only alive because of you,” telling him with passion in her eyes.
“You should have gone, you all should have gone,” he told her bluntly.
Elle looked concerned, “You stayed to save people, downstairs, and they stayed to help you.” She took a deep breath before her next words came out, “and… I. Stayed to save you,” she uttered with a stutter in her voice.
Jack touched her face, brushing his hand over her ear and through her hair and taking notice of the beautiful freckles on her nose, “you should have left me,” he whispered to her.
Moving closer into him, she kissed him, wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders, Jack knew this was not the time for this, but he was tired of fighting his feelings for her. For once, he wanted something real for himself. The passion between them sparked like fireworks as Elle unzipped his vest and started removing his black shirt, he quickly responded by removing her jacket and shirt, down to her bra. She pulled back, Jack worried he had gone too far, without hesitation; she pulled him over to the bed. Together they fell on the bed, gripping each other’s hands, they wanted to savor every moment of this, for once in Jack’s life, both as a child without parents and as an adult taking orders in the Army. This was their moment, and truth be known, in the life they now lived this may be their only intimate moment.
Outside the house, two cars with no lights parked in the street. Alina stepped out of the car; she looked around looking for Toby. She quickly spotted him running towards her from a dark alley, “They are in there,” he said pointing to the house.
Alina smiled, “Good, they hurt us, we hurt them,” she replied happily. She looked back at Toby, “Get round the back and make sure no one gets passed you,” she ordered him.
As he ran back off into the darkness, several other people appeared from the vehicles as a gray truck joined them.
A woman covered in tattoos joined Alina.
“So they are inside the house Boss?” she spoke to Alina.
“I want this to be memorable, no one leaves alive,” She replied.
The tattooed woman started to walk away when Alina grabbed her arm; she also called everyone else over to her.
“There is one man in there that none of you get to kill, he is big, he stands out. He has short hair and he beams out leadership, he will be the one taking charge,” she told everyone.
“He is mine,” Alina warned them in a tough very strict voice.
They all nodded in agreement and walked away to take up their posts. Alina watched as the tattooed woman got into the gray truck. She turned the truck and put it in reverse, the truck smashed through the garden fence and crashed straight into the front of the house.
CHAPTER FOUR
RAGE
Lying there naked and each other’s arms, this was the moment they both dreamed off, Elle stared into the eyes of Jack, “No regrets,” she whispered to him.
Jack simply kissed her tenderly, holding each other tight and wanting this moment to last forever. (They were disturbed by a loud crash and what felt like an earthquake had shook the room around them! Both Jack and Elle jumped from the bed and rushed to dress themselves.
Downstairs Bray lay on the floor, covered in dust and rubble; he was dazed as he opened his eyes he was met with confusion. Bray looked to see Frank was attempting to get back to his feet and a gray truck had reversed into the house. Mark stood against the wall with Ryan trying to avoid the falling debris that down filled the room, the back door of the truck suddenly flew open and everyone watched in fear at what appeared.
Ryan rushed to Bray to help him to his feet, he looked on as the dead piled out of the truck and into the living room, Zoe rushed to Bray and grabbed his side arm, she started shooting towards the approaching Dead. Frank now on his feet also began to shoot, Mark tried to run to the back of the room when a rotting corpse grabbed him, he tripped on a
