The Beginning of the End

Lost

I stand there and look around.

"How did we get here?" Jessie asks.

I shrug and continue to look around.

"Here, ill go climb a tree and see if i can see anything" i say.

I climb a large birch tree and look around, all I see is trees ands bodies of water and even more trees. Jessie screams and I slip and fall to the ground. I feel a pain shoot through my body and I look down at my leg which is gushing blood. I look over and jessie is laying on the ground with a zombie on top of her. I slowly sit up with my head throbbing, I then grab her machete and chop the zombies head in half covering jessies face in dark red blood. She lays there breathing heavily wiping the blood away from her eyes.

"Th...thanks" she says.

I nod and sit down. I lift up my pants revealing a big cut on my thigh thats gushing thick red blood.

"Omg Allison" jessie exclaims.

She crawls over to me and digs in her bag.

"My mom was a doctor, she taught me some stuff let me clean that up for you" she explains.

Unwilling to let myself bleed to death I nod and let her clean and wrap up my leg.

"Its almost dark we can camp here for the night, I have some stuff in my bag we can make a shelter with" she explains.

I nod and sit there in pain.

"Do u know how to start a fire?" She asks.

I nod and slowly stand up, a pain shoots through my side and I wince in pain.

"Are you ok alli?" She asks.

I ignore her and start picking up brush and sticks. I make a small firepit out of rocks and place the pile of brush and sticks in the middle. I take her lighter and start the fire.

"Thank you" she says.

I warm up by the fire and rub my head, I touch something warm and I look at my hand and its covered in blood.

"Allison your head is bleeding" she exclaims.

"I...i know" i growl.

She rushes over to me and digs in her back pack, she pulls out gauze and bandages and wraps up my head.

"Thanks i guess" i say.

About an hour and a half later the sun sets and she finishes making the shelter out of a fallen over tree, string, and a tarp.

"You should get some sleep you need it...ill stay up and keep watch" she explains.

I dont argue and i go make myself comfy inside of the shelter, its chilly for the middle of summer.

I woke up to the sound of grunts and growls, i crawl out of the tent and see jessie laying on the ground holding a zombie off of her reaching for her knife. I grab the machete she dropped and i kick the zombie off of her and stab it twice in the head. She just stares at me with wide eyes breathing heavily.

"Your welcome" i say.

She screams and moves out of the way. I feel someone push me backward and i fall to the ground i quickly spin around and two zombies fall on top of me, I squeeze the machete and run it through the zombies head getting covered in blood and dead zombies. Jessie pushes the zombies off and helps me up.

"We gotta get out of here, theres more coming" she says in an urgent voice.
