I looked up at Tyler, he was the only reason I was alive. His hair was perfect even when killing. I smiled and cocked my gun. Two blasts to the head was all it took to kill this stubborn kid. In all fairness he deserved it, I mean he locked us in a freaking warehouse filled with the soulless we manged to break the window and climb out before they got to us though. And anyways, now that he is one of the soulless' he probably wanted to be dead anyways. 

We pulled his body on to the pile and we headed towards the house. I put my gun back in it's case and put it back underneath the kitchen table. "Great killing today," Tyler said reaching for the milk in the fridge. "I've been wanted to shot his brain out ever since he locked us up in there, but I needed to wait until he got bitten!" I said sitting down at the table. "You have to wait or it's still considered murder," Tyler said after taking a swig out of the milk. He sat back down and Hannah rushed in the door.

Her worried face intimately made me reach for my gun case. Tyler did the same and our hands touched underneath the table, we blushed and Hannah told us some soulless' were spotted out back and we had to go kill them, but that wasn't the bad part, the bad part was Brianna and Andrew were out of ammo.

Tyler grabbed his gun and mine "Let's go kill some b******!" Tyler said handing me the gun. Hannah pulled her gun out of her pocket and opened the door for us. 

Andrew and Brianna were on the edge of our property and they couldn't fend off for long Hannah told us. Worried they'd be bit we hurried to the gulf cart and drove to the east side. 

Brianna was using her bow and arrow and Andrew was throwing rocks at them when we arrived. We quickly filed together, aimed and shot. Brianna looked back at us and Tyler threw her a Gendarme Revolver. Andrew crawled back and grabbed himself a Attache Rifle. As Hannah, Brianna and I aimed for the ones up close, Tyler, and Andrew crawled to the side and fired at the ones at more of a distance. 

I only had to reload twice and before they were all motionless. Hannah used her radio to tell Zach and Austin that their were more dead soulless' to put in the pile. We headed back. 

Hannah and I walked back alone just talking 'bout stuff. "Everyone is saying there is a safe zone a little bit from here. Do you believe it?" Hannah said kicking the ground. "Naw, but'd that'd be nice huh? Not having to worry or buy gun ammo... life when we were in Florida in around the early 2000's. But that can't happen, we don't even know what these disease is. We only know to kill them from every zombie movie in history," I said before spitting on the ground. "Guess your right but can I take a trip there tomorrow just to check?" Her face was filled with hope and I didn't feel like telling her the cold, hard, truth today. I didn't want to crush her dreams. I mean I remember being a teenager, thinking that they will find a cure for it. 

"Sure just take Eric with you," I sighed knowing she would come back even more depressed. I watched her rush to the house to go pack her stuff. I called Eric on my radio and I could hear his sigh, "It's just a waste of ammo, just tell her the damn truth already," he didn't want to go but it would give him and Hannah time to get to know each other.

We just found Hannah a few months ago, she came running in to our house screaming. She woke us up and we had to grab our guns and go kill the 3 soulless' that were chasing her. I felt bad for her and I gave her the last spare bedroom. Eric, Tyler, Brianna, Zach, Austin were pissed but she just reminds me so much of myself I couldn't let her go. I mean the fact she found the spear keys and the soulless' finger buried in the flower plant and unlock our front door showed she really wanted to live.

I walked into the house and Zach gave me a 'did you really?' look and Hannah came running down the stairs screaming, "Thank you all SO much for letting stay here but once I confirm the safe zone 'imma go live there," I almost laughed out how sure she was that there actually was a safe zone. She grabbed Eric and told him to pack his bags and they are leaving tomorrow. Eric's face showed he was clearly pissed but he reluctantly walked up stairs and started packing. "Have fun!" I screamed up the stairs, "F*** you!" he said. I just laughed and started to make dinner.
