I feel the same atmosphere from outside in this house. silence.I grip onto the front door handle and pull myself up. Now standing. My grandmother is probably in the place which I left her in, and probably still in the same terrified state. Guilt sinks in as i realise my grandmother was so traumatised and I put the lined up infected first. I put my species first. Therefore I regret none of it. As I start walking a pain shoots through my left leg and a strain in my stomach i ignore it the best I could and carried myself into the living room where i last left her. I glance at the blinds gaps across the street only two infected are lined up now.

"Oh my god"

I follow the sound to the tartan armchair which I left her in. Her face covered in tears and the whites of her eyes replaced with a pale red from all the crying. I limp towards her

"Help me please"

I feel at warm liquid spill from my nose. I press my hand over the bridge of my nose trying to stop the nose bleed for commencing.

"Please" i mutter under my breathe but load enough she can hear it.

She slowly pushes herself of the armchair which she was sinking into and wraps her arms around me tight releasing all her emotion at once releasing a whaling noise followed by a sob she slowly pulls back.

"I thought you where dead. After you left, and I heard that gunshot I was sure that-"

She falls back into my arms as she makes a muffled sound into my shoulder I comfort her still feeling a throbbing pain throughout my body. She continues

"I was sure that you where dead"

She pulls away once more and whips the tears from her face and pushes her grey and black textured hair from her face now controlling all her emotions. She breaks the silent tension with

"Oh my god I'm so sorry I'll get the medical kit your hurt look at you"

she then rushes out of the room through the hallway. I sit down on the other armchair which is identical to the other whilst inhaling and exhaling loudly. The sound of opening cupboards and crackling of plastic bags. She soon enters the room with a small white plastic box which has a red '+' engraved on the front and in the other hand a transparent cup filled with water

"let's get you patched up"
