The Lurking Dead

Chapter 1: 17 Months With No Accident

~Flashback~

2 Years Ago

Jace was ready so see his test results. His teacher brought his test sheet up on put it on his desk.

Yes an A plus! he thought. he turned behind to see Bryce's results.

'What did you get' Bryce asked him.

'an A plus and you?'

'I got a A plus too'

They both high-five each other.

'We are totally instinct' Bryce said.

After School

Bryce was being bashed up by the Krugman Family boys.

'Cut to the crap tell us how you got the results'

Jace hid behind a wall and cover his nose to sound like his principle. 'BOYS I HEARD THERE WAS A FIGHTING!' Jace imitated.

'Boys Run' The older Krugman said. They all ran off. Jace runs up to Bryce to assist him.

'Are you okay?' he asked.

'Yeah I'm fine'

But suddenly behind the fence, someone was eating one another.

'What the?' Jace said.

~End of Flashback~

Into the dawn of night, our weapons were loaded, our bags were packed with the monthly supplies that we needed. I always wondered, why do we have to go on supply runs, were the youngest men in our group and the girls don't have to go.

To heck with that, my name is Jace.

'We should start a fire' Bryce said.

Oh yeah that's my companion Bryce. We've been best mates for so long and to be honest when his mad he is a real badass.

'Yeah I'm freezing cold' I agreed.

I put my bag down on the ground and Bryce was going to set the fire.

'We can't stay here for long' I told Bryce.

'I know I know, just a little rest'

I put my hood on, I guess the fire isn't that fast to cool you.

Bryce was constantly kicking the dirt to make the fire more finer.

'Need help' I asked him.

'Nah it's okay, I'll just get more wood'

Henry walked into a path of the woods.

My walkie-talkie starting calling in.

'Jace, Bryce you guys alright' Francis asked.

'Oh yeah, hi Francis' I answered back.

'Sweet I will call you back soon'

I put my walkie-talkie back in my backpack and went close to the fire.

I was shivering. Our group was thinking of going to Wellington. Josh our leader, and Ross; a friend of mine, both planned it.

If the cold if going to keep the walkers away why aren't they worrying about our warmth.

'Shut up maybe I should have the food first' a mysterious voice said.

I got scared. I walked up to the path were Bryce went through.

I saw Bryce talking with two scavengers. I had to figure out a way to distract them.

One of the scavengers grabbed Bryce.

'Let go of me you filthy bugger' he struggled.

'Than stop struggling you poker face' the scavenger.

'Winston we have to find out where his stuff is then we kill him' Scavenger # 2 said.

'Cut to the crap' Winston said.

I looked at a rock on the floor and I picked it up. I was aiming at Winston so that Bryce can break free. I threw it at him eventually.

'Bryce come on' I yelled.

Bryce dashed to me. We ran back to our rest spot and grabbed our stuff. We kept running.

'I'm going to kill you kids' Winston said.

Suddenly we saw Francis running towards us.

'Look over there its Francis' Bryce pointed towards us.

'What is he doing' I said.

Bryce trips and Winston dashes to him and the scavenger behind him gets his gun out.

Two zombies approach Francis.

'Oh really' he mumbled.

He shot the first one with his pistol but the other grabbed him.

'Help' he yelped.

'Come help your friend mate' Scavenger # 2 said about Bryce

Chapter 1: 17 Months With No Accident Part 2

I dashed to Francis who desperately needed help. I pushed the zombie off her and smash its head with my feet.

'Thanks, now let's go help Bryce' Francis said.

We dashed to Bryce and the scavengers.

'Come help your friend mate' Winston said.

We dashed to the scavengers but one of them lifted their gun up.

'Not one more step' Scavenger # 2 said.

Francis and I noticed a zombie coming behind them.

'What are you going to do kids' Winston said.

The walker got closer and closer and the finally.

'You can't do nothing, just give us your stuff' scavenger # 2 said.

The walker bit scavenger # 2.

'Oh crap no' He said.

Bryce nudged Winston and ran towards us.

'Just run' I yelled.

We were huffing and puffing and finally we made it.

'Josh were back, open the gates' Bryce yelled.

Josh came running down from the RV he was on top of it for looking in the distances.

'Alright come in' he pulled the gate open.

'What were you thinking Francis' Bryce bellowed.

'It's not my fault you guys took long' he answered back.

'I almost got killed' Bryce complained.

'Look guys it's okay now, were safe' I said

'Yeah for now' Francis mumbled.

'Where is Ross' Francis asked Josh.

'Inside, guys you should come inside too'

'Do you think Wellington is really a good idea' I said.

'It's our only hope Jace and you're going deal with it even if you gets cold' Joshsaid.

'Whatever I hope this is a good idea' Bryce said.

Josh went to walk back inside.

'Its the best idea' he muttered.
