Its A Cruel World (Book 1 Completed)

Chapter 1

I duck behind a large pick up truck and grab my rifle. I grab my arm as it bleeds from jumping off the fire shoot. Too many Z's. This was it. I aim my rifle straight to the zombies head and pull the trigger. One down a 30 more to go. I shoot another and another. But rifle stops. I was out of bullets. I guess it really was the end. I throw my gun and jump on top of the hood of the truck. "OKAY YOU EVIL SONS OF BITCHES. IM DONE. YOU WANT ME?...COME GET ME" I yell and close eyes. Everything he quiet and I assumed I was dead.
That was it. Everything was over and I can finally be free. I can finally see them again.

************************
My eyes shoot open and quickly sit up, grabbing my arm in pain. "Ahh" I yell I'm pain. I look around the room and my gun and leather jacket sitting neatly on a chair. I was in an old room on a bed. There was a boy sitting on the foot of the bed facing the opposite direction. "Who are you? Why am I here?" I ask angrily. He stopped wiping down his rifle but didn't say anything.

"Are you deaf or something. Why am I here? WHO ARE YOU?" I ask angrily. He stands up but still doesn't turn. "10k" he says. "What?" I ask. "My name. 10k" he says then finally turns around. He had dark hair and bright blue eyes. He was actually really cute. But hey...can't think like that in a world like this. My head starts pounding and I rub my forehead. I look down at my arm and see that the once deep cut was sewn and cleaned.

"You stitched me?" I ask rubbing my eyes. "Not me. Doc did" he says setting his rifle on the table and grabbing a cup of water. He motions for me to take it. I just shake my head but he motions again. "You lost a lot of blood. You need to drink" he says and i finally take the cup. "You were almost lunch. You were passed out on the hood of a truck. Few more seconds and..." he drags on. My eye brow raise then drop as I roll my eyes. "Should have just let me die" I whisper quietly so he wouldn't hear.

"Well, this was a nice chat and all but I'll be going now" I say throwing off the blanket and standing up. I grab my jacket and rifle and walk to the door. The door opens before and a dark haired girl looks at me. "Nice to see you standing on you own sleeping beauty" she says sarcastically and then looks to 10k. "The Z's are closing in 10k. We need to move now" she says and he nods. Once she leaves I grab the door and was about to walk out when he grabbed my arm.

I turn around and look at him in those deep eyes. I sigh in annoyance and shift my weight to one foot. "Look...I saw how you got head shots on those zombies from 1000 feet away. I think we can really use you with us. We can keep eachother safe. My team and I would really appreciate it." He says and I look down thinking. "... Where you heading?" I ask. "California." He states and I take a deep breath. "Alright...I gotta get to Nevada so I guess I'll stay till we get there." I state and he smiles.

We walk out and I see a bunch of people sitting and reloading their ammunition. a red haired girl stand up. "This is doc, Warren, Murphy, Mac, and I'm Addy" she says and I wave and look to 10k. "Well... What's your name?" She asks. "Oh...um..cat" "well this had been a nice meet and greet here but we really need to go" a blueish skinned man says who I assumed was Murphy.

"For once he's right. We gotta go" Warren says everyone grab there stuff and we head out to the truck in the front yard. Warren doc and Murphy ride in the front and Addy, Mac and I hop in the back and drive away.

"So are you and 10k like a thing or something?" Addy asks out of nowhere. "What? No!" I say. "Oh..sorry" she says and laughs. "Uh, can I ask you a question about him though?" I ask. Mac and Addy both nod and I look through the window of the back of the truck and see 10k. "His he always so...stubborn? Like doesn't take no for an answer?" I ask and they shake there head. "No.... Actually he hadn't really talked much since you got here" Mac says say I nod my head surprisingly. Well... That's nice to know.
