I woke up a few hours later wondering were I was. I saw Rachel talking with a short blonde man.
"Who are you and why are you doing this, and Rachel, why?" I asked as I noticed the blood trickling down my forehead from the massive blow.
"Oh Matt, I'm so sorry please forgive his stupid actions." Rachel said in a very soft and sorry tone.
"Hey, I thought he was hurting you and I was just doing what I thought was right." Said the odd looking man with a non forgiving tone.
"Who are you and what's your name anyway?"
"Names Garrett, and I'm sorry for what I did I thought you turned or where hurting her.
"Its fine I'll get through it but why are you guys together?"
"We got separated from our group and have been trying to find them ever since." Inserted Rachel.
"Is there anything I can do to help, or at least keep my stay?" I replied in a trembled tone.
"No, I want you on the road by morning." said Garrett.
"He can come with us! Matt don't listen to this forsaken idiot." said Rachel with a hint of sorrow.
"If its no bother I'd be happy to stay and help, so I'll start by gathering supplies from around town." I said, gratefully. Rachel handed me my sword and got me on my way. As I passed up all of the garbage, dead bodies, burnt cars, and zoms I finally came across a mall. As I entered something felt wrong, more strange than usual. I heard voices, not of the dead but almost like the joy that gambling brought before the virus happened. So I headed toward where I heard the voices, The South-Pacifica Casino. I was almost there when I felt a blade enter through my back and exit through my stomach.
