Hearing the sounds and smelling the air was enough to wake her from her fragile day dreams and hope. Reality had set in and she was not left to confront it. Looking to see that Nate had left and not being able to make out his words she panicked. Quickly though she saw that he was in the frame of a door, waiting for her.
She was in the door in less then a heartbeat. Not bothering to let him move, she shut the door, leaning against it. Letting her eyes hastily adjust to the light she cursed under her breath. Feeling like a trapped animal was not helping her morale in the least and she felt that a fight with these things would be inevitable.
The hallway was silent but she knew it wouldn't be that way for long. Hoping that they would be mislead by the blood on the wardrobe and wander off that way, they could buy a few more seconds to help think of a way out.
"Nate?"
It was the only word she could choke out before she felt a wave of nausea crash over her. Putting her hand to her stomach, and the other on the door, she bent over. The little amount of food she had eaten in the last few days was fighting it's way out of her stomach. Swallowing painfully, she looked up to see a window. However at this point, she had no idea what Nate had in store, if he had anything planned at all.
The sound of the infected, though soft and muffled by the door, rang in her ears like gunshots. Panicking she leaned against the door harder and looked at the silhouette figure of Nate, trying to put her thoughts together effectively. Nothing was coming to mind, however, her eyes kept wandering back to the window.
Skin against carpet. Deteriorating, mutilated, and dead flesh against a dusty and out-dated carpet. The sound stabbed at her ears and it was hard to keep the tears away. The sense of an impending crisis overwhelmed her senses. Trying to keep her breathing even, she looked up at Nate.
"What do we do now?"
