(Normal POV)
Brent ooked ahead of the car deserted road ahead of them, trying to drive the truck through all this would be a real pain in the ass.
Groaning he stomped over to the truck and leaned over against the passenger side where Laura was sleeping, tapping on the window she woke up startled the realized that it was him.
Rolling down the window she rubbed out the tiredness from her eyes.
"What's going on?" she asked in mid-yawn, watching as he pointed out ahead of them.
"These cars go on till the edge of the highway, there's now way the truck can make it through or around them." he said, Laura looked out the window and saw what he was talking about
"Fucking shit man...what do we do now?" she asked, Brentreached into the back seats and grabbed their bags with a sigh I'm frustration.
"Looks like we're gonna have to walk it." he stated while handing out her bag, Laura looked at him like he was a mad man for even suggesting they go on foot.
"Are you out of your fucking mind... We can't go out on foot. Did you see what was out there when we drove passed the.." she was trying to say in a fit of panic till Brent cut her off.
"Laura..we'll be fine, I won't let anything happen to you. We look out for each others ?" he said while putting on a genuine smile, hestiantly she climbed out the truck and walked over to him while grabbing her bag.
"Ok.." she said, gripping onto the baseball bat she followed close behome him as they started walking down the road.
Its been almost eight days since they left town, not going to sugar anything but its been fucked up these past couple.
The refugee camp shouldn't be to far from here, they could've gotten here sooner if it wasn't for the over crowded people trying to leave the city and crossing paths with those things.
From what Laura was told they were called Runners or walkers, for some reason they didn't seem like the zombies that she'd seen on tv or in movies.
They were a lot more faster and feed frenzy raged, none of this made sense as to how something that was thought of to be fiction was actually happening in real life.
"Hey..you know what this reminds me of?" Laura asked Brent, he glanced back to her.
"What's that?" he asked, she fiddled with the string of her her hoodie.
"The game you used to play all the time." she said, Brent really thought about it and then noticed that she had a point.
"Fuck it kind of does, only your not immune to the virus and I'm not a old man trying to take you to a group of people to find a cure." he joked causing both of them to laugh.
Laura pulled out her cellphone and tried seeing if she could get a signal. Looking at the screen she groaned when it only showed an X mark across the bar signal.
"You're not gonna find a signal out here squirt, the satilite connection is shut down." Brent said hearing her pacing back and forth behind him as they walked.
"It wouldn't hurt to try searching and stop calling me that you ass." Laura grumbled in annoyance, she heard a chuckle come from him and couldn't help but smirk.
They continued down the road for what felt like hours, luckily Laura's music app still works without Wi-Fi and she played her favorite playlist.
Although Brent often complained about some of the songs that were played, but it was better than listening to the dead silence around them.
It was almost sunset when Brent saw a wall barrier up ahead, feeling ecstatic he shook Laura's shoulder and pointed at it.
"Laura look, there it fucking made it!" he exclaimed, Laura screamed with joy and began running towards the barrier.
Both of them ran fast as they could to the wall, they screamed for the people to know they were outside the wall.
"Hey..hey can anyone hear us!?" Laura yelled, David tried throwing rocks across the wall for anyone to notice.
This last for about a minute till they both started to realize that there was no noise coming from behind the wall, now that Brent really looked around. He noticed that there was no one guarding outside the barrier.
"This doesn't seem right...shouldn't there be some kind of security or even a damn gate?" Laura questioned, Brent looked down both ways of where the wall was going and noticed that there was a portion of it knocked down.
"Hey...there's a opening over right there..come on." he said while grabbing onto Laura's hand and guiding them over.
When they reached towards the opening the first thing they saw that what appeared to be a army tank that was the main culprite of the hole,helping each other over the huge vehicle Laura started to look at their new surroundings.
The place looked completely deserted, no one was even here, no army, civilians, nothing.
"Brent..it doesn't look like no one's even here.." she stated, he looked around them in confusion.
"It doesn't make any sense...lets look around and see if we can find anyone." he said then began walking ahead of Laura, she followed behind while grabbing at the metal bat that was tucked in the belt loop of her jeans.
They searched down through what looked to be an accommodation tent. Everything was scattered all over, resource bins and medical supplies.
"Aye see if we can find anything useful and something to eat." Brent ordered, the idea of finally finding food made Laura's stomach grumble in pain.
Its been almost three days since they've eaten their last supply of rations, if it wasn't for her moral code of not eating meat she could eat a squirrel right about now.
Rummaging through all the bins Brent cursed in aggravation when there wasn't no sign of any food, on the plus side there was enough medical supplements and first aid kits to last them for quite awhile in case of emergency.
