How I Survived The Dead

Risks Must Be Taken

"I mean... Emily." Phillip lied.

I can tell he was lying because he looked terribly nervous. Phillip's face was soaked in sweat.

"Your lying." I spat in his face.

"Lying?" Phillip scoffed.

"Yes. Lying." I state.

"How dare you!" Phillip yelled.

Before I could say anything... Angry moans came from behind us. Everybody began running accept the group and Phillip.

"What the hell?" Andrea said.

"Penny." I mumble.

"Penny!" Phillip began crying.

Everybody escaped into their homes. The scene was the group and Phillip and I were all looking fearfully at the girl. I realised something... Penny looks just like me. That must be why Phillip wanted me to have blond hair. A bullet flew through the air and went through the walker's head. The wound poured blood and made a pool on the ground. Phillip sank desperately to his knees and sobbed angrily. Everybody looked to Rick, who was putting his revolver back into his pocket. Phillip simply went inside his house and came out with a machine gun. The entire town of Woodbury had made a crowd.

"Get the fuck out." Phillip mumbled.

He shot. Bullets soared through the air. Everybody scattered. I grabbed Andrea and Katlynn's hands and we ran. Soon the firing stopped. Phillip threw his gun onto the ground and he ran after Andrea and Katlynn and I. He caught up. He pulled on my hair and we all fell. Phillip threw me onto the ground and dragged me back into his house. Andrea took a pistol off the ground and aimed at Phillip. She shot and it missed. Andrea ran into Phillips house. Phillip had a board of wood. He hit her in the head and she was knocked out. He quickly took Andrea's pistol. Katlynn ran into the room and Phillip shot.

"No!" I scream.

Phillip aimed the gun at me. Not the head, but the stomach. I heard the click of the gun... No ammo. He threw the gun and picked up the board. Phillip swung it at my head and the world went blank.

************************************

I woke in a strange room. I knew it was in Phillip's house. I saw Andrea in a torture chair.

"Andrea!" I cry.

"Quick! Get out of here!" Andrea said.

The door opened. Phillip entered the room holding a knife grippingly in his hand. Would this be the end? After everything I've been through?

"Kill Andrea." Phillip ordered.

"No," I mumble.

"Do it or I kill you both!" Phillip warned.

I hesitate for a moment. I would give my life for Andrea. But I knew what I must do.

"Hand me the knife." I finally say.

Phillip placed the knife in my hand. I look from him to Andrea. I felt my heart break within me. I hold the knife to my stomach. Andrea closed her eyes tightly.

"No!" Phillip yelled.

Phillip tackled me. The knife had landed into Phillip's chest. Andrea's eyes were still closed. I heard Phillip's attempts to breath. I leant him against the wall. Phillip spat blood as he tried to speak. I took the knife from his chest and cut Andrea free. She stumbled from the chair and onto the floor.

"We have to go." I say and help her up.

"I can't believe you did that!" Andrea cried in my shoulder.

"I will do anything for you." I said.

Andrea continued to cry. I held her tightly. If I don't she will fall to the floor. We slowly go towards the door until a hand grabbed my leg. I fell onto the floor. Phillip had turned. Andrea grabbed the knife and plunged it into the walkers head. Blood spilt and we lay on the floor. Astonished.
