Hunter was now crawling as fast as possible without making too much sound. Zombies were stupid, but they werent that stupid. With each passing hour and with each survivor they killed, they seemed to grow strong and smarter in Hunters opinion. Finally reaching an opening Hunter asked "Do we escape into the mall or go to your hideout??"

Laurell glanced back over her shoulder she could see the shadows of the first zombie moving swiftly towards them she looked back at Hunter 'is it clear in the mall?' she hissed trying to keep her voice quiet, the voices in her head were urging her to run telling her she was almost out of time. 'I know I know' she mumbled to them turning back to look behind her again, the shadow was closer now there would be no time for descions. 'Hunter is the mall clear?' she hissed as she pressed forwards her side brushing against his as she peered through the bars of the air vent, the Mall was empty from what she could see. She backed up slightly, 'Kick it open' she said her voice breathy with panic. She could sense the closeness of the first zombie and along with the screaming of the voices in her head she was losing control

"Laurell, are you alright? Ok Ok! Ill open it!" he shouted kicking the vent open with extreme force. Jumping down into this empty part of the mall, he helped Laurell down and the closed up the vent, trying to block it with a nearby broom. "It will only hold them for a bit. But they'll probably move elsewhere. Are you alright?" he said checking her out

Laurell shook slightly as she stood with her arms wrapped lightly round her, her eyes wild with panic 'that...that...thats the first time they have got that close without me being abale to attack them' she stuttered out her voice quiet and trembling, she looked up at the hatch and could see the first zombie pressed against it, she drew out her revlover and aimed... 'Die you scumbag!' she hissed as she let off a shot, the zombie flew backwards into the shaft and disappeared, Laurell wasnt sure if she had hit it or not. 'We cant stay here oh no they are gonna find us, they will come, we have to run, run, run far away' she muttered as she started to pace about, her head bent low. suddenly her head shot up and she smiled at Hunter. 'I know a way.... i know where we can go thats safe for now follow me' she said her voice coming out in a rush

"Laurell wait!" he said grabbing her gently by the arm. "Somethings.....somethings wrong with you.....dont tell me these zombies are making you go nuts. A-Are they?" he asked suspiciously. Walking her to a nearby bench, he sat her down so she could relax. "Ill go with you to that'safe place' but first I need to know if your actually letting these zombies get to your head.."

Laurell looked at Hunter as if she hadnt seen him before then her eyes lit up with recognition 'Hunter!' she breathed her hand reaching out to touch his cheek lightly a small blush rising up her own neck and cheeks, 'what was you saying... the zombies getting to me... no no i dont think so' she said softly her eyes wandering round the deserted area, 'I mean i have been fighting them a while now, been trapped in here with them, but no i mean they...' she let the sentence drift off before shaking her head to clear it. 'No Hunter they just scared me thats all i mean being in there with them and knowing i couldnt use my gun was.....' she shuddered for emphasis before smiling at him again. 'I'm fine really look my hands have almost stopped shaking already' she giggled nervously, the voices in her head and gone silent again and she could concentrate on being her again

Hunter's face seemed twisted and confused. "Whats wrong Laurell? The way your acting....I mean, its not just because your scared. Anything in your past gone wrong? My past life hasnt been pretty at all. I basically have no family, and have no friends, so how much worse could it get? Getting eaten by a zombie? No way. If thats what has to happen, thats it then. But you....your scared or worried about something else. ANything you care to explain?"

Laurell looked at Hunter and sighed deeply before speaking, 'I will tell you all about my past if we can walk while we talk' she said her eyes flicking to the still closed hatch, she shook herself visibly before slipping her revelover into the back of her jeans and picking her sack up again and stringing it round her shoulders, she smiled at Hunter and held one hand out to him, 'My parents were murdered, and, and, and i saw it.' she said softly her eyes lowering to the floor before lifting again and staring straight ahead of her, 'It wasnt a pretty sight, they were stabbed so many times that the blood was everywhere, the murderer didnt see me i was hiding in the closet but the screams, I still hear the screams' she whispered softly as she started to walk away, her shoulder slumped. 'I ran away just after, couldnt face the police, couldnt face being quizzed about it, just wanted to forget the look on their faces as the knife struck again and again...' her voice trailed off and she lifted one hand slightly looking at the palm seeing something that no one else could. 'The zombies remind me of how my parents looked after, their skin puffy and slack, blood everywhere so much blood' she turned her painfilled face to Hunter before walking on again, 'Now if you wanna get out of here alive i suggest we keep moving' she stated her voice suddenly strong

