Would You Carry Me To The End?

Cure or Trap?

Frank's POV

Shxt. I forgot, ten minutes...
"Where have you been?!" shouts Mikey.
"Fxck, zombie!" shouts Gee, locking his arm around Maxine and holding his gun to her neck.
"I'm not a zombie." she says, getting a grip on his arm.
"She's not." I say. "I checked."
Gee reluctantly lets go of the girl and she takes a step away from him. "Twice in one day?" she says. "Are you kidding?"
And with that the two brothers notice the sight behind them. The half rotting bodies lying on the ground, motionless. None of us were used to any more than 10, at the most. They widen their eyes and walk over, kicking at the bodies.
"They're all dead." says Maxine. "I checked." then she turned to face me. "Look, Frank. Thanks for helping me out, but I better head off." and with that she turns around to begin walking away.
"Wait!" says Gerard, walking over to me with Mikey next to him.
"Yes?" she says, turning around to face him.
"Umm, hold on." they walk over to me, away from her earshot. "Look, Frank." says Gee, looking completely serious. "This is the biggest pack you've ever seen, isn't it?"
"Yeah, of course."
"...How did you handle it?"
"I didn't. She killed them all herself."
"She did? How?"
"Just by shooting and snapping their necks. It was like she was used to it."
"Did she say anything?"
"She just said it was 'boring, and there were usually at least a hundred.'
"So she can fight them off?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Then why are you letting her walk away?"
"What? What do you mean?"
He sighs, like I should have already guessed it. "If we get her to stay here, than we have our own personal fighter."
I stop myself from saying any remarks back. "Are you saying we should use her?"
"I'm not saying we could 'use her'. I'm saying she would be useful."
Mikey's looking at Gerard like he's crazy. "She's probably a trap, Gee. Did you ever think of that? She might just be on their side. Before we know it she'll be giving us lethal injections in our sleep."
"NO." I say. I'm not gonna bring a stranger in just to use them. "N-O." But before I can even finish speaking, Gerard's waked over to Maxine, and I reluctantly follow, giving up on arguing.
"Hi, so, um, what's your name?"
"Maxine."
"Right, Maxine. I'm Gerard."
"Hey."
"Hey. Well, basically, we were wondering if you wanted to stay here for a while?"
"No, thanks." she says.
Maybe it's not such a bad idea. Maybe she could stay for a while. I mean, this is the first human we've seen in so long. Not to mention...she is a girl.
Wait, no, what are you thinking, Frank? Off track. I have to stay focused on the one and only point in this struggle. I don't need distractions.
Oh, who am I kidding, yes I do. I walk up to the two. "Maybe, you should stay for a while." I say.
"Thanks for the offer guys, but I have to head back."
"Where? You said yourself you live out in the open. It's safer here."
she keeps silent, tongue tied, knowing it's true.
"Come on, we don't bite." says Gee, chuckling.
"Fine. But only for a few weeks."
"Fantastic." I say, smiling. "Come on, Maxine, let's go." And with that she sighs and follows us into the house. All I can do now is hope the future goes as good as I'm imagining it right now...
********************
I walk outside and see Maxine working at the outdoor table. I don't think she's noticed me yet. She's working with her medical box next to her, or at least, that's what I think it is. She has her syringes out scattered, but lying on a cloth damp with rubbing alcohol.
I watch her examining the liquid in her beakers. What is she even doing? The long locks of hair hanging loose in the front flutter a bit in the breeze, contrasting with the rest of the short chosen cut.
Then she looks up at me with her emerald green eyes. "Can I help you?"
I walk, no, I practically run over to her and sit on the opposite chair. "Watcha doing?" I say. I feel like a 12 year old boy, trying to get his school crush to notice him. Except I don't have a crush on her. Do I? I don't think so.
"Just working on some experiments."
"Like what?"
"Checking a few antidote recipes."
"Antidotes?"
"You...do know what an antidote is, right?"
Antidote...antidote...as I look up at her, I forget the entire definition. "Forgot..."
She chuckles. "Basically, I think I found a cure."
"A cure? For what?"
"Are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah, of course." Why is she asking if I feel ok? Is the answer obvious?
She leans in, like she's about to start on a whole new topic."I think I might be on the brink of being able to turn zombies back into humans..."
