MATT'S POV:

I quickly pulled John away from the sight of Xander becoming a meal and ran to a battered and rusted blue sedan. Kaitlyn and Noah followed dragging Sal along. I whacked at a beastie trying to gnaw on my black boot with my crowbar, which took half its head off. Kaitlyn set Sal in the middle and stabbed another in the head.

John's shots were going all over the place due to crying and Noah kicked off beasties too close, causing done to fall into others and stun them for a moment. He then shot some in the head.

I felt a hand grab my ankle, and pull me towards the beasties. A sharp pain shot through my leg, but a shot by Noah allowed me to pull myself back up. I rolled onto my back and checked my leg.

Teeth marks showed. I pressed on it and sighed when no blood came out. I dodged a bullet there, and speaking of bullets, one whizzed by me and struck a beastie in the head, and I was relieved to see my people firing at the beasties.

BETH'S POV:

I quickly shoved the pistol in my pocket and ran over on Tyler. I tripped however, and stared in horror as the mouth of the monster touched Tyler's cheek. In a panic, I threw the knife at it.

It landed right in its head.

Tyler shoved it off and felt his cheek. He looked at his hand and sighed in relief when no blood showed. Heath ran over and checked me over.

"What happened?!"

"Beth saved me." Tyler said as he stood up. Heath looked at the monster with the knife still in its head. He walked to it and pulled the knife out, and squatted in front of me.

"Good job."

He then stood up and walked off to the others, who had just finished clearing up the monsters.

MATT'S POV:

Once the beasties were gone, I hopped off the car and ran to the others. I saw Tyler with the others and Henry limping slightly. Tyler was rubbing his cheek, yet no blood was trickling down it. Sal and Kaitlyn went over to the others while John and Noah went to Xander, who was squirming underneath the fence. Once I had turned, a shot rang out and Noah and John rejoined the group, the latter lagging behind.

Sal rested on a rusted and dented car, with only small pieces of paint remaining. Eli had started to look the wound over while Drew talked with Tyler.

TYLER'S POV:

"Ow, ow, freakin bogus."

I felt yet another shard leave my hand as Drew pried one out. My choice of words was interesting to say the least, as Drew gave me a strange look.

"I know, I'm not a big curser."

"I see."

I smirked at Drew's simple response and seethed when another shard was pulled.

"What the hell happened?"

"Huh?"

"How did this happen?"

I raised an eyebrow, anticipating his next response. He got ready to respond, but I cut him off.

"Drew, I told Beth to shoot someone."

Drew's eyes widened, then went into a confused glance.

"Why?"

I paused for a moment.

"Drew, before I say this, promise me something..."

"Not to tell?"

"How'd-"

"I've seen enough movies and tv shows to know that you're telling a secret." Drew said. I rolled my eyes.

"I told Beth to shoot a guy."

"I know, you told me. What don't you want me to spill the beans about?"

"I never told Heath who she shot."

"Who was it then?"

"It was-"

"Hey everyone, we all need a decision!" Kaitlyn hollered across the camp.

"We'll finish later." I said as I walked to Kaitlyn. Drew followed after.

"Everyone, we need your opinions now, will you come with us to the settlement or not?"

The question that I had to answer finally came up. I looked around and saw Henry, Terrance, Matt, Eli, Drew, and Zoey raise their hand while Heath didn't raise his hand and prevented Beth from raising hers.

"We're not going."
