Under Siege

                                    

                                          
Avi ran to the entrance where soldiers were already firing at the mob of zombies coming after them, snarling and growling as they clawed at the soldiers that dared to get too close. Their long and dirty nails tore at their skin and clothing and the monsters paid little to no attention to Avi, now one of their own. She took in her surroundings, the blasts and gunshots overwhelming her.
"Avi! Avi what are you doing get down!" Max ordered, pulling her out of the range of fire. "Snap out of it! I need you in reality right now, sis!"
"I- right!" She nodded, snapping back to her senses. "The zombies are ignoring me."
"Because you're one of them now! So what?"
"I have an idea." Max grabbed her arm as she tried to stand up and pulled her back down.
"Are you crazy? I'm not losing you like I lost mom."
"Trust me max. Please." Avi pleaded with a new lively gleam in her eye. "I'll find you after this, I promise."
She smiled and got up so she could grab someone's gun. She grabbed a nearby rifle and loaded it, popping the magazine into place and pulling the trigger. She practically cleared the floor with some of the other zombies and she cheered as they started dying one by one. Others soon followed her lead, and some even threw Molotovs into the crowd of corpses to keep them from coming closer.
Danny watched the whole thing from the machine gun post. He knew something was going on. Something they couldn't see.
"Avi! You have to catch one!"
"What?!"
"You have to catch one! We can study it to figure out what's going on!"
Avi swore under her breath and scanned the area for a suitable subject. When she finally found one, she bolted through the active warzone as the dust began to kick-up. Danny held his breath as his best friend disappeared from sight. Everything went quiet, and Danny audibly sighed in relief when he saw Avi walking back with a gunshot to the back and a relatively unharmed female zombie.
"You are a badass."
"Make sure to tell your cousin." She giggled and passed her off to the professionals. "Think she'll be ok?"
"Too early to tell, we'll have to wait and see how she responds to testing."
"I'm gonna check on Trix. You go check on bella and Issac."
"Be careful ok?" He said before running off towards the bunker. 
Avi walked up to trixy's room and slowly opened the door. Trixy was in the middle of getting changed and was in a sports bra and shorts. Avi's face turned a dark red and she started stuttering.
"Woah-! I am so sorry Trix, I totally should've knocked..!" She exclaimed in embarrassment as she hid her gaze, trying to be respectful.
"It's ok." She giggled and walked over.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Me? No. Being kept on the machine guns means I'm not in the crossfire. But you..." She paused and put her fingers over the bullet wound in avi's back.
Avi grabbed her wrist and pulled it back. "Don't worry about me. You are my only concern right now, don't switch that role." She whispered as she looked into her eyes and loosened her grip on trixy's wrist.
"I can't help it. After losing you once already-"
"Stop." She cut her off, forcing her to look at her. "I'm not going anywhere this time. You better get damn well used to me because I'm gonna be around for a long time."
"I know, but there's still a chance that could change..."
"It's not going to." She said sternly. "Look, Trix, there's something I need to get off my chest..."
"Avi, you know you can tell me anything." Trixy whispered and cupped her cheek with one hand.
Avi took a deep breath. "I.. I think I'm in love with you trixy. I think I have been for a while, before this whole thing ever started. And I know that me being like *this* is gonna complicate things, but I-"
Avi gasped in surprise when trixy suddenly pulled her in for a kiss on the lips, her hands almost instantly going to stabilize her waist.
"I've been waiting for that rough facade to crack for 2 years Avi Lynn... You definitely took your time." Trixy giggled, avi's heart thumped in her chest. Her head began running in circles until trixy grabbed her by the shirt and dragged her to the bed after she locked the door...
