I've got a question for you guys. So for every chapter, I'd like to know two things:
1.) Would you prefer a lot of writing, and not the much story kinda? basically dragging it out is the way i see it. or prefer it so its slightly shorter but there's more stuff.
2.) Would you want choices put into the story? So like, in future if someones about to die you can either save them or let them die? I'd do a voting system in the reviews but just let me know what you think.
But yeah this chapters gonna be shorter but have more stuff. so you guys can just tell me if you prefer chapter 1 or chapter 2.
Anyway, enjoy chapter 2 :)

"Go! NOW!" Christa screamed while she was being held down by one of the bandits, the ringing gunshot causing the horses to move frantically. (D/N) had sunk his/her teeth deep into the forearm of the speared man, gripping hard onto the ripping flesh and growling while he yelled in pain and tried to shake him off. (Y/N) smashed the butt of her gun into the face of the remaining male, urging Clementine to run to the spooked horse in front of them.
Said girl quickly grabbed her purple floral backpack and gripped hard onto the reins of the horse, gently easing it down and leading it quickly away from the scene.
(Y/N) was grunting while the male who now had a nasty cut on his right cheekbone tried to swing his fireaxe at the woman, slightly uncoordinated from the sting of the blow. The man recieved an extremely lucky success.
Whilst trying to dodge, the axe had ripped a large section of (Y/N)'s pants, on the lower section of the left thigh. Luckily, only a small cut was the outcome.
One swing of the rifle landed successfully, the butt of the gun smashing against the mans temple. He dropped to the floor in a daze, giving her chance to escape.
She ran towards Clementine, seeing her struggle to get onto the horse, and lifted the girls feet over the side of the horse, seating her close to the horses neck.
"Quick!" Christa shouted, now being surrounded by the 3 men and being dragged away.
1 of them saw the girls getting onto the horse, and quickly mounted his own darkly coloured brown one, violently kickinh his feet back forcing the beast into a sprint.
Clementines eyes widened at this.
She wanted to help Christa but also knew she and (Y/N) had to leave now. Se stared down at the (H/C) female below, clearly having a debate of her own.
"GET HER AWAY FROM HERE, (Y/N)!"
That was all it took for her to quickly place her feet in the stirrups, seated behind clementing and gripping the reins. She covered the girls body with her own protectively, and kicked her feet back to guide the horse forward just as the bandit was about to grab her arm.
Looking back, she saw Christa being lowered to the ground, making final eye contact before pursuing her goal. Getting Clementine out of there.
Sharp twigs knicked at her skin while she raced down the dark forest, the warmth of the fire replaced by a cold and wet chill. The beating of hooves behind her bellowed in her ears.
The sound of a gunshot and the whiz of wind past her ear caused both girls to gasp, and (Y/N) tucked closer to Clementines body.
(D/N) was quickly running in front of them, almost like they were guiding them to safety. Every now and then he/she would fall back to the beast behind them and attempt to bite the horses legs, trying to slow it down.
The sound of another gun shot, a splatter of blood and a yell in pain sounded.
(Y/N)'s right shoulder was now a deep burgandy, blood had splattered on her face and Clementines cap. She grunted as she felt the bullet grind into her muscle after every jolt of the horse running, stuck next to the top of the shoulder blade.
"(Y/N), are you alright?" Clementine asked quickly after hearing her yell.
"I'll be fine once we get this guy off our tail" she answered quickly. (E/C) eyes searched for a way out.
Time seemed to slow, the thumping of hooves and frantic beating of her heart ringed in her ears, rain whipping against her skin and the barks and growls of (D/N) echoing throught the forest. Looking to the outskirts of the trees, she found something which could help her.
A raging river, with waves crashing against the sharp rocks, surely dragging anything that tried to pass.
But there was no other choice.
"Hold on" she whispered to Clementine, who nodded whilst gripping tighter to the horses brown mane.
(Y/N) whistled loudly, catching the attention of (D/N), who patiently waited for his command while running at their side. "Go" and with that command and a point of a finger, (D/N) started to lead the horse to the edge of the trees close to the raging body of water.
(D/N) jumped from rock to rock across the water, whilst (Y/N) kicked her heels back forcing the whining horse into the freezing water.
The waves came with such a force they fought to stay on, the water reaching their waists as they tried desperately to reach the other side as the onslaught of rain continued to pelt down.
Looking behind, (Y/N) saw the follower was struggling to force the horse into the water, ultimately ending with him being unable to follow anymore. With an annoyed grunt he aimed his gun more and shot 3 more times.
Two whizzed past as they struggled to get onto the bank, and the final one grazed against (Y/N)'s left arm. A hiss escaped her mouth and with one final push they had made it to the bank, with a crack of the reins and bark from the dog, the horse continued to run whilr the bandit watched angrily.
*Time Skip*
They had been on the run for hours. Sure they had lost the bandits but the sheer amount of walkers roaming the area was too great. The two girls would only stop for a few minutes before having to continue.
The danger was becoming worse however. (Y/N) still had a bullet lodged in her shoulder, and with no efficient medical supplies or a safe place to get it out and treat it, she has been slowly bleeding, despite having used the ripped section of pants to stop it.
Her vision was now starting to become foggy, and the throbbing sensation of the bullet jostling in her skin was becoming agonising.
Clementine had been threating for quite a while, saying they needed to stop so she could rest. Stubbornly though, she would refuse saying it was unsafe. Even (D/N) could sense something was wrong.
They had reached an old boulder now, which appaered to be clear for the moment. They hadn't seen a walker in the search for safety for the past 5 minutes so it should be safe.
"(Y/N), d'you think you can get down and sit on the floor?" Clementine asked concerned, twisting her body to see the hazy eyes and sweaty face of the (H/C) woman.
Said woman nodded quietly, flinching as she moved her leg over the horse and landed on the ground unsteadily. Clementine followed swiftly, finding it much easier to get off than to get on.
She quickly grabbed the womans uninjured shoulder, seeing the wobble in her legs and gently lowering her to the ground.
(Y/N) breathed heavily, trying to keep herself from blacking out.
Clementine quickly removed the camo jacket from her and placed it gently on the gunshot wound, earning a hiss from the woman.
The young girl quickly realised she had no idea how to get the bullet out, they had nothing which was safe enough. The only thing she could think of was grabbing a stuck and digging it out but then it could become infected and would be extremely painful.
"I-I don't know what to do" Clementines voice shook as she said this.
There was silence.
(D/N) walked forward cautiously whining, lightly licking (Y/N)'s right cheek supportingly.
But then echoing through the silence was a growl...
Clem's eyes dilated, whipping her head she saw a group of walkers heading their way. Quickly grabbing (Y/N)'s arm, she tried desperately to pull her up.
"Come on we've gotta go!" She shouted desperately.
(Y/N)'s (E/C) eyes stared in Clems hazel ones and she breathed heavily, saying one word before the dark clouded over her vision and she let the pain take over.
"Run..."
