Hunter awoke from his slumber. He groaned and sat up. Max sat up as well, looking around and sniffing the air. Hunter then looked around. His gaze fell to Sapphire. She laid asleep. He heard a voices of what sounded like infected far off and shook his head "damn..." he muttered and picked Sapphire up. He walked to the passenger side of the truck and opened it. Max hopped in and sat in the middle, wagging his tail. Hunter set down Sapphire in the passenger seat and buckled her seat-belt. he then headed to his side of the truck and got it, starting the truck and listening to small truck roar to life and drove off down the road.

The truck had run out of gas. Sapphire was already awake and standing outside the truck as Hunter gathered all of their supplies. He whistled for Max and he came walking over. "common Sapphire! we need to get moving!" she walked over to where Hunter was and smiled. He had found a wooden baseball bat and a small pistol for Sapphire. He noticed her holding it and looked down at his own weapons. His pistol in his sheath and his bat tightly gripped in his hands. With his free hand he held out his hand. Sapphire took it and they began to walk. After a few hours of walking, they heard a sudden rupture of screams. Hunter looked around. He saw a small horde of zombies banging on a door to a pharmacy. Hunter looked at Sapphire. "get your gun ready, you might need it". She nodded and they slowly approached the zombies.

Before Hunter could process what was happening, he was running down a alley, his hand stung with pain, bitten, he carried Sapphire in his hands as he ran from the vicious horde of zombies. He was joined by a few men and woman with rifles and melee weapons. They reached a dead end. The small amount of men with rifles opened fired on the approaching horde. Hunter mumbled looking down Sapphire knocked out in his arms "is this happening?...i'm bitten and hurt. I need to find a exit." he said looking around. He then spotted a small window window into a building. "common!" he called out, climbing on a dumpster that led to the small window. he crawled in and fell to the floor on his back. He stood up weakly and ran like hell down halls of doors on each side of him.
