THE ZOMBIE OUTBREAK

chapter seventeen

"Rachel, don't sleep. We need to leave here. We both know the only reason Derek is keeping us alive is to make your brother come here and rescue you. We need to find a way out ourselves." Mark spoke slowly, his eyes darting around the room. Their number was dwindling by the day, with the zombie soldiers coming day and night for their meals. "What do we do? There is literally nothing wrong we can do from here." Rachel replied, getting tired. They haven't been well fed in days, and it was zapping them off energy.

Some of the captives were lying tired on the ground, and they didn't have the strength to fend off the zombie soldiers when they came for them. "We both know Derek liked you when he was still human, and I am sure some part of him still feels the same." Mark said, slowly looking at her face.

" What? What are you really asking of me?" Rachel asked, not getting Mark's point. "What I meant was that maybe you could get close enough to kill him. We could escape if Detek is dead."
