A/N: I tried not to show favoritism when it comes to my stories but I've always wanted to make a zombie story. I also watched Dawn of the Dead for like the 50th time and I ended up typing more and more of this story. I wanted to put it in the horror section but I didn't think I could make it scary enough. I also want to comment that I have never seen an episode of Walking Dead or whatever. I wanted to but I don't have the time. ENJOY! :D

I looked around the room and felt my eyes water remembering how we got to this place. I had just found Dak after searching for a few days. He was camped out here but he wasn't looking so good. He told me he was bitten when I asked him what as wrong. He then did the bravest thing ever.

We had heard some noises and apparently me and Hannah had brought attention to ourselves and attracted a few zombies to the place. Dak gave me a hug and kissed Hannah on the forehead before he ran out the door, telling me to close and lock it as he ran away from the building. When the door was fully closed I could hear his screams in the distant. One of my closest friends was now gone, forever.

I had lost too many people in my life now. I wanted to give up multiple times in the past couple of weeks. I wanted to just walk outside and let the inevitable happen but everytime I would look down in my hands to see purple eyes staring back at me. I knew that I wasn't going to leave her all alone and scared. I was doing this for her. She had to have a better future than this.

I made my way to her bag to see that she only had a few jars of food left and about two or three diapers. Usually me or Dak would go out and get her stuff but now I couldn't just leave her here by herself. My stomach growled and I realized that I hadn't eaten for a while. Ever since Dak left I had been putting most of my attention on Hannah. We wouldn't be able to stay here much longer. I knew that once I left here I wasn't going to be able to come back.

I charged up my iPod and phone as I packed up me and Hannah's bag. I knew there wasn't really a point in keeping a phone since I wasn't going to ever have service again but I still kept it because it had music on it.

After it was done charging I would cut it off and put it in the bag to use when my iPod died. I grabbed the rest of the food and other things I could carry with me in the bag before I put the headphones on Hannah's head. She immediately smiled up at me which I returned.

She was truly like me and her mother with her love for music. She most likely didn't know a single word they were saying but I still wanted to have clean songs playing for her. I had a playlist that I kept on shuffle and loop just for her. I cut the playlist on and I watched as her smile widened before she closed her eyes.

I put my gun on my side in the holster before I threw the bag over my shoulder. I made sure Hannah was wrapped up before I picked her up, craddling her in my right arm as I walked to the door. I made sure that the iPod was secure on my arm band holder I had it in.

My heart began to race as I twisted the nob and stepped out. I walked up the little amount of steps and was now on street level. I had one hand on my gun and the other holding Hannah. She was always fairly quiet at this point with the music on. I knew she would be occupied for a while since I fed and changed her before I headed out. It wouldn't be long before she would be sleep.

I looked out into the street and could see the spot where the zombies caught Dak. There was a pool of blood but no sign of Dak anywhere. I clutched my gun tightly as I walked down the sidewalk, looking for any signs of danger. There were abandoned cars everywhere. A couple of them I had to walk around because they had flew up onto the curb.

I reached a 7-Eleven and decided to go inside to see if they had anything that wasn't spoiled. I cautiously walked up and down each isle to make sure they were clear. I knew if I stacked up on junk food I would be dead in a second. I needed to stay fit in order to survive.

I checked the store to see if they had a gun behind the counter, which they didn't. I also put a couple of, surprisingly still cold, water bottles and other vitamin juices. I made sure that they weren't too sugary for me and Hannah to drink. She probably would just end up liking the water anyway.

I made my way out of the store and continued down the sidewalk. I looked down at Hannah to see that she was sleeping. Normally, I would cut off the music but I wasn't taking any chances. If she cries she's bound to draw attention.

I looked up at the sound of an engine running. A couple of blocks ahead I could see a person driving a truck. They were fighting off zombies as they tried to stay on the road. Where I was at I knew that I was going to get caught by the zombies if I stood here. I had to think of some way to get around it.

I ran towards them. It had to be the dumbest but daring move ever. I made it to a car that was up against a building wall, checked inside, and climbed in when I saw that it was clear. I laid down on the back seat and began to pray that I would make it past this.

As the sounds of the engine and the screaches of the zombies got closer, I tried to calm myself so I wouldn't be heard. I held Hannah close to my chest when the truck got really close.

I tried not to make a sound as the truck crashed into the car I was laying in, causing me to be thrashed around, hitting my foot on the edge of the door. I quickly stuck my foot in part of the door to keep it from swinging open.

I closed my eyes as the zombies scrambled around the car, some even climbing over it. I waited until the engine of the truck could no longer be heard which seemed to go away quickly.

I slowly peered my head up and looked around. I didn't see anyone so I slowly made my way out of the car, Hannah close to my chest. I stumbled a little out of the car before I came to a stop and a pair of familiar, bloody, shoes came into view.

I reached for my gun at my side, taking it from it's holster as I slowly looked up at whoever was standing in front of me. I looked up and gasped when I saw that whoever this person was they didn't have a mid-section. I slowly stood, not making any sudden movements and soon became face to face with the person.

My eyes widened in shock as I looked at the familiar face. It was Dak. He was a zombie now. What I was wondering was why hadn't he attacked me yet. His whole body was bloody and he was a slight tint of green.

He stood there in front of me like he wanted to attack me but he was stopping himself. I didn't know what to do. He wasn't trying to kill me but I still raised my gun to his head. I didn't want to shoot him but he was putting me and Hannah at risk. Suddenly his eyes that were red and bloodshot became a normal brown.

"Shoot me, Carlos." He said as what looked like a tear fell from his face.

"Dak?" I asked him.

"Shoot me. I can't fight it off much longer. Shoot me in the head so it won't kill you." He demanded me.

"Dak, what ar-"

"SHOOT ME NOW!" He screamed before his scream turned into a zombiefied groan and his eyes went back red.

I closed my eyes as I pulled the trigger. The sound echoing in the distance before the air was filled with the sound of his body hitting the ground. I opened my eyes and he was laying on the ground in front of me.

I wiped a little of his blood that got on my face off. I wiped my face again when I saw that my shirt was more wet than it should be.

That's when I realized that I had been crying. I was taken out of my sudden daze when I heard crying.

I looked down to see that Hannah was crying and her face was nearly turning red from it. I immediately tried to shush her before she was heard by something else. I realized that the headphones had came off and quickly put them back on before looking around to see if anyone heard her.

I turned around to see that the truck that came past had stopped not too far away and the zombies that were chasing after it were now looking at me. I quickly turned around and ran with all of my might away from them.

A/N: I know what you're thinking. You hate me right about now for a somewhat cliffhanger on the second chapter. I just couldn't help it. Also the whole Dak talking thing will be explained in the later chapters. One of my friends read it and was completely confused as to why he was talking. They know why now though and completely understood. So bare with me and the explanation will be in the next chapter or the one after that...probably the next one. Also one of my friends on here mentioned something about Alexandria Genesis and to be honest I had no idea what that was until now LOL. REVIEW PLEASE! :D
