Chapter Thirteen
Olga brooded over Rex’s obvious foul mood as she watched him walk with aggressive deliberation to where the zombie lay. He grabbed it by its feet and dragged it into the trees before heading back to the fence to continue pounding the post into the ground. Things clearly didn’t go as she’d hoped between him and Kendra. Did the foolish girl refuse him? She’d watched the way he looked at her as well as the way she looked at him. She could have sworn that they were equally attracted to each other. What happened.
As she headed out the door to assist Rex with the fencing, she made a mental note to have a talk with Kendra. She needed to understand that men like Rex wouldn’t be coming about one after the other. They were lucky that he came along at all. Rejecting him was a foolish move even if she didn’t have feelings for him; which she was sure that the girl did.
“I have to say that I’m impres

The alluring aroma of rosemary and roasting meat pulled Kendra from the deep and fitful sleep that centered on dreams of Rex and his rejection of her. Even though she could have easily done without the self-torturing dreams, she would have appreciated a bit more slumber for her tired body. Unfortunately, her empty stomach was on the alert and there’d be no more rest until it was satiated.She’d gone into her room right after they’d finished working on the fence, taken a quick shower, and then crawled onto her bed for what she thought would be a short rest. By the depth of darkness outside of her window, it was clear that she’d slept for hours instead of napping for minutes.Her stomach rumbled as she slowly crawled out of bed. She massaged her shoulder as best as she could while rotating it. The demands that she’d placed on her body while helping with the construction of the barrier around the camp had required the use of
Where Zombies Walk (Book 1 Kendra's Journey) Chapter Fifteen
Even though she fell into a deep sleep almost immediately, it didn’t last long. Fear of getting caught in Rex’s bed by her aunt or Felix robbed her of her sleep. She was of an age where having sex was expected of her, in fact, it would be mandated if the regime was aware of her. Even so, she wasn’t ready to share with her family what had occurred between her and Rex. She wasn’t confident in where they stood as far as their relationship was concerned. Was it strictly sex? Or, was he expecting more from her? They had no condoms so their sex was unprotected, but he’d pulled out of her every time he released his seed. What did that mean? Did it mean that he didn’t want to impregnate her because he didn’t want to start a new family? Did it mean that he wanted to enjoy her body without a commitment? If so, what would her aunt and cousin think? Would they approve? She doubted it.Until she knew exact

Baelil wiped the sweat off of his forehead and the back of his neck as he stopped to rest his horse. Reaching into his saddle bag, he pulled out a fresh shirt. Stripping the sweat soaked polo from his muscle defined torso, he rolled it up and put it in a small sack that was designated for such a purpose and donned a clean one that had been rinsed in lavender water to help retain its brightness and, therefore, gave off a light and refreshing lavender scent. They’d combed the area for weeks without any sign of the girl and her companions. How could they just up and disappear?“She has to be here somewhere,” Ari groaned as she pulled her horse up next to his and released the reins so that it could graze on the thick blades of grass that not only managed to survive the nuclear holocaust, but they’d grown back stronger than ever.It never ceased to amaze Baelil about how flexible and adaptable nature could be when it came to survival.&nbs

“You’ve missed a lot,” Felix said as he set a steaming cup of pine needle tea on the bedside table next to Kendra’s head. “Wake up, Kendra. Auntie wants you to go looking for Rex.”Kendra sat up with a start. “He’s missing?”“He went out hunting early this morning and hasn’t come back yet.”Kendra peered out of the window and into the dusky light. “What time is it?”“It’s late. You slept all day.” Felix had a teasing remark about how sex with Rex had worn her out on the tip of his tongue, but he kept it to himself. He’d not only received a killer lecture from his aunt about his teasing her that morning to the point of such embarrassment that she refused to leave her room, but he inherently knew that her exhaustion was from more than that. She’d basically been the backbone of their family unit for so long tha

Rex pulled his leg from the clear, cool water of the stream that he’d been fortunate to stumble upon hours earlier. The wound on his leg looked cleaner, and the bleeding had slowed considerably. He’d never been bitten by a rattler before so he had no idea how deep to cut to get the poison out. Since he could see his bone, he suspected that he’d gone further than was necessary. At least he’d managed to get enough of the poison out before it spread through his system. The little that did eke into his blood stream had made him nauseous, tired, and slightly disoriented to the point that he was forced to rest in a small grove of trees at the far end of the canyon where he’d made his kill.It was in this grove that he found the running water. After testing it to make sure that it was potable, he immersed his face in hopes of flushing the fog from his head. It didn’t completely bring the world back into clear view, but he w

Kendra packed up the makeshift tent that she’d assembled for the night and doused the fire with the remnants of the pine tea she’d made. It never tasted right when she made it, but, since she was on her own, it had to suffice.She took a moment to look around her for something that would clue her in on where to look for Rex. She was worried. She’d taken the route that he’d clearly gone when he left the camp, but it was so late in the day by the time she’d gotten herself packed up and out the door that she’d had to make camp less than thirty minutes out. She’d hoped that he’d see her campfire and join her on his way back to the compound. The thought of making love to him beneath the night sky was erotically appealing. In fact, it occupied the little bit of dreaming she did for the few times that she’d drifted into a light sleep. Sleeping was dangerous when on your own at night, so she was caref

Ari paced the interior of the small spa house. “I know that was her leaving the grounds late yesterday. I’d recognize her anywhere.”“This isn’t working like we thought it would,” Baelil complained. “Did you see her come back?”“Not before dark,” Ari grumbled. “We need to get out of here. I don’t trust that old woman. She looks at me funny.”“I get creeped out when she looks at me. It’s like she wants to eat me or something,” Baelil said with a shudder. “Do you think they’re cannibals?”“I didn’t get that impression from Kendra, but the old woman gives me pause to wonder. What’s with the long stares?”“Beats me,” Baelil said. “We dirtied up enough. I’m sure of that.” After a moment of silence, he added, “Why do they have a mutant living with them?&
Where Zombies Walk (Book 1 Kendra's Journey) Chapter Twenty-One
Felix sat on the front porch steps with his elbows resting on his knees, his head held low, and the shotgun an easy reach on the porch floor next to him. Things were a mess and he had no idea what to do about it. Kendra and Rex were missing and his aunt lay on the sofa in the great room with a bag of ice on her face. When he pouted about her condition and declared his remorse over having left the cave and exposing themselves to strangers like they had, she scolded him and said that they should be happy that there was ice to treat it. Had they still been living in the cave, she’d be suffering a lot more. When he proceeded to express concern over the fact that Kendra and Rex had been gone for two nights, she reminded him of the many times that Kendra had gone out hunting and how it had taken several days for her to return. She’d insisted that it wasn’t yet time to worry.He wished that he had a bow and arrow instead of the shotgun, but Kendra had t
