Why the world stopped turning

Chapter 4: The strangers

Marc's POV

I never realized how pretty Amalie was until we were running from a hoard of walkers in the middle of Atlanta. Her black hair flew behind her as we sprinted towards the cabin. Amalie

suddenly turned left."What are you doing" I yelled.

"We can't lead them to the cabin"She shouted back. I started to follow her then I made the mistake of looking back at the hoard. There was a lot more than we started with. They probably started following us as we ran. I almost screamed.

We soon out ran the walkers, but we didn't dare stop running. We were at the edge of Atlanta , when the rest of Atlanta's walkers appeared blocking our escape. I looked around and saw a shop.

I pointed to it. Amalie saw it, showed Shayda and we ran. I threw open the door. They hurried inside in front of me. I slammed the door shut behind us. I looked around and pushed a heavy arm chair in front of it.

I turned around to see a gun barrel in my face. I frantically looked around for Shayda and Amalie. I saw them unconscious on the ground. I was hit very hard on the head. That last thing I saw before I blacked out was Shayda and Amalie on the ground.

Shayda's POV

While Marc was blocking the door someone had hit me in the head with a baseball bat. I fell to the floor. When I woke up I was in the back of a truck. I was tied up. I glanced around and saw Amalie and Marc were still unconscious. Strangely no one was back here watching us. I wiggled over and kicked Marc until he woke up.

Once he saw where we were he tried to yank his hands out if the robe that bound them behind his back. His ropes were thicker than mine. I motioned to my hands(we were gagged and couldn't talk). He saw what I meant and wiggled so we were back to back.He slowly untied my ropes. After my hands were free, I took of my gag and untied my feet. I walked over to Marc and took of his gag. "Wake up Amalie"He said.

I went over to Amalie. When I was about to shake her I noticed a bloody gash on her forehead. It was obvious she went down with a fight. I didn't know to wake her or not because it might start hurting her, so I went back over to Marc. I untied him and showed him Amalie's injury. He shook her as awake. She woke up with and moaned. "What happened to your head?"

"To make a long story short. While you were getting knocked out I was fighting back. So they hit me in the head with a large stick."She replied bitterly.

"Well look who's awake" Said a deep voice. We looked up and saw a man watching us. We stood up and glared at him.

" Why are we in here" Marc yelled at him.

"You brought two large hoards toward our hiding place. Your lucky we didn't throw you out to them"

"You'll be lucky if I don't kick you off this truck "Amalie growled.

"Ha it's my truck"

"Yet I'm the one that has longer legs" The man was silent. We rode to wherever they were staying. All the time glaring at him.

"Where's my katana?"I said.

" Its in the front of the truck with Evan. He's driving." The man said. clearly happy to change the subject from him being kicked off the truck by Amalie. "What are your guys names?"

"Marc, Amalie and I'm Shayda. What's your name?"

"Jason" He said as he looked out."We're here" The truck stopped in front of a large high school.

"There is no way you cleared all of this" I said as I climbed out of the truck. I was going say something else, but I saw Evan. He was really cute. I looked away before he caught me staring. He handed me my katana and Amalie her machete and Marc his hunting knife.

"It took a long time" Evan said"Come on". We followed him in and I was surprised to see there was only 4 or 5 people."We lost about 7 people coming while coming here and while we were clearing it." He looked sad for the rest of the tour."So what do ya think?"

" I think your pretty" I said before I could stop myself. I blushed and pretended to be interested in the floor. Marc and Amalie were laughing their heads off. Evan just smiled." Oh shut up Marc we all know you have a huge crush on Amalie" Marc glared at me while Amalie laughed so hard she fell on the floor.

"Why don't I introduce you guys to the others" Jason said coming up behind Evan. They walked down a hall and walked in to the office. They called everyone to the office. A few minutes later five people walked into the office. There was an old man, two women, a little boy and one of the women was holding a baby in a pink blanket.

" This is Harold, Kelly, Conny, Blue, and Kacie." Everyone shook hands with the new comers. Jason showed us to our rooms and I was asleep in five seconds.
