We walked through the football field as we tried to locate Lester's car. As we made way around court, like an alarm was rung, an army of sick people came pushing through every corner of the main building and they where coming straight for us.

Lena let out a scream as we began to run.

" Fuck!!!" I screamed in frustration as I ran with the guys at my heels we ran as fast as we could but the sick people where faster than we imagine.

"Shit they are fast" Elise screamed as she ran faster. Like the universe was totally mad at me, I tripped on my own foot and fell face down.

"Ethel!" I heard my name being screamed as I tried to get myself up. I pushed myself up but I was pushed down as a heavy weight fell on me.

Damn those things stink. I heard the gnashing of teeth and the snarling close to my ears which wasn't a pleasant sound at all.

My elbow collided with it's face as I used my legs to kick it off me. Elise then grabbed me by the collar and pulled me towards her. I then managed to get up and looked around.

Lester was pulling Lena along with him as he ran. Jake was bashing the heads of some of the sick people as I closed up on him. I grabbed my bat and hit the sick people beside me hard and it's head just splattered.

My insides churned as I watched it's shaking body hit the ground. I kept chanting in my head that they where dead and we're only ridding them of the agony. Yes... We are only helping not killing right?.

We soon got to where Lester and Chloe where and Lester was already starting the car. We all jumped in and I was breathing heavily.

The car started almost immediately as we rode down the road which was clear of sick people. But cars where everywhere and blood. I sneaked a glance at Lena who was doing everything in her power to avoid looking at the road.

I really felt bad for the poor girl. She was so Little to be going through this but she's really lucky she has a brother as fine as Lester ..... I mean..... Like Lester.

He really really obviously cared for his sister and I'm sure he'll do anything to keep her safe.

Lester drove down the road in a moderate speed which was really starting to piss me off. I mean everything was starting to piss me off.

"Hey look!" Elise said as she pointed to my right. It was shop which had a sign.

" Rob's Gun shop"

Lester made a sharp turn I nearly hit my head in the window.

"Hey!" He muttered a sorry and kept driving to find a parking spot.

"Does anyone know how to handle a gun?" Jake asked as he looked around.

"I do" Lena said smiling widely

"Anyone apart from the Kid" I laughed at her pissed face she's so so cute.

"I do" Lester said and they all turned to look at i and Elise.

"Urm .....I know how to paintball guns..." I shrugged

"Yhup me too" Elise grinned.

"So no gun for you guys" Lester smiled and I scoffed as I shrugged in my seat.

"Yeah I think it's better we stick to a bat yeah?" Elise looked at me and I sighed.

"Yes Elise a bat is the best option"

We pulled into the parking lot of the gun shop which was clear no cars what so ever was in sight and it didn't look damaged at all.

"Well this shop looks good" Jake said and I nodded. Weird right?.

"So ... I'll go in first and scout the place for those things. If the place is clear I'll call you guys in" Lester said.

"I'll come with" Lena said with fear all over her voice.

"No you stay here and protect them yeah?" She nodded as she looked down at her feet.

"I'll come with you" I said

"Fine you can come with " he nodded and looked at Jake "keep an eye out for those things" Jake nodded and Lester and I walked into the shop.

We went through the other side as Lester suggested we use the back doors. The door was huge and black. It was very very old. And it was locked.

Lester looked around and found a crowbar which he used to open the door. Honestly, I don't know how he did it. I was busy looking around for any signs of sick people. And I was worried Incase there was an alarm

After a deep breath, we walked into the shop our chest heaving well maybe just mine but I was scared. Lester was right in front of me as we walked slowly.

As we got the to middle, I looked around in awe. The whole shop was covered in guns, grenades, and some other things I don't know.

"Well there's a lot" and I nodded we should've brought a large bag. Immediately that thought crossed my mind, I looked around and saw large duffel bags hanging on the wall.

"I think we should call the others so we can pack more weapons" i said and he nodded in agreement.

We called the others in and handed them duffel bags and we began to pack. Jake was so so excited like he won a lottery as he picked the guns and examined them. How can someone be so happy for guns.

"You seem really happy" Elise voiced out my mind. See.... Twin thing.

"Yeah.... My dad always took me hunting so... We usually picked out the guns together" he smiled sadly and my heart ached for him.

"Hey I need the keys to these beautiful knives thingy" I said trying to change the subject. Jake then walked over to my place and peered into the glass.

