4 Years Later

That stupid dream again. I need to keep the past in the past. 4 Years....I would be graduating College if not for this dumb shit. I'm taller now, and my hair is way longer. Besides That I have no idea what I look like. I started heading East 2 years ago. I remember telling them to do the same as me 4 years ago, if along the way I meet them. I don't know honestly, if they've become dead I'll have to kill them. If by some miraculous chance they made it to Dad and I's hide out, I don't know what to tell them.

I do know that I need to make a pitstop. I'm low on just about everything for that so called "journey" to the old place. I start heading to the small market on the road to the way and notice a group. Yeah a group, not of Geeks but of actual people. The wolf pups are lining my left and right 3 on each side 6 in total. I saved them from their Alpha who had gotten over ran by Geeks. Geeks are what I'm calling the dead people, they are hunched and walk around like idiots also to slow to really do any damage but are surprisingly strong.  In the past 4 years I've learned age doesn't matter for this virus. You get it with a scratch or any blood to blood contact. If you're bit, and you can cut off the limb fast enough, almost upon getting bit, you'll survive, you'll be without the limb but you'll be alive. They track based on noise and smell. Hints why the wolves are covered in Geek blood and why I have Geek jewelry aka a band of Geek ears around my neck. It's enough with the Wolves smelling it but when they go off to hunt or we break to cover more ground, The geeks think I'm one of them but the dogs can tell which geek is me. Animals aren't prone to live  or come back after being bitten, I chalk it up to force of bite and heaviness of a geek breaking bones upon impact. They can attack the geeks by bite even eat them but they won't turn, I haven't been hungry enough to try that out yet.


I wait along the bushes watching the group from far away when I feel Sasha flip and lung with out second thought I snap my fingers and grab for my knife. Low and behold a memorable pair of emerald green eyes are looking right at me with a gun pointed at me. I grin and stand up, the wolves sit and keeps eyes on me.
