'Just leave her man, she's dead'
'We can't just leave her here man' a voice answered as Daisy began to stir on the ground 'Look she's waking up'
Little by little Daisy started to open her eyes, the light making her eyes burn causing her to close her eyes once again. Taking a deep breath Daisy opens them once more, allowing her eyes to adjust to the daylight. Looking down at her were two men she did not recognise, both men were older than Daisy, Daisy being in her early thirties, the men looked more in their late forties or early fifties.
'Hey, hey take it easy' the man with the salt and pepper hair told her, he had a thick grey goatee with a scar on each cheek. Daisy didn't know him or the other man squatting by him, he had dark black curly hair and also a dark goatee 'Hey calm down, you're okay'
'Who are you?' Daisy croaked out her throat dry and sore.
'I'm Filip but everyone calls me chibs' he looks over to the man at his side 'This is Alex people call him Tig, you have nothing to be afraid of lass. Do you know your name?'
'Da...Daisy'
'Hi Daisy. Do you remember what happened?' the same man asks.
'I was looking for supplies, I came inside, I was looking around. Then I feel a pain in the back of my head and everything went black'
'It looks like you have a concussion but you don't have any broken bones, do you think you can sit up?'
'Yeah, I think so'
Slowly Tig and Chibs help her sit up, nausea hits her and makes her feel as if she was going to vomit, Daisy looks closely at the men. She noted that they were both wearing biker kuttes, they didn't seem to want to hurt her as they would have left her to do and let the undead get her. She realises that she is still inside the garage she had tried to loot, still alarmed that she didn't see anyone when she came inside. It was dark and the windows were boarded up, the only light that came in were the daylight streaming through the gaps in the wood on the window.
'Thanks for helping me out'
'Don't mention it, you don't sound like you're from around here love' Chibs tells her, watching her curiously.
'Right, the UK. I was travelling across the states to try and find myself I guess, I tried to get a flight home but it was too late. Everything was locked down and I got stuck here'
'Travelling in what?' the curly man asked.
'An RV, it's outside. Didn't you see it?'
'Sorry to disappoint you but there's no RV out there?'
'What?!'
Daisy quickly scrambled to her feet ignoring the nausea, her legs felt like jelly as she tried to steady herself.
'Hey what are you doing?'
She ignores them and rushes outside, the RV is gone, all her supplies that she started building were inside that monster. Daisy starts to panic as she had no way to get out of there, she would have to start from scratch again. It was still hot as hell outside, even with the breeze blowing outside blowing her hair into her face.
'Mother fucker!' Daisy yells as she throws her hands in the air 'Fucking arseholes left me for dead and took everything!'
Daisy turns around Tig and Chibs look back at her, Chibs looking concerned that she might collapse, she runs her fingers through her damp hair as she tries to cool her temper.
'Did you see anyone else here?' she asks the pair.
'No just you' Tig answers, he looks around making sure her outburst didn't draw any attention.
'Fuck!'
'Where were you heading?' Chibs asks her.
'I was heading to Georgia, I heard that the CDC there might have some answers to what was going on here'
'That's a hell of a drive'
'It's the only place that I could think of going, I drove thousands of miles already I would have managed it, where did you guys come from if you don't mind me asking?'
'California' Tig answers her 'You?'
'I was heading in that direction then I heard it was over run, I don't even know what state in'
'Utah'
'Oh, I thought I was further out. Dammit'
'Come with us, we can keep ya safe' Chibs offers as he walks closer to her 'You have nothing to worry about'
'You don't even know me, why would you want to help me? I mean someone left me for dead and took my shit'
'Because we are all that is left, we have to keep fighting'
Daisy stands still as she goes through the reasons not to go with them, that they might kill her, rape her and leave her for dead. However they helped her when she was knocked out on the ground, she did want to give them a chance and not let the negative thoughts make the decision for her.
'Where are you heading?'
'We don't know, we could go to Georgia sounds like a start' Chibs tells her.
'Really?'
'Yeah'
'Where's your car?' Daisy asks as she looks around but sees nothing but two motorcycles standing by the door.
'We came on our bikes, that okay with you?'
'I guess so, but I have never been on one before'
'You can ride with me or Tig, take your pick'
'I'll ride with Tig if that's okay' she answers.
'Yeah that's alright doll' Tig replies with a smirk.
'We should grab some supplies. It's going to be a long ride. Take this' Chibs pulls out a black gun from the back of his pants and holds it in front of him.
'I've never used one before'
'How did you survive out here with those things?'
'I had a baseball bat with me and a machete, the guns draw those things'
'Just take it, keep a lookout. Stay by the bikes and shout if you see any of the dead fuckers' Chibs places the gun in her hand and places his other hand on her shoulder 'If any of them come too close just point and shoot, aim for the head'
'Yeah, yeah okay. Just don't be long. I don't like being out in the open'
Chibs nods, pulling his hand away and walks back inside the darkened building, Tig following close behind him. Daisy does as she is told and waits by the bikes, her body on edge as she looks out towards the road, internally hoping that they don't leave her for too long. She wanted to get as far away from the place and get to Georgia, she hoped to find some answers to why this all happened and how.
