Rosie's POV

Days have passed, and it's been pretty rough for us. We haven't found another place to stay in and it's exasperating. Grayson's leg is healing, slowly, but it's a lot better than it was before. It was nighttime now and everyone was fast asleep.

I kept staring at the night sky and thought about my family, I miss them more than anything right now. I wish I knew how they were, and if they're okay or alive. I'll do anything just to see them one last time. My thoughts went on and on until my eyes started dropping and I drifted to sleep.

"Rosie! Help!" I heard Eleanor's voice shout.

I became alert and started running  following Eleanor's terrified voice. I was so confused, I had no idea what was happening. We were being attacked and I couldn't find anyone, I could only hear voices.

My mind was racing as I ran as fast I could to find El. I was already worried.

"ROSIE." I heard her voice from behind me.

I turned around and saw Eleanor looking at me, petrified. Her face was pale and her eyes were bloodshot red, she looked frozen. I slowly approached her, and it felt like time stopped. I took a deep breath and caressed her cheek that was stone cold. "El?" I whimpered, and all of a sudden she fell to the ground and I came face to face with an infected.

It's piercing eyes looked at me as if it were killing me with its looks. I screamed as loud as I could-

"AHH!" I exclaimed.

It was all just a dream.

I was okay, everyone was still asleep. I let out a breath realizing , that I was sweating like crazy. I decided to use my sweater to wipe the sweat off my forehead. My mind still couldn't process how scary my dream was, and it was just surreal.

My eyes wandered around the dark night sky, the fire was my only source of light. Grayson was sleeping by the tree across from me, Eleanor and Ethan were cuddled up together by a log, so was Jack and Nicole. Basically everyone was asleep, except for me.

I let out a relief sigh and laid back down. It's all just a dream, Rosie. I decided to close my eyes and get some sleep again until -

skrr skrr

What the hell was that? My head perked up and looked around my surroundings once again. There was nothing. But the sound came from- I immediately turned around and saw that there was an infected just two inches away from me.

I gasped loudly and the infected ran towards me. I panicked and let out a very loud scream, waking up a few of the others. But the infected was coming for me, not them. It wanted to end me, not them. And I was done being scared.

My hands roamed around trying to look for something to defend myself from the bastard, while I tried to pry it off me with my legs. "HELP!" I shriek.

I couldn't hear much, but the weird noises the infected makes. I felt a sharp object beside me and I realized it was my dagger. I grabbed it as fast I could and put all my strength and pushed the infected as hard as I could to the ground.

When it was pinned down, I put all the force in my hand and stabbed it hard in the chest multiple times. I slashed at it and screamed. I didn't even realize how hard I was crying, until I felt someone pull me from behind. My head turned around and I noticed it was Gilinsky.

"LET ME GO!" I cried.

"Rosie, stop. You're gonna hurt yourself even more!" He says, holding me tight.