Hunter took her by the arm and began running towards the end of the long hallway. He wasn't headed anywhere special. Just trying to escape the constant moans from the fast moving zombies. 'How do they keep tracking us?' he thought. "Alright, look, you have a dark past and you act strange at times and this I cannot explain, but Im still going to help you because you've helped me. Im sure we can find a safe place somewhere. Hold on, we need to take a rest" he said walking over to a white,glossy bench. Running a hand through his hair, he let out a loud sigh. "I dont think theres any escape. Even if the suvivors could make it out of the mall alive, we all couldnt make it out of the town alive....its hopeless unless the government comes. Thats unlikly"

Laurell Looked at him her head tilted to one side as one ear listened to the soft distant moans of the zombies, 'the government wont help us' she whispered softly as she ran her hand through her hair. She was about to speak again when a scream shattered the still air, Laurells head spun on her shoulders to glance behind her, 'we dont have time to rest Hunter' she stated as she grabbed his hand, 'we have to get somewhere and now' she said softly before turning and surveying the darkened stores, 'some of these must have suitable hiding places' she mused as she strode towards a bakery, its windows covered in grime and dried blood from some other battle, she turned back to Hunter and grinned already drawing her knife from the holster.

"No, no, no! Dont you see the blood? I mean, there may be zombies already in this store lady. Plus, it takes only one of them to know that we are in here, then they all start flockin' in. You dont get it, we arent safe until we find that suvivors camp thing. Or atleast.....Im not safe..." he trailed off. There was still something very mysterious and shadowy about this girl. Some of her characteristics pointed to a scared little girl or a....a...a psycopath? Just as this thought passed Hunter's mind, he wriggled out of her grip and backed away a few feet.

Laurell turned and looked at him 'Hunter i have used this place before no ones here no one ever comes here look' she said and she dropped to her knees infront of the door and slipped her blade between the door frame and jamb and wrentched it open. she remianed on her knees her eyes alert and watchful as the door slowly swung open, she peeked round into the drakened shop and smiled to herself, all was as it had been the last time she was here. 'Hunter come here' she hissed as she motioned him over.

"No, Im not going with you" he mumbled. The more he thought about it, the more the idea of her being a psycopath crossed his mind. It was all becoming clear now. Would she eventually hurt him if her 'other side' took over? Without another word, he quickly turned and ran for an empty part of the mall. Well, atleast it seemed empty. There were currently no moans and groans there.

Laurell looked at him as he sprinted off to the other side of the mall, she shook her head and felt the soft flour she had sprinkled on the floor of the bakery last time she had been there , it lay white smooth and untouched. Laurell smiled sweetly before turning to watch Hunter across the open expanse of mall, she didnt understand what was wrong with him, sure he was a sweet guy but there was something she couldnt put her hand on. laurell was sitting there staring at him as the voices began their whispering in her ear again 'their coming, hes not safe they will get him' they whispered urgently to her, laurell shock her head. 'No No he dont wanna be with me he will be safe' she argued softly with the voices, but their warning got louder and tilting her head she heard them the muffled groans coming from dead ahead... why couldnt Hunter hear them. laurell stood up and cupped her hands over her mouth 'HUnter run this way!' she screamed

"Im not running anywhere near you!" he shouted back. Just then, he skidded to a halt. The look of horror and surprise on his face, was like no other. "Wow....you guys are...s-stealthy." he whispered in a shaky, shocked voice. The Zombies were moving very slowly, but at the same time, it seemed like in just moments, they were right next to you. Thrusting his fist forward, Hunter attempted to hit one. And he did, right in the face. But it seemed as if it hadnt even affected the zombie. "Oh boy" backing up a bit, he looked over to laurell "I dont want your help. Its all making sense. Your a psyco. The whole, bad past and two voices and your odd behavior, its not just some girly thing, you are a psycopath!" he shouted back to her
