by and the last thing we want is a bunch of x-victims following us.

I agreed with her and we continued walking.

We got to the second block and saw the station just a few buildings away.

"Finally,let's hurry Veronica"I said, grabbing her hand and running towards the station building.

We got to the station building,it's electricity was still ok.

There were dead rotten bodies there but we ignored it and went on to find a train.

We found a train but the door was rusted and didn't move so we had to break it to get in.

We got to the drivers section of the train but we needed the key to start it.

"Shit now what do we do...we can't hot wire a train"I said to Veronica..."we simply look for the key you dumbass...let's check the station building it should be by the counter"she said.

We got back into the station building,went to the counter and searched for the keys.

We saw the counter attendant dead on the floor...she had most of her organs pulled out of her body and some were eaten.

I moved her body aside and opened the drawers in the counter...we saw some keys and took them all to the train.

"So which one is the key"I asked Veronica.

"Well the train has a number, check if any key matches the number"she replied.

I checked the number of the train and began to look for a matching key.

The number on the train was 223 and I found a key with the same number.

We went into the train and started it.

"Wait do you know how to ride a train"I asked Veronica and she just smiles and said "well there is a first time for everything"...I almost peed my pants when she said that. It was a manual train.

I began to hear some snarl coming from the back of the train.

I peeped outside and saw some x-victims heading toward the train.

"Uhhm Veronica...you might wanna step on it"I shouted.

Veronica hasn't driven a train before so didn't know how to make us move.

The x-victims caught up to the train and I started slicing them one after the other.

"Veronica hurry up"I said.

She yelled back at me saying she is trying to make us move.

I kicked out the x-victims trying to get in through the door.

"There is a lever by your right push it forward slowly"I said to her and after some seconds the train began to move.

I lashed at the x-victims trying to hang on cutting off there arm.

"Ok am getting tired of killing these things"I said and sat on one of the seats in the train. Panting out of exhaustion.
