World Of Zombies

Pinky Promise

~~ALEX POV~~

After I got Riley over the wall, we were on an open rode surrounded by another wall. Riley was a bit crazy since his head was fuzzy and he just watched his girlfriend become eaten alive. I feel bad for him after all he, I mean we have been through. I hope Clarissa and Lily are okay.

"Alex, where are we going?" Riley asks.

"Honestly, we aren't going to Florida anymore. It's to hard. I want to try to find a place in this world that isn't infected. With normal people. I just want to survive."

"I think that's a good idea. But the problem is I don't think anyone is left." Riley says. What if he is right? I've watched people die. Adonis, Maggie, Rdawg, Corbin, Madison, who knows about Clarissa or Lily. I feel bad because I was the cause almost all of their deaths.

"Let's just try to find humans." I look around at the open road. Where does it lead to? Well right now, lets just focus on surviving.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It's almost night and we still haven't gotten anywhere. We have been walking for hours, all we have eaten is crackers and half and apple. I pull out my sleeping bag and lay it on the grass next to the wall. Riley is keeping first watch. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

~~Clarissa POV~~

Well it's been a few weeks and Lily and I haven't gotten anywhere. Lily has just been laughing the whole time.

"Clarissa! My feet hurt!" Ugh. She's complaining again.

"Why are you complaining? I've been carrying you for more than half of this trip! How do you think I feel?" I spot that out at her. Her face turns bright red because she knows I'm right.

"Okay, which direction do we go in now?" I ask Lily.

"Keep heading North. By my calculations we will be in Florida by the next decade!" Lily says sarcastically. "I mean we are moving at the speed of a dead turtle!"

"Sorry, not everyone can ride on someones back the whole way." I came back with a good comeback. I chuckle out loud and Lily just stares at me, she shakes her head and focuses on the rode ahead. It has been a long time since we have seen any zombies but that doesn't mean they arent out there. We travel night and day, rarely taking breaks. We haven't had water in days which could be fatal.

~~Riley POV~~

I have the first watch of the night. It's been pretty quiet. Every now and then you hear groans from behind the walls. But we are safe. I swear that we have walked miles away from the hotel building. I'm devastated that Maggie was attacked. I should have stayed behind with her instead of following Alex.

I hear some more moans, more than normal. Coming closer and closer. Louder and louder. If I move, Alex and I are screwed. I slow my breathing down and pull out my gun quietly. I have faith that these walls won't break but then again I don't know how many there are on the other side. I hear the sound of silent feet. There would be too many to fight. I slowly wake up Alex when I hear the sound of a gun shot. A survivor was close to us? And we didn't even know!

The feet slowly move away towards the gun shot. The gun shot was followed by a familiar scream and then silence. Maggie. She was alive this whole time. My one true love. Gone. For real this time. I could have saved her. If only I had known. But right now I need to wake up Alex and get out of this place.

I shake Alex. She does not like that. She hits my arm and put her hand on her gun. I need a better way to approach this. I pull out my gun and hit her with it, he hard metal collides with her face, which of course sparks a reaction. She immediately opens her eyes and takes out her knife. Crap.

"What the heck Riley! I could have killed you!" She screams. I put my finger over my nose signalling her to be quiet. The zombies finished with their meal (Maggie) now scattering. Well, crap.

I pull Alex up and start running, still pulling her. She screams profanities at me for not telling her anything. If I were her I would be confused too. Tears are falling down my face, possibly at the speed of water going over the edge.

"Riley!" A few more obscene words come out of her mouth, obviously not one who likes being woken up without a good reason. I mentally laugh.

"I swear to god if you don't tell me why we are running, I won't resist to shoot your foot!" She is screaming these words at me. Curse words in between almost every word. Very classy for a lady.

I abruptly stop running causing her to slam into me.

"Want to know why we are/were running?" The words don't come out as subtle as I wanted them to. Instead they come out in a more rude, screaming way. "Maggie was still alive. While you were sleeping I heard her scream, shoot a zombie, the silence. She is done for it! My only true love! I would do anything for my Maggie back!" I practically fall to my knees crying. Alex pats my shoulder and says something that sounds like it could be reassuring but it's muffled by my sobs.

"Riley, I know you are sad, but we need to make it through this. Survive as long as we can. I promise I will get you through your Maggie depression." She holds out her pinky like a little five year old. Also smiling like one.

"Pinky promise?" She chuckles as I link my pinky around hers.

That was my crappy day. Listening to the death of my love, having a bunch of profanities yelled at me, and pinky promising. Sadly, it's been one of my better days. I just wish we could at least find one other survivor.

~~Next Morning~~

I awake to the sun shining way to bright. I feel like I'm on a hangover. I turn my head and see Alex is already awake. Obviously feeling the same as I do with her hand shielding her eyes. I also notice she is clutching her stomach.

"Having fun with your first 'hangover'?" I accuse jokingly, not really expecting an answer. Her being 18, or possibly 19, I don't exactly expect her to know what a hangover is.

She smiles at me. But not a normal smile.

"Alex?! Have you been hungover before?" The question rolls off my tongue. I was almost dying to know though. Welcome to my life people. I have become very observant and I ask stupid questions! So much fun!

She nods her head slowly. That makes me wonder if anyone else has. Gosh, thinking like a girl.

"Well, I'm not going to question your private life anymore. Let's keep walking." I stand up and offer a hand. She slaps it and gets up herself. Such a lady. I chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?" Did I just laugh out loud!? I silently curse to myself and nod.

"Yeah, I did. It's just funny because you were the last person I ever thought I would be here with." I laugh yet again, although her face is anything but happy. It went from smiles to the death glare.

"So you just said that I wouldn't be here without the help of you? You saying I'm weak!?" Curses!! Her woman mind is acting up again! Looks like someone is experiencing her period.

"If you think I'm so weak, then I probably won't be able to carry this bag." She drops her bag. "I might not even be able to walk all those miles, or fight off zombies." She takes out all her weapons and drops them to the ground. But like the idiot I am, I make a stupid comment:

"A mad lady? Your face is quite red darling, trying to light your face on fire?" This comment results with her cutting my shoulder. A few profanities come out of her mouth and then she starts running. I grab the backpack and some of the weapons and chase after her.

"Alex! Don't be such a women and get back here!" Facepalm. She pulls out a little knife and throws it behind her. Hitting me in the foot.

"GOD! WHAT THE *Beep* IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Is the first thing that comes out of my mouth.
