Piper's POV
Running is all that I'm used to these days. Whether it be from the dead or survivors. You run or you die; it's that simple. I have to run from a sick man whom I won't mention the name of as I have been attempting to block his name out of my mind for good.
I ran through a thick forest of green trees as a dozen biters followed, dragging their sick bodies towards mine. I felt like a Thanksgiving dinner as I ran away from them. If I made one wrong move, I'd be a feast for the dead.
I was running out of air. My lungs were working too hard and it wasn't good for them. I just wish I could stop running but I have one motivation: finding my brother. We were torn apart from each other and now it's my job to locate him. I was out of breath and running on pure adrenaline in search of Hunter. I turned my head to look behind me and saw that the biters were gaining on me. I needed a plan.
"Think Piper, THINK!", my inner thoughts screamed at me as my head pounded from a migraine. I looked forward and tripped over a tree stump that caused me to roll down a hill into a shallow pool of water. I grasped my head in my hands and laid in the water for what seemed like hours. I felt a slight pain in my leg. I tried to move my it but it was stuck by something I sat up and looked down and, to my astonishment, my thigh had gone through a sharp tree branch which appeared to have come from a fallen tree. I winced as I tried to move my leg off of the branch. I needed to act quick because I knew that those hungry flesh eaters were right on my trail. I lifted my leg off the branch with all my might and held in a scream of pure pain. I quickly tore off my blue flannel and wrapped it tightly around my bleeding thigh. I stood up with the help of the fallen tree and patted myself down.
I tiredly pulled out my glock from my gun belt and checked it for ammo. I returned it to its spot and patted my other thigh to make sure my knife was there. It was. I looked around for my baseball bat and found it by my foot in the water. I used it as a walking stick and made my way out of the water onto dryer land. I was about to start my exhausting hike up the hill when I heard twigs snap from behind me.
