A/N

I hope yall are ready for this chapter. This is the first time the girls encounter violence face to face, and it turned out loaded with awesomeness and good stuff. I hope I'm not overselling it. Go on! Read, review, follow and whatnot.

Date: I'll fill it out later.

Early in the morning. I slept for a few hours but I'm still crazy tired. Finally Ryanne and I are able to start heading out. But damn. It's sad how fast this happened, one day everything is fine and ok and the next these people who known me for a long time try to murder me. I am just in shock, and wow. No one ever thinks about how technology and electricity are (or should I say were) a big part of society. Not having that can change someone so much that they are lead to murder their friends and family... I don't even get how that happens. I feel like now since it's been a few days since the incident it's finally sinking in. The reality of this is just so confusing and sad, but this is life now and I'm not sure if it will ever get better... But one can dream, I guess...

Later

We walked for maybe an hour and then we stopped. Ry Ry took a nap and tried out some traps 'n such. It's around twilight now and we just finished setting up camp for tonight, and by setting up camp I mean Ryanne put a blanket down and I hid some of my stuff up in a tree. I also found a tree I'm gonna sleep in because I don't like sleeping on the ground. I just don't so shut up... Anyway... I think we'll just chill here till tomorrow then we need to leave the area. I don't even know where we are right now but Ry Ry says she knows where we're going so I'll trust her on that. Goodnight notebook.

Date: dammit I'm losing track... The day after yesterday's day before?

Well shit. We have this little problem and it's really bad. I'll try to write it in the best detail that I can just in case someone finds this after I'm killed and so they can see how awesome Ry and I are. I was just waking up this morning and I guess it was a little bit later considering how Ryanne was finishing up her "breakfast"(if you're gonna call a piece of bread breakfast then breakfast), I threw a small stick at her to make sure she wasn't a zombie. I was going to get out of the tree, but then Ryanne told me to climb back up. I was confused but I didn't hesitate to do it considering the unusual tone in her voice. When I got back up to the spot where I put all of our important things, she told me to go a little bit higher, above a mess of branches and dead leaves. I felt like I would fall at any second it was so high. If I fell it could have been bad, I could have landed on my head or worse broke my leg, but luckily I found a sturdy branch to stand on. Then, from under me I could barely hear Ry say something along the lines of "do you see anything at 10:00?". I checked and all I could see were trees and bushes. I kept looking and then human nature kicked in, and my eyes caught sight of movement and it was coming toward our camp site and fast. I got to a lower branch but I was still hidden by many dead leaves and told Ry. She wasn't shocked by the fact someone was coming. We agreed that it wasn't someone who was following us but either way wasn't good news. From what I could tell it was a man in his late twenties, and from the tree he didn't look armed but I could have been wrong. Also by his appearance he looked like he'd been eating pretty good, so he was probably in a group. My best guess was that he saw smoke from a fire last night and was sent to investigate. Ryanne grabbed a knife from her neatly packed bag then threw the bag and a few other things up to me to place on a few branches close to the trunk. She was clenching her fist tight, I could barely see the knife that was the size of her hand open in it, I couldn't tell if she's scared or prepared to attack.

The guy was getting closer and we didn't talk about a plan in any way, but we already knew what to do. There were a few outcomes that wouldn't be good so we need to be careful. He was coming. He started to yell out to Ryanne saying stuff like "oh hello" or "come here little girl, I want to talk to you" but everything about him screamed sketchy or pedo. So he started to come closer. He wouldn't talk while he was walking, I think he was planning to attack in someway or take a bag that we left at the bottom of the tree. He was right in front of the tree I was in, and he hadn't noticed me yet. He started asking questions like where are you from, are you here alone, are you with a group, and do you have any food to spare. Right then I saw him reaching behind his back and lifting up the back or his shirt ever so lightly to grab something with an oddly familiar shape. At that moment I dropped a leaf to signal to Ryanne that he had a knife and she nodded. Then I jumped. The poor guy didn't see it coming. I landed on him black widow style, with one knee on either shoulder, knocking him unconscious right away. We tied him up to the tree and decided what we would do next. Ryanne was going to try and find the camp while I watched the guy, if she wasn't back in twenty minutes she told me to leave without her, but we both knew that wouldn't happen. She left. I don't know what she did in that time but I watched her until she was out of sight. About five minutes passed before that guy woke up. And was confused and had a headache, but I couldn't blame him, he could blame me but whatever. He started saying a bunch of things but I wasn't listening. 20 minutes passed and I started to listen to him "she's not coming back" "she left you here alone" "why don't you just leave now she is probably dead"... Dead... It's funny in a sense... How someone who just left a few minutes ago be dead now, I just couldn't bare the thought of it... "SHUT UP" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I started hitting him, punching him on the arms and chest and even the face a few times... can I say I for that? I didn't mean to say it, scream it, do it, but I came out. I couldn't let this guy get to me. But he kept on talking. "you won't last a day without her" "you wouldn't have been able to capture me without her" I punched him one last time, and I guess I have a strong uppercut because he was out again. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw a running figure and it was Ryanne, thank god. She yelled to me asking why I didn't leave and I simply said no one will be left behind while we are together. Then we decided to leave the guy there, he'll be found by his big group of eventually. I got the stuff down and we left. Ryanne noted while we were walking how the guy was in really bad shape when we left and asked me if I did anything to him, I tried to avoid answering in as many ways as I could because I don't want her to worry about what I did. she eventually gave up, this wouldn't be the first time this has happened... Now we are camping out in a nice little field. I think that people used to have camp fires here, must of been fun.
