Trapped: Fanfiction of Charlie Higson's "The Enemy Series" / By Andrew Thompson

Chapter One

"What happened?" said a blonde haired girl  named Mary. She walked over to a small boy named Jacob, sitting down  and putting down her sledgehammer.

"Murr's gone." said Daisy. She walked over to a young kid and sit next to him.

"Gone?" questioned an eight year old boy named David, "what do you mean gone?"

All  the kids at  the school gathered around to hear what was going on. Other  than the kids on the scav group, there were six other kids there. Mary,  Jacob, David, Kai, Tyreese, and Riggs.

"What's going on? Kai  said. Kai is a fifteen year old boy, with dark colored skin, a brown  afro, and a hatchet for a weapon. He was usually the kid who would make  the strategies, like the best places to go and hide or run from the  grown ups. He was the right hand man for Murray. Loved him like a father.

"Murray went somewhere, " said little David, "but he'll be back soon. I think"

Kai leaned into Dylan and asked what happened.

"We  were overrun by a bunch of grownups and Murr got bit. We had to leave  him, wasn't sure if he'd turn into one of them." he replied.

Tyreese was eavesdropping on the twos conversation about what the crew was going to do, when Mary spoke up.

"If you haven't noticed already, Murray is gone." she announced. 

Mumbles broke out among the crew as she continued on.

"The  scav group got ambushed by a horde of grown ups and Murray got bit in  the middle of it. The team wasn't sure what to do. They didn't know if  he was going to turn into one of the sick, so they left him at the roof  of the Southpark mall and came back to the school. Now that the Murray  is gone, I am the new leader of our group, and I will now need a co  leader to help me. Any volunteers?" 

The classroom was completely quiet. 

Even the consistently talking Zachary fell silent. 

Even though he was one of the best fighters on the team, he didn't want to be in control of all the kids. He wanted them to respect him as a fighter, not a leader.

"I will."

All eyes turned towards the speaker.

"You will?" laughed Zachary, " to hell will I ever listen to you."

Daisy got up and made her way up to Mary.

"Why not? Cause you don't like me? Cause I'm a girl? Scared a female could be better than you?" Daisy said head high.

"No, cause I a'int gonna listen to some dumb country girl." Zachary said, spear in hand. "Mary from the hood like me and knows how to handle the hard life. You'll get scared at one sight of them zombies."

"Grown ups."

"Shut up Rachael! I don't need to hear a word from you." Zachary said loudly.

"Shut it!" Mary screamed, "I've already decided that Daisy will be the new co."

After Mary said that it was official. Daisy was the new co-leader for the Runner.

The Runners were getting ready for the night, putting away their weapons in storage room where all their supplies were. Food, water, batteries, clothes, spare knives, and a few handgun bullets even though they don't have a gun. The kids all got in their sleeping bags and blew out the candles that were keeping the lights in the room.
