Episode 1 Part 2

Getting out of their vehicles and hurrying up to the front, the group managed to gather together, finally seeing the large obstruction ahead of them.

"Holy..." Roman muttered. "What the hell could've happened here."

Noting one of the decayed corpses on the ground Katia sighed. "Walkers by the look of it."

Eli scoffed. "This was a military checkpoint, there's no way Walkers did this, not to trained soldiers."

"If there was enough of them, Eli." Niko remarked. "Then they certainly would be able to. Doesn't matter how good you are, enough Walkers and you get overwhelmed."

Eli grumbled but shook his head. "This was the most direct route to the military base...it'll take too long to double back and take any other route...we might not have enough gas for that."

"What about the roads going off from here that we saw?" Zlata asked.

"Country roads mainly, there's a lot of farms around here." Marin answered.

They lapsed into silence, wondering what to do next before Eli spotted Arica rummaging around the nearest car to them, seemingly heedless of the dead driver mere inches from her.

"Hey, get away from him, he could be a Walker." He warned.

Arica looked back at him and replied. "Doubtful considering he's nothing but a torso."

It was then she stepped back, pulling out a backpack and opening it.

She turned to them and grinned. "Check this out."

It was full of food, something which gave them hope as they realized now the chance they had.

After sharing a glance with each other, Niko spoke.

"Alright, we'll split into groups, search along the cars for any more supplies...we'll need all we can get." He explained. "Be wary, there may still be Walkers amongst the cars, so don't let your guard down..."

Eli then cut in. "Mara, you're with me. Marin you take up look out on top of the RV. Zlata, Roman, Marko, Katia, Boris. Fan out and start searching."

Niko then turned to Arica. "You and I will keep a lookout too, we'll also stockpile anything found so, you guys find anything, bring them to us."

There was a pause before Niko then turned to Grozdan and the other kids.

"You guys all work together and stay close to each other. Grozdan, you're in charge, keep them all safe." He told the older boy.

Swallowing nervously Grozdan nodded. "R-Right."

They all parted briefly to grab their weapons from the vehicles. As they did so, Kalina bit her lip.

"Why can't I go with you?" She asked Katia in her small voice.

Katia smiled softly, kneeling down. "There's so much to do, we all need to spread out and find anything useful, quickly. You'll be okay Kalina, you'll be with Grozdan, you know he won't let anything happen to you."

Kalina nodded and then hugged Katia. "Kay mommy."

Katia hugged her back, a warm feeling in her heart at hearing that. But it was quickly extinguished as she noted the sudden flicker in Grozdan's expression. The sudden hardness in his eyes. She stood up and Kalina hurried over to Grozdan who just nodded to Katia and, without a word, went to find the other kids.

Katia couldn't help but feel anxious about that, ever since Kalina began to see Katia as a new mother, he had been more and more angry, sullen and even once lashed out at her attempts to ask him what's wrong.

"Katia, you ready?" Marko asked suddenly, getting her attention.

She turned and saw him standing there, offering a soft smile. She did her best to return it and followed him as they began to join the others in searching the blockade. They wasted no time, searching cars, making sure any that were still occupied had truly dead occupants before searching them. But there wasn't as many supplies as they had hoped, at least, none they had found so far. Meanwhile Marin remained in position on top of the RV, armed with a sniper rifle, keeping an eye out for anything untoward. Meanwhile Niko and Arica stayed near the RV, keeping an eye out for anything that might approach too close for Marin to spot.

"More food...some water, not much in the way of weapons." Mara remarked as she searched another car.

Eli nodded. "Yeah. These people weren't looking to defend themselves it seems."

Mara bit her lip, unsettled by the way he was looking at her, knowing all too well what he was capable of now.

Still, unable to help herself she remarked. "Grozdan can't watch all the kids at once, we should've at least had Misha with us."

"He's be fine, you have more important things to worry about." Eli snapped. "Now get looking."

Meanwhile, carrying some of the supplies she had found, as well as a rather interest find, Zlata hurried back to the RV.

Reaching the RV Zlata smiled.

"Hey guys, check this out." She remarked.

They noted the large bag she had with her and when she opened it up they gasped. Inside were a lot of bladed weapons.

"Someone was ready at least." Arica remarked. "Put it inside, we'll fix everybody up with a weapon soon enough."

Zlata nodded in agreement and headed inside. Meanwhile Arica went to check on things around the other side of the RV while Niko approached a nearby car and began to check, to see if anything was missed. The others continued their search, the kids under Grozdan's watchful eye as they searched a few cars. Misha and Lydia by one car, him and Kalina by another. Mara and Eli were also nearby. That was when Marin saw something, coming from the direction of the checkpoint itself. He quickly raised his rifle, looking through his scope.

'A Walker, I...wait a minute...' He thought.

His eyes widened in horror as he saw this Walker wasn't alone, but not with just one or two, or even twenty like had attacked them before. There was at least a hundred now approaching.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
