Zombie's (book 1 of 3)

off track

So the plan was simple. We go south toward the mysterious voice in my head. Piece of cake right? Well that's not going so well. Ya see, I just kinda got sorta weirded out by the voice thing. Then thimble had a great idea to go and find a safe place to hold up at. Needless to say, I was all for that plan. However it required way too much walking for my liking at the moment. We have been walking for days, and I mean, days. We have stopped a few times but still.... To, much, walking!!!!
" thimble where are we going?" I grumble.
" a place. I know some people that had extended an invite when this whole thing started up. So I'm taking them up on the offer." She states matter-o-factly.
" uhuh. And these people are.... What, possibly dead or gone. That's at least a logical assumption. Or hey! We could get lucky about this and they could still be alive and in the same place!"
" winter, trust me, I know that they are still alive and in the same place. Besides we'll find out soon enough. We're almost there."
Oh joy.
Creeping through some wooded area thimble leads us to a dirt path. It's quite long in length and well cleaned. No dead things around it, perfectly in order. I trudge up the hill, exhausted from walking. Slowly, but surely, a building with a extensive fence around it come into view. I feel like I have just walked into one of those movies, ya know the crapy, cheesy, b rated movies that old people like to watch. Yup that was me right now, facing my worst fear. As we approach it I realize that it's not just a building, its an old jail. Oh great.

Several automobiles are parked inside the gate. Obviously the gate is locked. How on earth does thimble figure people are in their who would offer her refuge? Beats me! Thimble bangs on the gate. Yelling out, " hey!!! Chris!! Open up! its thimble!"
For a second nothing happens and I have the urge to turn around. Then, a figure emerges from the shadows of some of the smaller buildings inside. The man is built well, tan skin, shaggy hair, brown eyes. Kinda hot, not as hot as my man but still close to second! He greets thimble with a warm smile and opens up the gate. " about time you showed up chica! We've been worried sick, thought you'd been eaten or something." He looks in our direction," ahh, and this must be the little group you have going on. Well come on in, lets go introduce them to the others." We walk on in as he locks the gate back up. I catch kaydence glaring slightly at this, chris, character, his face twisted with hatred. God! Does he look pissed beyong reason! Note ti self, stang clear of a jealous kaydence, it could get ugly real quick. Chris leads us down several alleyways to The largest building.  It's in the center of the old jail. I inch closer to Kane, feeling uneasy. He registers my concern and discomfort and intertwines his fingers with mine. Giving my hand a small squeeze. I smile at him.
Finally we enter a tall, cement gray colored building with others in it. They all gasp in surprise when they see thimble. Running up to her and giving hugs, Talking some. They start to engage in conversation with us when a tall man comes forward. Blondish hair. Gray eyes, olive colored skin. He has a holster with a pistol in it and a few knifes that I could see. He speaks with authority. " my goodness, thimble! Long time no see. And in one piece I still see." The man chimesbwith enthusiasm. That's just peachy.
" cal. That's so considerate of you. Oh, these are my friends." Thimble gestures to the three of us. Cal greets Kane with a smile and a hand shake. I sink further into myself. Standing further behind Kane. I'm so weirded out by this dude! Kane squeezes my hand.
" nice to meet you. What are your names?" Cal stares intently at the three of us. Kane, obviously sensing mostly my discomfort, and the others a bit, he states," I'm Kane, you know thimble, the guys next to her is kaydence, and this is winter." Kane smiles some at cal. I just stair at my feet awkwardly. Cal smiles back, kinda creepy. Casually he glowers," so, Kane, I need to ask you and well,(Cal's eyes linger on me for a split second)... Some questions. Just as a precaution. Nothing serious." A weird shiver of discomfort crawls up my spine when cala eyes stare me down.

" of course, we understand, shoot." Kane says coolly.

Chris, glares at cal. I become more uneasy. I don't feel all that safe here.
