Cimorelli's Surviving

max the shooter

alex's pov.

we ran down the street.  i could feel my gun and knife.  i didnt like having them but i know i need them.  i wish dad would have gave nick something too.  ill just have to watch him and protect him.  

anyways.  i heard a wierd moaning noise.  it was coming from the area ahead of us.

"dad, ben whats that?"  i ask, stopping right then.

"what?"dad listens carefully.

"i hear it too" max whispers.

"its a runner.  i got it." ben sneaks around.  

we all watch from a distance as ben slowly goes behind the runner and grabs it.  he then strangles it until it stops moving.  it was terrible to think that the runner was once a man like us.  

we then continue down the road stopping every once and a while to listen for runners.  we get pretty far, my feet hurt and im tired.  

"lets find a car" dad suggests.

"alright, but stay close" ben says.  

"ill go with lauren"  dad says.

"hey dad can i go wth alex?" max asks ben.

"sure, i guess it you and me kiddo" ben ruffles nicks hair.

max and i walk down a street and check every car.  all of them are pretty much destroyed.

"hey look! that car looks good!" max runs to a black SUV.

"yeah, lets check it."  we look at it all over, making sure it has gas, breaks work, engine works, and other things.  

"looks good" max gives a thumbs up.

"remember where it is, we have to go get the others" i start back down the street but max pulls me down.

i was about to say something when he points in front of us.  there must have been ten runners coming.  max and i pull out our guns.  

"maybe we should just sneak by them." i offer.

"it will do no good, we are coming back here for the car.  i dont want to put any one else in danger." he aims his gun.  he's a brave kid.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! he takes out three, clean headshots.

the remaining runners turn towards us and come after us.  

BOOM! BOOM! he takes out two more.

i raise my gun and fire a shot. BOOM! it misses.  i try again. BOOM!  it hits one in the chest and it goes down..  

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! max takes them out.  theres one more left.  the runner runs towards me, i panic and stumble back, falling over something.  my gun slides out of my reach.  the runner is getting closer and closer.  i crawl to my gun as fast as i can, the runner now on my heels.  

i reach my gun and quickly aim it at the runner. before i can make my shot theres a BOOM! i look over and max puts his gun away.  

"thanks" i push the runner away from me.  

"no problem" he extends his hand out.  i take it and he helps me up. 

"max!" "alex"  our dads yell as they run over with lauren and nick right behind them.

"are you alright?" my dad looks me over for injuries.

"we're fine, just a bit of trouble" max says.

lauren and nick look around at the dead runners.  "you killed them all?" nick is surprised.

"really it was all max, i only killed one"  i look at max.  

"well good job" his dad pats his back.

"oh and we found a working car" i point at the SUV.

"good, lets go" we run to the car and get in.  ben drives.
