The man walked up to me and asked me to say something. I said a hoarse hello and he placed his gun back in the holster. How long has it been since I've spoken? I started to pet his horse. He looked me up and down, and I noticed he was an Officer. The man had little facial hair that looked to be freshly shaven. There wasn't much to distinguish him with, he was wearing a uniform and a hat to match, that was about it. It was quiet for some time. It seemed like hours and I have to be honest; I'm not really tough when dealing with people.
"Who are you?" he asked. I jumped at the sudden words. Considering he's an Officer there's nothing wrong with trusting him. Right?
"My name is Avis. Who are you?" I replied.
"Officer Rick Grimes. Are you okay?" I nodded. He looked like he maybe he had a shower. Lucky bastard.
"Do you know how this happened?" I asked.
"No, I don't." he replied. Again, quiet. Moans of those things could be heard and we both were startled and looked around.
"Hurry, get on!" Officer Grimes held his hand out and I grabbed it and jumped onto the back of the saddle, ungracefully. How do people do this in the movies? Officer Grimes had a huge bag of guns strapped onto his back; it was difficult trying to hold on. What was he planning on doing with these? As he guided the horse down one of the messy streets we finally slowed down. There was a noise up above and we both looked up. It was a helicopter! Officer Grimes guided the horse down the street again, to try and follow the helicopter. He tried to turn onto the next street, but there was a herd of those things once again. The horse was frightened and stood on its hind legs. I started to slip but grabbed tightly onto Officer Grimes.
Luckily Officer Grimes lead the horse back down the street we came from to get away from those things. Unfortunately we ran into more and tried to turn around, but they were surrounding us. The horse was so frightened we fell off. I hit the ground hard along with Officer Grimes. This was it, this was the day I become one of them. I was scared, no, beyond scared, I was terrified. I looked over at Officer Grimes, he was also scared. I noticed a tank was right next to us and I pushed him underneath. We crawled trying to get to the other side, but those things figured out we were under the tank. How can something dead be so smart? Luckily Officer Grimes had a gun and started shooting them in the head, from every direction.
There was no way out. Be bitten, die, and become one of them? So not on my list of things to do. There was the option to opt out. So soon though? I haven't been to Paris or Russia or Antarctica. Officer Grimes and I looked at each other, then the gun. Tears were forming in my eyes. Those things kept crawling and clawing their way towards us. If only we had an escape.
"Lori. Carl. I'm sorry," I guess he's going. Before he could shoot I saw that there was an opening to the tank. I pushed the gun away from his head and yank myself into the tank, dragging Officer Grimes with me. He then shut the latch to the door. We both kicked away from the door, still hearing moans from outside. That noise will forever be terrifying in my dreams. There was a man laying up right against the wall of the tank. Officer Grimes noticed him moving and started to freak but quickly shot him in the head. The gun shot noise bounced off the walls and rang in my ears. It was the worst noise ever, second next to the moans and groans. Officer Grimes crawled away from the man, in pain from the bang, and saw that there was another way out of the tank. He stood up and looked through the hole. He then proceeded to shut it and he fell back down across from me, shocked I guess.
"We're surrounded." He said panting. His voice was muffled from the gun shot, but still audible. The pounding was still coming from everywhere. Is this it? Is this the end of the end? There was a crackling noise coming from the C.B radio. (A/N: is that what they call it?) Was I going crazy? How? What? I was a lost for words. No, Officer Grimes had noticed it also.
"Hey." the voice said, it was a man. That voice, it...it sounds familiar. "Hey idiots. Yeah, you two in the tank. Comfy in there?"
