Chapter thirteen

My eyes widened and for a split second, I thought the whole world had paused. I looked at Brandon to see his expression but instead, he had a smirk on his face.

Just then, I saw the zombie choking and falling to the ground. I got more surprised when he got up and shook himself and kept muttering about how the zombie ruined his shirt.

Brandon and Senah had just finished off the last set of zombies when I became myself again.

"Let's keep going before more zombies come. I don't want to get bitten again." Xavier said coolly. It's like he knew what I was going to say because he added, "When we get to a safer place, I'll tell you guys why I didn't die." Senah and I simply nodded.

As we were walking, I just kept on thinking about how Xavier had survived the bite. I remember hearing that no one could survive the bite.

It didn't even have a vaccine or cure. I was thrown out of my trance after I stumbled over a tree stump.

"You need to watch where you're going else you can get seriously hurt," Brandon said when he caught me from falling.

We passed through fields and villages. We would occasionally stop to eat small portions of the dried fish we caught back at the waterfall.

On our fifth stop, Senah fainted due to dehydration.

Fortunately, I remembered that I had two bottles of water I stole from a shop back at home. I assume it was three in the afternoon when we decided to rest for a while. Brandon held her hand and kept assuring her that she'd be fine.

I smiled at both of them. I wasn't sure if the two of them were in a relationship because Senah hadn't told me anything yet.

I pretended to look at something to see Xavier's face but he was wearing an annoying look of his!
