Helena woke early, she packed everything she needed including first aid, binoculars, water and even a pickaxe, which she carried obviously. She washed her face and began the one hour walk towards the city. The closer she got the more zombies began to appear but they where slow and weak and Helena could get past them without being detected if she remained quiet.

The tall buildings became viable and Helena had arrived on what was a motorway. There where many zombies stumbling around the empty cars. Helena sneaked towards the closest car and crouched down beside it. she peered inside and saw a corpse. "At least he died and stayed dead" Helena sarcastically said to herself. She then moved to the next car, maneuvering her way down the motorway. Somewhat down the motorway was a small horde surrounded a van. On top where to more survivors. A young female who looked about 16 and clinging to her was a small 6 or 7 year old boy. Helena just couldn't live with herself if she left them as zombie lunch. She had to think fast, what she needed was some kind of distraction. Helena had an idea. She yanked open a door to one of the many abandoned vehicles. and honked a few times until she had caught the zombies attention. The majority moved towards the distraction, but a few remained, banging uselessly on the side of the van. There was only one or two, nothing Helena couldn't handle. Helena moved up behind one of the zombies and swung her pickaxe into its skull. The second zombie moved toward Helena who was trying to yank out the pickaxe witch was stuck in the other zombies head. After a few tugs she managed to pull it out, along with loads of blood from the zombies head which splatted against the white van. She then swung the Pickax at the moving zombie impaling it through its left ear straight through to it right but that didn't kill it. Helena grabbed a large screwdriver that was tucked in her belt and struck the zombie multiple times until it died, blood splattered all over her face. She pulled out the pickax and whispered to the strangers on top of the car "Hey! climb down and follow me."

Helena and the other people arrived on a normal street mainly filled with small shops which had already been ransacked. Helena entered a random building and started looting the shop for resources, mainly food. As Helena was routing through the almost empty shelves the girl politely said "Thanks for helping us out, i'm Amber and this is my nephew his name is Rory." "Don't mention it" was Helena's reply, "How old are you and your nephew?" "16... Rory's 7." Helena who was now scavenging another part of the shop asked Amber to collect anything useful. She manged to find a few bags of sweets and some tins of beans.

Everyone was busy, even Rory was helping until a sudden scream echoed through the street. Someone shouted "this way, this shop looks safe." It didn't take Helena or Amber much to realize 'that shop' was the shop they where in! Helena, Amber and Rory, hid behind the counter. The people from outside came inside...
