I closed my eyes and waited, I knew a small gunshot wouldn't do any damage but they had to get out. I couldn't hear the car start yet so I just waited; these boneys would not hurt them. They would not hurt my family, only me. It's not as if I hadn't been dead before? I knew however that this time they would not let my corpse wake back up, this time the boneys would no doubt end me.

As I waited in silence, I kept my eyes closed at let the dark sky cloud any hope of light be seen through the eyelids. I felt my heartbeat; I savored it since I knew I would lose it soon. With my luck it would be in the belly of a starving boney soon enough, I tried to wipe that thought from my mind.

'BANG!' My eyes swung open and I turned around quickly to be sure Julie would not attack them. They had to get away, if they fired a weapon the boneys would go to them.

'BANG!' I met Julie's eyes she was just as shocked as I was. 'BANG, BANG!' I looked around, the night sky made it that much more difficult to find the culprit. 'BANG!' I saw a small flicker from the gun and the boney closest to me fell to the ground.

One by one they fell down, each not quite knowing what was happening. I ran back to the car, shielding myself from the gunfire, clearly we were being saved but I had no idea who it was. I grabbed Julie and hugged her tight, we quickly pulled apart and raised our weapons prepared to take out the rest of the boneys. However they were already dead.

"Who was that?" Nora panted as she came up closer to us.

"I'm not sure; David?"

"Not a clue sorry guys. But I guess we'll find out soon."

As if on cue, a group of five made their way closer to us.

"Well looks like you guys ended up in a bit of a pickle huh?" I recognized that voice.

"Anna?" One figure stopped and raised her gun, I knew it was her, I knew that voice.

"Who the hell are you?"

I took a step forward, Julie tried to hold me back but I nodded that it was alright. I walked further out and past the boneys. A flashlight burst into my eyes and I felt the blindness of it take over for a moment.

"No. You're dead." She walked up closer, I still couldn't see her face from the flashlight but I knew she was near.

"You're dead, I saw it! Who the hell are you!?"

I reached out my hand and lowered the flashlight, I knew there was a slight chance that she would shoot me then but I didn't care. As my eyes focused I saw her. Blonde hair up in a ponytail, blue eyes that matched mine perfectly. A t-shirt and jeans and a rather large gun that still focused on me.

"Anna" I whispered.

"Are you a corpse?" I shook my head.

"Are you who I think you are?" I nodded.

"What happened?" I shrugged and could feel Julie roll her eyes behind me.

"It's a long story."

"Okay well let's get out of here at least."

She told us to follow her and made her way back to their car, we drove back and I couldn't contain my anticipation to talk to my sister. I tried to hide it but I was too excited to see that she was alive.

When we arrived back at the city we were escorted back to the garage. With the lights I could get a better look at who came to our rescue. There was a small boy who couldn't have been more than thirteen with a gun half his size. Another man next to him was twice his size somewhere in his late twenties he was an intimidating looking person and I tried not to look him in the eyes. There was another man about my size with blonde hair. There was a girl not much older than the young boy and looked a bit fierce and seemed to scowl at me. Anna walked up and greeted us in her own way.

"Well talk, explain what happened because the last time I saw you, you were dead."

I tried to think back into my memories; I couldn't remember that I thought I never made it to her. I was nervous to say this but I started with the biggest fact.

"I was dead." Gun began to rise up. "I'm not anymore, the cure-"

"The cure doesn't exist, Robbie. Don't be stupid." I was thrown off by this, Denver had embraced that there was a cure, so did Idaho.

"It does Anna, I've seen it. We started it." Julie speaks up

Anna scowls at her. "Anna please you said you saw me dead right? Do I look dead to you?" I took out a knife and scraped it against my arm waiting as a bead of blood trickled down my arm. A couple of the others lowered their guns and motioned closer to get a better look.

"Corpses don't bleed Anna; I was cured. Something happened with Julie and I. People started coming back to life, and they still are."

She scowls a bit longer and contemplates this. Then she takes a few steps closer and grabs hold of my arm. She twists it and looks at it, glancing up at me to make sure I don't do anything. She is almost as paranoid as Julie's father.

"Fine so as long as you're here you're going to be put under guard okay? I still don't completely believe that you won't try to eat me again and I know that everyone else here feels the same way. I hesitantly nod and we move out of the garage. They walk us through the city, since this is the first time we have been actually in the city; it feels nice to take in the scenery. I hold Julie's hand and can tell from looking at her and Nora that they are worried. We arrive at an apartment and Anna simply tells us that she'll be back tomorrow. They leave someone to guard the door who does not seem to want to talk with us so we simply go to sleep.
