Difficult Decisions

After sundown

I had asked "Ryan, So do you think that things can almost all come back to normal?" He looked at me then said "Kid, honestly I don't think so. the state got hit hard then.....Who knows what's going to happen next." I replied "Yea, that might be true" I said quietly not even believing what I had said.

Ryan looked around for more items to pick up, but nothing at all was in sight. Ryan leaned up against the wall letting out an sigh "Kid, I guess we have to go somewere else for more food and water if we come back with this we might as well tell them we wasted ammunition for nothing.

So let us get going, I doubt we are going to find anything close with good stuff if this place didn't have much. So let's start on walking to another place alttile further from here. Oh, be on alert we might get caught up in something we don't have time to." I replied "Okay, lead the way.

Thirty minutes later.....

I felt tired, I wanted to sit down, also it did not help to find my self getting bored. I started thinking what will happen to me out here.

All the places we had passed looked so horrible like an twister happened during them four years I was in a metal box. I was terrified about what was out here, what I would have to face? Then it had started to get late. The skies had turned darker shade of gray.

I started to notice something, it was the same torn up footlocker store we kept passing. Then I finally decided to taped Ryan and let him know. But, the first time I tapped him on his shoulder he didn't look back.

Then I shook him this time a little bit rougher, nothing, I stoped then called his name after he did not answer. "RYAN! Are you ok" then he slowly turned around looking at me with sharp greenish teeth showing from top to bottom an small growl came out .

Then he started to foam at the mouth. Then his growl gotten louder till it sounded like an roar.

Next thing I know he came at me with full speed like an football player trying to get to the football.

Bam! I was slung off of my feet till I hit the ground with my back. I moved my arms then used my hands to keep him away from me as hard as I could. I couldn't help but to look up again.

Till I had gotten a full view of the drops of green saliva coming from his sharp yellow teeth mouth.

Then, ......BANG BANG....... BANG click click click both the green slimey and red blood mixture came out then splashed all over my gas mask and clothes. Lucky,

I couldn't smell what it would have smelled like because of the gas mask filter, sadly, I could feel it as it clinched to my skin from going though my clothes.

Then I wiped the slime off my mask with the sleeve of my shirt. So I can see again then I started lifted then push off the long nasty skinny white thing that in someway resembled an human. the one who I thought who was Ryan before he shown his teeth desire to eat me.

Then I looked up recalling my vision from the thing beside me. I began to feel as if someone was stareing at me. My eyes went up then seen Ryan stareing at me with concern.

"Kid, Are you alright you had me worried to death. Can you stand?" He asked me I replied still in shock "y-yea I think so." I attempted to get up then pain struck throughout my foot coming from my ankle dropping me off my leg back to the ground. Ryan said "OH God are you alright? And we need to kinda hurry Ive made way too much noise."

I said "I think i twisted my ankle when that thing used me as a tackle dummy, what was that thing I thought it was you i-it looked like you before you shot it." Ryan looked at me like I was joking then said "hmm are you sure because I have never seen that one before." "Yea I am sure it was in my face so yea, I'm pretty sure. "

Ryan said after a minute of slience" OK we got to go, but it's too dangerous to go back to the Hideout at night also worst with your twisted ankle. We will have to hide in one of these abandoned houses till moring." I just noded my head. Ryan helped me up then leaned me over towards him relieve pressure off of my foot.

We slowly walked to the nearest house hopeing it wasn't locked. We had arrive to the front door with an mat in front of the door saying "welcome home" with blood stains all over it.

That can really welcome someone . Ryan added "yea, luckily the door is unlocked. Stay on guard we do need to focus on staying alive, we even might meet those Mutans again." "Yea, want me to help search the house?" I asked

"No kid, you stay here I'll be back an well camp out in here when I get back." Ryan took me to the ripped brown couch then went into the other rooms to make sure it was safe. Then I thought to myself I had to go twist my ankle now I feel soo unless!!

Ugh why do- something caught my eyes. A weapon I loved to use before the attack happened 4 years ago, I was also the best in my archery class so I knew how to use it. It was an pretty black and white camouflage compact bow with an gear like circle on both ends of it and the middle looked like an awesome design. What made it so awesome it came with 30 arrows with the peices.

I hobbled over there to grab the bow and arrows it was amazing to touch the cold feel of an strong deadly weapon in my hand. Thing to these bows you had to have arm strength to use it. Luckily I have been working my arms over 4 years. so I had courage in my strength. I had put it to an test.

I had took an deep breath in and out then I grabbed an arrow put it to the string then pulled it all the way out then held and aimed it to the middle of this fat stained red pillow then released. Wosh..... it flew out fast and hit straight through the middle of the pillow into the couch top.

My eyes was wide while a smile stretched across my face. I just noticed that Ryan had been watching me then he started to clap. That was cool kid how you learn to use that. I told him what I used to do when I was little as I went to rest my foot.

The pain started to worsen Ryan said he found some bandages for my foot he wrapped my foot. He would not let me wrap it myself. So he wrapped up my foot then Ryan said "when we get to The Hideout they will fix it better than it is right now, and I found whole bunch of water and food and filled both of our bags. let's go ahead and just get some rest."

" I will stay an watch for the night. I said to him no let me stay up you did a lot I'll wake you if something goes wrong. Are you sure kid, you don't have to stay up now. It's OK I won't fall alsleep." He said "thanks kid, you can be really reliable see you in the morning night." I replied "night."

7 hours later.......

I'm thinking to myself to keep me awake. Ahhh I yawned, man this is boring but I managed to stay up till sunrise. But his words stuck to me as "I looked at the sun don't stay out passed sundown if you know what's best for you."

I got up then shooked Ryan he sprung up with wide eyes. "Kid,what's wrong?" I said "it sunrise we need to get back to the Hideout."

"Oh snit, grab your bow and arrows found plus that backpack fill of water and food we have to go I got mine." After that we went out the door blinded by the sun greeting us with it's bright light-.
