CHAPTER 2

Leon surveyed his surroundings. Tree's were on the left and right of the small path that led forward. Crows flew over his head. They brought back so many memories. How he remembered them was that they pecked anything and everything in their way.

Leon looked to his left to see Sara standing next to him. She was staring straight ahead, looking at their destination. Leon started forward. Sara's small footsteps could be heard behind him.

"It looks like it's about to rain." Sara said glancing up at the dark clouds that floated above their heads.

"Yeah..." Everything went silent as they didn't know what else to say to eachother. But that all changed once a small cabin on their left came into view.

"We'll go check out that cabin and see if anybody saw Ashley." Leon said digging in his back pocket for the picture. Once he found it he held it out in front of him. Both Leon and Sara examined the cabin from the outside.

It was a one story cabin. The cabin looked like it was abandoned and very old. The white wood that held the old fashioned house together was smudged with mud and holes could be seen. The door also had small holes, and some of the shingles on the roof were falling off.

"Whoa, it looks like nobody took care of this house." Sara mumbled to herself.

Leon took the lead and went to the door. He took a deep breath then knocked softly. The door creaked opened slightly. Leon knocked again and when no one answered he pushed the door all the way open.

From first sight he could see a man standing in front of a burning fireplace. The shadow of the flames seemed to dance on the wall. The man stood still and didn't show that he heard Leon and Sara come in. The man wore old fashioned typed clothing. He had a dirt stained white shirt and brown pants. He also wore black working boots.

"Hello...Sir. We just wanted to know if you have seen this girl around." Sara said pointing to the picture that Leon held. The man stood still. It was like he didn't even hear them. Leon cleared his throat and asked but louder than Sara had.

"Sir...Have you seen this girl?"

This time the guy had moved. He tilted his head still facing the fireplace. After a couple seconds he lifted his head back up and slowly turned around.

Sara gasped at what she saw. The man held an axe firmly in his hands. Sara unholstered both of her guns.

"Please, don't come any closer." The man didn't listen as he ran forward at Leon. He held the axe above his head and screamed a war cry.

Leon on the last second rolled to his right, out of range. The axe came down with unimaginable force. The man glanced up at Leon then tried to pry the axe out of the floor boards. When proven useless he went for the nearest person which was Sara. He grabbed her shoulders. His cold fingers dug into her skin. Sara screamed out. "LEON!"

Leon ran over and held up his handgun. "Don't make me do this..." When the guy didn't stop Leon took his gun and shot the man's leg. Blood flowed down his leg and stained the floor boards. The guy had finally let go of Sara. He had stumbled back and that was enough time for Sara to shoot the guy in the forehead. A large hole was indented right between the crazed man's eyes.

"Thanks." Sara said exausted. Leon nodded and knelt down next to the dead body. The man's eyes were what had scared Leon. They were pure white, just like how the all the zombies eyes were.

"Why didn't he listen...Why was he trying to hurt us?" Sara asked holding her chest.

"How am I supposed to know." Leon said snobbily, which was something he didn't mean to do but just sort of happened.

Leon closed his eyes flashBacks played in his mind like a movie. "Are you okay?" Sara asked knowing that there was something wrong.

"Yeah." He said then stood up.

"Lets look for anything useful." Leon added then went over to a bookshelf that hugged the left wall. Sara noticed that not too many things filled the house. Only a small table, a couple bookshelves, and a small twin bed with brown colored sheets.

Leon scanned the books. Most of them were all dog earred and had dust collecting on them.

Sara went to the other bookshelf and did the same. When they found nothing useful they turned around and headed for the door. "AHH!" A man's loud screaming could be heard.

Leon and Sara bolted out the door and looked in the direction that they had come from. The car they entered with had dissapeard...Same with the guys they were with.

"What do you think happened?" Sara asked panicked.

"I don't know." Leon said quietly and stared in the direction the scream came from.
