Twenty Seven

‘What the…’ on her feet, wild and frantic at the scream ripping through the air. Paco surging up, his system flooding with aggression to kill and stamp and keep her safe. It’s too dark. Who is screaming? She flails in the dark, staggering to the door with the belief the infected are inside. The scream goes on, piercing and shrill. Paco bursts past her ramming the door open that fills the barn with the early dawn rays. Rajesh sits bolt upright his eyes wide in fear and Subi shaking from head to toe while grabbing her sister screaming from the nightmare of the beasts in the supermarket all coming alive to eat her.

Heather gasps, her heart hammering from the panic inducing seconds of bursting from sleep to full on wide awake. Adrenalin coursing her veins, making her shake and tremble as she rubs her face. ‘Oh my…jesus…’

‘Ssshhh, Amna ssshhh, it’s okay…’ Subi soothes and rubs her sister who inhales to scream wildly again with a blast of sound that will be heard for miles in every direction.

‘Make her stop,’ Heather says, rushing towards the children to stand impotent at being faced with a screaming child.

‘Just a dream, just a dream,’ Subi holds her sister, rocking back and forth to try and settle the girl who just keeps screaming. ‘Amna…stop now….just a dream…’

‘She’s got to be quiet,’ Heather says, frantic with worry at the noise. ‘Make her be quiet…wake her up.’

‘She is awake,’ Subi says, the fear and panic extending to make her own tears start to form.

‘Shush…ssshhh,’ Heather waves her hands at the girl. ‘Amna, shush now…stop screaming…Subi, do something…’

‘She’s scared,’ Subi tries harder, rocking faster with hands rubbing down her sisters face ‘Amna, shush now…it was just a dream.’

‘Christ, does she need food?’ Heather asks, ‘Amna…are you hungry?’

Amna screams. She screams because the monsters were alive and coming for her. She screams because the beasts were crawling broken and bloodied through the piles of maggots to eat her flesh. Amna screams because she is scared witless of being in a strange place with strange voices. She screams because she saw her mummy being killed by her daddy and she screams because they had to run and hide in the supermarket where the dead monsters are.

‘Make her stop…’

‘I can’t’ Subi cries because her sister is scared and Heather is angry and because the big man is looming behind her.

‘Amna,’ Heather goes closer, grasping the girl’s arms. ‘Stop it…you have to stop it…’ The girl thrashes, pulling away to shake and scream with a voice that will let every infected know where they are. ‘Stop,’ Heather begs, pleading. She grabs the girl, heaving her up and into her own body that she rocks side to side while rubbing the girl’s back. ‘Shush…stop…you have to stop screaming.’ It takes time but Amna eases down from a scream to wail then a sob as her arms going round Heathers neck to cling tight. ‘It’s okay, easy….take it easy,’ Heather rocks side to side, swinging her hips as the girl falls into a fitful silence of broken sobs.
