We were half way through the day when we were stopped, surrounded by a swarm of zombies, their growls being the only thing we could hear all around us.

"On your left 10k!" Delilah yelled as she shot another arrow through the head of two zombies, slicing through their heads almost like it were a cake.

The blue baby that was being held in Murphy's arms was the source of this swarm, the cries that came from her mouth has attracted them all to us, "I'm running low on arrows." she said, hoping it wasn't too quiet for the boy behind me to hear.

"Delilah!" her name was yelled, my head turned trying to find Murphy, but she hadn't spotted him before noticing the baby flying towards her, dropping the bow she jumped high enough to be able to catch the crying blueberry.

Suddenly all z's turned towards me and 10k, "Del I'm running out of nuts and bolts, you need to run." He said, turning to look back at the brunette, and that's what she did, running into the yellow abandoned school bus the baby clutched in her arms tightly, closing the doors before the swarm of zombies came running in behind them, within the clutch of her arms the baby cooed and giggled, almost like she was finding some enjoyment of this chase.

It wasn't until she turned around to look at the bus seats that her heart had started to race, on the bus were around a dozen fake presidents. Holding the baby closer to her she started to panic, banging against the door that she had closed had now locked Delilah within the bus.

Their teeth grinding against another, grunts and growls was all that could be heard, and the screams of the baby got louder.

"Guys! Guys please! Let me out!" She screamed, almost louder than the babies whales, the zombies were getting close enough that the potent moulding smell, the rotting of their skin was traveling through her nose.

"I swear if you guys let me get killed by a bunch of presidents I will come back and haunt you all!" She cried out, banging against the door, the baby had been no help during this time, and the fact that 10k had her dagger meant she had no way of defending myself.

Delilah stood, coddling the baby as she thought this was it, Like everyday, this was the moment she was going to be killed. That was until she fell flat on her ass, Warren and Addy had opened the door after hearing her screams for help, the breathe she had been holding escaped from her lungs as she shot up, hugging my sister.
