Heroics
"Errr Clem stop looking at me like that"
"…"
"C'mon Clem please stop"
Next time I'm sleeping on the ground, argh my stomach hurts gosh she kicks hard. Well Pete was enough to break the silence.
"C'mon we gotta catch some fish."
"Ok, were coming."
Well Clem is still staring at me, god dammit.
"Clem c'mon we're going fishing"
"Fine, don't you come near me again"
Wow Clem that sounds very harsh, Clem got her stuff and I got my stuff.
"Let's see, Katana Checked, Kunai Checked, Knife Checked, Pistol Checked, Ammo Checked, an-"
"Why are you talking to yourself?"
"Wut?"
"I said why are you- ugh never mind well Pete is waiting for us Etri lets go."
We both walked down the stair waving to everyone before we left.
"You guys better get something good to eat"
"Hah, You can count on us Luke"
"Cmon we have to go now Etri"
She tugged on my shirt a bit, god damn she is strong for her size.
"Ok, ok, don't have to force me."
Well Me, Pete, Clem, and Nick walked down the path surrounded by trees and dirt, I noticed Nick was already missing.
"Errr Pete where did Nick go?"
"Didn't you hear him, he said he was going to a piss"
"Oh didn't notice, so how long are we to the river."
"Shouldn't be that long, just couple more minutes, so has anyone taught you how to shoot, and I mean properly an idiot with a finger can shoot"
"Well yeah"
"Yep"
"Well Nick was about your guy's age when I brought him hunting, we came across this beautiful deer, he lines up the rifle like I taught him then the next thing I hear is! "Uncle Pete I can't do this please don't make me shoot it!" Then I was going to shoot the deer myself and he nearly guts shot me, brought the deer the next day and he never talked to me for a week."
"Wow…"
Took the words out of my mouth, well I still don't know where we are but I can pinpoint that we are somewhere that I have no idea where, well here comes Nick.
"I thought you were going to wait for me?!"
"Boy you know where the river is"
"So how more long is the river now?"
We already passed the water drain thingy but doesn't seem were getting anywhere, gosh I'm so impatient today.
"Just a coup-…Oh my god."
We all saw this whole horrific sight.
"Mother of god, what just happened here"
"FUBAR"
Pete started walking across the river just for Nick to call him out.
"We have to get out of here guys!"
"There could be someone alive!" Clem pointed out.
"Yeah she's right Nick you gotta get over here."
"Ill just check the bodies over here"
Wow Nick you are totally being a total pussie, I guess I'll go help Pete check out the bodies on other side.
"What about me, what should I do?"
"Just watch the tree line and check out the other bodies"
"I'd be more useful with a gun…"
An idea popped in my head, my tactical knife that used to be my dad's, I handed her the sturdy piece of metal.
"Here this should at least be somewhat better."
"I still prefer a gun."
"Oh shut up Clem, you're going to start shooting me for sure." I teased her a bit .
"Oh cmon Pete wait for me."
Pete was already on the other side, wait I see something.
"PETE WATCH OUT!"
Oh god his face though so priceless, he hoped in time to dodge the walker atleast. And then just smashed it's head in.
"Wow Etri thanks, I could've been one of them."
"No problem."
I and Pete looked around a bit, mostly dead people but I was able to find some ammunition, let me count. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Yeah 5 bullets I guess that's ok enough. I looked over to Clem to see what she was up to, seems she is occupied with some backpack well I went over to Pete to see what he is doing.
"You doing ok over here Pete?"
"Yeah just thinking about how I could've been a lurker if it wasn't for you"
"Many welcomes, I'll be here for anybody"
I could hear Nick shouting at the other side.
"GUYS WE GOT LURKERS INCOMING!"
The words were alarming enough.
"NICK GET OVER HERE!"
"NO WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE CABIN."
Well here's an argument going on, and walkers were catching up…fast. Think fast, think fast!
"CLEM GO WITH NICK NOW!"
She did what she was told and I got to Pete.
"Come on we have to go NOW!"
Pete took a quick glance at Nick then ran off with me; man today was sure not just awkward but one damn long day, and I assure this isn't the end of the day.
Approximately 7:30 PM
Pete was able to find some truck in middle of nowhere.
"Come on we can hang in here for the night and rest."
"Yeah I can agree with that."
We both scanned the area for any danger just in case there was a walker waiting for a bite, luckily there was nothing to be a danger, getting in the truck Pete locked the doors so we can't have our throats slit when we're sleeping.
"So I guess were sleeping on cold hard metal?"
Talk about sleeping on a floor, metal is going be worse.
"Yeah I guess it's all that we can manage, let's take a rest it's going to be a long night."
One long night…
