Chapter 38 - In The Cafe

Nic and Emma entered the S.e.xy Diva Café with the gun lifted on their hands. They use their torchlight to light up the place since the power of this place has been cut off. They didn't stop to scanning all around the café to see if there any danger around them. It was only the two of them who was step into the café to look for survivors.

From the outside, they could hear a gunshot and also another bomb exploded.

Nic look at Emma who was walking beside her. "Did you see any survivor??"

Emma shake her head twice. "Nope.. Still no sign of any survivor here. Let's keep checking up. We might find any of them who still alive and hiding out here."

"I was originally thinking like that..." Nic lifted her gun until it was the same level as her neck before Nic move towards the counter. Emma also do the same and she follow Nic from behind.

"This place was a mess. No one could survive in the place like this," said Nic, looking at the counter that full of stuff. "Yeah, you are right. Even my mother would scold me if I didn't clean up my room," said Emma. She take a bottle of milk on the counter and check it out.

"Somehow, this situation remind me of something," Nic said.

Emma look at Nic. "Which is??"

"Remember the movie we watch last time when we still in our world?? The one with the zombie in it? Our condition is no big difference than that... Because here is also messy!" said Nic.

"Oh, you mean the World War Z? Or the Resident Evil? Or the Train To Busan? Which one??" asked Emma.

"All of them... It still zombie's story, right??" said Nic again.

Emma nodded again. She look at the other food which still can be eaten. Suddenly she catch a slight movement from under the table near the counter. Without hesitation, Emma pointed her gun toward the table and ready to shoot. When Nic saw Emma suddenly pointed her gun to the right, Nic also increased her guard and ready with her gun.

"I saw something under the table," said Emma, using her mouth to pointed under the table.

"Is it the vampire?" asked Nic.

"I'm not sure.. We have to check it out..."

Emma slowly walked toward the table and she bow down to see who was under the table. When she look down, she was shocked to see a black-colour skin girl was sitting there with her head hanging low. She was silently crying there; she don't want anyone to hear her or she might be killed. The girl was in her 11 years old and wearing a pink dress.

"Hey, girl... What are you doing down there!??Come to me, I'll hold you," said Emma, reaching out her right arm toward the girl.

The girl was dumbfounded when the two women suddenly appeared in front of her. She look at Emma with a terrible face and didn't move any inch toward Emma. She was afraid that Emma was a vampire and use this trick to lure her out. She don't want to take that hand if she was going to day.

Seeing there is no movement from the girl, Emma quickly think another way to make the girl could trust them; because it was difficult to do her jobs if this girl didn't cooperate with them.

"Hey, don't be afraid. I'm not a vampire... I'm a soldier, I'll come here to help you... Take my hand and let me get you out from here," said Emma.

The girl still sit there, not moving on.

Emma sighed in frustration. Why do this girl make this hard for me!? We already come this far to search for survivors but in the end, they didn't trust in us.. Why do we still have to save people like this?

"Trust me, girl?? I won't bite you. I just want to hep you. You know I won't hurt you," said Emma with a soft voice. Even though she was feels frustrated, she still can manage to hold it and calmly talked to the girl again.

While, Nic was watching around them, prevent any danger that come toward them.

At last the girl take Emma's hand and Emma quickly pull her out from under the table. The girl groaned in pain; a soft pain but still could be heard by Emma.

Emma quickly checked on her condition to see where did she get hurt; she check on the her neck first to see if there is a vampire's bite or not. After Emma saw there is no vampire's bite, Emma sighed in relief. She checked on the other side of her body again.

Emma found that there is a tiny but deep scratch on the girls shoulder. "She's hurt. We have to treat her here before take her to the Base," Emma said while she take out the bandage from her bag.

"Do what you can..."Nic said and she just let Emma do the treatment as she also know that saving this girl's life also important. Loosing too much blood also cost her life other than killed by a vampire.

While Emma was trying to treat the girl, suddenly, three vampires appeared from nowhere and they attacked them; one of them grab the girl's legs and pulled her away from the Hunters.

"AARRGHHHH!!!!" The girl's voice echoing through all the café when the vampire pull her out to the dark corner.

"The girl!!!" shouted Emma. She didn't have the time to grab the girl's hands as she was distracted by the other vampire. She want to run over towards the girl but the other vampire blocked her way. The same thing happen to Nic. Nic also couldn't do anything to help the girl but she know they must save the girl.

"F.u.c.kk!!!" Nic shouted.

She look at the vampire in front of her with a very angry face before she swing her hand to the vampire. A full blast of Nic's punch causing the vampire to slide down toward the counter wall, almost knocked off by Nic but still could get up. Nic use this opportunity to shot him when the vampire tried to get up.

A few bullets released and the vampire was already dead. "Go to hell you son of a bitch!!!"

Nic quickly run as fast as she can to chased the girl again. She jumped on to a table and with a powerful jumped, she land over right onto the vampire who dragged the girl away.

They bumped into the floor with a loud noise.

Nic quickly get up and she pointed the gun toward the vampire. With another shooting again and the vampire is already dead. Nic sighed in relief when the vampire is over. She look at the girl who was crying on the floor. Nic checked the girl's condition using her torchlight. There was a new wound on the girl's legs which mean it was injured while she was dragged by the vampire a moment ago. "Shit!!!!"

While for Emma, she still struggling to fight the vampire when Nic was already running toward the girl. It was hard for Emma to fight the vampire since she was not strong enough; not like Becky.

Emma kicked her leg to the vampire's chest but the vampire grab her leg. Emma want to punch him again but the vampire was quicker than her. He lift up her body and throw her to the table. A loud noise was heard thorough the place when Emma's body bumped into it.

"Urrggghh!" Emma groaned in pain when she feel the pain through her body.

She even can feel her head was bleeding as she can feel there was a liquid flowing down from her forehead. She look at the vampire with an angry face. "You son of a bitch!!"

The vampire want to attacked Emma again but Emma quickly shoot him with her gun and the vampire burnt to dead.

Emma take a few minutes to calm herself before she walked back toward Nic and the girl. When she get there, Nic has already check on the girl's condition.

"She got a new wound.. Let's get her back to the Base..." Nic said as she lift her up onto her back.

Emmma nodded quickly. "Yeah, right... The Base..."
