-SIX MONTHS AFTER THE APOCAYLAPSE-
Chris, Harris and Leila made their way towards the usual hunting ground, which was stripped of life since the apocalypse began 'about a year ago'. The hunting ground consisted of a river, which sometimes (although rarely) had fish swimming about in. It was also home to tall, lifeless trees, and the trio could tell it was autumn, because of the green leaves gone orange. That's if you'd have found some. Most of the trees had gone bare, and the only nice nature look was the blue, cloudy sky. Leila looked up at the sky and sighed sadly.
"If only." She said. She has said those words often, and Chris and Harris and the rest of the group where getting irritated at it.
"Shut up." Said Chris,"You'll scare away the game." He lied.
Leila frowned. She looked about the dead forest. "Game? You're joking, right?"
"Quit it, Leila." Harris snapped.
Soon enough, the three survivors reached the river unharmed. Harris took out his fishing rod; so did Chris.
Leila climbed the trees to keep a watch. "I can't see nothin'" She said.
"Excellent. That should buy us some time." Harris chuckled.
Two minutes later, Harris caught himself his first fish of the day. Then Harris caught another, then another. Chris didn't catch any.
'Sorry, Harris. I tried my best." Chris mumbled.
"Don't worry. There's always-"
"AHHH!" A male voice screamed in the distance.
"What the heck?" Chris cursed.
"We need to help them!" Leila pleaded.
"We can't! We need to go!" Harris barked.
"But Harris...!" Leila tried.
"Let's go!" Harris commanded. They ran as fast as they could, and soon the scream got quieter. Then, it had disappeared completely.
'Thank God we got away. What do you think it was? Save-Lot Bandits? Those damn St. John brothers?" Chris said.
"I don't know. But at least we got away. That forest is probably teeming with walkers now." Harris said, relieved and out of breath. Leila shook her head.
"We should have helped them. What we did.. running away... that was wrong!" she cried.
"Leila, we have to fend for ourselves! You know that!" Chris replied.
"I know but..." Leila began. She sighed. 'Are we nearly back to camp?"
"Yes. Now keep quiet. Noise attracts walkers."
