  Taking some steps forward he avoided a heavy strike from one of the mimicks behind him, he wasn't quite ok, he was injured and was also bleeding badly, "not time to die, not time to die" he convinced himself turning around and shooting down one of many behind him. He was still forcing himself to run although he could like many others tell when he was at his limit and getting weaker by the second, how had he gotten himself into this mess just how? He wondered turning around again to shoot but nothing came out, he was out of rounds and had no ammunition, nothing to keep him safe from getting attacked and eastern by those ravaging beasts behind him. A miracle please a miracle he begged wondering aimlessly around the the bushes behind the port.

  A SEARCH FOR LOVE

  .

  "Chloe, Chloe is that you?" A voice asked from behind, Chloe stood shaken by those words, she hadn't met anybody besides smoke and Zack and noone else knew her name, was it a mimick?, no, mimicks could get a voice right but didn't know the names of people behind them, is her theory was right, the thing behind her wasn't a mimick but actually a person?. Mustering some courage Chloe decided to turn around to find out who exactly was behind her and how the hell they knew her name. Turning around she met the gaze of a guy, he didn't look familiar in the least, that brought the question about how he knew her name.

  "Who the hell are you and how do you know my name?" Chloe asked staring at him her eyes and gaze fixed on him.

  "You don't know who I am" he asked with a confusing gesture then smiled "is this a prank?, cuz if it is yu got me" he continued trying to take some steps closer to her but Instead she stepped back aiming her handgun at him threatening to shoot

  "I'm not in the mood for games, who are you and how do you know me"she asked looking really serious about shooting, this proves to him she had actually lost her memory and the reason she couldn't remember him.

  "You've lost your memory huh," he grinned tightening his already clenched fist before continuing "I'm Dave, your...............nevermind, were comrades in arms, we've been through a lot together Chloe, it may sound stupid and confusing but you went missing after saving us from a whole horde of infected three months back, I've been searching for you ever since outside the protection and approval of altera" Dave informed trying to take some steps closer to Chloe but she stepped back again unsure if what he was spouting was the truth or if he had a hidden agenda

  "Missing?...., comrades in arms? What the hell are you saying?" Chloe asked she was already as confused as it was, all the words he had just thrown on her just added to that.

  "I swear it Chloe, I'm a friend I won't hurt you" he tried convincing her but he knew she wouldn't believe him even after losing her memories she was still as tough and insecure as ever."you don't believe me so you?" He asked

  "Give me reasons, reasons why I should believe the words of a guy just met" Chloe replied, she needed proof, she didn't plan on walking into the arms of anybody she just met.

  "A guy you just met" he muttered to himself

  ******

  "They hate me........they're afraid of me Dave"

  "Hate?..., who exactly hates you?...., you're like the best, most courageous person I've seen so far"

  ******

  Tiny droplets of tears escaped his eyes as he stared at her, "a guy you just met, would a guy you just met know you love stareing at the stars each night before falling asleep?, would a guy you just met know you were bitten by an infected years ago and can't be infected anymore, would a guy you just met cry this much seeing you" while he asked he slowly advanced towards Chloe while she was still deep in thoughts.

  "Would a guy you just met, know how insecure you are of this world cuz you think you're different from us huh?, tell me Chloe"Dave asked unable to control himself while he placed his hands on her shoulders, she was unable to pull back, all he had said was correct, but how was it? Was he right about knowing her before she lost her memory? She couldn't quite wrap her head around it as she stood there stareing at him

  "How?, how do you know that?, how?" She thought feeling an intense amount of pain grow up on her head

  "Arrrrr, nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" she mumbled falling on the floor and rolling, she had never felt this much pain before, "it hurts, it hurts it hurts!!" she yelled so loudly her voice could be heard from a distance. Dave had quickly held her holding her. Arms and trying every single method he knew to ease or surpress the pain but it didn't work, she was yelling even More. Still not sure what was going on, the door swilung open, smoke and Zack had heard her scream and came rushing into the building making sure to avoid leading any Infected I. And killing the ones which did.

  "You bastard what did you do to her!"Zack yelled angrily giving Dave a punch to the face throwing him at the other end of the room as he took his place holding Chloe's arm while she rolled around in pain.

  "Who the hell are you and what do you want with her?"Dave yelled rushing towards zack his fist folded but he got obstructed by smoke

  "I'd advice you don't try anything so stupid bro, I got a gun with me and I wouldn't mind using it" smoke threatened pointing his gun at Dave who stopped moving as soon as he got pointed with it.

  Chloe had stopped rolling and screaming in pain, it was subsiding but she was now unconscious. This had changed their plan, as they had all wanted to head west in time but would now have to wait for Chloe to wake up before doing so. Zack was angry, he had never been this much angry before, after laying her gently on the floor he turned to stare at Dave whose fist were also clenched tightly while he stared at the two infront of him.

  "What the hell did you do?" Zack asked slowly approaching Dave while having the sleeves of his clothes folded

  "What did you do to Chloe?" He asked again with a death stare
