chapter two

Tell me what you think about the new fanfic. Be honest! I don't know if I should continue this story or not.

Chapter 2

On the way back to the group, Matt took us to an abandoned gas station. The only reason he came into town is because the group needs gas and water, other than that, me and my sister would've been a lovely feast for those... Sick people.

I, for one am not too sure on what's happening right now. I've been in bed sick for over a week because I had terrible migraines. I was in a dark quiet room for what felt like forever.

"Hey, Whit? gimme a hand wouldja?" Matt called from outside the car window.

I told Lori to stay put, then I jumped out of the car and grabbed a gas tank out of the trunk.

"So, Matt Webb is it?" I started "wanna fill me in on what's happening to Vancouver?"

"You don't know?" He asked in a shocked tone

"If I knew do you think I'd be asking?" I said sarcastically

"Well, it started a few days ago and escalated pretty quickly. Its was all over the news and radio" he started to explain to me. "'Outbreak of a deadly disease' was all you would hear 'stay inside'... I knew that when dead people started getting up, walking around and eating the living, was when the world went to shit." He finished

"You know that this sounds a bit crazy from my perspective." I chuckled "I haven't seen the sun in a week"

"Well then" he said as he put a full gas tank into the trunk "you don't know how much fun we're having" he said sarcastically.

I started filling up another gas tank. It kinda felt good taking the gas without paying for it. I've never stolen anything in my life, but I don't think the rules are the same as they used to be.

"GET DOWN!" Matt screamed as two bullets went flying pas my head.

I muffled some curse words behind my gritted teeth as I tried to find where matt was.

"What the hell" I whispered to him when I found him crouched behind his car.

"Its not just us who are still alive you know" matt whispered as he loaded his gun "the living are pretty much competing for survival supplies."

I just remembered that Lori was still sitting in the back seat of matt's car... Shit... This is the second time that I told her to stay where she was, and my instincts were wrong. I have to stop putting her in harms way as often as I do.

"Whitney, take this." Matt said as he handed me a shiny silver handgun.

I peered through the glass windows of Matt's car. I saw Lori lying on the seat, with her head cradled in her arms. I looked through both of the windows, to he other side of the parking lot. I saw two men crouching behind a dumpster, with what I am assuming are loaded guns.

I tapped on the glass to get Lori's attention. When she cautiously rose her head to look at me, I gestured for her to roll down the window. She did so very quickly and quietly

"Lori, hun. I need you to roll down the window on your other side." I whispered to her

"Are you crazy? Do you want to get us both killed?" She protested.

I was kind of shocked. But I was also impressed at the same time. Lori hasn't really disobeyed me before, so I wasn't sure of what I should do in this situation. Maybe she's finally starting to become a little more distant from me, so she doesn't really need me as much anymore.

"Trust me, okay? Get on the floor and roll down the window." I demanded.

"But Whit-"

"Do it now!" I yelled

She slowly nodded and looked away. Then she slid off of the back seat onto the floor, and rolled down the window.

"Cover your ears, Lori" I said.

I positioned the gun and lined it up with one of the guys' head. My hand was shaking like crazy. I've never had to kill a living human before. This is chaotic, but I knew I had to protect myself and my sister, and I guess Matt too, but he's a big boy. I pulled the trigger. The bullet went through both of the open windows, and then through the man's skull.

"Holy shit." Matt laughed. "That was a nice fucking shot"

"Shut up" I hissed "they will hear you, stupid" I lined the gun up with the other guy who had his head stuck up from behind the dumpster. My hand wasn't as jittery this time, so I got another clean shot to the forehead.

"Well shit" Matt said "Maybe you won't be just another thing dragging us down"

"Thanks." I said cocking an eyebrow. "I think"

Matt continued filling up gas tanks, while I ran into the gas station to get supplies. There was only one infected person. I hesitated for a moment, but when it came snapping at me, I shot it. I think it might have been the cashier.

I grabbed a plastic bag and filled it with all the water bottles it could hold. I pretty much cleared the whole freezer. I also grabbed some food that was there. It wasn't much though, Just some chips, chocolate and other stuff like that. I went up to the counter and reached into my pocket to get money.

"Wait, what am I doing? Money doesn't matter anymore." I said to myself. I looked over the counter and saw that someone had stolen all the money. "Pfft. Stupid"

"What happened?" Matt said as I walked out the door with maybe five bags of stuff on each arm.

"Nothing, just getting supplies" I said "wanna help me?"

"I heard a gun shot, what was that all about? Did you get bitten?" He asked as he took a few bags from me and tossed them in his trunk.

"No, why?" I asked

"That's how it gets spread. You get bitten, and you die. But then you come back to life, but you're not.. You" he said.

"Yeah... I definitely understand" I said sarcastically

"Well what happened in there?" He asked.

"I killed a sick person" I said

"A sick person?" He mocked

"Yeah, why? What do you call them?" I asked

"Well, we've been calling them corpses" he explained. "Because they're dead... Not sick."

"You're going to have to explain this to me in grater detail later." I said.

I honestly knew nothing about what was going on. The only thing I knew was that I was killing people, and people were trying to kill me.

"Anyways" Matt said "you can't be so loud when you're only killing one corpse. You also can't waste your ammo. It goes pretty quickly. I heard you have a pocketknife on you?"

I nodded and pulled out my knife.

"Nice" he said, examining the blade. "This is what you'll use when you're only taking on one or two at a time"

I nodded.

"Uhh, guys" Lori said poking her head out the window, pointing in the direction behind us.

Matt and I turned around and saw hundreds of corpses coming out from behind the gas station.

"Uh, Matt? What do I use in this situation, knife or gun?" I asked while backing up into the car

"Neither" Matt said."YOU FUCKING RUN!!"
