'Just- just keep it up. There will be something soon' Thought the young boy as he stumbled along the rubble, his fingers tightened around the gun he'd found in his garage. Though on the verge of collapsing, he kept running it was either run or fight,and he wasn't ready to fight. Not yet. Loud guttural moans and groans only increased as the blond sprinted through the city. Houses and buildings began slowly re-appearing all around him. He'd reached a safer area! A safer area that is more likely to have better weapons and more supplies.

Out of the corner of his eye the boy spotted something, a faint yellow glow coming from one of the boarded up houses. Hope! Quickly yet sneakily he approached the door and began furiously knocking. "Is anyone there? Let me in! Please?!" He pleaded furiously, however not loud enough to attract any unwanted attention from the brain-dead beasts walking the streets. Beads of sweat had already stuck his fair hair to his forehead and now a few has rolled down his face. His fists were beginning to hurt he'd been pounding on the door so long. A Young boy's voice could only just be heard from behind the door, almost instantly the other stopped banging to hear what he had to say. "You're not bitten are you?" The voice asked seriously. The fair haired boy was quick to respond "No, just a few bruises from falling over but no bites!" He managed to get out between breaths. There was a pause on the other side of the door.
"Climb up the tree and just tap on the window three times, I'll let you in." That was the last thing the blond boy heard before a pattering of feet. As soon as he heard the feet he readjusted his tatty backpack, stuck his gun in his sock and headed to the tree. It was a large old oak with not many branches, but just enough for the blond to make it up.

Once at the top of the tree he paused. "Now where's the window…" he murmured quietly to himself. As he was climbing the tree he wasn't paying much heed to his surroundings so the window almost vanished from his mind. The window itself was large, a bit cracked in places and painted black. Carefully he scooted along a thick branch and using his gun as extra arm length he tapped on the window, three times as previously specified. A crack and a clunking noise were heard and the window swung open to reveal a short, slightly plump brunette boy holding a large cricket bat. "Sure you ain't got any bites?" He asked again only to receive a nod of the head as a reply. The brunette kept up his side of the bargain and held his hand out to help the other in. Leaping slightly the blonde boy managed to get inside to safety.

Immediately after the other was inside the house the plump one quickly shut the window locking it tight and putting the key back inside the pocket of his jeans, he then spoke up "S'pose we should introduce ourselves."
The fair haired boy nodded, "I'm Ralph, 14, I have a gun and a backpack." He said putting his gun and backpack down as he sat on the floor. The other decided to also sit on the floor.
"I'm also 14!" He smiled at the coincidence "Anyway I'm Daniel, though everyone at school used to call me Piggy…" At that Ralph couldn't help but laugh "Oh Piggy!" He laughed "That's classic!" While Ralph seemed to be having the time of his life, Piggy on the other hand wasn't amused in the slightest. Taking off his glasses and cleaning them on his shirt he waited for Ralph to calm down. Eventually he did, wiping a tear from his eye Ralph apologised. "Sorry, I just…" He sighed. "Sorry."

The old house creaked in the wind and light beamed through the cracks in the windows as the sun began to set. The two boys sat as the flood of silence began to drown them, in attempt to break the silence Ralph spoke up "I saw a light when I was outside, do you have a torch or something?" He asked. Piggy nodded "Yeah, It's this solar lamp my auntie bought." The brunette explained.
"Your auntie? I hope you don't mind me asking but where is she?" Asked Ralph cautiously, fearing the worst. Piggy looked at him, "She went out three days ago and hasn't come back, so take your guess at what's happened."

This is only really been a bit of a trial, I know I'm not the best writer in the world but I try my best. Future chapters (if there are any) will hopefully be longer! Reviews are greatly appreciated as they will help me improve. Also depending on the reviews will depend on whether I continue this or not. Anyways hope you have enjoyed it and stay tuned if I plan to add more!

edit: Looking back on this, this chapter is extremely short... i may add to this chapter later but right now it is probably best just to get it out there
