Our Days Are Numbered

Chapter 19

Sooooo, first of all, I had a woman about to give birth,

Secondly, Eaters are the medical center, that said woman was in giving birth in, that’s if they were even still in this place, at this point who knew where they were. I left the room with Dr. Putter helping the birth happen, I however did not want to stick around for that.

I walked down to the room that I had locked Dr. Green in. I put my ear up to the door there was a scraping sound and a soft knocking sound on the door. I took a deep breath before unlocking the door and slowly opening it.

Dr. green stood there, dead eyes, looking back at me. For the first time since the outbreak, I felt my heartache at the sight of an eater, she grunted softly as she looked towards me. I held my hand out to keep her at arm's length before I pulled out my knife and shoved it into her head. She fell to the ground, not moving.

DEVIN POV

We had moved through from one side of the Medical center and were now backtracking back, in the distance I could hear Hannah screaming, no doubt going through the birth. I cringed at my self thinking about what she was going through. It however was the sound of the gun that echoed through the halls that had me running in a flat sprint.

Another shot

And another. I ran past the room that I assumed had Hannah in, down the hall I found Dr. green laying on the floor. I stopped and did a quick once over she had a bite mark on her neck and what looked like a stab wound in her temple. I sucked in the air and looked up I could hear the moaning and growls coming from eaters.

Getting back up to my feet, I ran towards the struggle, backed up against a wall was Lilith with two Eaters to her left, she was bleeding down her arm. My heart stopped at once at the sight of the blood.

“If you are down staring at me I could use some god damned help” she shouted as she kicked one eater back away from her/ I moved quickly and made little work of the last two eaters crushing one's skull in against the wall and shoving a knife into the others. I hated how soft the bone got over time. It felt disgusting how it just squished in. I shook off the shiver that ran down my spine.

 I looked at Zoni, taking her arm in my hand, and admittedly, roughly checked it. she threw a punch at my cheek, with her hand that was wrapped up in a cast. Should have guessed that was going to happen

ZONI POV

Devin grabbed my arm harshly, I had to grit my teeth trying not to scream out in pain, I couldn’t help the reaction I had though, my casted hand connected with his cheek knocking him away from me

“I wasn’t bitten you f*****g i***t” his face visibly softened but then looked back to the wound.

“The first shot ricocheted off the wall and caught my arm,” I said lifting my arm, the damn thing was defiantly still in there I could see no exit wound. Great

GRANVILLE POV

I had gotten through all the room the only people that were missing were the pregnant couple and Dr. Green. Although according to Zoni, Dr. Green was probably dead by now if she had in fact been bitten by the eaters. I was walking towards the medical center,  men were carrying out what I assumed were dead eaters and piling them up in heap in an opening in the yard.

“wait,” Zoni shouted as she ran out after two men “not her she was one of us” the men ignored her for some odd reason and carried on towards the pile.

“Hey did you not f*****g hear me” she shouted,

“Devin said” one stared, she raised her hand

“I don’t give a damn what he said, I am your command, I am telling you she has to go to the graves, its what we do with our own”

Devin came out taking her by the hand

“Babe, she will pollute the ground,” he said pulling her back into the medical center, now let's have your arm checked. She pulled her hand out his and stared him down

“don’t babe me” she hissed at him and tried to walk back to the men, Devin didn’t like her movement against him and caught her hand again this time pulling her against his body

ZONI’S POV

“Devin I swear to f**k if you don’t let go of me, you will f*****g regret it” he let go but kept hold of my hand I raised my brow at him, but he wasn’t looking at me, he was looking at someone that was behind me. I turned my head to see Granville. I pulled my hand free and ran towards him. he stopped me before I could touch him and he looked down at my body his eyes following the blood that stained my arm

He looked at Devin his face instantly darkening
