So, here is chapter two, I hope you like it. It would be nice if you could review and tell me how you like the story so far or a few tips. Thanks for reading my story! :)

''You'r going anywhere kid!''. Said the uniformed man while pulling me back 'shit!shiit!SHIIT!' I thought in desperate and lashed about ''Don't fucking touch me!'' But it seemed useless.

*Bang*

A shoot of a gun and then silence...

The dead body of the soldier fell back in his chair, while blood was flowing out of a hole in his head, covering the floor.

I turned around,''Luke?!'', just to see my brother, lowering the gun with shaking hands. He first glanced to the dead body, then to me and finally to the gun in his hands, with widened eyes.

'Where did he get the gun?' I thought, my view then slipped to the belt of the soldier, the holster was empty, he must have took it when the soldier and I were distructed by each other.

Luke dropped the gun, went towards me and embaraced me.

I returned it hesitantly ''Are you okay?'' he asked with a low, soft voice and hold me tighter to his chest ''I'm fine, what about you?'' I took one step back to look at him.

His red bandana, which hold the most of his brown strands out of his face, was soaked in sweat and the crease between his brows seemed deeper than usual.

His deep-blue eyes glowed like always, in contrast to his light bronzed skin.

''I'm okay, just feeling a little sick...let's get outta here!'' He said and with that he grabbed the gun from the floor, put it in his belt and we went for the door, which was wide opened.

It was not the first time for him to kill someone, it's just hard for him to deal with it.

But if it saves a person he loves and cares about, he never hesitated to do it.

For me, it's not like that. I can just kill someone and forget it, I just push the feeling of guilt away, that's how I work.

I know it's not the right way to deal with it , but in a world like this you have no other choice.

It was still raining, when we left the office and went to the steelen gate.

I put the key into the keyhole, turned it and a *click* followed.

Luke and I pushed the gate open and stepped out to the low lighted streets.

Then we quickly hid in a dark alley, where we leaned against the cold walls and took a few breathes of relief.

''So the plan is, that we walk to our hideout, you know where dad took us always for training''Luke said and I remembered the past days, when Luke and I had to shoot cans and other useless stuff, which were ten or 15 meters far away from us.

Luke was always the best of us, while me beeing pretty good with a bow, but at least my favorite weapon was always the tomahawk.

I trained every single minute with that thing, to cast it exactly in my aim...''Charly?'' Luke interrupted my thoughts and gave me a curious glance,''Yes, of course, how could I forget!'' I smiled at the memories, which came up in my head, ''Fine, so when we got our weapons, we have to keep going west, to the Holland Tunnel. The quarantenezone ends near there and that's our way out.''

I nodded ''Alright, let's do this, I'm totally ready, what are we waiting for?'' I said with a shaky voice, 'maaan Charly, calm down!' I thought.

Luke looked at me, ''Hey, you don't have to be scared, just stay calm, we gonna make it out in one piece, I promise. As long as we're together, nothing bad is gonna happen, trust me!'' He said with his deep, soft voice.

Of course I trusted him, but you never know. This world is capricious, danger is hidden in every shadow and mostly the unespectable things happen and you can't do anything against it.

Anyway, I gave him a smile,''Well, let's go Lucky Luke!''.

He made a grimace at that, I chuckled and we left the dark alley.

After an hour, of crossing the low lighted streets, always covered by the darkness, we made our way to our secret hideout.

The two of us climed through a cellarwindow into the building.

It was colder down here than outside and I couldn't even see my hand before my eyes.

I grabbed Lukes hand, not to lose him in the darkness, but it also gave me safety.

''Mhh, the generator is as usual in the next room, but I have no idea if it's gonna work.'' Luke said

''I'm just hoping we're not getting a displeasing suprice.'' I muttered . We made our way along the wall and slowly to the wooden door. Luke opened the door slowly and a wave of an unbearable smell came out of the room. I gagged on that smell and keept my nose shut with my hand .

Luke did the same and we walked into the room.

Again, we made our way along the wall, the generator had to be in the left corner of the room and we took every step careful.

Finally we got to the generator and Luke tried to turn it on but nothing, it seemed broken. ''Shit!'' Luke cursed, ''What are we gonna do now?Do you still have your lighter?'' I asked.

''Yeah, always.'' He put it out and turned it on. The small flame dispensed enough light to fill the whole room, ''Ohh, gross!'' I cried out.

We could see now the cause of the bad smell. A liveless, molding body of a clicker was lying on the floor.

''Damn, I hope there are no spores around, let's just take our stuff and get outta here!'' With that he gave me the lighter, went to the other side of the room and began to knock against the wooden planks of the floor.

While he was searching for our stuff, I examinated the dead body. Its whole head was covered with the fungus, black veins went along its throat and up to his face, where a yellow liquid flew out of its mouth.

I looked disgustedly away, 'That's not the last one I gonna see in my life.' I thought bitterly. ''Bingoo!'' Luke shouted out, while pulling a wooden plank out of the floor. He grabbed a bag out of the hole with two hands.

I walked to him, while he emptied the whole bag. There were two gasmasks, also two flashlights, a revolver, a machete, a pistol, a shotgun, Lukes favorite weapon by the way, my bow, a few arrows and my tomahawk, 'hell yeah!'.

