CHAPTER 4

THE FIRST ATTACK

After what seemed like an hour of walking we heard a noise.

Just a small one that caught our attention.

We turned instantly towards it and we could barely dodge the bullets that were fired at us.

'Hold your fire, we are humans' I shouted.

The shooting stopped.

'I am so sorry, I thought you were those things walking around here'

It was a girl, I guess she's about 17 years old and she has long brown hair.

'Its okay, what's your name?' Jill asked her.

'Natya, my name is Natya' the girl said.

'Ok, I am Jill, this Claire, Leon, Carlos and Chris' the others nodded at her.

'How old are you?' I asked her.

'I just turned 16 yesterday'

'Well, happy birthday then, a little late but still' I joked.

Natya smiled 'thanks'

'How did you manage to survive this long?' Carlos asked.

'I always watched action movies, and played shooting games, so I learned how to aim and shoot. So everytime that one would get too close I would shoot it and I would run away'

'See Chris, I told you shooting games were good' I joked at my brother.

'quiet, did you hear that?' Leon asked.

'Hear what?' asked Carlos.

'There, that sound!'

Everyone froze, and got ready to shoot.

Jill and I stood in front of the girl, in order to protect her, facing the place where the sounds came from.

The girl wanted to run away, but I grabbed her arm.

'Don't worry, your safe with us, we are going to protect you' I said never taking my eyes of the creatures that were walking in our direction.

'Hold it right there! Don't come any closer' Carlos said.

'Carlos, they are zombies they wont listen to you' I said.

'Yes I know, but there might be a survivor in them who doesn't know that we are humans instead of those things'

'Good point'

'Enough talking more shooting guys!' Leon told us.

And we started shooting at them.

The first few bullets hit a few zombies in the stomach and arms.

After that I started to shoot better and more careful, and hit them in the head, knocking them to the ground.

I heard a soft sob behind me and turned around for a short moment to look at the girl.

She looked at me, and I smiled comforting.

And turned back to the creatures.

We shot a few more until they were all killed.

'See, I told you we'd protect you' I said to her.

'Yes you did, thank you'

'Ok guys, lets get moving before more of them will come here'

'Right' facing Natya 'You coming?'

'Sure' she said smiling a little.
