"Damn walkers" the boy whispered to himself as he kicked one of said creatures in the head and it tumbled back down the ladder it had been climbing after him, he then proceeded to kick the ladder down after the walker and hit the floor with a loud clang that was sure to bring more walkers his way but he didn't care, he was safe here.
Setting his hatchet down on a nearby beer keg the boy stood up and walked toward the edge of the pub he was standing on top of and looked out at the road that ran through the city hoping something interesting would happen, but as always nothing did. He reached down to pick up a piece of broken mirror off a crate and looked at himself in it, his matted brown hair was dangling in front of his face and his emerald green eyes were half shut and unforgiving, the shadows under his eyes showed the lack of sleep he had been getting lately his small nose was a little crooked from where he had broken it a while back his cheeks were dirty and mud almost fully covered them his mouth twisted into a small smile at the sight of him being so dirty.
He stopped 'admiring' himself in the mirror when he saw a camper van turn a corner and drive onto the road, one of the windows was open and he could see the passenger but the passenger could also see him, panic surged through his body as the camper van stopped and the passenger got out as did the driver and three other people and they all were walking toward him.
"bollocks" he said to himself why was he so stupid, standing on the roof for the world to see. Idiot. They were getting close but they had left the camper alone so he hatched a plan. He could hear voices and the sound of walkers having their heads bashed in but something made him freeze on the spot the sound of a ladder being moved and put up against the wall he could hear them climbing up the ladder, so he put his plan into action. The boy picked up his hatchet and backpack then jumped from the pub and sprinted toward the van.
He reached it in no time he then proceeded to open the door on the passenger side and started searching through the door pocket and the compartment under the air bag, as he opened it he heard a voice yell "LEE!" he turned to see a girl standing there looking toward the pub he had just come from, but he recognised her.
"Clemen-" he didn't get to finish the girls name as bullet pinged the van next to him catching him by surprise he looked toward the pub to see the man who had been the passenger aiming a gun at him, "shit" the boy said as he turned and ran the down the road where the van would have been driving toward he turned in time to see the passenger and driver following him but he kept on running making as many turns as possible until he ran into a alleyway and into...a dead end! "bollocks" he whispered and he started looking for a way out and there it was a fire escape!
It was one of the metal ones that went up the wall, he was about to run up the wall when "We've got you now mother fucker!" a voice behind him said he turned to see the passenger and the driver. The passenger was a black man in a blue jacket and tan trousers while the driver looked like...a genuine redneck. The boy noted that both men were carrying hand guns but he didn't put his hands up he just kept one hand firmly on his hatchet and the other behind his back on his gun. The redneck noted this too and he said "Lee let's just kill this prick and get back to the van"
to which the black man (who he guessed was Lee) replied "No Kenny we need to know what he knows" but the boy didn't care any more for he was looking straight passed the two men and at the Ten walkers that had just walked into the alley behind them.
The boy simply said "It won't matter in a minute anyway" and the two men stopped their argument and turned to look at the boy
the redneck or Kenny replied "oh, and why's that?!" but instead of replying the boy just simply nodded toward the walkers. The two men turned their heads slowly toward the walkers then the rest of their bodies caught up, they started arguing with each other, and about what the boy didn't care he was escaping. He ran up the wall and grabbed the fire escape then pulled himself up. He was about to leave but something made him turn back maybe it was the fact that he couldn't let them be killed or maybe it was that he couldn't leave that girl without a carer but whatever it was didn't matter.
He turned around and kicked the ladder of the fire escape down and it landed in front of the two men who looked up obviously surprised the boy just simply said "Climb" they both nodded and Kenny came first and then Lee, as he got up Lee was about to lift the ladder when a walker grabbed it which prevented him from pulling it up, he took out his gun and aimed it at the walker but the boy grabbed his arm and whispered "No!, that'll bring more"
Lee whispered back angrily "what do we do then?!"
the boy thought for a moment then said "I have an idea, you and the redneck-"
"HEY!" Kenny protested angrily the boy just continued
"you and Kenny" he put emphasise on his name "jump over the bars onto the street and follow the road that way" he pointed in a direction "that will lead you back to your van, i'll distract the walkers, okay?"
Kenny asked "why should we trust you?"
the boy replied angrily "If you have a better idea i'm all ears? no? then shut the fuck up! Jump over the bars once the distraction has started",
"how will we-" Lee tried to say before the boy cut him off with
"You'll know".
The boy walked back a few steps before turning to face the bars of the fire escape that led into the alley, 'this is a bad idea' he thought before running forward and planting a foot on the bar and launching himself into the alley behind the walkers, as he hit the floor a pain shot up his leg and he was forced to roll before getting up, he must of twisted his ankle or something, he limped toward the closest walker and embedded his hatchet into it's head before it dropped to the floor he then whistled to get the attention of the other walkers. They all turned in unison toward the boy, before they all started shuffling toward him he looked up and nodded to Lee.
The last thing Lee saw before he jumped over the bar was the person he'd thought to be a bandit lodge his hatchet into the head of the third walker before he bent down to pick up a pipe, unable to watch the 'bandit' anymore Lee jumped over the bar to join Kenny before they ran back to the Camper Van in the direction the 'bandit' had pointed wondering if he would see him again - Unlikely.
