THE NIGHT THE DEAD STARTED WALKING

New Strangers

Merida*
For the next few weeks, Jack and I scraped up every thing we could. Punzie couldn't get all the medication she would like to get, but Hiccup was doing okay. We had almost lost him 3 times, but Punze did a good job in taking care of him. I knew she was stressed. She hardly got any sleep,so bags had shown up under her eyes. Hiccup on the other hand, slept like a bear. When we asked her if that was normal, she said sleep was the body's way to repair itself.
While Hiccup healed, he tried his best to work on a fake leg. He added all kinds of thinks to it,but he made it old school, kind of like a upgraded pirate leg. He was almost done with it, but Punzie insisted he couldn't put it on until he was completely healed, and he was close. His looked gross but slowly new skin was starting to form over the tissue and bone. I'd say about another month would be enough for him to heal completely.
....
"Find anything?"
" nope"I answered Jack.
We were looking for a few supplies before we left. Hiccup was healed and we were completely ready to get out of that house, even Toothless.
" where are we going now? " I asked.
" I don't know Hiccup wants to go out to the country and right now I think that's best."
I nodded.
I creeper snarled at me from the corner of the store we were scavenging. Luckily he was too weak to move. His legs were gone and so was one of his arms.
The creeper tried to reach out to me and I stared blankley at it, thinking of my parents and my remaining brothers.
" ok let's go.. There isn't much here" Jack said from behind me.
"Ok" I said and followed him as we walked out the store doors.

As soon as we were in a block away from the house, we knew something was wrong. A big black truck was parked right in front of it. Jack and I looked at each other before sprinting across the neighborhood. As soon as we got to the house beside our shelter we kneeled beside a small wooden fence and glanced up at the door. It was clear.Nobody was standing guard,but the door was little open. We closed the door on the way out, and I know Punzie wouldn't try to go out, not with Hiccup healing.
We heard some shouts but we couldn't clearly hear them. They were coming from inside our shelter. It was a male, but too deep of a voice to be Hiccup's.
" ok so.. we know Hiccup and Punzie are not alone.."
I nodded.
" we can sneak in through the basement.. Then catch them by surprise. The front door is open but I doubt these morons left it open and unattended.. And if they did then they're fucking stupid."
I nodded again.
"Well they are in the second floor so we're gonna have to silence anyone who is downstairs so they won't alarm anyone upstairs. We don't know if these people are really dangerous." I said.
Jack nodded and then took off. I followed him. Just like he said, we want through the basement. When we finally got to the first floor, Jack opened the door slowly and peeked through to make sure nobody was there. He turned around and gave me a thumbs up.
I left out a sigh of relief and followed his crouching form as we made our way to the stairs.
"GIVE THEM UP!"we heard the male voice.
" we need these supplies just as much as you ..sir please just leave us alone!" Punzie shouted back. Her voice was quivering.
She suddenly squealed loudly.
"LET HER GO! "Hiccup demanded. Then we heard what sounded like the butt of a gun making contact with a head.
" Punzie!"
I panicked and my heart and breathing froze. Please no.
After a few seconds of praying going to the stairs we saw a man right at the foot of them, holding a gun and standing guard, making sure nobody went upstairs .
" WHERE ARE THE DAMN SUPPLIES?!"
Jack grabbed the man from behind and covered his mouth. I grabbed my gun and hit him in the back of the head with it, knocking him out. Jack set him down quietly and we both sprinted up stairs as quietly as we could.
When we got up stairs, we saw Hiccup in his bed with his hands up in surrender, Punzie unconscious on the ground and a group of people either looking sad, frightened or angry at Hiccup. I took out my gun again and so did Jack. We crept up to them and then Jack grabbed the nearest person and put the gun up to his head.
"Peter!please don't!" A girl about our age begged.
" tell your friends here to stand down and we won't have problems." Jacksaid.
"Fuck you!" The guy named Peter shouted at him.
"Look pal dont think I won't pull the trigger. I'm not putting my gun up until you assholes stand down..Meri check Punzie."
I looked at Jack and then at the group. Everyone was looking at me. I crouched beside her and noticed a little bit of blood in her hair. I moved her hair and saw a small cut where she was hit. I checked her pulse. She was alive.
"She's ok" I said relieved.
" How about you Hic?"
"I'm fine."
" Guys please put the guns down.." The girl that had called for Peter said.
The group looked at each other and one by one they put their guns down.
" You better not shoot Grandpa" another man from the group said.
"If you keep it up with these smart remarks you're going down first. " Jack threatened.
After everyone had their guns down we put ours up also.
"Wait.. What did you guys do to John? "A woman that looked a few years older than us asked.
"He's fine" I said.
Punzie groaned softly and her eyes fluttered open.
" Punzie!" Jack shouted happily and crouched down embracing her in a hug. She smiled and hugged him back.
"Look we just need this ok? We're starving and some of us are injured. We need medications."
" Like I said before we need them just as much as you," Punzie said while Jack helped her up," do you see this man?" Punzie pointed at Hiccup.
" He needs medical attention also."
Punze then pulled Hiccups blankets down to reveal his "situation".
The group gasped.
" what happened? " Peter asked.
"He was bit" Jack said simply.
An Asian girl from the group pulled out a sword and walked towards him.
I grabbed my bow and without thinking I aimed at her.
"Don't. You. Dare." I snared.
She looked at me and stepped back.
"He's ok now.. We stopped the virus from going through out his body by chopping off his leg. " Jack explained. They just stared blankly at us.
So we started to explain everything to them.
It was like storytime for kindergarten.
