My Rule

Chapter 1

"SHIT!"

Was all I could say before I took off running. I heard walkers and ran away fast. My legs were tired from running all day. I'm surprised I'm not used to it by now. It's been 5 years I've been doing this, alone.

I was separated from my sister's and my parents. I know my mom is dead,but I'm still not sure about the others. I keep wishing that someday I will find them.

I sprinted fast getting away from the flesh-eating bastards. I hated them. I hated them so much. They took my family away. I have killed more than I ever had expected to in my life. I ran faster because they were gaining on me. I hid behind a tree and shot them down. I turned around and slid down the tree rubbing my sore ankle. It wasn't broken, but I'm sure it was going to be badly bruised. I lifted up my jeans and saw some minor bruises. I sighed and then heard a yell. "HEY!" Are you so cereal right now?!

I got back up and started sprinting again. But I felt the people chase me on my tail. I dodged some trees and fell into them a couple times. I looked back and saw a man with a crossbow and a woman with a gun. I look ahead and then bump into a tree and fall back. I kept falling down hitting every bone in my body. I kept falling then eventually stopped once I grabbed hold of the earth. The people couldn't see me and just tried to keep quiet. They retreated soon.

I slowly got up holding my breath and lifting up my jeans and saw my darkly bruised ankle. I tried to touch it and felt pain shoot through my body. "AGGH!" I screamed. I quickly covered my mouth and saw the people in front of me running to me armed. I rolled over and started climbing up. I start to cry a little because of the pain in my ankle. I wasn't going so fast, but I was trying my hardest. Then the man said for me to stop and grabbed me.

I kicked and screamed and he tried to calm me down. "Hey hey! It's okay! I'm going to help you!" He said. "Just kill me! Just kill me!" I yelled. "I'm not going to kill you now calm down!" I stopped squirming and just laid down. He looked at my ankle and touched it. "OOWW!!" I yelled with tears flowing down my cheeks.

He soothed me and screamed, "CAROL! COME HERE!" I saw the woman come and she bent down saying, " Honey we weren't trying to chase you we wanted to help you." She was kind of pretty. "Sorry, I-I've just been so used to this for 5 years now." I said. The man took some twigs and some long pieces of grass and took my ankle and wrapped it in a cast.

"Okay, my name is Daryl, hers is Carol. We're going to take you back to our camp, okay. It's safe, and warm there." I nodded and said my name was Lilly. They helped me up, and Daryl carried me to their car. I napped in the car, but my gun was at my side just in case.
