A few hours after I left Rachel behind, Cody and I heared a loud explodion. And I mean a really really loud one. Dunno how far it was, but it must be a big building if it were such a loud explodion. Guess all walkers in the arena are now walking in this direction. But we not.

I was ripped out of my thoughts, when the car came to stop. "What the..." The car got runned out of fuel. "SHIT!" I yelled and balled my hands into fists.

"What is it Ella?" Cody asked as he rubbed his eyes. Guess he was sleeping without my knowledge.

"Car runned out of gas" I said while looking outside "and we are in the nowhere" In fact, we were at the road. We were surounded by stopped cars. Looks like a big accident corse it. Right next to the road was a forest.

I sighed "Co, take your bag and the tent. I will get the food, water and weapons." I told him while going out of the car. He followed me. As I opened the luggage, Cody was right next to me with his little bag on his back.

Out of the luggage, I give him the orange tent I found on one of our runs into a abnomanded house. While I took the bad with food and water, Cody taped my arm. I turned to him "What?"

He point right behind me. A walker. "Shit" I hissed. I got out the crossbar which I keeped from Cody's school and rammed the groaned walker into its head. Great, again blood on my clothers. Thats the ten's time.

Haven't keep track on time, but we were walking in the forest since about 30 minutes I guess. And I couldn't stand Cody's question with "How long?" "Can we stop now?" "I'm thirsty" Urrgh!

"Okay!" I yelled and stoped in my tracks while Cody bumbed into my back. "How about" I turned around and knelled down to his height "we open our tent here and in about...four days we go more. Sounds good?"

Cody nod. "Good, gimme the tent. Want to build it up before it will become to dark." Well, it was around noon, but it better sooner then later.

After I finished the tent and Cody was inside playing with some car toys, I checked what we still had revolver, 10 rounds, crowbar, few caned food, four bottles of water. Not even clothers to change. I sighed while raned my fingers through my hair.

Great, just great. "Ella?" The voice was my brothers'. "Yeah?" I ansered back. "Can I go to sleep now?" With a yawn in his sentence. I looked up into the sky. Soon it was getting dark, and Cody can't even hold open his eyes at the darkness. "Sure. I will take first watch. I will wake you up when yours is." Of course I will not wake him up. He needs his sleep. I do too but not so much like him.

Three days it's been now and I almost got no sleep. The water was going down to two bottles, as well as the food. At least the amo was still like in the begin. I feel like I'm going to pass out. Cody was drinking one of our last bottles as a gunshot was heared. I jumped, as well as Cody. He let the bottle drop and let the water going out.

"Shit Cody! Pick it up! Pick it up!" I yelled at him. As he finally did, the bottle was empy. I sighed and threwed the bottle away. "Damnit!" I yelled even louder and sighed at the end when I saw that my brother was on the edge of tears. "Sorry Co, it's just...it was our last bottle of water and ... and... the gunshou...t..." I sturred and feld the word spinning. No it was just me.

"Ella?Ella!What's wrong?!" I heared Cody asked worried. I feld that I was lying on the hard cold ground now, being shaking the shoulder. That was the last I feld before I slipped into the dark.

A/N: I'm so so sorry that it's so short! I didn't had any other ideas for this chapter. But in the next chapter, Ella and Cody are going to meet someone. Can you guess who?
