#3 of Apocalypse

This may be weird, but it was all I could think of. Sorry but short, I'll make longer next time.


They were walking down the street close by the apartment building. They were heading for a grocery store that David remembered. He just hoped it wasn't looted. Yet even worse, inhabited. When he turned down the street that ended with the store, They found a whole lot of zombies. "Holy shit! That is a lot of zombies!" He said, and the zombies heard him and started to run towards him and Sarah. David started to run.

She heard him say that the humans in the street and chasing after them were zombies. She wished that she could've asked what zombies are but she couldn't speak to him in any way. Suddenly, one of the zombies came out of a split in the buildings a scratched down her flank and David's arm. Her blood was a deep purple and when it mixed with David's own blood, the color changed to a normal purple. She heard David grunt, but he kept on running. Then she heard crackling sounds.

"HEY! Get in here!" David looked up to see a man who seemed to be in his twenties up on a hotel balcony. The door to the hotel was open so he ran inside and the doors shut behind him. When he heard the doors close, he slowed to a stop. He was still breathing heavily When a man came over and asked, "You alright? We saw you running from a mob of those ugly mother fuckers."

"I'm fine, just scratched if thats what your asking." David replayed. He studied the man, he was an African-american man, bald, and had a scruffy goate.

"You'll be safe in here, I'll get Tom to go get you some bandages. My name is Mike by the way." Then Mike started to reach for Sarah when she hissed at him. "What the hell?!?!"

David chuckled at this, "Guess she doesn't like to be touched by people other than me."

"What the hell is that thing?!?!" Sarah hissed at him again.

"She is one of the experiments that the government hid from us."

"And what is 'she' supposed to do?"

"Don't know. You expect me to break into government files?"

"Then how do you know that she is a she?"

"I kind of checked for that myself."

"Did you name her?"

"Actually yes, I named her Sarah, she went along with it."

"Aren't you afraid she'll turn on you? You know, choke you while you sleep?"

David looked at Sarah and said, "would you kill me?"

Sarah looked back at him and shook her head no. Truth was, she was starting to love him.

"And that, means no." David said to Mike.

"Well, just keep her away from everyone else and I'll let you stay."

"Fine by me, I'm David. Can you get those bandages for me and bring some extra for Sarah?"

After a couple more chats with other people, one asking for his backpack, another to get rid of Sarah, and last one was what room he wanted. He finally got through all that bullshit and got to his room on the top floor. It was a simple room with a bed, personal bar, and bathroom.

He looked in the fridge and found it was empty but still had cold air coming from it. So he put in the steak, water, cake, and juice in it. Then he went to lay on the bed with his guns and backpack in a corner. He locked the door just in case someone tried to steal his stuff. When he plopped down on the bed, Sarah slithered away from his shoulders then came back around so her head was near his. The more he looked at her, the more he came to accept the fact that he loved her. He loved the way her scales shined with purple in the sunlight, how her eyes reflected his, and just how she is always with him. He said to her, "I think I'm starting to love you." (Yeah, I know its really cheesy to do that, but its my story, so keep quiet.)

When he said that to her, she thought that she was dreaming. The human said he loved her, and she loved him! She wished that he could understand her when she hissed, "I love you too." (Remember, my story) At that moment, David sat up and stared at her. He had a confused look on his face and he looked around the room, then back to her and said, "Did you just talk?"

That gave her a shock. She flinched back in surprise, then hissed, "David... can you understand me?"

He looked around the room again, then nodded and said, "It seems so." When she heard that she wrapped her body around his and squeezed tightly, but not choking tightly, in love. Her face had a smile on it.

When she wrapped around his body and gave him what seemed to be a hug, she started to ask him a lot of questions.

"You truly love me?" she hissed, "What are zombies? What is this place? Where were we when you saved me?"

"Slow down!" David said, "I can only answer one question at a time!"

"Fine," she hissed, " how can you understand me?"

"Maybe its because our bloods mixed? I mean, your DNA is python and human mixed together and when it came into my blood stream I could understand you."

"Ok, do you truly love me?"

"I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true."

She squeezed him tighter, "That's all I needed to know," she hissed as she closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

When he saw her doing this, he pet her head and said, "Good night, my love." then he fell asleep with his arms around her back.