Laura was trying to lift up a huge metal storage self, there appeared to be something that looked like food underneath.
"Fucking shit, this thing weighs a ton..Brent mind giving me a hand?" she groaned in obvious need of assitance, chuckling at her struggle Brent jogged right over and began lifting up the other side.
"There hold this so I can grab the bag..there it is almost.."Laura said while bending down to reach for the bag, tilting her head to look fully underneath the self she saw something that made her blood turn cold.
Brent watched as Laura scream and scramble away from him, confused he looked down at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked but before she could even get a single word out something latched at the leg of his pants.
Both of them screamed in fright as a walker tried pulling Brents leg to get him close to it, he quickly let go of the self without realizing that that his foot was sticking to far inside where it hit the ground.
When letting go it automatically landed right on his ankle, causing him to yell in pain and hit the ground.
Laura rushed over to try getting the self off his ankle when the walkers hand lashed out through the opening and grab at her, panicking she reacted and tried smashing at his hands only to miss a bunch of times with bad aiming.
"Get the Fuck back !" she screamed while trying to hit it, but then was startled when the sound of gun fire erupted from beside her.
Looking down to see that Brents gun was smoking as to him shooting at the walker, his face was contorted in pain bringing Laura back out of her startled trance.
"Shitt..shit hold on." she said while using the all strength in her petite body to lift up the storage self.
It took about three times for her to finally manage to lift it up enough for Brentto pull his ankle out from underneath.
"Mother fucking...gah.." he hissed in pain, Laura knelt down to examine the damage that was done.
When lifting up the end of his pants as gently as possible she gasped to see that the sharp edging of the self had cut deep into his ankle.
"Oh fuck.." She whispered, Brent tried touching at it but only cause more pain then needed.
"Ahh fuck...Laura hand me the first aid you found..quickly." he demanded hastly, obeying Laura opened her bag and pulled out the kit to hand to him.
Brent made quick hast to pour out the all the contents next to him, finding the peroxide and gauze to wrap around his ankle.
"Laura I need you to pour this shit over my wound, and don't stop till its all gone." he orders while handing her the bottle, hesitantly she grabbed it out of his hand while Brent clenched his thigh to prepare for the pain.
"Ok...just please don't move to much" she said before opening the bottle cap and quickly pouring the peroxide over the wound.
Groaning through clenched teeth Brent tried to not move his leg so much from how fucking bad it hurt, his other hand hit against the ground to go with pain.
Until there was a final drop from the content Laura began to wrap the gauze over the wound to cover the cleaned stinging wound.
"Fucking shit that hurt." Brent huffed with a cracked smile, Laura tried not to laugh at his attempt to make this situation humorous.
They both smirked at each other till a sound captured their attention, from outside the tent. Laura looked at the opening of the tent and then at Brent, she appeared to be nervous from the sudden unsettling feel in the air.
"What was that?...", she questioned knowing that there was no way that he would even have an answer for.
"Hell if I know...take a peek and see..don't make a noise." Brent whispered, shaking her head Laura tip toed over everything on the floor and quietly made her was over to opened curtain entrance.
Slowly she leaned over to look out into the open,there was nothing from the right corner of her eye.
But when she slightly looked over to the left she had to cover her mouth from gasping when there were about four of those things wandering just outside the tent.
Trying not to freak out Laura moved quietly and fast back over to Brent, he saw how panicked she looked.
"There's more of those things outside." she warned in a shaken tone,"How many of them are there?" he asked.
"I..I don't know I could only see about four or five of them." Laura said getting more scared, Brent tried to think of something quick.
The hole from where they came in from wasn't that far away from the tent, if they could somehow make it around those things without detection they would be alright.
Though the main problem was that he couldn't walk on his own with the injured ankle, using his good leg to stand up he held onto Laura's arm for her to grab him.
"We're going to have to try going around them and go straight for the broken barrier. But I need your help to walk.." Brent said through gritted teeth with the stinging pain coming from wound.
Shaking her head Laura wrapped her brothers arm over her shoulder and placed her left arm around his waist, quietly and not to fast for her to lose Brents balance they made their way to the other side of the tent.
Brent peeked through the closed curtain to see if there was any sign of them, nodding his head Laura knew that it was clear to go.
Pushing through the curtain Laura held onto him tightly while trying to not make any noise to draw attention towards them.
The sky was almost dark, making this nearly harder than it needed to be. Thankfully there was some lights that hung on each corner of the camp to aluminate some guidance.
