The Beginning Book 1

Chapter 6: Friends?

I woke up next to my dad in a strange room that was lit up by candles. There was a African American man with a boy. He was talking to my dad about his wound and asking if he got bit.

Next thing I remember is a knife up against my neck. Then the guy warning us about not pulling anything on them cause if we did he would kill us. Then he untied us.

My dad slowly made his way down stairs and I followed behind him very cautious about this house and the people. When we got downstairs my dad went over to where the man and the boy were. "Sorry I never full introduced myself. My name is Morgan and this is my son Duane." Said the man who name was Morgan.

My dad responded, "My name is Rick and the is my daughter Jessica but she likes to be called Jess." As we sat down at the table they were at I gave my dad a look. I didn't want him to tell him our names cause they could know people who could kill us. I mean there nice people but you can never trust anybody anymore.

They gave us some of the food they were eating, which I thought was nice. After we were done eating we went out into the living room to where we were going to be sleeping. My dad and Morgan started to talk until we heard a car alarm going off. Morgan said, " One of those geeks must of bumped into a car." My dad and I looked out of the boarded up window to see some of the walkers gathering around the sound.

Duane got really scared because I think he saw someone that he remembered so he ran over to where he was sleeping. His dad followed him and put Duane's face in a pillow so we could not hear him crying and so we didn't make any loud noises for the walkers to hear.

My dad and I saw what we think Duane saw. It was a women. Maybe in her early 30's in what looked like pajamas. My dad looked through the peephole. He suddenly then back away from the door and door handle started to rattle. Once the door handle stopped rattling Morgan told us who the lady was. She was apparently Morgan's wife/Duane's mom.

I felt bad for the kid if I had lost my mom I would be sad; even though I'm not her favorite. I laid down next to my dad and went to sleep.

The next morning my dad said that we should go to the police station. So we could go get some weapons. We started to make our way to the police station when we ran into a walker. The walker was right outside the house we were staying at. We let my dad take it down, but when he did he got out of breath.

When we were about half way there we saw four walkers. I told them that I could take them. So I slowly made my way over to where they were. I did a little whistle to get there attention. One of them slowly made there way over to me. So I used my bow to hit it in the head.

The second one came over to me a little faster. So I went around it stabbed it in the head with the knife from my back pocket. I took out my knife from the walkers head and stabbed the walker that was coming toward me from behind. The last one I had to be a little creative. So I kick it so it fell to the ground, and I got a rock and smashed its head in.

When I was done I looked over to where my dad, Morgan, and Duane were. They just looked at me in aw. I spoke up and said, "What?"
"I just didn't know you could do that Jess." Said my dad with a smile on his face. I laughed at his comment and we continued are way to the police station.

10 minutes later

We finale got to the police station. My dad went to the showers, and Morgan said how there was no more hot water. Once they found out that the police station had its own gas line so the water was still warm. I went off into my little area, where as the guys stayed in theres. Lets just say that warm water on my skin felt like I was in heaven.

After I was clean I got changed into some short shorts, a tang-top with my black converse and putting my hair into a braid. I walked out to where we kept all the weapons. My dad grabbed all of them except for a few and gave those ones to Morgan. Before he did that I made sure that I grabbed some arrows, knifes, and some ammo for my handgun that I got out of my locker in the locker room.

After we got everything we walked out of the station. Before we left one of the police officers were at the gate, as a walker. I didn't know who, but I still felt sad cause I worked with him when he was alive. My dad gave Morgan a walkie-talkie and told him to contact him when he gets to Atlanta.

We then went our separate ways it was going to be a long time before I see Morgan or Duane again. My dad made a stop on the way to Atlanta though.

We stopped to where we saw that girl cut in half. My dad took out his gun and shot her right in the head. We then walked back to the car and drove down the road.

Thank you for reading chapter 6 of my walking dead book.

That was kind of a sad ending for the walker in my opinion.

Like and comment so I can get feedback on this book and so I know how to make future books better.

Thank you for reading. Bye!
