I could feel the blood pounding in my head. My legs where on the edge of giving out and the animalistic noises where getting louder.
I fell back, hitting the ground hard. A sharp piece of glass scrapped my shoulder making me cry out in pain. The hoard was closer now. I was seconds from being ripped apart.
I reached out and grabbed my gun that had slid a few feet away. Once I reached it I quickly aimed and took out two of the figures running at me. I went to shoot a few more but missed. I pulled the trigger again but the gun just clicked.
Shit.
I was out of ammo. What the hell do I do? I was panicking. I tried to get up but my knees buckled beneath me. This is where I die.
Five years.
I made it five whole years in this hell hole.
My fingers found the knife I found while scavenging for food, in my back pocket. I took a deep breath and threw it toward the nearest attacker.
Miraculously, it hit the resurrected woman in the forehead and she fell to the ground. Her body slowed down the rest of the group as they shuffled over her towards me.
With a sudden rush of adrenaline I found myself on my feet running away from the deadly pack.
I was running through the woods. I had been running for about an hour, I was covered in mud and my clothes clung to my skin. I haven't seen any sign of danger for a while but I was still worried.
I really needed to sleep. I was exhausted.
I climbed up into the nearest tree and tucked my knife into the front pocket of my shirt. I tied my right leg to the tree branch to prevent myself from falling.
I woke up to the sound of Ramona yelling my name.
"Cas! Castia!"
I groaned and started to climb down the tree.
"Over here." I yelled.
"I've been looking for you for hours. What the hell happened? I woke up and you were gone!" She yelled angrily. "Seriously? What the hell Cas?"
"Shit I'm sorry, I lost you guys and ran in to a huge horde."
"Are you hurt? Jasper and Johnny lost their shit when we can back with out you."
"Im fine and I need to tell them to stop being such babies."
"Whatever, come on let's get back to camp." She laughed
I jumped down from the tree and we walked for about twenty minutes before reaching an old church. It was white and fairly large. What ever town this was pre apocalyptic was defiantly a religious one.
As we started to get closer to the house we saw Tyler and destiny run outside with guns pointed at us until they realized it was us. When they did Tyler ran inside to tell everyone and destiny ran towards us.
"Ramona you found her! We thought you were gone. "
"Nah I'm still here for now." I smiled at her.
"Im glad your safe."
"Me too."
When we came inside I was Jonathan pulled me into another room. He looked pissed. "What the hell Cassie? How could you be so careless?" He yelled at me, his dark brown eyes almost entirely black. "Im fine aren't I? I can handle myself." I retorted.
"
We were so worried. You could have died."
" You need to relax john. It's not like it won't happen eventually. Im surprised I even lasted this long"
He gripped my wrist and I tryed to back away, "don't you ever say that Castia. We won't let you."
"You can't save everyone. And that includes me." I whispered.
