Understanding all the changes that had occurred in the system Matthew prepared to leave and continue his journey toward the refectory when he heard noises near the door, entering into a combat posture I prepared for whatever was coming.

As Matthew waited for whatever was out there to approach, he began to sweat and tremble with fear, although Matthew had already fought some monsters and could be considered as having a small combat experience, that didn't stop him from to be frightened, especially scared of the unknown, although it was unlikely and if it were be a stronger monster than the zombie, who was coming towards him? And when Matthew was at his peak of anxiety, finally, what was out there appeared and to the surprise of Matthew was actually one woman, while relaxing and leaving the fighting stance Matthew said:

"Shit, you almost scared the shit out of me, and if you come to me for food, I will not even give you a packet of popcorn, if you want something, seek the food with your own ability."

A woman who appeared to be about eighteen approached Matthew while he watched her, she had a relatively tall body for women, especially for women her age, she seemed to be about 5'7 ft tall, with long brown hair that reached her waist, a white skin that was extremely similar to snow, eyebrows that matched perfectly with his black eyes, look into his eyes was like looking into space, it was a deep dark with a touch of brightness in them, she had a straight nose that matched with her face perfectly and a beautiful rosy lip, plus a pair of freckles that only made her prettier, was when she spoke in a half-annoyed, half-sweet tone to Matthew.

"First, is this a way to treat a lady? Second, is it rude to stare at people like that, did you know?"

Matthew embarrassed scratching his nose as he answered her:

"Sorry for my rudeness, but I will not go back on my words, I need this food to survive, if you want food, guarantee your food alone."

She tapped her feet softly as she crossed her arms and said:

"Are you that stupid? You have not even introduced yourself to me and you're already assuming I want your food."

Matthew then began to introduce yourself, but when him realized that it was impossible for her to reach this staff room without danger, he put his hand back and folded his arms over his chest, since even he only managed to get here after much difficulty and said:

"I'm Matthew, if you're not here to pick up food so what are you here for?"

She then answered Matthew as she sighed:

"Looks like I didn't find a gentleman, well, I'm Bethany Clifford, I'm a freshman in college, I went into that college to do the programming course, and you?"

Matthew subtly lowered his arms and grasped the handle of his sword as he answered her:

"I'm in my sophomore year and I went to college to take the T.I course, I'll ask you one more time, tell me what you want from me, otherwise I'll kill you."

Bethany then stepped back in fear as she regained her posture and stepped forward again as she swollen her chest and said:

"I doubt you could kill someone, you just not look like a psychopath who would kill me for no reason."

Matthew, seeing his trick failed, sighed as he released the handle of his sword and said:

"Could you please tell me what you want?"

Bethany opened a charming smile on her face as if she had won a great battle and said:

"I was hiding in my room when I saw you killing all those zombies, it was just amazing, they were all standing there in one moment and the next moment they died, although I was worried and scared that you had become one of them when you fell to the ground after a zombie attacked you. "

Matthew shuddered at the thought of the danger he ran and asked her:

"How can you be so sure I wouldn't kill you if you saw me killing all those zombies?"

Bethany answered in a tone of absolute certainty, as if she had no chance of her being wrong:

"Intuition of a woman I would say, you just don't look like the guy who would kill someone."

Matthew thought how clever she was, well he might have killed zombies, but that was a totally different case, the zombies were already dead and the zombies could no longer be considered human.

And then Bethany said:

"I came here to make a request, I don't want your food, I want you to let me accompany you."

Matthew walked and passed her as she spoke:

"I did not even want to give you food, why would I protect you? Ask another person, I'm not available, and I don't want to do that."

Bethany desperately held his hand as her made a face of weeping, which would soften any man:

"You can't leave me here, I'm going to die if you leave me here."

And then she started to cry softly, Matthew turned and couldn't help but feel a slight hint of guilt when he said:

"I may consider taking you, but what would you have to offer me? I will not help anyone whom I deem useless."

Bethany then released Matthew and wiped her tears as she spoke.

"I'm sorry if I looked like a woman useless and crybaby, but I don't know anyone in this city, I traveled from another state to here to get in this college, I wouldn't survive a minute in this world, I was just scared to death when I heard all the screams in the campus and I can to be useful to you, I worked half-time as a sales clerk in a supermarket, I was responsible for many jobs like organizing the deposit supermarket and buy when something is missing, then you can consider me as a good logistic officer. "

Matthew paused for a second and thought of the pros and cons that accepting her to be his companion would have and said:

"Sorry, I still refuse to take you, I don't need any spoiled girls who will cry over everything I say and do."

Bethany then said without thinking twice:

"I'm not spoiled, I mean, I never had the chance to be spoiled, my parents died in a car accident when I was about eight years old, I went to live with my grandparents, but they were already a old age and when I was fourteen i finally was alone in the world, I always took care of myself, so I worked half-time as a store clerk, except for a couple of friends of my grandparents who took care of me from time to time, I've practically been on my own for the last four years. "

Matthew then grinned as he spoke.

"Very well I'll take you with me then, but if you turn a dead weight for me we'll go separate ways again."

Bethany then opened an extremely sweet smile as she said:

"YAY."