"Step back" he said and I did as he said. He looked around and picked a small metal stick and smashed the glass with it. I flinched at the sound and stared at him. "there.... You don't need a key now" .

"Thanks champ" I said and he smiled.

"Do you think you can open this one too?" Lester called from behind us and we all turned to look. I began to laugh as Jake rolled his eyes.

"I'm not Thor or superman" and I laughed even more. Soon, Elise joined me. Well it was a cage where the guns are kept to be safe. And it was well...chained and only a key can open it.

"Found the key!" Lena said and we all looked down at her

"Thanks kiddo" Lester took the key and I turned back to get a knife. Since guns weren't an option knives are the best. I looked around the sharp knives which looked very pretty and chose three sexy sharp ones.

"Y'all done?" Lester asked and we nodded.

"Wait I think we should look at the back" I said

"I'm coming with" Lester said as we walked around back with our duffel bags. We found some plastic plates abd cups with utensils which we stuffed.

"There's a lot of water lucky us" I smiled as I picked some bottles and Lester did the same.

"We're done" I bent to tie the bag and I felt a cold metal at the back of my head and I heard a gun cocked.

"Turn around slowly and don't do anything stupid or I'll blow your head off" a male voice sounded behind me. We dropped our bags slowly as I turned to look at Lester.

Shit.

    A tear dropped from my eyes as I smiled at the letter. Elise left me a letter I just couldn't think of how awesome that was . My hands shook as I folded the paper and looked at the map over and over again. I was so happy I couldn't think straight. I stuffed the paper at my back pocket as I hurriedly went to the door with my hands full. I ran towards the car which was now swarming with zombies. Carlos was shooting as I got to the car. I think I helped him by drawing the attention to myself because Carlos was able to shoot ten at once but more where coming. One was so close to Carlos I had to drop the things I got cause my hands where really full. I ran straight towards the zombie and bashed it's head in with my bat which was underneath my pits. It made a weird gurgling sound and fell down jerking with ugly rotten blood gushing out of it's head. I got above it and kept bashing it's head till it stopped moving. Sighing, I wiped my forehead with the sleeve of my shirt and looked at Carl

    I woke up to the sound of screaming from downstairs. Lena was beside me."I was about to wake you up" she said "I think something is happening to Mr Carlos and Abby has been crying" she said .," Go stay with her I'll find out what's going on" I said as I stood up.. I walked down the stairs and I was welcomed with people's scream .I could see Amanda at the front trying to calm the crowd. "Carlos murdered Tim!" An elderly woman screamed."He has to leave " "Yeah!!!" The crowd chorused and I began angry how dare they. "Stop!!" I screamed as I got closer. "y'all are here screaming but you don't know shit! Carlos' wife was taken hostage by The men Jason led here to kill you guys. Innocent lives where lost and now Carlos is the bad guy?" They all went quiet as they looked at who'll talk. "But he still killed someone we don't feel safe around him he has to leave" a woman with thick black hair spoke up "No need to worry I and my daughter are leaving first thing tomorrow morning" I di

    Carlos pacing was starting to get annoying that it made me hungry. Greg brought me a bottle of orange juice as we all waited for Jason to arrive. We barely said a word to each other cause the air was tight Savannah was just biting her nails as she looked around. She seemed restless and I felt she knew something we didn't. "So.... What do we do?" Greg whispered. "I don't know Greg " I said as I looked at Carlos angry face. " Things will really get bad if Jason shows up Carlos is too mad " Amanda was right his eyes where clouded with anger." Maybe if Jason comes, we should tie him up or just restrain him and try to get Carlos to calm down. Before he does something" I said and Greg nodded. ." I have some ropes " Greg said " If you get the ropes we'll need you at the front door for when he arrives and you'll grab in from behind while I stall him" and he nodded "Great let me go grab the ropes" Greg said and I nodded. Savannah watched us with suspicious eyes as Greg went to the d

    The next wasn't any easier. We woke up very early and began to move the dead zombies so we could burn them. A lot of people kept complaining about the weight but I just did what I could so that I could leave right away. The sun was already up when we finished moving the bodies and I was very tired I needed a nap. After a shower, I took a nap and woke up very late in the evening when it was raining heavily. I sighed as I looked outside ."Dammit" I said I overslept and now we where stuck one more night. "Ethel..are we staying here?"Lena asked. We where eating dinner. "Well it's too late and the rain isn't helping " she nodded. "don't you want to stay here?" "I like it it's good but we need to find Lester" i sighed and nodded. I had totally forgotten she also had someone to find. We needed to move by tomorrow I just hope we find. The night sky was clouded with rain clouds and the stars weren't visible at all. I couldn't sleep at all so I sat by the window staring into the dark

