Run Away

Chapter 8

Lucy Hale as Claire⬆
------------------------------------

After clearing it up with the General that this town was made of older retirees, and a few middle aged, we all had dinner and went to bed.

...

"Rise and Shine!" Kyle's voice rang through the halls. "His voice is becoming very annoying." Claire said. "Agreed." I say.

We both get dressed and then walk downstairs for breakfast. I get my plate and sit at the table with the boys. "Hey Tara.....Walker!" Max yells before the boys burst into laughter.
"Not funny...Reece scared the crap out of me..." I say. We all talk and eat.

"General, we have a situation." One of the crew members says. General Kyle walks out of the house. We all stand up from the table and run outside.

I watch as everyone goes over to the wall. I run over to it and climb the rope up to where three of the crew members, and General Kyle is standing on it. I look and see a Walker trying to climb it.

"Tara go back down where the others are, you're not aloud up here." Kyle says. "I am the leader of the operation, right?" I say. "The leader of you five, yes." "Then I should be aloud up here." I say. He sighs clearly annoyed "Fine, but don't fall off."

I walk over to where the three crew members are standing. Two are preparing a rope, one has a gun. "What are you guys gonna do?" I ask. "We're gonna shoot it, then pull it up here." One answers me.

"Can I shoot it?" I ask. "I guess....by Why would you want to?" the same guy asks. "Because....they killed my mother....it's the only way I will be able to let go of it." I say. I grab the gun from the guys hand. I look back at General Kyle as he gives me a saddenned look as I cock the gun.

I aim towards the Walker before pulling the trigger. I watch as it stops squrimming, and falls to the ground.

"Nice work Tara." Kyle says. One of the crew members slides down the rope and ties up the Walker, while the other to pull it up On top of the wall. They put it in a bag and carry it down off the wall. I follow Kyle down. "What are they gonna do with it now?" I ask. "They will dispose with it." He says. I stop in my tracks.

"Wait!" I yell. Everyone stops and looks at me. "Get me a needle and a empty vial." I say to one of the crew members. "What are you doing Tara?" Reece asks. "You'll see." I say.

The crew member comes back and hands me the needle and vial. I walk up to the bag and open it. I stick the needle in it and a clear liquid fills into the vial. "What's this?" Kyle asks. "Its the blood of the Walker....if we run tests on it...." I trail off. "We can find out how these monsters began..." Reece says.
