Chapter 01 – That Hunter
I wake up with a loud sharp gasp, and I sit up suddenly. A hunter, apparently not expecting any noise, suddenly screeched, and span round, still holding his squatting persition. He made a series of sharp growls, and slowly crept towards me. I stumbled away on my back until I hit my head on a cupboard, with a small thud and a puff of dust. A hunter again! Crap! He grinned and sniggered. Wait, he just laughed at me. That hunter just laughed at me! Pistol. Blur. Fading. My blurriness was fading, I wasn't infected! I reached for my pistol, ready to dispatch this laughable hunter. He grinned and sniggered again. That little bugger… Wait… "Oh, oh really?!" I shouted out loud. The hunter grinned all the more, a raspy laugh coming down his throat. He was sitting on my pistol. "Your smart, I'll give you that…" I mumbled.
He stood up on straight on his two legs and started walking towards me, which turned to a jog, a sprint and then he jumped on me, shook me, then bit my shoulder tearing off a chunk of meat from my arm. I yelled out in pain, as I stared in horror at the piece of meat hanging in his mouth. He gulped it down, slurping, with saliva drooling from his razor sharp teeth filled maw. I could feel blood pouring from my wound, I tightly held it with my hand, trying to stop the loss. The hunter was now cackling, in a strange, weird, groaning like way. Infected. Sometimes I hated infected. In fact, most of the time I hated infected, and I think other humans or survivors did too. Survivors. I was a survivor. That sounded really awesome. I was a survivor. But before I was going to survive, I needed to get away from this hunter who appeared to still be laughing his head off.
I dived towards my pistol, he glanced round, and suddenly he stopped laughing as I picked it up and got to my feet, one hand on my wound, and the other holding my pistol, aiming directly at his hooded face. He hissed at me and returned to his squatting position. He hissed, bared his teeth and circled around me, as I tightened my grip on the pistol, my sweaty hand making it harder to get a steady grip. He leaped straight out of the window and hissed loudly at me once more, before climbing up the gutter pipe of the building we were in. I sighed a sigh of relief, relaxed my arms, but made sure my hand remained on my horrific wound. I stumbled down some creaky wooden stairs, that moaned with every step I took.
Out of the cobweb filled house I walked, listening out for the slightest movement, common infected or worse - the return of that god damn hunter. I noticed it was a giant ruined city I had woken up in the middle of, and I wasn't liking the look of, small flickering fires, cracked roads and the occasional common infected corpse. As I cautiously continued down the road, I was starting to pick up some of the surroundings I was walking past. For example, there was a giant office block which had the top half completely crumpled, sideways, on the ground propped up against another building which appeared to have once been a bungalow. More buildings like a café, more bungalows and even a bank became clear to me as I walked. But one building made me stop. A gigantic, two-story supermarket, still looking in good condition, with lighting inside, and crude but efficient boards nailed up to the window frames. It looked like there was civilisation, survivors or supplies in there! Thank god! There was hope! I froze. I heard the crackle of someone or something stand on some leaf litter sprawled on the pavement. A stick snapped. I slowly turned. Nothing. Another leaf crunched in a different direction. Oh crap.
I raised up my pistol, beads of sweat forming on my forehead. I turned, with my pistol, looking for the source of this noise. This noise. I needed to get inside from whatever was stalking me. I crouched slightly, then used up all my energy into this burst of speed, this sprint. That's when it charged. That's when that charger ran at me, yelling it's retarded yell into the air. I could feel adrenaline build up in my body, I was scared, panicked and shocked all at once. I heard a colossal thud, and a turned my head to see that the charger had missed and slammed straight into the supermarket's wall. It stumbled back a few steps, reeling from the collision, revealing a slight crack in concrete it had slammed into.
I jumped through the doorway, the still-intact automatic door opening as it detected my movement. "Dammit, these guys aren't smart, they charge until they die!" I said to myself, pointing my pistol at the dizzy charger. I let off two eight bullet clips into the charger's arm and body, but it recovered from the impact of the previous charge, and was preparing to charge at me, and the supermarket doors! I reloaded, fumbling for a clip in my pocket. I slipped it in, cocked my pistol, and once more pulled the trigger as fast as I could. The charger fell to its knees, staring at me with wide eyes, or at least were his small slits for eyes were. He then fell over, lying on the floor, with splats of blood dotted on the supermarket's car park. My wound stung my arm, the recoil of my pistol shooting must have made it worse. I turned around to see shelves of supplies lined everywhere. I looked with amazement, as my love for Maryland biscuits, sweets, bacon and other foods came back to me. My wound stopped hurting as I dropped my pistol. I had survived a hunter and a charger. I had survived. I had supplies and a decent weapon. I was a survivor.
Yeah, future chapters will be longer, don't worry! Ok, none of you ARE worrying, but you get the idea. Please review the story, I love to know what I did well, and what I did badly... And you might get your name in future chapters too! Also, I have got a youtube channel too, so check that out too! Thanks guys!
