On the Brink... (A Walking Dead Fanfic)

Chapter 8

     Walkers started walking toward me. Here I go. I thought as I tried to figure out a plan to kill all of these walkers without having to use my gun. My mind worked way faster than my human one did. Five walkers were nearing me.

      This was going to be easy. I ran around all of them with my speed and killed each of them in less than a second with my bare hands. I laughed quietly. Blood covered my hands and my clothes because of how many walkers I had killed in the last hour.

      My throat was burning because of the yearn to drink it but I just couldn't. The idea of drinking a walkers blood was just sick. If I had to anytime soon, I would just try to find an animal. I was sure there were some out there. It would also be cleaner. For now, I would stick to human food though, even if it was expired.

      Like Carl said, I could survive on either. I ran down the road. Everything was so clear for the fact I was running about a hundred miles per hour and it was pitch black outside. My eyes finally adjusted to how they were supposed to.

      I could see each tree individually. Each leaf, trunk, flower, It was amazing. I would never think any of this would be possible if it wasn't for Carl and Judith explaining to me what really was going on. It was still all so unrealistic.

      I ran all the way to Montgomery in at least fifteen minutes and then finally I stopped. There were cars all over the road and walkers everywhere. I promised Carl that I wouldn't get into any trouble...but it wouldn't hurt to look around a little. Would it?

       I walked over to a nearby Toyota truck and opened the door to it. The truck was in pretty good shape on the inside. I searched to see if there were any supplies on it.

      Eventually, I came out with the keys to the truck, a Glock 17 (which would be useful), a backpack, a couple of CDs, and a small bible. I stuffed everything into the backpack and turned around.

      A walker was standing right behind me with its arms stretched out. I gasped and then pushed it back with inhuman force. It slammed into the ground, leaving a small crater in it. I ran over in half a second and smashed its head in one swift motion of my foot.

      I turned around. A whole group of walkers were coming toward me. Crap, I thought to myself. Walkers were all around me now. I could run or kill them all. Wait...maybe I could jump over them and run. They were all about five yards away now.

      I took a few steps back, ran forward, and jumped with all my strength. I was at least seventy-five feet in the air. It felt like I was flying. I landed softly and quietly on my feet. I was definitely not expecting that. I ran straight forward and followed my scent from where I was before.

      I was back at the house before I knew it. The moon was almost full and it shined down on me. Great, now I feel like I'm a werewolf. I chuckled. My throat started to burn like fire. I stopped in my tracks and held my throat.

      I caught the strong smell of human blood coming from the house. "No," I choked out. "I can't..." I broke away from the urge to go into the house as I turned around and ran. I ran as far as I could away from the house that my group was in.

      I caught the scent of a herd of deer, which made me go into full hunter mode as my senses completely took over my body. A few walkers were out in the open field and took down one of the deer. The rest were all mine.

                                                 ****

      I pounced on the last of the deer like a cat and dug my teeth into its neck. I could hardly feel the burn in my throat now but there was still a faint prick of pain deep down. By the time I finshed up the deer, I had blood from head to toe, Literally.
