Cam Parker also known as 7 was the best sniper known to her friends. Even after 3 years of the apocalypse, she manages well.
18 was a pretty well age for this but when your alone, times could be better. Soon she finds this group but doesn't announc...
A hoard, just what I needed, I pushed 10K up the steps as the Z's attempted to break down the door. "Were dead." He stated once we got to the roof. "No, just me." I murmured, he looked at me. "Jump and grab the ladder, I'll lead them off. Garnett and them are just on the border of the town." I stated, he shook his head breathing heavily. "I'm not leaving you." I walked up to him. "Stop being an idiot and jump, I'll jump after you if you want. We'll make it." He swallowed a lump in his throat and looked at the ledge, he looked back at me and we heard the door on the verge of breaking. "Ok, but jump straight after me." I gave him a quick hug and let him go, he turned and jumped. I kneeled at the edge and watched as he grabbed the ladder by the steel platform. "Your turn!" He called as he hopped to the ground, I sighed and walked away from the ledge as I heard the door break. I grabbed my old MP3 and turned it on. I'm not going with him, I sang to the words as it might be my last ones. I ran to the other ledge and got ready to jump, the Z's staggered up the wood steps. I jumped, I made an X with my arms across my chest, I kept my legs straight as I fell. I landed on the ground with a thud, I coughed as dust rose from the gravel. "We'd rather die than do it your way!" I sang running from the Z's chasing after me, I heard the roar of a truck. The group. I didn't care. I ran the opposite way, probably to my death, I took a quick right and ran into an ally way. I ran forward looking back till my body hit a brick wall. I couldn't climb it, that was impossible. I turned around and saw the hoard of Z's, crap. This was the end for me...
-10K's POV
"Your turn!" I called once I hopped down to the ground, she just turned away. I tried to wait for her but a bit of Z's came my way, I couldn't get them all. I ran away, I ran with all my force, having the belief that Cam was running behind me. After what it felt like running a couple miles, I saw the truck, the group yelling at me to run faster. "Come on kid!" Doc yelled, I dove into the bed and the truck drove off. I breathed heavily and wiped the sweat from my forehead. "Where's 7?" Addy asked, me, Addy, Mack and Doc were in the bed. "She- she saved me." I breathed out, Doc gave me my canteen and Addy started to cry in Mack's arms. "Did you have to give her m-mercy?" Cassandra asked, I shook my head. "No, we were being chased by a hoard. We ran to the roof but the Z's were breaking in, she said that I had to jump, and grab the ladder. That she would follow after me, but when I did, she turned back and went the other way. That was a bit after the Z's broke into the building." Addy cried more and I saw a bit of tears brimming Mack's eyes, Doc had a tear or two trail down. "Where are we?" I asked, Doc sighed. "Somewhere between New York and California."
-4 days later/ Cams POV (Yayyyy)
Me and Jason have been on the road for some time, after he saved me from those Z's a few days back, we grew a great friendship. As we drove in his dark red truck, I saw a bit of his dirty blond curls sticking out from under his hat.

"So, if we go to the CDC or some lab, you think we'll be safer?" He gave me a quick glance then turned his eyes back on the road. "Safer? No, we'll be safe." He stated pushing a bit more on the gas. "There's no such thing as safe anymore, only not safe or safer." I stated, he sighed. "Well, yah but at least they'll have guards or something so we might be safe." Jason and I have a tight bond, we share commons, something I really only shared with Doc and 10K. But who knows, 10K might be dead, but I know he isn't. If I was the one that helped him out, and with his skills, there is no doubt he is alive. "Should we pull over to get some rest, it's getting dark." He said, I look as the sun had started to set. "Let's drive a bit further, we still have daylight to burn." He laughed and pushed more on the gas, I laughed and held the railing. "Jason! Not so fast!" I called, he laughed and slowed down a bit. "What, you scared?" He cooed, I hit his shoulder. "Mate, I ain't scared of anything." "Prove it." I giggled as he sped up, I rolled down my window and climbed out. The wind beating on me, I grabbed the railing and put my feet on the foot railings. "See, I ain't scared!" I shouted over the wind, he gasped. "Get in here before you hurt yourself." He called back, I climbed back in and laughed at his face. "I ain't scared mate." I added again, he chuckled and the truck slowed to a stop. "Outta gas." He stated, I rested my forehead on the dash and he rubbed the back of my shoulder. "You okay?" He asked, I let out a shaky breath. "Just thinking about my old group, I'll get over it." He sighed and I lifted my head up, he gave me caring blue eyes and I smiled. "I'll look for some gas, make a fire so I can find my way back." He grabbed my arm before I could leave. "You sure? I could go if you want." He let go of my arm. "It's alright, I'll also look around a bit, gave me like 30 minutes." He looked around at the sun about to leave the horizon. "Okay, but be careful." I nodded and cocked my rifle. "Always." He smirked and got out as I did, I made my way down the road, admiring the blue sky fading to the bright, neon lights.
I left the gas station I had found, inside I had found an extra bag, 3 protein bars, 1 water bottle, 4 shells, a few tiny knifes and a half a container of gas. As I was close to the truck I saw the glow of the fire Jason started, I smiled as I walked to him. "Got some food for us. We can each have 1 1/2 of protein bar." He nodded and I tossed him one. "I found some Z's around here so I piked 'em." He said taking a bite of his food, I nodded and opened mine. "There were some Z's around the buildings I went through so I killed 'em." I stated giving Jason the other bar so he could split it. After we were done he split the last one and, like always, gave me the bigger half. "Thanks." I said and took a bite, he nodded and looked around. "Why do I have the feeling like were being watched?" He asked, I looked around. "I hate staying in pitch black woods, and camping with my pa doesn't count." He stood getting hand gun, I got my rifle and we put our backs together, circling around, guns raised. A Z emerged from the trees from my side so I sighed. "Slow Z." I stated, he turned and let out a breath of relief, I went up and piked the Z. "I'll take first watch, I'll wake you up when it's your turn." Jason said, I turned to him, wiping some blood off my face. "I mean, I can take first watch. I don't sleep that much." I stated, he smirked. "And that's why I'm taking first watch." I wrapped my arm around his neck and gave him a hug while smiling. We pulled away and I unrolled my sleeping bag, I slipped in and zipped it up. Due to the comfy-ness of the warm sleeping bag, my body was in a hurry to fall asleep.
