So this is the next chapter. I hope you liked the first one and kept on reading ;-D reviews are welcomed! This little story finally starts and in the next chapter our well known Walking Dead group will finally appear! Enjoy and have fun reading!

A herd was coming at me. How could I fight them with just a pipe and a limb arm? Around me were tall buildings, some of them already looked like ages had passed. A slurping made me turn. A walker had sneaked up on me. I didn't need to think twice what to do and smashed my pipe into his head. Behind the one that had approached, more walkers made their way towards more. I took a look around again. How could I escape? Where could I run? Was there any safe place here at all? There was no way out of my misery.

I was cornered. I stood in an alley with walkers approaching from ahead and behind. To my sides high building. On the one building was a pile of dirt and shattered stuff. My body hurt, I was injured, could I even manage to climb up there? They are coming closer! As if I didn't see that … I started for the pile. When I lifted my leg, pain stopped me from climbing. A piece of glass was stuck in thigh. Luck really wasn't on my side since shit hit the fan. Especially not today. I turned to see the dead geeks coming closer to me. Think Ella, think!

My heartbeat fastened and sweat was all over my body or was it blood? Girl, come on. You know what to do. Get your pretty ass outta here! The bleedin won't stop when you stay here and do nothin'. I wished that voice would just shut up for once. I closed my eyes, inhaled and exhaled. When I opened my eyes, I turned and wanted to face the herd, but I saw a fire escape. The ladder was on another building and lead the way to the roof. It was worth a try. One last look back told me death was close behind. I wanted to run, but every step I took was pure pain. Hurry bad ass! Limping as fast as I could, I was almost on the other side of the alley. Two walkers were almost next to me. I still had my pipe. The walker closest to me seemed quite fresh. Could I kill him with just one hit? I tried a strike against the side of his head, but that seemed to enrage him even more. But the cracking sound told me I had done some damage. When I tried to hit him again, the other walker grabbed my arm. I cried out loud in shock. I pushed him off me, losing my pipe. There was no weapon left, but two slurpers. I pushed one away but the other one was faster and stronger. It held me tight, his clacking teeth almost in my face. Without really thinking about the consequences, I took the glass out of my thigh and crushed it through its lower jaw into his head. Blood squirted on me. I pushed the lifeless body into the other walker who was ready to eat me alive. Jump! With a quick jump on the ladder I avoided the walker's arm who came closer way too fast. "Fuck!"

My whole body hurt as I clung to the ladder. I climbed up with just using my right hand properly. Keep on climbing and don't look down. The gnarling and teeth clacking under me grew louder and I didn't dare to look down. I hoped they couldn't climb up here. Suddenly a glass next to me broke and a zombie tried to grab me. I almost fell down in the cluster of dead geeks that had formed under me. I was shocked, was the hell damn city now full of these guys? My attacker fell out the window and into the crowd. I looked up to the roof and saw a figure with a baseball cap. Glenn?

Did he wait for me? Don't be silly. I tried to climb up faster, but I sweat like a pig. It was hard to get a good grip at the ladder. My breath got heavier. "Glenn, wait for me." Did I actually see him or was it just imagination? Was I already hallucinating? When I got almost to the top. I missed the next row and nearly fell back down, but someone reached for my wrist and I dangled in the air. I looked at a hairy arm. A man's arm. That couldn't be Glenn's arm. I was about to panic when I was dragged up to the roof.

"Look what I got." I looked at a very hairy man. He was small and chubby, he wore a blue jeans and a black shirt, a red baseball cab and a gun on his side. He helped you, he won't shoot you now. "How do you know?" Were my silent thoughts.

"Thanks." I muttered.

He let go off my wrist and two more person appeared next to him. "You look bad. Have you been bitten?" The woman to the man's right was tall and thin. I swear she would have been a supermodel. Her legs were suited in a short jeans and she wore a green tank top. Her long blond ponytail looked as if she had been in the shower today. They all looked so clean and fresh.

Suddenly the other person took a step towards me. "Are you dumb or what?" His gaze gave me a bad feeling. It definitely wasn't my lucky day. As he took another step I backed off. "You alone?" I wasn't sure what to do. His voice sounded as if he drank too much. A raspy voice. I almost let out a cry. I thought about my friends, about …

"She is bleeding. I think she is in some kind of a shock." The woman interrupted my thought.

The hairy man who saved me spoke again. "Did a walker scratch you or bite you?"

I shook my head. "Don't think so."

The woman touched my limp arm and I grimaced in pain. "We have to take her to the doc." No, I didn't wanna go with these strangers. They must have seen my expression. "Don't worry, we are good people."

I thought about a special guy who said that when I was a teen and in the end he tried to rob me. "Yeah sure." I mumbled. "Guess I heard that before."

The woman slightly laughed. "You can't do it on your own when you look like shit."

"Well thanks for the compliment." Was all I said.

I turned to see how I could escape. In the distance, at the end of the buildings was a car heading out of the city. Was that the car Glenn had returned in last time? My heart tightened.

"Come on little miss bloody ass, we can help you." Hairy guy was talking again. Did I even have a chance to escape here? Nobody of my group knew I was gone, nobody knew I sneaked out. As realization, that nobody exactly knew where I might be, hit me, I felt a heavy dark emptiness closing up on me.

The woman grabbed my right arm. "Hey missy, stay awake." Why the hell did she even care?

"She did so good getting herself out of the pile of shit. Thought she was dead when the shooting started. Now she faints by doing nothing?" My body had been running on adrenalin, now I felt back nothingness embracing me. My eyes were shut, but I still heard their damn voices. What the hell was he talking about? Have they been watching me when I tried to fight for my life? The voices faded as I faded into total darkness.

"She is pretty much worse than anything I have seen so far." Was that the model talking? I tried to open my eyes. "Will she make it?" Were they talking about me? I heard a motor and felt a movement, we must be in a car.

"Don't know. She seems like a fighter." I smiled at that remark. That is what my brother used to call me too. My brother …

"I say we should ditch her here and now!" I tried to open my eyes again, but still darkness was all around. Did they blindfold me?

"No, that would not be right!"

"She was alone, maybe someone is looking for her."

"Maybe she is alone and has no one to look after her, to help her."

"I say get rid of her now. Just open the door and throw her out."

"You must be kidding John. You can't simply …" Voices were raised.

"Shut up!" Someone silenced them. These people were talking about my fate over my head.

I wanted to move but I felt a firm grip on my body. "Don't move. You lost hell lot of blood." Model chick must be next to me.

"Where are you taking me?"

She carefully squeezed my right arm. "To our little new home. Doc will stitch you up." Was she trying to comfort me? Her voice changed from bitch to nice.

"Why did you blindfold me?"

The man who seemed grumpy and huffish answered me. "So you cannot run away." I swallowed loud.

"Don't be a pain in the ass." Model chick must be on my side. I wanted to ask questions, wanted to break free, but I felt too dizy. I wish I would have the strength to jump out and run to my group. But I was lost … no one knew I was gone, neither did I knew where I was. The car drove on while I passed out from time to time.

The car abruptly came to a halt. "End of line. Get out!" The men laughed. I was near panic as they shoved me out of the car. Where yould they take me?
