"I knew we should've left!" I stood up.

"Their not only in the front , their also in the back to. We're stuck inside."

"Alright everyone get a much supplies as you can!"

I walked into the kitchen. My head started to hurt and i gripped the sink. My body started to push the food up and spit blood. Quickly cleaning it i sat down with my head in my hands.

Masons father came in" you're infected aren't you boy."

"N..no."

"Get us out and then get on your way. We don't need to be getting sick. You hear me boy?"

I nodded my head.

Mason he door. " Run upstairs everyone!"

My legs moved so fast. I ended upstairs with Mason dad. The universe really hates me.

Walkers filed up the steps. I heard another door close so i knew the others was safe.

Masons father back pressed against the door. "Help me find something heavy!"

I went to grab a shelf when a glint caught my eye."Fire." I swallowed. "There's a fire."

Suddenly a ripped through the door and grabbed his shoulder.

"Help!"

"I'm sorry." I backed towards the window. "But no one can know I'm infected."

The walker bit into his neck. His skin was peeling and blood sprayed everywhere. His screams filled the room.

I tried to open the windows but they wouldn't budge. I took a blanket on the bed and smashed the window. After that i shoved the blanket out the window. I

The walker opened the door.

I had no time to make a better cushion and I jumped.

A burning feeling with up my already injured leg. I looked down to see a chunk of glass in my leg.

I had no time to take it out. Walkers we're everywhere and my blood didn't help the situation either.

I limped my way the back. It was empty for now.

I leaned against the wall and my fingers gripped the piece of glass. My eyes were shut tight bracing for the pain. I pulled. A whimper escaped my. I pulled some more and then i tugged it. A full fledge scream escaped me.

It felt as someone shot me. I hobbled my way to see two figures sitting there. Walkers were coming up quick.

"MASON RUN!"

And my body clasped.

~~~~~
The heat woke me up by burning my skin. A groan escaped me.

"Sorry i tried to lean you on the tree for shade but it ain't do much." He had his feet in the stream.

I sat up forgetting my injury for a second when a burning heat moved up my leg. My body slumped back down.

"You ok?"

He lost both of his parents and I could've saved one."Don't worry about me. Are you ok?"

His body went still. And then he ran to me kneeling on my shoulder. " They don't killed my ma and pa. Their gone and I ain't ever gonna see em again." His body trembled.

"It's gonna be ok." What else could i say.

He wiped his eyes sitting up. "you said it yourself, where the damned. No ones gonna up and look for us. Them folks dead! Just like mine! So there is no hope for us. We all gonna die like the rest of em or end up like those walkers."

Everything he said was true. There was no hope. Even I realized that. Why should we have hope anymore. It doesn't make us live any longer.

"What we gonna do now?"

I shrugged." I can't move my leg. Maybe you could gather supplies from the house and meet me here before nightfall."

"Sounds like a plan." He got up and then handed me a gun." See you at nightfall." And he ran off.

My body was hot, more hotter than usual. I bet its lack of water. I don't know if this water is even drinkable. I'm not risking it.

Nightfall was close and Mason still wasn't there.

Footsteps came towards and i heard hushed voices.

"We have to get more or he's gonna be pissed!"

"You don't think I know that, I remember what happened to that new dude. He was tortured to death. Literally."

"Well there aren't gonna fall out the sky or grow from the ground."

I wiggled closer to the tree as the voices grew closer. Just in case i hope Mason would see but I spelled help with sticks the best way i could.

Someone stepped on my bad leg and i let out a loud scream.

A man looked at me and smiled. " Ah he's gonna be real happy."

"He's injured!"

I tried to back away slowly.

"No no no little fella." He swung something at my head and my eyes closed.
~~~~~
I was handcuffed to a poll. My eyes open and people surrounded me.

"He's up!"

Everyone made a path as a man walked through.

He was tall. He was bald and had a scar running down his neck. He walked with authority.

"STATE YOUR NAME!" His voice was ice cold.

"James."

"AGE!"

"Twelve."

He nodded at a women as she took me to a empty room.

"Strip." The women said

I took my clothes off. Something told me to listen.

A cold hose hit me. But it didn't stop a burning in my leg.

"Theres a towel and a change of clothes. Hurry up." She popped her gum.

After drying i put on the grey pants and shirt and boxers.

"Lets go."

I followed her which felt like forever. She opened a larger door revealing lots of kids doing work.

"You work for us now. You train for us now. We are you master now."

I nodded my head.

She put on a smile. A real one i might add and said" Welcome to hell hope you enjoy your stay."

The doors closed behind me.
