Roaming Of The Afterlife

No Mercy

With a sharp pain to my head, I sit up, pinching the bridge of my nose.

I look around only to see a few roamers still pounding their fists against the window. I take a deep sigh, I have to get moving, maybe if I search the corpse I will find some keys and run out through the back.

Maybe Aurei ran to the woods....maybe she's with someone....I can't sit there and be too stubborn for my own good.

I slowly get up, feeling my head slightly ache, but I walk towards the corpse, covering my nose and searching the pockets, I pull out a set of keys, I get up and walk towards the back door, opening it to see the sun shining down as usual. A couple of roamers are just staggering around, in the parking lot there was a truck, the paint about faded and one of the windows shattered.

I run towards it, opening the door with the keys in my hand and checking the back seat before getting comfortable, I close the door and toss my bag and gently placed my assault rifle against the passenger's seat. I use the other key to start the car, it cranks up and I put on my seatbelt, pulling out and driving out down the road, speeding my way out and going down another bridge.

After a couple more miles, I start seeing more trees, the car starts to slow down.

"Dammit." I mutter, stopping the car, I'm out of gas already.....I'll need to make a camp into the woods then travel in the morning.

I step out of the car, grabbing my bag and my revolver, I don't need the rifle, I'm out of bullets so it's pretty much useless now....tomorrow I'll have to travel on foot to find Aurei, she's probably in the woods.

I walk across the road and into the woods, looking around, there were a couple of dead deer, I close my eyes. Dad and I wouldn't kill any rabbits or deers that were ill. I shake my head and kept walking, only to hear a couple of voices.

I hide behind the bushes, taking out my dagger. There was a jug full of something that smells like gasoline. I pause but stay silent.

"Hey, I'll go look for the stuff Linette left out here, you check the place out, the last people left gasoline around here." I hear a man say, I peer at the woman with tousled black hair and pale skin who takes out her glock.

"I'll be back Beatrice, camp is nowhere far." The man in the beanie says and walks away. She walks around, I could feel my heart beating slowly against my chest.

She walks towards the tree.

"Fucking Carson, fuck the vipers, if it were up to me those people would already be dead....they're useless..." She mutters.

Aurei has mentioned that Cassie had escaped from these vipers, according to Cassie, they were bad people. No wonder she had that cut on her arm before she died...

Two roamers stagger towards her, she shoots one....then she keeps pulling the trigger, she's out of bullets but she takes out a dagger, stabbing it by the head and struggling to pull it out. I hear a rustle in the trees, she turns around and points her glock at the bush.

She's an idiot.

"Stand up." She said sternly. I do as she says, holding my hands up.

"C'mere." She orders, using her glock as she becons me to come closer, I slide my dagger down my pants, acting like I'm adjusting my clothes.

"Bring that bag too." She adds. I know that she only has a dagger for a weapon.

"I have food....we can split it....then we can go our separate ways." I said, pretending to be helpless and scared.

"Or I can kill you, take it all." She said, her voice hardened and full of complete cruelty, if I was actually helpless, I would've been pretty screwed.
