Chapter 2

A/N: At the beginning of each chapter I show the thoughts of one of the survivors it will be bold & italics so you can tell where the thoughts start and ends easier. Please review.

Collins P.O.V

I wonder what is with these zombies. How can they change so much? I mean I've never met anyone the size of that tank. And I have never met someone who can jump about fifty feet in distance all in one jump. The thing with the giant tongue would have killed me if it weren't for Raiden. I'm thankful and all but what is with that name. I guess I shouldn't question it; he is the first person I have met since the outbreak started. Hopefully were not alone because while he is a zombie killer he is also a little cold. But I guess that happens in this type of world. I don't think he is cold enough to abandon me. I hope so anyway. Guess I'll find out.

Collin got up from the corner he was sitting in and started to walk around to keep his legs from cramping up. He looked over to Raiden and saw he was still asleep. He snuck over to Raiden's bag and tried to take a can of food out without waking him up. Satisfied with a can of soup he went into the kitchen to see if it still had power. Miraculously it did. He started heating it up completely forgetting the fact that he was on guard duty.

Kiara's P.O.V

"What the hell is that?" Kiara asked no one in particular. She spotted the giant pink mass lying in front of the safe house door. It didn't appear to be in the way if she tried to open the door. But she had never seen something like this before so she didn't know if it was dead or not. She decided to chance it. "What the hell, you only live once, unless you're infected." She gave a slight chuckle at her own joke and proceeded to open the door. It opened with relative ease, and she made it inside. She went to lock it when she suddenly heard coughing coming from the kitchen. She unholstered her pistol and walked cautiously walked through the opening. She saw a figure standing in front of the stove. She couldn't tell if it was a zombie because of the poor lighting. So she crept up behind it and placed the pistol on the back of his head.

"Don't move" Kiara quietly demanded.

"Look if you wanted some soup you could have asked" the man replied with very little concern. "Besides you found anyway".

"What are you talking about?" Kiara asked.

"You're not Raiden?" The man asked. He still hasn't turned around and is now frozen in fear.

"Who is Raid-oomph" Kiara was struck from behind and fell to the ground. She slowly fell into unconsciousness.

When she started to wake up everything seemed blurry. "Where am I?" Kiara slurred.

"In a safe house" she heard a voice though still couldn't tell who it was. Slowly as she regained her sight she saw it was the man from earlier, before she was knocked out.

"What happened" Kiara demanded.

"He happened" the man pointed over to a chair where she saw another man who liked very similar to the one talking to her. The man in the chair seemed to be concentrating on something almost as if he were meditating. "He thought you were trying to kill me. You know because of the whole gun thing." The man joked with her. "I'm Collin. You?" he prompted her.

"Kiara, and sorry about earlier" she apologized.

"Don't worry about it, see I told you if we just talked to her it would work out" he gloated to the man in the chair. Either he didn't hear Collin or he just didn't care because he just sat there, unmoving. She looked back to Collin and raised an eyebrow. "That's just how he sleeps, don't ask me" Collin said.

"hmph…..weird" she whispered to herself.

"Hey Raiden you're on guard duty" Collin yelled then threw a empty can at him to wake him up. suprisingly he moved his head to the left just before the can hit him.

"I know" Raiden replied bluntly. "Kiara grab a gun off the table" he said as he pointed over to the table where he found the sub-machine guns. "You two get some sleep. we leave in the morning." he told them as he stood up and walked over to the door.

"I'll take the floor, you can have the couch" Collin told her.

"What makes you think i'm staying here?" She questioned.

"Were headed to the museum for evac so unless you have a better plan or you just feel like going it alone i would just stay with us" Raiden replied. "Besides you're lucky i'm letting you stay. One idiot is enough to deal with."

She thought about it for a second.

"Fine" she said laying down on the couch.

How did he get the jump on me. I've never been snuck up on like that even before the outbreak. can I even trust these two. For all i know they could be using me. Then again im using them to so i guess it balances out. plus Collin seems trustworthy. I don't like it but i need them to survive.

Jack's P.O.V

This was a horrible idea. Why am i helping these people? I don't know them. I'm afraid it might turn out like last time. We were so close to escape. Only I made it. He made sure that i would make it. But maybe this time will be diffren't, maybe we can make it, maybe we can escape. There's not so many zombies here as there was back then. then again there wasn't these... special infected. Maybe i should slip out while they sleep, I stayed with Collin so he would have someone to make sure he didn't do somthing stupid. Kiara can handle that. No. I'm not sure if we can trust her yet, plus I told him I would travel with him until we reached the museum. I always keep my word. Besides it's not like I have any other plan, I still need to escape. I have to keep my promise.