Laura listened out and waited to see if Brent detected if those things were near them, getting the ok thumb she continued onward. Making sure to not go so far into the open area.
"There it Is...if you can help me get over the tank we're good out of here." Brent whispered, nodding in agreement Laura made hast towards the opening way.
They managed to make it a few get away when one of those things popped out at them from the right, Laura screamed and tried pulling Brentaway from it.
It looked at both of them and snarled while trying to lash out , Brent reached down and pulled his gun out.
Managing to shoot at the thing but wasting about four of his bullets and leaving him two left.
"We have to move..now." Laura stated while trying to rush them.
"Laura watch out!"Brent yelled when another one came up from beside her, quickly Laura let go of him to retract her bat and smash it across the things head.
When hearing its neck snap she looked back to see Brent on the floor, cursing at her action she quickly began pulling him back up.
"Shit I'm sorry... Oh my God!" she screamed to realizing that more of those things were coming up behind them, they were probably drawn to the sound of his gun going off.
" Fuck move Laura move!" Brent yelled while using all his strength to go with her fast movevents towards the opening.
When they made it to the end of the tank Laura tried helping Brent up to climb over, but the heaviness of his weight wasn't helping her at all.
Cursing she panicked when glancing back to seeing those things drawing closer, thinking quickly she figured out how a way for him to get across.
"Crawl underneath to get over...do it now!" she yelled when he looked at her in confusion, cursing under his breath Brent moved down to ground and start crawling underneath the tank in fast movements.
Laura was about to do the same when feeling the presence of a walker coming up from behind, thinking fast she swung the bat and hit it across the face.
When it fell to ground she realized that those things were getting closer than expected, thinking quickly she climbed on top of the the tank and moved fast over the other side of the wall.
Jumping off to the ground she rushed down underneath the tank to pull out Brent fast as possible away from those things, his hands latched onto hers as she dragged him out and onto the side of the road.
"Jesus fuck..that was close." he coughed out through wanted breath, Laura was about to add onto that comment when looking up to see that those fuckers were climbing over the tank and rushing over towards them.
"Brent watch out!" she yelled pushing his out the way, her bat collided with the things face but she was pushed down to the ground along with it on top.
Brent pulled out his gun to shoot at it but then heard more of those thing climbing over the tank, not knowing what to do he used his first bullet to shoot the thing off Laura.
She pushed its body off and made her over to him, Brent aimed his gun at the herd of them climbing over, both of them were terrified of not knowing what to do next.
Panic started coming over Laura while also beginning to feel light headed.
Please Lord don't let this be how we ends...Brent prayed.
Both of them weren't prepared for those things to charge at them when a sudden brightness of lights came from behind.
Before neither of them could look back a thunderous sound of gun fire erupted ,Brent reacted fast by pulling Laura down and covering his body over to shield hers from the bullets flying above them.
Laura eyes were closed and ears rang with the endless rounds, until finally the air went quiet.
Neither one of them looked up to see if it was finally over, that is when the sound of car doors opening and closing caught their attention.
"Ho-ly shit..that was a fucking herd of those things!" a mans voice exclaimed,Brent pulled off of Laura and look up to see who helped them.
"Jesus Christ, both your asses sure are lucky we came just in time other wise you'd be as God damn meal." the same mans voice boasted out loud again.
Laura sat herself up beside Brentto see a group of what appeared to be five or six men coming out two trucks.
One of them was tall looking with a receding hair line and a porn man mustache, he had on a grey pladed button up shirt with dark denim pants and brown chocolate boots.
The other guy standing beside him was a bit shorter than him appeared to looked more builtwise, he had on a black leather jacket and blue jeans along with grey boots to complete the attire.
"Th..thanks.. Who ever you guys are." Laura managed to say through her dry mouth, her head was starting to get dizzy and she was feeling a bit fatigued.
"No need to thank us sweetheart...what in the Gods name are you two kids doing out here by yourselves anyway." the guy with the leather jacket asked while helping Brent up on his feet.
The other one reached out his hand to gelp Laura up, generously she took it and pulled herself up to stand up till suddenly it felt everything moving to fast.
"We were..Laura are you...Laura!" Brent yelled when shenbegan to faint and fall backwards, before she could hit the ground someone caught her just in time.
"Man she doesn't look to good...Simon take her to the back of the truck, Dwight help the kid walk to the passenger side and move out before anymore those things come out!" she heard the mans muffled voice ordered through her blurred mind, trying looking for Brent but her vision was growing dark.
"Wait... Brent..Don't leave me..." she called out before slipping into darkness.
