-one month later-

Tyler and I have been walking for like, ever. It's never ending. I have no clue as to where we're going. I keep asking to stop but he just glares at me and makes me keep walking. I feel like he's mad at me or something, but I didn't do anything. I just keep quiet and trudge along close behind him.

We've had some close calls here and there with Walkers. But we manage to stay safe and alive.
I still am sleep deprived and hungry. I'm tired and worn out.

I feel bad for Tyler though. He seems so sad and tired. He's been trying so hard to keep us both alive and well. I keep trying to talk to him, make him tell me What's wrong; but he always says he's fine and for me to just keep quiet. Sometimes I get annoyed with him, because It's quite obvious that none of us are 'Okay' in a world like this. At least I'm not. I lost my mom because she thought I was dead. So It's basically, my fault that she's dead. I also lost my dad, and now thinking about it, that's my fault too. He was looking for me the day it all happened. He got bit because of me, he died because of me. I feel empty inside as I realize It's my fault they're both gone. If it weren't for me they'd both probably still be alive. All four of us could be a family still, and we could've all survived together.

-now-

I look up from the ground, and bump right into Tyler. I see he's looking at something. I glance over to the direction he's looking in and can't believe my eyes. I see three people who are surrounded by, Walkers. There are just too many to count though. I feel a lump form in my throat as they start to back up scared for their lives.

"Tyler! We have to help them!"

"Skai no, there's too many biters we'll just risk our lives!"

"Tyler, we can't just stand here watching as they get torn apart!" And with that I take off. I run as fast as I can over to the people. I hear Tyler yelling after me but I ignore him and keep running.
When I reach the three people, I run up to a few Walkers and stab them in the head.
And what I do next, I have no idea what got into me to do this, but I just went along with what my heart told me to do; and did it.

"HEY WALKERS! OVER HERE, FRESH MEAT! come and get it!" I smiled and jumped around to get there attention.

When the Walkers turned their attention to me I took off. I ran and ran. I was running so fast I had no clue what sparked this new energy I had to just yell and run, but I did. I just kept running and yelling.
I turned my head to see the three people in amazement. But they quickly snapped out of their daze and started shooting at the Walkers. I heard Tyler yell, laughing at me.

"Your one crazy son of a bitch Skai!" I laughed at what he said, but kept running.

I turned my head to the open woods and thought for a moment. What the hell am I doing?! Where am I gonna go now!? I had no answers. I panicked. I slowed my run to a jog. I heard them all yell after me. Along with my brother, the three people were shooting and yelling for me to run. I spun around, now jogging backwards, and saw most of the Walkers were on the ground, shot. Still, there were at least 5 or 7 still after me. I quickly stopped in my tracks and glared at the Walkers. I waited for the right moment; and started stabbing as many as I could.

There were now 3 Walkers left. I attempted to stab one of them, when I felt something grab my arm. I let out a scream and dropped my stick. I turned to see a male Walker grabbing my arm, trying to bite it. Then the 2 Walkers left had caught up to me, and were too, trying to eat me. They were all surrounding me and I panicked again. I fell to the ground trying to fight off the Walker grasping my arm. The other Walker had my leg; and the one left was trying to grab at me as well. I heard faint yelling, and I heard Tyler and the three people running to help me. When my energy was wearing out I thought this was it.
