A/N Hi, My story is about two teenagers surviving in a world that has become overrun with Zombies. This is my first chapter of a story so any advice is appreciated :) thank you xx
BANG!
'Out of all you could have used a gun was your only option?' I say grabbing my sword.
Seconds later we found ourselves running, my eyes streaming with the sharp air hitting my face. Our hands locked, inseparable. Where we were going we had no clue all we knew was we had to keep going, ending up like the millions of others was a no-no.
However as we ran deeper into the dark forest each step required more effort than the other, my pace rapidly slowing. 'c'mon…we have..to keep going' Peter insists tugging at the sleeve of my jacket.
'I can't…need rest' I say breathlessly, slumping down against the tree
'Anne please, get up we're not safe here they're going catch up' grabbing hold of my arms pulling me up. I drag myself forwards 'I must keep going I must keep going' I repeat in my head.
After what feels like ages I give up, I can move no longer. Looking through the gaps of the towering trees the sun is setting and the sky has turned a beautiful orange and pink. It's going to get dark soon; we need to find a place to stay and the forest floor is not a safe place at night!
'C'mon Anne can we go?' Peter asks he looks scared now.
'Ok' pulling myself up we set off. 'Hey Peter do you hear that?' he pauses for a moment and looks around 'Hear what?' he says looking confused.
'Exactly' the groaning in the distance had stopped along with the horrible stench of corpses. They're finally gone, well for now at least.
'Even if they're not here now they will come back and we can't be here when they do!'
We carry on walking cautious not to make any noise until we finally reach the river. Grabbing my sword I spear some fish while Peter picks some berries in the bushes ahead.
After putting them in our backpacks we set off again in hope of finding a safe place for tonight as it's starting to get dark now. Walking along the meadow I can see just up ahead what looks like a farm.
'Hey do you think that is safe?' I ask to Peter looking at the flowers alongside him. 'Um yeah looks abandoned let's check it out!'
With the little energy we have left we sprint towards it, with being outside for nearly a week we've finally found a place to stay!
