Faith, Hope, and Love

by bricheez19

Bella Kern lost hope. She thought that she was trapped for ever until the day she escaped. She ran into a group and from her past, she rather be with the dead then the living. Due to her condition, they brought her back to her camp and helped her back on to her feet. Bella never thought that she can trust the living again. And she never thought that she would some how fall in love.

1. Chapter 1

I don't not own anything except my main character. I wish i did, but i don't. :( Please comment and tell me how you like it. It means a lot to me. Thank you and enjoy!

Chapter One

The sound of twigs snapping underneath my feet and the leaves from the enormous trees whistling by is the only thing that makes me believe that I can do this. That I can get escape before they catch me again. That I can finally survive without them. Freedom I will get when I escape. Dizziness was the only factor that wasn't helping me. Every step I take, I feel like I will crumble underneath and just collapse. My breathing becomes into panting and my huge men shirt is sticking to my dirty body due to the sweat. But that doesn't stop me. Keep going Bella, I think to myself. The dizziness kicks in again and I have to slow down my pace to actually see anything due to the blurriness of my eyes. I haven't eaten in days and I barely can get water in me. I stop and put my hand on the nearest tree to support myself. If I keep running I can overdue it and then they will find me. I can't let them find us.

With that thought it looked down and saw the tiniest bump forming on my stomach. It's hard to see it at all due to this over size t-shirt, but you can tell that this bump is not due to fatness. It's because I am carrying a living being inside of me. A small baby. I never thought in my entire life that I would have a child. And most especially now, at the age of 19. Before the world turned into shit, I had my life planned out for me. I would travel a bit, and then go to college. Then I would go the medical school and study medicine, because I always wanted to be an ER doctor. I wasn't the girl who was squeamish about anything that deals with blood. I thought it was fascinating how this organ and could do this and that organ can do that. I studied a lot of medicine in high school so I can prepare for college and med school. I never really had time to settle down and have children in the future. So I just expected that I would never have any. Now here I am, alone and pregnant.

Shouting in the distance, calling my name, made my body feel like I have been dumped with water. Goosebumps rose up and down my arms and my body began to shake. My breathing began to quicken. I can't let them find me. Not now. I'm almost away. I began to run again. Pushing myself to the limit. I didn't know where the voices where coming from but it sounded like they were getting closer. In the distance I can pick out a small buildings. Then couple more began to appear when I came closer. A town. A town where I can hide. Where I can escape. With this new hope, I picked up my pace and stumbled among the forest to get to the small buildings that grew closer and closer every time I took a step.

My feet hurt every time I took a step and they were bleeding underneath but I rather take pain then go back with them. It wasn't going to happen. They would make me feel worse. I ran out of the forest and fled down the street that led straight to the town that I now can see clearly. The closest building was something like a bar. There were only a few cars on the street, but that didn't stop me from running to the door and crashing in. I shut the door and let out a sigh of relief that everything was going be okay. I bent over, placing my hands on my knees and tried to slow down my breathing. I can't pass out right now. I was never the runner; I never played sports in school. it just wasn't my style. I would always sit on the sidelines and support our school rather then participate. I closed my eyes and tried to get this situation under control. They can find me now. I am so close of freedom. I never imagined myself running from both dead and the living. And you think running from the dead is bad. The living are cruel and evil and they don't have any humane in them since all this shit happened.

A clicking sound made me come out of my thoughts and all the time I tried to control my breathing was gone, because when I looked up there where three men were staring down at me and one gun pointing down at me. My heart quickens and the only thing I thought about was I was right. The living is worse than the dead.

I know its short, but i had to some what introduce the main character and how scared she is. Next Chapter coming soon.
