See? The chapters are little by little getting longer :D
Bryanna's POV
I watched the door for any undead, but there were only a few stragglers here and there. I simply just beat them back with Ellis' borrowed bat. I was getting slightly tired when I looked back to check on Ellis and Bailey. Bailey was resting her head on Ellis' shoulder, and I was instantly filled with jealousy and rage. I walked over to Bailey and woke her up, telling her that I was really tired and that I needed to catch up on my sleep. Bailey reluctantly got up and grabbed her axe. She sat over by the door to keep watch. I instantly regretted my actions because she looked so tired, plus she was injured heavily during our time out. I laid my head on my bag, and was so close to Ellis that I could feel his body heat on me. Sleep washed over me and I slipped into the darkness. When I woke up, Ellis was not next to me. Instead Bailey lay in front. I shook myself awake and looked around the room. Just below the door sat Ellis with his bat in hand. He nodded as a gesture to signal he acknowledged that I was awake. I nodded back and stretched each of my limbs. The sun was shining through the metal bars that allowed us to see outside, and I instantly felt better about venturing out later today. I got up and tiptoed over to Ellis, so as not to wake Bailey who was very deep in sleep. I sat next to him on the ground. "How long have you been up?" I asked him, whispering. "Ehh... a couple of hours. The sun was just comin up when I stood guard," he replied, whispering as well. I nodded. I had no idea what else to say, until Ellis spoke for me. "We should probably wake Bailey up, we have to get to the next safehouse, hopefully before night!" Ellis said it a little too enthusiastically and woke Bailey. Bailey sat up and rubbed her eyes. She gazed around the room with a dazed look in her eye, but stopped once she saw us. Bailey stood up, and stretched her muscles. "Where are we heading next?" she inquired. "Well, according to this, the next safehouse is across the highway." Ellis replied while holding a map up to his face. "Well, lets get locked and loaded!" We all sprang into motion, grabbing ammunition, other guns, medical kits, and pain pills. Just as we were about to head out of the door, Ellis exclaims "Hmmm... Did I ever mention the story about how my buddy Keith tried camping out on top of a building once? He was shooting crows, but the police were too busy teargassin' him to ask what he was doin' up there. He screamed for an entire year every single time he opened his eyes! Oh, man! At first, it was funny; then it just got sad, but then it got funny again! Oh, man!" Bailey and I laughed, and opened the exit to the safe room.
