Surviving The Walking Dead

Ch:4 A Man in the Woods

The baby moved and it woke me up. I looked down at her big eyes and said "good mornin little ass kicker". She made a noise and began to squirm.

I took her out of the harness and let her stretch. Then I wrapped my jacket around her and Held her in my arms.Her belly started to growl so I poured some formula into the bottle. She drank away and chugged it down within minutes. After she was done drinking I changer her dirty diaper and threw it to the ground below.

I grabbed her and placed her into the harness. Then I put the harness on me making her be behind me. I grabbed my knife and stuck it in my boot. I also quickly grabbed my gun and stuck it in my pocket. I carefully crawled down the ladder and dropped my feet onto some leaves. I wish it wasnt fall anymore because I'm cold, but I want little ass kicker to be warm too.

I walked for what seemed like forever until I came across the store I left my water in. I havent eatten for 2 days and I havent had a drink in 4 days. I needed to get some liquid into me somehow or else I would dehydrate and die. I looked onto the glass window and saw a horde of walkers were i  the store. I looked back a walker free aisle and saw my case of water just sitting there. It was untouched and on the shelf right next to it was a box of crackers.

I was ready to go in, then I realized I had little ass kicker on my back. I walked around to the side of the building and seen a dumpster. I felt bad, but I needed food and water so I carefully set her inside of the dumpster. I made sure she fell asleep before I got out. I quietly closed the lid and said "I'll be right back ass kicker".

I ran to the front and opened the door. I quietly snuck inside and let the door close. A little bell went off above the door so I picked up a broken bottle and threw it past the horde. They all became alret and ran over to the bottle. I quickly ran to the case of water and grabbed it. Then I quickly grabbed the crackers then bolted out of the door.

I went around to the dumpster and seen about 3 walkers crowded around it. I could hear ass kicker crying inside so I dropped the water and crackers and pulled out my knife. I snuck up on one and stabbed it in the head. The second one walked after me, but I killed it before it could take 5 steps forward. The third one looked at me and charged. I wasnt prepared for this so it tackled me to the ground.

It snapped it's jaw at me when I got inches away from my face. I looked to the side and seen my knife laying on the ground about 3 feet away from me. I went to grab it, but couldnt reach. I quickly pulled out my gun and shot it through the side of the head.

I pushed it off of me and ran to the dumpster. I put the harness on and little ass kicker was safe with me again. The gunshot attracted walkers so they began to pour out of the store. I ran for the water and cut a hole in the bag. I grabbed 2 waters and tried to grab the crackers, but a walker decided to bite into it to see if it was food. The walkers spotted me and began to chase me. I tightened the harness and began to sprint. I held my waters and booked it to my tree stand. Little ass kicker was crying from all the motion, but I had to run or else we would both be attacked.

I finally reached the tree and climbed up the ladder. I set the water bottles down then took little ass kicker out of the harness. I comforted her and she stopped crying. I looked down and seen the walkers following my scent. They crowded around the tree for a few minutes then walked back to the road. I have never been more scared in my entire life.

I looked up at the sky and said "its about noon". Then I looked down at little ass kicker and said "lets get you fed". I again gave her the bottle and she gulped it down. I burped her then changed her diaper. I set her in the harness and put the harness on backwards so she was against my chest. I sang her a redneck song that I knew. I grew up in a trailer park nad act like a boy more than a girl. I knew so many songs growing up that us rednecks sang around the fire on friday nights. But they are all dead now so I need to stop thinking about that. I finished my song and that put her to sleep.

 I grabbed a water and greedily chugged half of it down. It felt so nice to have some water. My mouth wasnt dry anymore and my throat didnt hurt as much.

I was about to take a noon nap when I heard a stick snap in the distance. I took the harness off and carefully set her in the middle of the tree stand behind me. I picked up my crossbow and held it out towards the direction the noise came from. I could see feet so I took aim and fired a warning shot. My arrow hit the ground inches infront of him and he stopped walking.

I loaded my crossbow and got out of the tree stand. My stronge redneck talking voice asked "who's there"? I was surprised because another redneck voice replied back. It was a man.
