As soon the mutated turned it attention to us, It suddenly yelled out its scream while running towards the direction of the sound.

Luckily this type of mutated cant see anything nor anyone, the only thing attracting their senses is by any kind of sound. No matter how soft the sound was, they'll coming running into it.

"R-rarity!" I gasped while running towards her, tackling the mutated while pushing it away with my right arm to avoid its deadly bite.

"Applejack!" Rarity screamed, watching me struggle with the infected.

"Well don't just stand there! H-help me!" I yelled back after striking a direct punch onto the mutated's bloated head.

While I was backing away from it, I quickly placed my hand in my holster, only to realize that my gun was no longer there.

"Crap!" I started, running in front of Rarity to protect her. "Stay behind me sugarcube!"

"Shoot it quick, its getting back up!"

"I-I cant.. My gun's missing, it must have dropped somewhere when I tackled that thing!"

After the mutated got back to its feet, I noticed that my gun was right beside its feet but if I make any movements, I know that thing will attack me.

Since this place was falling apart, the wooden floor creaks every time someone step on it even with the lightest step.

I just stood there, holding in my breath as I thought of a way to grab my gun. Rarity on the other hand covered her mouth with both her hands, still watching the infected shake its head repeatedly.

I then slowly turned around to face my lover, doing a silent hint with my hands which made her nodded her head in agreement.

We may have face the infected like this before during our cargo missions but without any weapons or unarmed, Rarity and I knew were in deep trouble.

Seconds later, it turned around and started to slowly walk out of the room.

Without any hesitation, I immediately took the chance to grab my gun, diving onto the ground to create a noise to attract it.

"Hey Asshole!" I yelled while pointing my gun into its head.

The Mutated then quickly turned around, making its attack scream before running directly at me.

But as soon I pulled the trigger multiple times.

"TICK, TICK, TICK!"

"Damn Im out of bullets!" I screamed as I put up my arms in front of me to somehow counter the infected.

"RAWR!" It yelled while opening its wide bloody mouth, aiming for my neck after.

"Applejack!" My girlfriend screamed, still doing absolutely nothing except watching me fight for my life.

"ARGH! Goddamn it Rarity help me!" I yelled back while pushing the mutated away from me.

"B-but I have nothing!" She replied, looking around the place.

"Then find something before I get bit- AHH!"

" B A N G !"

A gunshot was heard near us, causing me and Rarity to scream at the loud noise. But when I realized that the mutated stopped attacking me, I quickly pushed it away from me, sending it to fall on the ground after.

And there I saw blood all over my shirt and some in my face. But what shocked me the most is when I saw someone standing in the distance while pointing her gun let out smoke from gunshot.

She was wearing a plain black hoodie with some yellow stripes on the sleeves. It was clear that whoever's standing in front of us is a female.

All I can identify in her appearance that she was wearing a mask to hide her face but her red, yellow and.. green hair showed in front. What a weird combination for a hair style.

After I snapped out of my thoughts, I quickly ran up to my Rarity and pulled her into my arms, still looking into the girl's angered magenta eyes.

"T-thank you.." I managed to choke out.

"Who are you?" Rarity asked, holding my hand tighter.

The girl just stayed silent and ignored our questions, pointing her gun in my head afterwards.

"W-woah! Don't please.." I gasped, raising my hands into the air.

When she finally walked closer to me, she suddenly placed her finger on my chin before looking into my eyes.

Looking into the stranger's magenta eyes made something spark my soul, not even aware that my cheeks were already reddened.

I nervously chuckled, looking away from her eyes. " What do you want? Please don't hurt us."

"Don't worry, I wont." She finally spoked up in a raspy voice after opening her bag to reach out for something.

Who is this girl? Her accent sounded like she's around her 18's or somethin'. But whoever she is, made my lover confused yet.. angry?

Not long after, she finally pulled out something from her bag, slamming it on my chest with slight force.

