Chapter 1
Madison's Pov
I've been running for hours from those things. My legs feel like they will give out any second but I can't stop. I must get away from those things that killed my family. Before my family was tragically killed I lived with my brother, Jack and my father. Jack was the friendliest person you could meet and he has a good heart. My father was a great man but after my mom left he became cold hearted and a strict man but I still love him. He always pressured me to be the best I can be .I was running from those things because a few weeks ago a disease broke out and killed people then brought them back to life with a hunger for human flesh. I call those things walkers. It was a normal day for me out hunting with Jack and my dad.
Memory
Me, Jack and Dad were walking about in the woods looking for squirrels for dinner. We had our hunting equipment me with my knifes, dad with his crossbow and Jack with a smaller crossbow. I was lost in my thoughts. I was thinking a lot about the stories on the news about people eating other people. I strongly thought the stories were fake and so did Jack but I was worried in case it was something serious. Don't be stupid Madison; it's nothing serious I thought to myself. I came out of thoughts when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. I grip my knife firmly and quickly turn around. I was brought back to reality when I heard my brother. "Whoa! Maddie it's just me."Jack said in a panicky voice. Realising I had my knife held at angle at his neck I quickly drop my knife by my side. "Sorry Jack." I said sheepishly. My father turned around to see what was going on."Maddie I know Jack annoys you but please don't kill him." My father said with a smile. My father turned around and continued walking. Then me and jack followed closely behind him trying to keep up with his pace.
I looked to my left and out the corner of my eye I spotted a squirrel climbing up a iturned to the squirrel, aimed my knife and with a flick of my wrist through it at the squirrel. It nailed my squirrel right into the tree .The squirrel went limp and died. The only thing stopping from my squirrel falling was my knife holding the squirrel to the tree. "Well done!" my father said smiling at me .I ran up to the tree, grabbed my knife and my kill. After a few hours I caught three squirrels, Jack caught five and dad caught a rabbit. My father turned to me and Jack and said" You two go back, take your kills and start dinner while I hunt for a little longer?" "Okay father." Jack said. So we started walking home.
When we returned home Jack took our kills and started skinning them while I cleaning our hunting equipment. We had been in the house a few hours alone before our father came home. Jack was the first to notice dad because I was busy cleaning our hunting equipment. "Dad! Are you okay?!"Jack asked dad.I looked up and noticed dad's arm was bleeding. Jack ran over to dad and dragged him to the sink to disinfect the wound. "It's nothing. A hobo just came up and bit my arm." After jack disinfected the wound I wrapped dad's arm winced while I wrapped his arm up.
A while later dad was looking very pale like he saw a ghost. I was watching over him while Jack was handing out dinner. Then suddenly we all heard screams. Jack and I stopped what we were doing and leaped to the window. We looked outside and saw havoc. Evryone outside was running about the place until I saw what they were running from. Slow, pale people covered in blood were trying to eat them. I jumped away from the window knocking down a lamp and a bookshelf. "Maddie! Are you okay?!"Jack asked me with panic in his voice."Yeah" I mumbled under my breath. A minute later those things broke into our house and one attacked me but Jack grabbed my knife and jammed the knife into its head. Some of its blood spilled on me.When I heard dad's voice it brought me back. "Maddie it's not safe here run!" I saw my brother and dad fighting those things. A tear fell from my eye and I ran. .I quickly grabbed my dad's crossbow and shoved a couple of knives into a bag. Then I ran out of the house and left my home town.
End of Memory
That was the last memory I had of my family and now they're dead. A tear escaped from my eye. i am still running from the walkers until I tripped on a stupid rock and fell to the ground. I turned around and started to crawl away from them. Suddenly one of the two walkers fell to the ground with an arrow implanted in its head. The second walker kept coming at me until a man came running at it and stabbed a knife into the walkers head. I looked at the man who just saved me .The man looked like he was in his thirty's and he was slim built with brown hair. He also had a crossbow draped around his shoulder. Before I had a chance to thank him I felt dizzy and blacked out.
