They had been here for days. This empty house out in the woods they had happened to find by chance had been their sanctuary for almost a week now. But they were running low on food. For the past three days it was someone who would go without eating. They needed to go on a run but they didn't have enough people, couldn't risk it. Even if they could, where would they even go to get supplies? There weren't any stores for miles, they were sure. This walker-infested forest kept them here, trapped with no way out.
"Well we can't just stay here and become walker bait!" Jed argued.
Larry sighed and rubbed his eyes in frustration."Then what are we supposed to do?" He asked. "If we try and go on a supply run we'll be eaten alive!"
Jed scoffed, "Better to take a chance than sit here and die!" the blonde said, eying the man he was talking to.
"I say we risk it." Octavius cut in all of a sudden, catching the attention of the two fighting men.
"Thank you!" Jed exclaimed, throwing his arms up. This argument was getting them nowhere. The fact remained, they needed food if they were going to stay strong in order to survive. Larry groaned and rubbed his face some more.
"You know what? Fine. We'll go for a run. Get everyone ready." He demanded, completely giving up on stopping them. He supposed that there was the possibility that they didn't all get their bowels ripped out and eaten.
Jed turned away and nudged Octavius to follow him as he maneuvered through the rather small house.
Trapped. They were trapped. Larry, Ahk, Jed, and Octavius were trapped in a store with no way out. On the bright side, they had bagged plenty of supplies. Food, water, and a few pocket knives and hand guns for weapons. However, they were still trapped.
"Damn it!" Jed exclaimed as he banged his fist onto the window. He had tried to find a way out but had only come up with almost getting himself and Ahk bit by a walker trapped in a broom closet.
Octavius sighed and looked up from his sword which he had been cleaning to pass the time. He had been waiting for the man to calm down but it didn't seem as if he would very soon. "Jed, I think it would be best if we were to wait until a few of them left. That way we'll at least have a somewhat clear path and won't have as much trouble." He voiced.
Jed groaned and simply pulled his hat off his head and ran his hand through his hair in frustration. After quite a while of pacing, Jed turned to the black haired man who had returned to cleaning the now gleaming blade of his sword. "How much longer we gotta wait?"
Octavius glanced up at him before returning his gaze to his weapon. It was an iron sword with a strong blade. It was long, large, a two handed weapon and was quite heavy but with the way Octavius slung it around and decapitated walkers so easily you'd think it didn't weigh an ounce. The hilt was decorated with beautiful engravings of wolves and some markings that didn't quite make sense, but were beautiful all the same.
"Probably all night." He finally replied after an air of silence. Jed groaned again. He didn't want to be cooped up in here any longer than he had to.
"Hey, Octogon, them walkers ain't left yet." Jed called to Octavius who was looking out the window. The walkers had dissipated some but not much. They'd have to either wait more or try and risk it.
Octavius rolled his eyes and scoffed. "It's Octavius," He corrected, "And I noticed." Jed ignored the statement and squinted at the window. There were still plenty of walkers outside. "Can't we try and make a break for it?" The blonde asked.
Octavius looked at him with a scowl. "Make a break for it? We would be killed in three seconds." He replied.
"There ain't no reason we can't try!"
Octavius looked away and took a deep breath. "So you would rather become a snack for some blood thirsty animal than wait for the right opportunity to escape with our skins intact?"
Jed opened his mouth to reply once again until a walker, who the arguing men hadn't noticed was beating on the glass, busted through the window. Ahk came running from the backroom as well as Larry and his eyes grew wide when he saw the walker in the building. He grabbed the pistol at his hip and Larry readied his knife as other walker's attention soon landed on the building.
"Shit!" Jed exclaimed as walkers began to mill into the room from the hole in the window.
