Matt awoke with a gasp, hissing as the pain in his leg reminded him of the situation he was in. He peered over the edge of the cliff he was currently laying on and saw only darkness, "Alex! Tom!" he yelled and groaned in frustration when he got no response. A gurgling groan from off in the distance made him aware of the fact that there were numerous members of the undead roaming around. He cursed under his breath and got up with clenched teeth, his leg sending sharp stabs of pain up and into him. He limped off in the direction of the nearby city. Catching the scent of blood, the creatures soon began staggering after him. Hopping as fast as he could, Matt turned a corner to find himself at a dead end alley. He turned around to try and leave but the infected were already flooding the entry. He backed up until his back hit the end of the alley and shut his eyes to prepare for his coming death.
Hearing a sudden thud in front of him, Matt peeked open one eye to see the silhouette of someone standing a few meters before him. Guarded by shadows so he couldn't see who it was. Suddenly he was off like a shot, he became a blur as he sliced and hacked his way through the crowd. When everything fell silent he heard footsteps coming closer to him and he shut his eyes again.
"If you're going to kill me please just make it quick" Matt whimpered, falling to his knees and bowing his head.
"I'm not going to kill you, If I wanted you dead I would have just let them get to you, wouldn't I?" The voice in front of him said.
"I guess you have a point, thanks by the way... for you know...saving me" Matt told him with a blush, looking up at the shadow that stood just outside the ring of light that a small light bulb above him cast. A hand reached out of the shadow for him to grab, Matt looked at it with hesitation before stretching out his own hand to grab the offered one.