    I woke up to the sound of shuffling. I looked around in severe panic as I looked at Lena's side. She was awake and she looked at me. "Ethel....... what's going on" she said looking as confused as I was. "I don't know kiddo let me check" I stood up and peeped out of the window. I saw a lot of people down shooting at some zombies which were approaching in a herd . I immediately ran to my bag fishing out my gun. It was loaded and ready to go. "Stay here and keep your head down" she looked like she wanted to say something but she just nodded. I bursted out of the room and I ran towards the stairs. I stopped when I spotted Amanda. At the bottom of the stairs. "Where are you going" she said and I just pushed passed her."Well I'm going to take those things out " I said and I ran out. I nearly laughed at the way they where shooting. They where just wasting bullets. They stood too far from the zombies and moved back when they got closer. I sighed as I ran back inside. I'm sure there

    We've been cooped up in this house for a week now and I was starting to go crazy. Apart from the reoccurring nightmares about that day. The day I stabbed someone to death the day I watched a man struggle as he took his last breath. Lena usually tells me about my sleep talking every morning. We decided it was finally time to get more ammo. And I thought it would be nice to return to the shop we went first where we found Moe and Kayla. I was presently seated on the floor next to Lena who was sleeping soundly. We already planned on going to the shop the next day and I was having a hard time trying to sleep. The next morning came in a rush. I packed most of the things the night before since I couldn't sleep. By the time we where done, the car trunk was full. I looked back at the house it really saved us. Lena was already in the car when I got in." You ready kiddo?" Lena nodded as I started the car. I hit reverse. Zombies that I haven't noticed started walking out of thier hiding

    I stopped as my heart began to pound heavily in my chest. I took in a deep breathe as I faced Michael. He had a sinister smirk on his lips as he looked deep into my eyes. I flexed his exposed tattooed biceps as he watched me. " Wow.,... The world is really a small place" he said and my heart beats increased. I wasn't even worried about myself all I could think about was Lena. If anything should happen to me she'll be all alone and I doubt that kid would survive I have to do everything I can to get the hell out of here."Are you following me?" I asked and his chest vibrated with his laughter building up. "Oh please...... And come to think of it you didn't say a word through out our encounter I actually thought you where a mute brave little girl" I scoffed as I watched him smirk "and you really really showed me how brace you are dear " there was something in the way he said it that made my heart sink. I had to think fast cause just standing and having a stare of with him won't do me

    I peered down at Lena as I saw her bloody hands. She looked really scared and I know she was in a lot of pain. I then carried her as fast as I could into the house as I set her down. I began to rummage through our medical supplies. I found a bottle of peroxide and some cotton balls but I know I wasn't ready to stich just yet well I hope it doesn't need stitches.She was crying softly when I returned and my heart sunk. "Here swallow this it will numb the pain "I said as I passed her some pain killers and sleeping pills. She down them at once and I waited for a few minutes and yhup she fell asleep.I used the scissors to cut through her shirt. The wound wasn't deep to require stiches and heart beat lessened a little. I shifted the fabrics and dipped the cotton into the peroxide. I cleaned around the wound and then poured a little in it to avoid any infection and we were out of antibiotics so I had another trip to make but this time alone. I wrapped her wound and carried her to the r

    The people who lived in the house left a lot. There where clothes few snacks and lots of water. The medical kit was all stacked up and it made everything easier. But the only problem was that maybe the food was expired because I doubt they left not too long. "I found some clothes" Lena announced as she put on long sleeved shirt which looked a little bit big but she pulled it off. I guess the kid was a little older than her. I walked into the master's bedroom and fished out some clothes mostly dresses tho. Which was starting to piss me off then I found some trousers and overalls. We had to change cause especially me, smelt like decayed corpses"Look I found a radio" Lena said and I sighed as I took it from this was the only time I felt a little ounce of hope. We began to tune it but it was just news about the emergency situation. "Looks like that's the last channel" I said as I slumped my shoulder. Lena did same " Maybe we'll hear it soon?" "Yes Lena ..but for now.. let's get thi
