Zombie Armageddon 2: Walking with Zombies

Thomas skirted past the two men and grabbed Marlene’s hands. Dominic saw Bernard begin to stir.
“It’s working!” Talbot fell to his knees and stroked the man’s cheeks, “I can already hear his thoughts.”
Dominic walked toward his companions, he sighed then pushed them through the door before raising his gun and shooting Bernard in the face. Talbot’s head spun around, “You fucker!” he snarled, “I’m going to eat your fucking heart for that.”
Dominic jumped back as the man climbed off the shattered body. He fired again, the bullet took Talbot in the throat, the big man kept on coming. He whimpered and pressed the trigger again, this time nothing happened. He threw the empty gun at Talbot and followed his friends into the lounge.
“What did you do that for?” cried Thomas, “He said we could go.”
Dominic looked back, the man was crawling out of the kitchen, “Marlene, take him upstairs, you know where to go.”
“Why did you shoot him?”
“He was making another monster, Marlene. I’m sorry, I couldn’t let him.” Dominic pushed them over to the stairs.
Dominic turned to see Talbot standing up; the hole in the man’s throat had already healed.
“Now what are you going to do, little man?” he rasped. “You’re out of ammo and luck. I’m going to tear you into little pieces. You’ll be screaming for me to kill you quickly.”
To his relief, he saw that those two had heeded his advice, perhaps he should have gone with them, Bernard was bound to have another weapon stashed away somewhere, then he looked at the unmarked man, he’d need a blinking cannon to take him down. Talbot advanced. Dominic turned and ran into the vestibule, he had one chance left, his life was over but his sacrifice may allow his friends to live. Talbot was right behind him and closing fast, he must have realised what he was about to do.
Dominic threw both bolts back, Talbot roared and ran at him, he grabbed the handle and opened the door. Dozens of the things spilled into the vestibule, they climbed other each other to get to Talbot, the big man spun around and ran for the door but it was too late, a young boy and a blonde woman climbed onto his back, biting him like mad dogs.
Talbot fell to the floor as more and more piled on top of him, he then saw one of the things look directly at him, it moaned then shuffled toward him, Dominic sobbed as more of them took an interest in him, he realised that he didn’t want to die. The man ran into the lounge, he looked back and saw half a dozen had followed him in. They were already by the stairs, he couldn’t escape. He was doomed. Dominic closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable.
A pair of hands fell upon his shoulders and dragged him back. Dominic smelt disinfectant and the subtle odour of male pee. He opened his eyes to see the singer smiling at him.
“That man was saving me for later.” He leaned against the toilet door and shivered, “I heard him inside my head, he told me that he planned to share me with your boss. I’m so glad they are dead.”
Dominic took the singer’s hand and gently squeezed, he felt a delicious thrill when the man squeezed back.
“My name is Andrew and so I’m happy you’re here with me.”
Dominic gazed into the man’s eyes, he smiled. “So am I.”
