The Dead Are Walking

Chapter 1

Alicia's Pov

I walked along the dirt road. Sand was getting in my eyes as the wind blew it along. There was nothing but dessert as far as the eye could see. I grabbed the hair tie from my wrist and tied up my long blown wavy hair. I could feel the sweat dripping down my back with every step i took, my legs getting weaker and weaker as the muscles continued to pull.

I looked off into the distance, there was something pink just up the road. I ran towards it, heaving by the time i reached the object.

A bike.

I brushed away my bangs that had fallen down from my pony tail before bending over and picking up the bike by its handle bars. I lifted it upright and looked at the tires and chains. Everything seemed good.

I sat on it and started peddling. This would get me more distance in a faster amount of time, but it would wind me quickly.

I heard groaning coming from beside me. I looked over and a walker came out from behind a fallen over rusty transport truck. Obviously had been abandoned during the first wave when everything went bad.

I sighed and started peddling. It was only one walker so i had nothing to worry about, and i had lost my knife a few days ago while fighting off a group of walkers. One had been more fresh and the knife had gotten caught in its skull.

I bit my lip when i heard a few more groans behind me. I refused to turn around and see.

I was getting nervouser with every second that passed.

I felt something hit me in the back and it sent me flying off of the bike. I quickly flipped myself over but as a walker launched itself on me. I placed both hands on each of his shoulders and pushed. He pushed equally as hard back, his mouth chomping trying to get closer to me and get my face.

Im done. I thought to myself. I closed my eyes and just as i was about to let go. I heard a gun shot and the weight fall off of me.

I layed there for a moment. Too stunned to move.

"Get up!" I heard someone shout.

My eyes snapped open and i stood up to see a blond holding a gun and sitting on a motorcycle.

My jaw dropped. I hadnt seen another living human in over a year.

"Lets go!" She said glaring at me, before she took out three more zombies that had come out from behind the truck.

I stood up and ran to the bike, i swung my leg over and she took off before i even sat down. I wrapped my arms around her waist as she drove, holding on for dear life.

"Thank you!" I said, yelling over the sound of the engine.

"Im Alicia!" I said again, the engine almost blocking the sound out.

The blond nodded, "Im Elyza! Elyza Lex!"

I smiled at the name as we drove on. I looked around at the road. It was starting to get less hot from the wind.

After about 10 minutes we finally reached the end of the dusty nowhere, to the comfort of a small town with very nice houses.

We drove past 6 before pulling into the garage of one that had spray paint all over the bricks.

I got off and looked around at the words while Elyza turned off the engine.

Leave While Your Still alive One of the sprayed on walls said.

"This was my uncles house" The blonde said.

I turned and looked at her. "Is he alive?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Follow me" she said and walked towards the entrance of the house.

Elyza was wearing black skinny jeans, a black leather jacket, and under that, a grey stripped t-shirt. Her Blond hair was in complicated braids and fell just below her shoulders and her eyes were blue like the sky.

I wore a black t-shirt with my ex boyfriends football jacket and navy ripped skinny jeans, my eyes were as green as the ground.

I followed Elyza into the house and looked around. The whole house was covered with boards, painted words and guns.

"Your prepared for anything" i said in awe.

She shook her head and sat down on the black couch. "Not me. My uncle. He was prepared before the world went to shit" she said.

I looked at her confused.

She sighed. "Sit" she said and pointed to the chair across from her.

I sat down and looked at her.

She sat back and put her hands on her knees. "My uncle believed this was going to happen before it did. He went insane because nobody would believe him...but he left this place to his wife when he got taken to the asylum. And now its mine" she said and crossed her legs.

I nodded slowly and looked around, "so where is his wife?" I asked.

Elyza smirked. "I killed her" she said.

I frowned. "Must have been hard to kill her after she turned" i said.

Elyza shook her head and leaned closer. "I shot her while she was alive" she whispered.

My eyes widened and i looked around nervously before standing up.

"I..i need to go" i said and walked quickly towards the door before i felt my knees buckle out from below me, and my head hitting the floor hard. After that everything went black.
