Infection Z by Beswick, L. (amazing books to read .TXT) 📕

and need time to adjust” Colonel nods in understanding “for now I’m going to call it a night, Sam?” I ask prompting her to follow, we both head up the long spiral staircase the only sound is of our feet hitting the hard wood, “do you want to be alone?” Sam asks wearing a sympathetic expression, “alone with you" I smile, I lead her to my room by the hand and the door creaks slightly when opened, I lie down on top of the covers putting my hands under my head and releasing a deep sigh, Sam lies beside me on her side looking up at me, “do you believe what he said?” she asks, “I think to a point, maybe my mum did keep him away, and he did leave but all that crap about trying to be a part of our life sounds fake, my mum would’ve told us she wasn’t a secretive woman" I reply looking to the ceiling, “it feels weird talking about her in a past tense" I murmur.

Sam just sits and listens playing with my hair whilst I share my inner thoughts I kept concealed during dinner, “do you think April went to her room?” I ask Sam, “I would like to think so but Noah didn’t come back so I think she’s in his room" she mutters annoyance in her voice, “what’s wrong with Noah I thought you liked him" I smirk not used to Sam showing any other emotion than happy, “I do I think, but I feel like he’s taking advantage of April at such a low point" she frowns, I stifle a laugh at her cute angry expression, “don’t frown you’ll get wrinkles" I joke, she punches me and laughs, “you worry too much, she’s a big girl if she doesn’t want to do something she won’t” Sam sighs and nods, “I didn’t mean to take the topic off you, I just worry about her, we’re all she has", we continue to lie together in silence, “so earlier?” Sam asks breaking the silence “hmm?” I respond with my eyes closed trying to stay awake, “before we went to dinner and something was going to happen...” she trails off and without opening my eyes I know she’s blushing and playing with her hair, “what was going to happen?” I ask trying to not smile from how awkward I’m sure I’m making her feel, she doesn’t respond and I open my eyes to find her face inches from mine, I blink in surprise and feel my face heating up.

As the seconds go by that her face is mere inches from mine I grow more nervous and warm in the face, Sam isn’t one to act so bold, I close the distance between us and touch my lips to hers, I feel her sigh and lean into me, I gently hold the back of her head as our kisses grow more deep but remain gentle, after a few moments she pulls away with a small smile playing on her lips, “Damon" she says with a smile, “Sam" I mock with a smile, we lie beside one another again enjoying some peace from a hectic life until we hear a crash and both sit up suddenly, we hurry out of our room towards the crash sounds and the screams that sound much like April, “April?!” I call out in a panic, we bang on the door the sounds are emitting from “April?!” we both yell, “no no no!” she screams, “calm down" Noah’s voice responds, “stay away from me!” she yells, finding the handle no good I walk back and jump into the door, it doesn’t break on my first attempt, I try a few more times until it breaks open revealing a half dressed April wielding a knife towards a panicked Noah.

“What’s going on?” I ask, “I don’t know we were just kissing and she started freaking out, telling me I was going to hurt her and she doesn’t trust me and grabs a knife out of nowhere" Noah exclaims, I turn to April “are you okay?” I ask and she continues to scream in response pointing the knife in my direction, “you won’t get me like you got my mum!” she tells at me, “what do you mean?" I ask her trying to understand her screaming, “you zombies killed her!” she screams, I look to Noah and Sam in confusion, “is she hallucinating?” I ask they both shrug in response “April honey it’s Sam, let’s put down the knife" she says sweetly, “don’t come near me monster!” she yells running towards Sam, I jump in front of her just as April stabs the knife out in front of her, I feel the knife go inside my stomach, I kneel down coughing and groan in pain “Damon!” Sam yells kneeling down beside me, Noah runs to my side assuring me everything will be fine, “Damon? Oh god" April whispers coming out of her trance, their voices start to fade out as my vision blurs into black and I’m sure I must have lost consciousness.

Sam’s POV

Damon has been brought to his bed, and one of the new people is tending to his wound, I watch anxiously worried for his wellbeing, “will he be okay?” I ask, “he is very lucky, she didn’t hit anything important to do damage, he’ll be out for a bit but he should be just fine" assured the young boy with a smile, “thank you, Michael was it?”, he stands and nods with a smile, after he’s left the room I rush to Damon’s side and sit waiting for him to wake up, I also feel concerned what was going through April’s mind, why she thought we were attacking her, is the trauma she’s been through more damaging to her mind than we first thought?

After some time sat in silence there is a light knock, “how is he doing?” Noah asks as he enters
