Safe Haven: undead

Chapter 1: The beginning

  My names Rebecca Fields. I am 12 years old and at this moment, i'm running from.. what are these anyways. I know they're dead people but, what do you call them? Corpses i guess. I'm running through the city trying to get out. my mom got attacked and turned but i couldn't put her down. I was almost out. Almost out of this death trap. I had a knife that i used when my dad took me hunting. My dad left me and my mom six years before this. I'm still mad at him. He never came back after that. Not even to visit me. You cant tell me you wouldn't be mad. I made my way to the edge of the city but a corpse grabbed my arm. I let out a small scream and then took my knife and jabbed it into the head of the freaky monster thingy. It hadn't been to long since this started. About a week i think. I was running so much and was out of breath but i had to keep going. I came up a hill and saw multiple vehicles and tents. I was out of breath and dehydrated.
I tried to make it all the way there but i collapsed to the ground.
I heard a whistle " there's a kid down there! she collapsed" someone yelled.
I could tell it was a man's voice. I heard feet slamming on the ground as dirt flew up beside me. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I was swept off the ground and carried into the small camp. i was set on a cot in a blue tent. i looked around and my eyes stopped on the man at my side. He had black hair and was wearing a blue button up shirt. He was looking around nervously and grabbed a water bottle off the ground.
He opened it "here" he breathed " drink this".
He held it up to my mouth as i took drinks of the cold water. I lied back down and my eyes closed slowly. I must have slept for a long while because when i woke up the things around the tent had been moved. I sat up slowly, observing my surroundings. There were kid clothes in a bag on the floor. They were a boys clothes.
I stood up and my feet were cold. My shoes had been taken off. I found them sitting in the corner. They were black combat boot's with some mud on the bottom and heel. i slipped them on and unzipped the tent as i walked out underneath the bright sun. everyone stood up and turned around to look at me. I looked at the small group of people and there was about 20 people. I didn't reach for my knife or gun because they saved me. If they wanted me dead they would've killed me by now. i saw a girl and boy about my age behind their mothers. i could't see the kids' faces but i looked up to the boys mother and gasped in shock. i smiled "!" i yelled and threw myself into her arms. she held me tight then pulled away "you okay?" she asked "did any of 'em get you?". I nodded and hugged her again my eyes closed. I opened my eyes to see him. The boy. I pulled away and lunged towards him. "Rae" he breathed "you're okay" he sighed. i smiled and pulled away. My best friend since fourth grade. Shane, the man who saved me, put his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and he sighed "where are your parents?"he asked.
I didn't answer. Lori pulled him to the side and explained it to him.
I continued to talk to Carl. "what happened to your mom?" he asked. I started to cry slightly but didn't answer. I didn't need to answer, he already knew. He hugged me tightly and i felt a small hand on my shoulder. I turned to see a red head girl standing above me. she smiled "i'm " she whispered. I was glad there was another girl here, but she looked like one of those shy girl's that always wore blue pink or yellow. "come on Sophia" a small voice said "your father wants us with him". What was up with that? It didn't seem right. Carl nudged my shoulder. i smiled "how long was i asleep?" i asked. He thought for a minute. Was it a long time? It had to be. he looked at me "it was a couple months" he stated "two i think". Two months? I wasn't asleep, i was in a coma. Well that's a first.
I knew i was safe here.
This is my family now.