"Oof!" I gasped, grabbing it from her hand after looking into her eyes again. "Ammunition?"

"Yeah, be safe cowgirl." She lastly replied before running into the only hole that leads to the store's first floor.

"Hey, Come back!" I yelled as I reached out my hand for the stranger. Sadly she was ignored me.

After she left us me Rarity, I looked down and started at the pistol ammo box she gave me..

In a time of crisis like this, many people will just kill each other just for food and supplies, better yet keep the loot for themselves to keep them alive.

Nobody will ever share their valuables, not even me nor Rarity. I wonder why did that girl gave me this? It was a shame that I never saw her face..

But her eyes.. Were different, it made me feel something weird that I haven't fell for a long time."

"Darling, you okay?" Rarity spoke up, making me snap out of my thoughts.

I sighed. " Who was that girl?" I added as I opened the box to refill my gun's magazine with bullets.

"I don't know.. Probably another deadly survivor."

"No, she seemed.. N-nice." I started, cocking my gun. "She didn't tell her name."

"Why is your cheeks still blushing,, darling?" My lover asked with a sudden changed of tone in her voice.

I just ignored her and wiped the mutated's blood off my face, turning around to go jump down into the same direction that mysterious girl went, placing my gun back to my holster after.

"We need to follow that girl."

"W-what? why? We don't even know her!"

"Something's strange about her, Rare.. Just trust me." I replied, cupping both my lovers cheeks after she got down the whole.

She just sighed and placed her hands around me. "You ignored my question, darling. And what if we follow her? She might be working for Feather Bangs!"

"That's the point, if we follow her.. She might lead us to that Feather b*tch." I chuckled while removing my hands from her cheeks, still looking into her diamond eyes.

"Ohh.. Then why didn't you tell me at the start? Lets go then." Rarity cheered before removing her bag to grab something inside. "Wear your mask darling, the spores inside will kill us if we breathe them.

"Oh right, I forgot.." I giggled, placing my bag on my chest to grab my mask inside.

For some reason, I still get rid of that girl's vision in my mind. Her magenta eyes made me feel something, I guess I was just scared..

But I could ask myself Rarity's same question, why does my cheeks turned red when I felt her finger on my chin.. That thing I felt is the same feeling whenever Im with Rarity. Maybe Im just confused.

Besides I don't know that kid, she might be a killer for all we know. Its best if I forget about her. But Im still thankful that she saved me and my girlfriend from that infected..

After we wore our mask, I grabbed my bag from the ground and took out my gun, slowly walking into the dark destroyed room beside us.

This place has a thick layer of deadly air of spores around it and if we inhale them, it will suffocate us till the point we die. No wonder half of humanity died because of that.

With our mask still on, I managed to squeeze myself in the small gap which leads us to the room close to this store's back exit.

I firstly shined my flashlight all around us to make sure it was clear, "W-were clear." I told Rarity who was following behind me.

But as soon I took another step, I felt something my feet which sent shivers go down my spine, paired with a loud scream.

Rarity immediately followed my gaze and saw a survivor trapped as a heavy part of the roof fell on him.

"Please help me.. I-I need help."

"What happened to you mister?" Rarity asked, slightly pulling me away from him.

"I.. Cant breat-" He was cut of by a painful cough. "I cant breath, my mask broke." The poor man was able to continue between his continuous coughs.

"Who did this to you?" I asked while preparing my pistol.

"Some girl saw me.. She punched my mask broken then left me here, to die!" He cried.

"What should we do with him, Applejack?" My lover asked, looking into my eyes through the gas mask.

"Who's the girl?

"She had this some kind of ridiculous Rainbow hair!"

"I see.. " I sighed before pointing the gun at his head, shooting him dead afterwards.

"You poor bastard.." Rarity added, making her way to the the other room afterwards and I just followed from behind.

That Rainbow haired stranger did this. Its the best way to end his life for a quick death instead of slowly suffocating.

Who the hell is that girl? She freaking made me kill a man..