Luke took one gasmask, one flashlight, the revolver, the machete and the shotgun and I took the rest.

When we were finish equipped, we turned our flashlights on and were ready to go.

''So,...'', I froze..

*Click**Click**Click*

The two of us turned our heads to the cause of the noise. Everything went fast, the clicker tackled my brother to the ground and tried, with its whole weight on Luke, to bite him. But Luke hold it as good as he could away from his flesh.''Fuck, Char...!''

*smack*

My tomahawk landed in the head of the clicker and a swall of yellow juice flitted in the face of my brother. The now total liveless body of the clicker lied for a few seconds on my brother and he dropped it from his chest.''Are you okay?''I asked worried and examinated his appearance.

He wore his grey jeans, a blue tanktop and a black hoddie over it.

Luke stood up and wipped the yellow liquid, with his sleeve, out of his face, ''Yeah, I'm fine. Gross, smells like shit...but I'm ok.'' He gave me a grin and I could see his dimples on his cheeks.

I grinned back and pulled my tomahawk out of the clickers head, put it in my belt.

I turned my face to Luke,''Let's go, are you ready?'' He asked,''Always!'' I gave back and we went for the door.

We hurried to the staircase of the building and ran the staires up to the roof, always carful not to make too much and loud noises. We got to the final door which led to the roof, opened it and stepped out.

It was still raining but lower than before. We made our way across the roofs of New York and after a while I could finally see the fence of the zone. The Maingate was closed and there were patrols...Everywhere.

'How the hell, are we supposed to get out with all the soldiers everywhere?' and as if Luke could hear my thoughts he said, ''I have an idea, we walk down, we hide, wait for the right moment and jump in the back of one of their trucks. When the next shift starts, they gonna drive with their trucks out of the zone to patrol along the fence. And then we think what happens next, okay?'' I thought a moment about his plan, 'it's risky, but possible!', ''Alright, let's do this!'' I gave back and the two of us hurried down through the staircase.

We finally got to the last floor and sneaked out of the building.

Always hidden in the darkness, we made our way near the trucks.

To get in one of these we had to cross a light cone, so we had to risk to be seen.

The two of us waited a while since we thought it was save to go.

So we ran over the street and jumped as quiet as possible into one of the trucks and waited a few minutes for the alarm, while holding our breathes, but nothing happened.

I let out a sigh of relief, looked to Luke and his face told me It isn't over yet! I sighed again.

We waited an half hour in silence and then two soldiers finally got into the truck. ''Man I hate night shifts!'' The one soldier to the other, while he was yawning, ''Me either, I couldn't sleep the whole day, the baby was always crying, I wonder where they take that energy to cry that much.'' The other soldier said, rubbing his eyes. The first one laught at that and started the motor, ''You're asking the wrong one buddy.'' A few minutes passed and we got finally to the gate, where other soldiers stood. The gate opened and we got through.

Luke took a peek out of the truck. ''Time for us to jump out.'' He whispered and grabbed my hand. ''Ready?'' He asked expectant. I nodded ''Always!''.

We took both a deep breath, jumped out of the truck and landed on the cold wet street.

Jumped up on our feet and were about to go, but a noise behind us took our attention.

The truck turned and drove towards us, while the flood lights blinded us.''Shit!Run!'' Luke shouted and we ran.

I couldn't remember when I ever ran that fast before, but the adrenaline in our veins pushed us forward.

We hurried around a housecorner, out of the gleam from the flood lights, but the truck was still behind us.

A few blocks further, we could finally see the Holland Tunnel.

We ran into the tunnel , hid behind a car, which still stood here from the time before the outbreak and waited for our haunters.

The flood lights gleamed between the cars, the motor turned off and we could hear cardoors opened and smashed close.

''Are you sure they are here, it doesn't seem like.'' said the one soldier arguable and walked between the cars while slipping his flashlight over them.''Yes, I saw them running in here, they must be close!'' gave the other soldier back, slipping his flashlight in our direction.

We only made us smaller behind the car and waited for the gleam to go over us.

After a few minutes, the soldiers started to come in our direction, Luke gave me a desperate glance and I looked around for something helpful 'Give me something, give me something...yes! A stone!'

I thought reliefed and took the stone, swung my arm back and casted it with all my force away from us. A few secondes passed and I could hear a quiet *plong*, far away from our hideout ''There! Did you hear that?'' the first soldier shouted, while running to the direction from where the noise came, followed by the other soldier. ''Yeah! Let's get them!'' While they were busy with the stone, we ran to the truck climed into the driver cabine and Luke started the motor. We could see that the soldiers ran with surprised faces back , starting to shoot, but they came too late, Luke stepped on the gas and the truck speeded forward between the cars along the street. We lost the soldiers out of view and faced the exit of the tunnel, which appeared in front of us.''Maan that was close, but hey, we did it!'' Luke said, turned his face to me, gave me a grin and looked back to the street.

We could see the sun rising behind the buildings, which casted long shadows, when we left the tunnel. ''Yeah, we did it!'' I muttered, more to myself than to him and smiled.
