Chapter 4
Campfire
As we sat around the fire on the very top of the school, we all mourned the losses of our former friends. I pulled out my sketchbook and looked over Linzi. I started sketching a picture of her. My drawing had improved a lot over the time we'd been in there. My shirt was stained with blood from Dakota's exit wound. I took it off. No one gagged or coughed. We'd all seen each other naked before. There was no reason to feel disgusted any more. I threw the shirt in the fire so the vessels wouldn't smell the blood. Linzi sat by the fire staring into it with great hatred in her eyes. I sat moved next to her and gave her some of the food. She looked at me and a smirk began to form in the corner of her mouth.
"Thanks Jon!" Linzi said smiling.
"Don't worry! I won't let you die" I said moving my hand to hers.
"Is that what he'd want...... He hated you, for your obnoxiousness" Linzi said.
"I know! But I know he'd want you to make it out alive" I said wiping the tears off her face.
"We've got trouble!!" Juan said peering over the edge.
I walked over to him to see the danger. There was a brigand of Vessels making their way up the wall to our hideout.
"Get your weapons ready!! We've got hell on our asses now!!!" I said pulling out my assault rifle.
Kacey jumped up onto our base and rushed for Linzi saying "You will come with ussssssss!"
"Linzi!!!" I screamed diving at him.
We rolled and he pinned at me. He scratched my chest and knocked my gun out of my hands. I kicked up and he flew over the ledge. I ran to pick up my gun. He jumped up and I turned firing a bullet into his forehead. The bullet exploded and his brains splatted everywhere. I ran back toward Linzi who was in shock. The blood flowed from my scratches and dripped to the floor.
"Linzi get back!!" I screamed getting tackled by a vessel.
It was Derek! I would have to kill another friend. He lowered his fangs into my shoulder and Linzi screamed. I kicked him into the air, then fired a shot into his back. The blood splattered everywhere as his limp body landed on me. I flung it over the edge as the vessels retreated. I stood up and looked at the expression on Linzi's face and everything started to go blurry.
"I'm sorry!" I said looking at the bite.
Nikki and Juan caught me as I fell forward and gave me a shot. I woke up in the arms of Kristina and Linzi, their faces flooded with tears.
"What happened? I'm not Rabid?" I asked sitting up.
"Jon!!!" They screamed hugging me.
Kristina kissed me. I kissed her back taking advantage of the situation. My body was aching from all the scratches and tears. I got up and walked into my quarters and got down into my boxers. It was then I realized....... They've learned to talk............
