I felt the fear running through my body. The image of Tess dying was always on my mind and the sound of the guns shooting at us was just too much for me to handle.
Joel was running in front of me. The sound of guns was scaring him too. We had no guns, no bows…nothing. Our feet would have to be enough to escape .I heard them getting closer and their footsteps were getting louder by the second.
-Grab the little girl! – I heard one of them yelling. – Shoot the man! – At that moment I knew that both of us were in danger and that we needed to run as fast as we can.
I could already see the big concrete walls that protected the city where Tom and Maria were living. The moment I saw them was the happiest moment of my life until now. I knew I would be safe and that everything after this would be good. I could already see Tom at the top of the walls, shotgun in his hands, pointing at the guys running after us.
Suddenly I felt something in my leg and I felt my pants getting warmer and wet. Ignoring it, I kept running but failed. The pain started to attack me and I fell to the ground yelling and crying in pain. Is this it? Am I finally going to see Tess and Riley? I couldn't stay by their side as they died, but I can see them again. Blood was violently pouring and I could feel myself getting dizzy.
I heard shots and people yelling. I saw arrows flying above me and heard Maria yelling to Joel.
-Grab her! – She yelled.
-Come here baby girl. – I heard Joel running towards me and his arms quickly pulled me up and pushed me against his chest. – We're almost there. It's just a bullet. You…We can make it.
