Hush little baby

Chapter 9

Alice's POV

I had filled a bag with food and water and gathered my self some weapons. I had 2 guns and a knife. I had packed bullets and what we had that I needed. I wasn't convinced it would do much but it's the best I could do.

Now I guess I had to find a new safe place. That's the goal for now.

I walked away from the scene without looking back.

I wanted to go back the way we came, to try and get back to that shelter. It was crazy how that shelter felt like home now.

~~~

I had been walking for what felt like hours. I hadn't seen anything. The country side is quiet,  they all went to the city where the most noise was; due to people escaping.

Most got infected in the city so the city is where they are all at, even though now I'd imagine they'd be started to spread out and back to the country side.

I suddenly began to hear the noise. The noise of a rotting airway and an dull mind. The noise of a blank.

A knew not to shoot as the noise would attract more so I pulled out the knife and took a deep breath in. There was a corner as to ware I was walking and I knew something was behind it. It only sounded like one which is good.

I hadn't been face with this before, now was my first time, I was scared shitless but my mothers words just spun around my mind

I moved away slightly and held the knife up as I came to the corer and walked around slowly.

Instantly I saw one. It wasn't too badly decayed, it was fresh, it was missing an arm and I could see a patch of maggots on it. It saw me and instantly began to stumble over, it's jaw twisting as it was eger to get to my flesh.

I took another deep breath in and held the knife a little higher. It got closer and i got ready to just go in with it.

Before I had the change to process a plan my arm seemed to just go straight into the It's eye, it popped slightly and soon blood began to pour down its face. I pulled out again and it still was going. I ran slightly back and started to take deeper breaths.

It came for me again. I ran around to the back off it and before it had the chance to turn around I just slammed the knife into the skull with all the force I could. I herd the skull crack and soon the thing fell to the floor and blood began to run onto the grass

I stared at it with my chest rising. I then threw myself forward and threw up the little stomach content I had before falling to the ground next to the body and puddle of blood and began to cry. I knew this is what I had to get use to but I didn't know if I ever could.

I tried so hard to push my self up with my mothers words. I took a few deep breaths and dried my eyes. I needed to get back on track.

I walked to the thing and pulled my knife out of its skull. I scraped the knife along the floor to clean it off before putting it though my belt strap.

I then raised my head and carried on walking, trying to keep my head up high and just carry on. I tried to block out what just happened.
