I made my way through the small city with my small group tagging behind even if there was only three of us, I rounded the corner to find some shelter seeing as it looked like it was about to rain. I opened the door quickly and claimed the couch as mine, Hugh and Jack took the bedrooms that were upstairs, I only stayed on the first floor to keep and eye out for common's. I fell backwards onto the couch and quickly got comfortable.

"Leah!" Jack yelled, I rolled my eyes.

"What!?" I yelled back, god what did he want now?

"You want food or not?" He yelled, I heard the word food and shot up off the couch, I bolted up the stairs, I was so hungry I could eat a cow if there were anymore around. I swung into the bedroom on the left of the hall which so happened to be where Jack was, he tossed me a can, I looked at it and cringed for a second it was tomato soup it's not my favorite but I guess we were running low on food. I turned around and left the room heading back downstairs to the couch, it was surprisingly in good shape for it being the apocalypse and all. I sat myself back on the couch and grabbed my back pack, I opened it digging out my mini can opener which I found in New York about two months ago, that was a giant mess to get out of. Giant hordes of infected and low ammo didn't help, I was surprised I was even able to get out of there uninfected but that was because of Jack and Hugh, both of them being immune. I knew I wasn't, both my parents and younger brother had gotten infected when this all began so the chance of me being immune is slim to none which is why Jack and Hugh will lay down their lives for me even though I've begged them time and time again not to yet they still wont tell me why they do. I opened the can with the can opener and pulled off the lid, I placed the can on the table and dug into my bag for my silverware, I pulled out my spoon and inspected it for any blood or dirt, since it sat in the middle of my bag it was completely safe from bacteria. I started eating the jellied soup, I fought back the urge to run outside, make a fire and heat it up so it was actual soup but it was a bad idea because making a fire would be useless since it would just lead infected and bandits right to us. I began eating and pushed away the disgusting texture of the soup, it really wasn't the most pleasant. I finished eating and aimed for the kitchen sink to dispose of my can, but of course I missed, I'm better with a gun then with throwing things. I sighed and got up to throw away my can, I walked up to the demented can and picked it up placing it into the sink, right now I wasn't sure where we were headed. Hugh said something about a place full of survivors but I think it's all a lie but Hugh is pretty much forcing Jack and I to travel all the way cross country to California just to see if there is such a thing. Although we are in New Jersey not to mention we have to walk most of the way plus dealing with infected will make the trip two times as long and I wasn't looking forward to it. I sighed and walked to the couch and sat down, my legs killed me from walking all day, I pulled off my shoes and sweater setting them on the floor beside the couch. I lay down on my back staring at the white ceiling getting lost in thought, what would I do if I happened to get infected? I surely don't have the courage to kill myself and I also don't think the guys would have the heart to murder me, I shook the thought from my head 'It's not gonna happen they promised you they'd get you to Cali, to where your safe.' I reassured myself, I shifted to my right side to face the couch so I couldn't get distracted by things around me. I just thought of the possible future I could have and that slowly made me fall asleep.

"Leah!" A voice yelled, and it immediately woke me up. I sat up and looked around the room in a daze.

"Jack?" I called out softly, trying to rub the sleep from my eyes then two hands grabbed my arms.

"Leah, good your awake, we got commons surrounding the house when need to get out of here." He said, pulling me up off the couch, I nodded and quickly slipped on my shoes, sweater and backpack and headed for the back door where Hugh was waiting, I gripped my M16 as I walked out the back door.

"Jack!" Hugh called to the front of the house, Jack ran to the back door as infected barreled into the house.

"Go, now!" Jack said pushing me down the steps, we were half way out of the yard when the infected poured out of the small doorway, I stopped and crouched down and set aim for the wild infected, Jack and Hugh followed along, there were maybe about twenty or so infected sprinting towards us we were low on ammo so Jack ran forward slicing the zombies with his ax while Hugh and shot down the other infected. I wasted about a whole magazine just trying to take down the infected, Jack came running towards us covered in blood. Now we where on our way to California, I really hoped Hugh was right about this place cause if he wasn't we would have traveled across the country for nothing but stupidly hot weather.

Well this is a new series, I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. Please review. Thanks:D
