Teresa Young's Point of View

Gasp, D-Duy shot the Headhunter’s knees! Wait, that’s right! All mutated have a weakness, and this one’s is its legs! Headhunters have enormous upper body strength but don’t understand the concept of leg day.

Luke put the Headhunter in a full Nelson?!

“I got it, Duy,” Luke announces as he continues to wrestle with the Headhunter. “Teresa! Move!”

I want to move, Luke, but I’m so scared! Its teeth. Just being a mere few meters away from its teeth is sending so many icy chills down my spine. How many are there? One hundred, one thousand? Why does it have a second mouth on its stomach? If my skin even grazes one of those horrific teeth, I’ll be dead meat!

I can’t run! All I can do is continue scooting my butt backward, but I’m gonna inevitably run into the wall. It’s still pursuing and swiping at me on its knees, despite its injuries. Not to mention, the fact that the zombies will make it over the damaged truck at any moment. And as if things couldn’t get any worse, a second Headhunter is coming our way! What are we gonna do?

“Not good!” Luke yells out as Headhunter A begins to violently shake its body, similar to how a wet puppy dries itself.

It sent Luke flying down the alleyway, towards Headhunter B!

“Teresa, I got you!” Duy assures as he puts Headhunter A into his own Full Nelson.

My hero! You’re much stronger than Luke so you’ll be able to save me. Um… what in the?

“HAH!” Duy shouts as he puts his hands on the monster’s waist and thigh, using all of his strength to lift it for a…suplex.

“Look out, Duy!” I yell.

“Huh?” Duy asks in confusion like a dummy, followed by the monster headbutting him.

The monster’s recovery speed is astronomical, and it’s still focused on me.

“Run, Teresa!” Duy yells out in pain.

Run? Run where?!

“Teresa! Use this!” Luke yells as he slides me a metal pipe.

This is ridiculous. Oh no, here it comes!

I can’t believe this. One slight scratch would’ve easily killed me, and somehow I mustered up the strength to do such an insane thing. It can’t bite me with that pipe in between its stomach and mouth. Ah, no more! I have to run, now!

“Eat this!” Luke yells out as he throws a trash can at Headhunter B’s legs. “Monster!” He shouts angrily as he bashes its head in with a brick.

“Teresa, look out!” Duy and Luke yell out in unison.

Shit! Headhunter A!

What the fuck? From above, a human body just fell and crushed Headhunter A before it could get me. It’s not a zombie or a mutated? It was a living human being?! Someone just… no! This is too much. To be saved by such a horrific act, shit! The zombies are coming from both sides of the alleyway now, and Headhunter A is slowly healing.

“Duy!” Luke calls out in worry.

“Hey, you three! Get the fuck inside, quick!” A man yells out from a newly half-opened door.

Heh, and I’m the first one to sprint to safety. Nothing’s changed. I still can’t grow up, and I’m still such a selfish coward.
