My face plummeted to the ground as i tripped over the debris. The ground shook from the rather large beast throwing a part of the road towards us.
All i could remember was hearing a muffled "Wait! we can't just leave her!" from an older man, which was followed by a "She's gone Bill, she can't be saved!". As i lay there bloody and beaten, my thoughts kept thinking back to when the world was normal. When dogs and children played outside without a worry or care, when you had to worry about bills and taxes not when your next meal might be or if you might die tonight. Then everything started going black, i grew dizzy and weak. I don't remember how much time went by, but just as i entered the state of Unconsciousness i heard a voice.
It was faint but somehow i could make out what they were saying "Hey guys wait a minute!, there's a woman here" the voice was deep and had a certain ring to it.
"Is she infected?!" but this time it was a different voice, he inspected me and gave the A-OK sign.
"My, she's awful purdy dont'cha think? But man she is beaten to hell...we should help her" a younger man with a distinct southern accent said.
"Yeah, hurry up and bring her inside the safe house and make it fast" the female voice had said looking behind them. I felt one of them scoop me up into their arms despite my wounds i managed to stay quiet."Ellis, I'm going to find some food, take her upstairs and patch her up will'ya"the woman had said.
"Alright, just be safe Ro' " the southern voice responded sending a shiver down my spine. The last thing i remember is a musky scent that filled my nostrils with comfort and a soft hand prying me from their shirt.
When i awoke it was dark. i looked down to find my chest and abdomen had been bandaged, i felt slightly embarrassed. I looked over to find a bottle of pain pills and a glass of water, with the pain now revived i took the medication. Then a light from the corner appeared, i turned around to find a man standing in the door way.
"You're awake?" It was the southern voice again. "Ah, yes, um where might i be?" i replied. "Well miss, we found you outside almost dead and i saved you and took you into this here safe house... by the way I'm Ellis what is your name?" "It's Zoey"
"Well Zoey, make yourself comfortable your gonna be riding along with us for a while" Ellis said with a huge grin on his face and a strong blush on his face when our eyes met.
