Surviving.

Chapter Four: Surviving.

Hey guys. I just wanted to say that i changed some of the character's names. Enjoy xD

"Alexander and I...we stuck together when all hell broke loose. We ran together to our houses and found them both empty. We thought they were maybe they were at City Hall, ya know 'cause that's where everyone was going. Just as we were leaving my own house, we heard a high-pitched scream; we both ran into my little brother's room to find both my parents bending over my little Jordan, eating him alive. 'NO!!!!!' I tried to run forward, but Alexander held me back and let me watch my undead parents eat my baby brother," I say as i let a few tears slip down my cheeks.

"I did it to protect you, Lainey." I hear Alexander say quietly.

"Anyways, a few weeks after that Alexander went out to get supplies....and i tried to tag along but he said that i couldn't. He never came back, and i left after a month or so. And i haven't seen him until he almost shot me in the face with a DB."

"A DB?" Zack asks with an eyebrow raised.

"A Double Barrel. It's a shotgun idiot," Alexander says rolling his eyes.

"Hey, i only own a revolver. Don't be judgmental." he shoots back.

"So how'd YOU survive for so long, Zack?" i ask curiously.

"By shooting every fuckin' walker that i came across. It took me about a week figure out that i had to aim for their heads."

"Only a week?! Holy crap, it took us like... 2 months to figure that out," i say wide-eyed.

"Maybe 'cause you were a prissy girl back then. Unlike this tough chick you are now," he chuckles lightly.

"Is that supposed to be an insult?" i say narrowing my eyes.

"Nope, you're definitely not what you used to be. You're way better."

~Later that night~

"I'm going out hunting, y'all." I yell from the hallway leading to the front door.

"OKAY BE BACK IN AN HOUR," Alexander yells loudly from his room.

"Will do," i mumble while walking out the door and into the darkness. 

"Shit." i say as i run straight into a tree, "fuckin' tree." I see movement from the corner of my eye and swing my gun towards it. It's a huge buck standing in the middle of the clearing with it's dark coal eyes looking into my soul. I close one eye and aim my pistol at it's large head, but before i can pull the trigger, a very pale hand reaches from behind me and snatches the gun from my grasp.

"HEY WHAT THE HEL-," i start to say but the hand covers my mouth and i hear a deep voice whisper in my ear,"do you want every walker in a 100 mile radius to come and find us, Shorty?" I pull myself out of his grasp and look up to see a tall blonde-haired guy with crystal blue eyes starring down at me.

"I'm not short. You're just a freakin' giant," i reply rolling my eyes.

"I'm Austen Dawson, by the way...you must be..?-" he says sticking out his hand for me to shake, "Lainey. Lainey Galoway." I reply shaking his hand slowly before wiping the dirt from his hand on my jeans.

"Gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl," he says winking. I mentally groan; this is gonna be a long night.
