I was so excited and energetic about killing those things. They took everything away from all of us. And I still have no idea as to why those things are ugly and only do two things for a living. That is eating people's insides and moaning.
And I was just ready to go and kill them, to show them who the bosses were, but the men and Elijah pushed me behind them. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Was this all really necessarily? Was it because I am a girl?
"Well if that's the reason, then I got a newsflash for you guys. My father was raised by an ex-soldier who then became the chief of our police corps, that man was his father so that makes this man my grandfather. I was more with grandfather than that my sister ever was in her life, so he taught me all things like how to survive in the open. And I admit it, I feel like I was more raised by my father and grandfather than by my father and mother."I said, but only in my head so that no one could hear it. Good thing too, because if I made just one sound, I would have given away our hiding spot.
One of the men held up his hand and started doing these moves with his fingers. Not that I didn't know those moves, I did because I watched a lot of police shows when I was a little.
He held up his index finger and middle finger and swayed them to the left and then right. That was a sign for us to move. But we had to play it safe though, it was our lives we were talking about after all.
I held my gun with both of my hands firm before me. The gun was loaded and ready to fire. I relaxed my shoulders and released my breath. I was ready.
Ready to fight.
But just when we were about to ambush the cannibals, I heard the most terrifying scream I've ever heard in my life. And at first, I didn't recognize it, but after I heard the scream again, and again, I knew who it belonged to.
I stood up as fast as I could and ran back to the back door. Where I saw two cannibals eating out of Kate.
Everything started to become slow, and I lost the focus of my breathing as my heart began to beat faster as well. I blinked, but couldn't feel me doing so.
They didn't seem to notice my presence while I walked one step towards Kate.
I pointed my gun at the head of the cannibal that was eating on her sides and shot it. The bullet pierced through its temple and through the cerebellum.
The sound of its fellow mate falling made the only cannibal left look up. It started snarling and stood up. I pulled the trigger, but nothing came out. "Damn it!" I started to panic and clicked the magazine out, seeing that it was empty. My hands started to tremble and I couldn't put the magazine back in. I looked up for a brief moment and came within eye level of the cannibal.
I dropped the gun with a force and sprung out of the way. Just in time, or else I would have gotten the biggest scratch across my face that may have ever existed to humanity.
It stepped on my foot and that caused me to fall on my back. I landed with a grunt and my breath got knocked out of me.
It gripped my leg, but I was throbbing them and then finally gave it a good kick in his stomach. The cannibal staggered a few steps backwards. I came to my feet again, but wasn't fast enough as it was close to me once again.
There was no space left for me to move as I got trapped between the wall and the cannibal.
My breathing got heavier, and I tried to push the cannibal away but it was ten times stronger than I was. It was closing the space even more. Just barely two steps and I would be done for.
I pressed my palm against its forehead, but its skin was all wet and it fell off. That was the only thing that came to my mind as the last thing that could help me.
That was it. I was going to die.
"Hey! You sucker, let go of her!" A gun went off and blood splattered around me. Covering my face. The cannibal slipped to the ground and I stood there, not moving a muscle.
The blood dripped from my face. I turned my head around and faced a pissed off Elijah. His jaw clenched as he put his gun away.
"What the hell came over you?! Don't you ever do that again?!" He yelled as he ushered over me in a fast pace and pulled me away from it.
I said nothing, only stared into his deep blue eyes. I knew that I was too late.
I saw that Patrick came running down the stairs, and I immediately let go of Elijah's hand and stormed at Patrick.
"How could this happen?!" I yelled, but Patrick seemed to be absent. "How?!" I yelled again. And when he didn't respond to me, I clenched my jaw and pushed him to the wall. Holding his shirt in my fists as end result.
"You better give me an answer now, or God help me so," I wasn't thinking clearly, and my emotions were all over the place. It felt like I wasn't controlling my body anymore as my arm raised and I was about to hit him if it weren't for Elijah.
He gripped my arm with his left hand while his right one was on my waist. Elijah started to make small little circles, "let Patrick go, just let him go." He said in a soft voice behind me in my ear.
The dark clouds in my mind disappeared when I heard his soothing voice. I looked up at Patrick, but couldn't quite look him in the eyes.
Ashamed, I let go of his shirt and turned around to see Elijah looking at me. And at that moment, I broke. I fell down on my knees and I began to cry.
"Shh, it's alright cerise. Just let it all out," he started massaging my hair, smoothing it. Even though my heart was feeling like it got stabbed ten thousand times, I still cracked up a small smile. "Did you just call me cherry?" I could feel him laugh, "yeah, I guess I did. But it's good you know your French," Elijah gave me a kiss on my forehead and hugged me.

Everything had changed. I don't know if it was before he hugged me or before Elijah said the words, but I do know that it felt so damn good to hug him.
And that brings us here, two days later, in an open field filled with tents. On our way to a place where we would be safe. And I can't wait for that to actually happen because we all don't even know if it's true. The group that found us accidentally at the house heard about it from other people and decided to check it out.
Elijah has been kind to me ever since the death of Kate, he even suggested to share the tent with me, just so that he could keep watch over me. I'm starting to think that Elijah is beginning to like me, at least, I dohope so. He's such a gentleman and every hour I fall more and more in love with him.
Fate has a weird sense of getting people together, or not? But, in this kind of world that we live in now, I don't think that a good relationship is on the cards.
For that, the cannibals need to be gone.
I want the cannibals to be gone. Like completely gone, face of the Earth gone. If only there was an antidote to all this.
Who the hell knows? Maybe there is one, maybe, the thing that created this curse does have an actual antidote.
But for now, we have to keep fighting and honor the people that have died because of this curse. We will keep strong and brave. And we certainly will never, ever show them our deepest fears and weaknesses. We will always be better than them, and we will survive this with all that we've got!
