The first thing they saw when they opened the door was a quiet and deserted alley. The two of the quickly got out and closed the door shut, doing their best to not make noise that could potentially attract the attention of any zombie.
After they had made sure that the alleyway was safe and they didn't attract any zombie, they started moving forward, slowly and stealthily out of the alleyway.
The rain and snow has already stopped falling and the sun was high up in the sky, but the ground was still very wet and almost slippery for the both of them, but they quickly got used to it as they walked.
After so short minutes of walking, they finally got to the end of the alleyway. At the end of the alleyway was an isolated, deserted and empty side street, filled with so abandoned vehicles.
They didn't say anything to each other as they started walking down the side street. As they walked, they made sure to be as quiet as possible and check their surroundings for any potential danger.
The alleyway stretched out in eerie silence, flanked by tall, dilapidated brick buildings that lood like forgotten sentinels over the narrow passage.
Discarded garbage bags spilled their rotting contents, their sll mingling with the acrid stench of damp and decay that clung to the air. Puddles of murky water dotted the uneven ground, reflecting the sunlight.
Abandoned carts, toppled trash bins, and scattered debris created an obstacle course that spoke of panic and chaos long past.
A broken chain-link fence, half-crumpled against a wall, rattled softly in the wind, its tallic whine the only sound breaking the oppressive quiet.
Luckily for them, the side street was completely empty of any living being or moving creature, zombies naly.
They continued making their way down the side street and half through, they could see the faint silhouette of what looks like a high rise residential building from afar.
The both of them looked at each and they could see the smiles in their eyes. They imdiately quickly their steps, but still making sure to be as quiet and cautious as possible.
They had already walked more than half the distance and they could now see the building clearer than before, and it was just as they hoped. It was a residential building and one that that's still standing perfectly.
"Co on, let's go," Ms. Ves said with a smile as she tapped Leo's shoulder lightly.
Leo smiled back and nodded at her. He looked at the building and started walking towards it, but his steps and Ms Ves' stopped the next mont and they looked at each other with an alarming expression on their faces.
The next mont, a short gust of wind blew and a silver gleam was seen from the corner of Leo's eyes. Instinctively and imdiately, he raised the tal shard in his hand to defend himself.
The loud sound of tal striking each other was heard and a low grunt escaped Leo's mouth, as he was pushed back a little.
He quickly steadied himself and looked at whatever it was that attacked him, and he was shocked by what he saw.
'A cat?' He asked himself incredulously.
He didn't understand how it was possible but the creature in front of him—the thing that attacked him—looks like a cat.
The only difference between this creature and the regular cats he knew was that it's bigger than them. The creature in front of him was big and looked almost the sa as tigers, but smaller. It looked more like a lynx.
Its black fur was also different as it had a tallic gleam to it, and its blue, slit eyes looked like it was glowing.
Leo knew that the only thing he can do at the mont was to fight this creature in front of him.
And as if you confirm his thought, the cat attacked the next mont as it lunged at him and clawed at his face, but Leo was equally quick to react.
He dodged the attack by a hair and took so steps back, creating so distance between him and the creature.
Leo found out that even though he was quick to react, he was still too slow compared to the speed of the creature.
"Too fast."
He imdiately thought of what to do as he assessed the situation. Fighting the creature with just the tal shard in his hand would be him putting his life in danger.
The tal shard wasn't strong enough as it was nearly torn apart from the first attack. This could be seen from the long claw mark on it.
He quickly thought of sothing and looked to Ms. Ves position but it seems like he didn't need to tell her what to do, as she rushed towards the creature.
"Leo, let's kill this thing together. Work with ," She said as she swiped her claws at it, but the creature was too fast as it easily dodged her attack.
Leo didn't dawdle as he moved and flanked the creature at the other size, trying to corner and box it in.
The creature was now caught in the middle, being circled by Ms. Ves and Leo. It hissed as it studied their movents and the next mont, it attacked.
Like a phantom, it appeared directly in front of Ms. Ves the next mont and swiped at her face. It quickly wants to take care of the this strange slling being and turn its attention to the human.
Just as the creature's attack was about to connect to Ms Ves' face, she attacked. With a swift movent, she took a step to her left to give herself a better positioning and without wasting any ti, she squeezed and drove her fist into the side of the creature's stomach, aiming for the soft flesh just beneath its ribs.
Her attack seed to have worked as the creature let out a guttural growl, staggering back as the blow montarily knocked the air from its lungs.
"Leo, now!" She shouted but her shout was redundant as Leo had already made his move.
Pushing his leg off the ground, he rushed at the creature and stabbed the tal shard into one of its eye.
A tearing sound and squelching sound was heard as the tal shard penetrated the eyes of the creature, causing a loud shriek and whimper to escape from its mouth.
Leo saw this but didn't give it to react or attack, as he pushed the tal shard deeper into its eyes. Blood was now flowing freely from the creature's punctured eyes.
The creature continued to scream and whimper. It flailed it paws in a bid to claw and attack its assaulter but Leo made sure not to step in the range of its claws.
He gritted his teeth and shoved the tal shard in one more ti. Squelching sound was heard as the tal shard penetrated deeper and blood was now flowing from the eyes of the creature.
Leo's breath ca in short gasps, his heart pounding like a drum in his ears. He wasn't sure if he could keep up, but the thought of letting Ms. Ves fight alone forced him to press forward.
With one final shove, the tal shard penetrated deep enough.
The creature let out one final, bloodcurdling screech as the shard pierced deep into its skull. Its convulsions shook the ground beneath Leo's feet before it went completely still, its glowing eyes dimming like extinguished flas.
