Chapter 5
'Well I am done packing, oh and by the way you can call me Abby' said Abbigail in a slightly enthused voice. She told us to watch out for the gangs because if we came across they would probably do worse then the zombies. She gave us some ammo and told us to get moving before the sunset, for when that happens the gang run a bloody competition to hunt out as many survivors and loot. I told her that two members of our group were probably at the rendezvous point already', I also said that they saw a big horde coming. I walkie-talkie the guys back and ask them how their condition was, they said we pretty much have about a hour and a half before the horde gets here, and they were already fixing up the vehicle. They told me they got a brief encounter with the horde and ran as fast as they could.
I looked at Abby and Noa with my most firm look and told them if we ran into any gang members they either bag for mercy or die because we couldn't take on the zombie horde, and the whole gang team as well. We raced out of the motel and ran as fast as we could to the rendezvous point. During that time Abby asked tons of questions about us and I have to admit I was kindda getting annoyed, but I guess I couldn't blame her since she might have been alone for too long. 'Sorry Ronald' she said in a sad tone before returning to her cold and emotionless state. I told her it was ok to ask questions since she probably had no friends in the zombie world.
She told me that she was never a popular girl even before the world when down in crap. She had always wanted to achieve greatness in her studies and go to the best universities the world could offer, such as Harvard but her trip was cut short when all this government bull shit surfaced. Her mother had told her to pursue her dreams but that was before she turned and just wanted to kill her, desperate for survival she had to kill her. I looked at her and she was probably at least 14, but killing your own mother was just sad.
In a distance we heard some motorcycles approaching us and laughing followed by screaming and shouting. We hid in an alleyway, but what we saw was terrible the gang raiders were dragging the survivors on the ground tied to ropes and being pulled by their motorcycles. I was about to rush out and shoot the gang members and also try to save those poor souls, but Abby held me and Noa back saying that it was too late. Noa asked Abby what would happen to those survivors, Abby didn't have the courage to answer. 'They are not only looters are they Abby they are also cannibals aren't they?' She looked up at me now trying to hold back tears. 'Ronald I had a brother the gangs found him and I tried to rescue him, but when I got to the gang…' she didn't continue but I knew what she was about to say. 'They murdered your brother didn't they?' she nodded and tried harder to hold back those tears more but we stopped talking as soon as the gang members came close.
One of the members must have heard Abby's one of use talking because he came checking around and he was really close on finding us but we moved as back as we could and stuck to the wall. I told her that what happened was the past and we had to keep moving and get to the rendezvous point before the horde arrived. I also told her that if the gang members were still here when the zombies arrived, Abby would get her revenge since the zombies would kill them.
