The sound of two running people broke the silence

"Come on!" Yelled a mans voice.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" Went a woman's voice.

A door was kicked open and a girl, no more than 15 years old went through, followed by a man that looked about 30 years old. Behind them came horrible sounds of screams and clicks. The girl closed the door and looked quickly around the room before her eyes landed on an old and hopefully heavy dresser.

"Come help me move this" her voice was stressed as she rushed over to it. The boy stood as frozen in front of the door.

"Eugene!" She yelled.

He didn't move, just stood there while the screams on the other side intensified.

"Eugene!" She ran over to him. "Snap out of it!" Her voice echoed through the room. She grabbed his arm and swirled his face towards her. The face she saw, frozen in horror.

"We're gonna die" his voice was quiet.

"No we're not!" She hurried over to the dresser once more, panic raising. "Now, come and help me move this" he stood there, just looking at her, not able to mutter a single word. "Now!" Her yell scared him out of the trance he was in.

Eugene ran over and helped her move the dresser in front of the door. "Come on, we gotta get going" her voice was small.

They kept running, back out and into the streets of New Orleans before they stopped to take a breath.

"What the fuck happened in there brother!?" She walked right up to his face and pushed him into the wall behind him.

"Faara, please calm down. I froze ok?! W-what was I supposed to do!?" He threw his hands out to his sides.

"You" she poked him hard in the chest, anger and frustration rising in her eyes. "Nearly got us killed! You idiot! I could be at school, but you just had to drag me with you. I was 5 for gods sakes! What were you thinking! We've been out here for 10 fucking years!" She took a few steps back, what have we spent our years on? Running, dodging infected, hunters, bandits and god knows what else! And I'm so tired" Faara looked down at her feet and Eugene could see her tears dripping down at the ground.

"Come here" he said dragging her into a hug, feeling her sob against his shirt. "What do you say we find some shelter for the night huh?"

Faara sniffed before pulling back, "Yeah sure, sounds good."
