Safe Zone

Day 15
*using Dean Geyer as Trent*
After travelling for 5 days, and getting lost many times. We manage to scrape by with fuel and make it to Melbourne.
And by great luck we manage to stumble across the safe zone, as we were not given an address other than it was on the outskirts of the city.
We arrive at a fence made of white wood which looks like it's made up of doors and house panels and scrap metal stretching metres high.
Me and Alan walk to the front of the bus, and the three of us stare at the wall and surroundings.
I don't see anyone, or any walkers- but there is blood splattered up the walls- I'm taking that they're armed, and that this place hasn't been overrun by walkers, but we can't see inside so we'll have to wait and see.
We walk off the bus cautiously, and shut the door behind us, reluctant to leave the safety of the bus, because now we're totally exposed. (Bones exposed even huehuehuehue)
We stand for a few minutes- waiting for something to happen,
"Should we go up to the gate?" Says Alan, looking at us both nervously,
And before we get to reply we're fired at once by a gun,

"Drop your belongings and walk towards the gate hands in the air where I can see them!"
We do what the man says, even though we can't see him, but his voice is coming from behind the wall.
I look behind us and there's people emerging from the tree line and taking our gear.

"Hey, that's ours!" I yell turning around and facing the thieves,

"Don't worry little girl- they're just checking for weapons," yells the man behind the wall that I still can't see. Austin coaxes for me to stand back with him and Alan, and we wait for our next inspection.
The guard who's behind the wall orders for the gate to be opened, and he appears and walks towards us.
And I'm surprised because he looks about me age, maybe a little older. He has to be 17-18, and he's kinda cute. He's tall and has brown hair, tanned skin, a cute nose and soft brown eyes to die for. He gives me a little smile and I die on the inside, his smile is perfect.

"I'm Lieutenant Trent, the main guard of the gate," he says patting us down, and I blush when he searches me, I look over at Alan and he's wiggling his eyebrows at me.
Trent steps away and looks at us all, but looking at little more at me, and nods looking happy we're not a danger to anyone, then asks for us to follow him inside.
I walk up beside Alan and elbow him in the ribs, "that's for embarrassing me," I say, he looks at me and laughs then turns to Austin,

"Nori has a crush on Tren-"

"I do not!" I say jumping on Alan's back and covering his mouth making Austin laugh.

"Hhm," I hear, we all turn our heads and see Trent standing and waiting for us to stop acting like idiots so he can take us inside the safe zone.
I hop off Alan's back and continue to walk forward looking down, because I know Alan is grinning at me like a dork- I can feel his eyes on me.

We walk through the gate- and we all gawk.
There's many houses- they're small, this must have been an older part of town because the houses look really old fashioned. I look to my left and see 5 streets- and the same on my right.
There's kids, mothers and fathers walking around enjoying the zombie free zone. We follow Trent to what looks like the main house- as it's the biggest and there's guards walking in and out. And I notice there's some stuck up looking teenage girls gawking at Austin, and laughing at me, giving me the skank eye.
I stomp over to them- but Austin pulls me back and looks me in the eye and says, "they're not worry it, Ignore them." He smiles at me and I stick my tongue out at the girls- I'm really a 5 year old at heart.

We walk into the big important house,
"Wait here," says Trent, walking off into a room on the right side of the building.
We stand awkwardly while people stare at us and chat quietly, obviously talking about us- when Trent reappears and signals for us to follow him.
We walk into a room and we're greeted by a man who looks to be the one who runs this, as his badge says "Sir Smith."

"Ah new comers! Welcome to the safe zone!" He says walking up to us and shaking our hands, he seems friendly.

"Hi I'm Austin, and this is Alan and Nori," says Austin pointing to us.

Sir Smith smiles at us and signals for us to sit down in front of his desk, and asks us many questions about our past, our jobs, if we've killed anyone ect, probably deciding if we're going to stay or not.
He calls for Trent and he enters the room and stands by the door, I look over at Austin- who's distracted and looking at Sir Smith- I turn my head and look at Alan and he's wiggling his eyebrows at me, again.

"Please escort these lovely people to their house, 23 Stony Rise." Says Sir Smith smiling at us as we follow Trent to our new house.
We walk two streets over and find our selves walking down a beautiful street which is raised up on a hill and has an amazing view of the city.

'21, 22, 23'

We all gasp when our eyes lock on our house- it's a beautiful wooden house with a deck which looks at though the railing was hand carved- and we have a deck!
And before we're able to turn and thank Trent he's already left and I can
just see him in the distance.
Alan runs up to the front of the house and pushes the door open and bursts into the house- me and Austin race up after him and oh my god It's just as good as the outside.
Wooden floors, a raised roof with a chandelier, a huge kitchen on the left, and on the right are stairs which lead up to the second floor- I could have only dreamed of having a house like this.
I look over at Austin and he basically has the same facial expression as me- mouth wide open looking like a fish out of water, and Alan has already ran upstairs to explore the rest of the house, which doesn't surprise me at all, he's basically a child after all.
