Running Alive

Chapter 1.2

The morning came...

Ghiel: Guys, wake up! C'mon get up! Hurry!

Ghiel's the first one to wake up and she is waking up her friends because she heard a bunch of eaters are going to them. Joyce went to them and gave them each a Swiss knife

Joyce: I found those on my sleeping bag. I'm so sleepy I didn't get to give it you last night.

Then they packed up and searched for a village. When they found one, they went inside the village and there is so many scattered bodies on the road. Blood is everywhere and the smell of decaying flesh is making them want to vomit. When they passed by a church, the bell on top of it rang...

Sandra: Who would do that if someone's outside? Who sounded that bell?

Julia: Whoever that is, he's so done when I see him.

Eaters: Urrgghhh!!!!

Joyce: Julia! Behind you!

An eater almost got her but Ghiel stabbed its head before it could touch Julia.

Sandra: That was a close call.

They tried to escape by running through a narrow road without some eaters seeing them.

Joyce: It's hopeless! we're all gonna die. We're not gonna make it if we walk through that hoarde.

Julia: You just gave me an idea.

She searched for a nearby walker and she cut off the mouth. She brought it to the group and they panicked...

Ghiel: Just what do you think you're doing? If you wanna live, get that thing out of here before it devours us!

Julia: No ... We can get through that hoarde... If we smell like them.

She stabbed its head and ripped the body open with her knife.

Sandra: Oh, shit...

Ghiel: I get it. We're gonna rub their blood on our bodies and pretend we're like them.

Julia: Exactly.

Joyce: There's no way I'm gonna get that on my body... Any ideas better than this.

Sandra: *sarcastically speaking* Well,yes there is. Let's run through the hoarde with our chance of living is on the line... OR rub this thing on us and there' a 99% chance that we'll still live.

Julia: Don't worry, Joyce, we'll protect each other.

Ghiel: Yeah... So rub this now.

Joyce sighed and she rubbed it all over her body. All of them was finished and they're ready to go through the most wicked and dangerous idea of Julia, going through the hoarde...

Ghiel: Walk slowly and keep silent. we don't want them chasing us. We don't know what will happen if we make a single mistake.

They walked slowly and silently through the hoarde. Everyone was nervous. Then Joyce got paranoid and...

Sandra: Joyce, calm down...

Joyce: CALM DOWN?! HOW CAN I WITH THESE THINGS ARE AROUND US?!

She just shouted and some eaters noticed them and went to their direction.

Ghiel: RUN!!!

They ran and Ghiel slipped and Joyce didn't help her and when Joyce got to Julia and Sandra is...

Julia: Oh no!!! Where is Ghiel?!

Joyce: *points to the direction where Ghiel is*

Sandra: What the hell, Joyce?! Wh didn't you help her?!

Sandra ran to Ghiel, helped her and together, they fought the eaters that get in their way.When they reached Julia and Joyce...

Julia: Ghiel, are you okay?!

Ghiel is just  silent. Then she opened her knife and pointed it towards Joyce's neck and cornered her to a tree...

Julia: *nervously speaking* Woah, woah, woah... Ghiel, there's no need for that.

Ghiel: Stay out of this, Julz...

Joyce: What did I do?

Ghiel: You already forgot?! You know there's this guy who left me on the verge of death a while ago. Then Sandra, risked her life to save me. Well, you know who that person is? That's you...

Joyce: C'mon Ghiel! I'm sorry... I want to help you but fear got into me and I didn't get to help you and just ran away... I'm sorry... Never should've done that in the first place...

Sandra: What has been done is done. C'mon Ghiel, put the knife down. She's just afraid that's all.

Ghiel sighed heavily and decided to put the knife down. They're just silent...

Ghiel: Hey Joyce... uhh I'm sorry it's just that I'm stressed and nervous that's all.

Joyce: Yeah, it's okay. We all had a long day... 

Then they continued searching the village and when they found nothing, they went through the woods and continued searching for a new place.
