Draw your sword and charge forward
From Create Your Own Story
If you can't help her with your gun, you have to help her with your blade. You draw your sword and charge forward.
Holly shoots the attacking zombie in the head. As she looses her bolt, the flashlight drops. You reach out and make a nice one-handed catch with your left hand while holding your sword in your right.
"Thanks," she says as she reloads. Taking careful aim, she fires at two zombies who are very close together. The bolt goes all the way through the skull of the first creature and embeds itself in the head of the second. She pumps her fist at the twofer. The two of you then finish off the remaining zombies with your swords, chopping their heads off one by one.
When all the undead have been turned dead again, Holly turns to you with a smile. "Shall we, Marina?"
She seems so calm after battle. She must be used to combat. "Of course," you say.
After wedging up the exit again with stones, the two of you begin making your way through the stone tunnels again. Finally, a side opening appears on the right side of a passage. There is a narrow, steep spiral staircase leading upward. You emerge in the kitchen.
"Killing zombies makes me hungry," says Holly. "And it's almost dinnertime anyway." She washes her hands, then opens the refrigerator and begins removing items.
"Marina, there's something I have to tell you." She leans in close. "We have three other people in the castle. You'll meet them at dinner. Strangers, people we took in when the zombie apocalypse started. Jack and I suspect that one of them is...helping the zombies. I know it sounds crazy, but there have been barricades removed, windows left open, supplies disappearing...That's why I like to take care of the cooking myself. I don't want anyone putting any extra ingredients in the food."
You perk up. Despite the situation, you were never able to resist a mystery. "Do you suspect anyone more than the others?"
"No. They all have their little quirks." She smiles. "I know I can trust you because you weren't here when those things happened. And Jack and I trust Annabelle because she's an old family friend. Let's make sure to keep this between the four of us, okay?"
"Of course."
Holly places a large pile of spaghetti and meatballs into a big pot and turns on the stove. "We grow fresh fruits and vegetables in a small garden in a courtyard. It's surrounded on all sides by the castle, so zombies can't get to it. Can you watch the pot while I collect some? Or would you rather go outside?"
