[Charlottes POV]
I walked around the burning house slowly, where are we?
'I've never seen this place before.' Daryl gulped. 'I thought I had searched everywhere too.'
I nodded. 'But what happened here?'
'Walkers.' A voice coughed.
We turned quickly, I jumped up and landed into Daryls arm as a familiar boy looked into my face.
He looked skinnier and his face was covered in blood, mud and black soot.
He wore his usual stripped long sleeve t-shirt like I expected with faint blue, scruffy jeans and converts to match.
'Then the boss turned on us.' He coughed. 'Again. Everyones dead. Everyone but me.'
'Oh Ben.' I whispered and ran at him quickly, enclosing him in my arms.
[Paytons POV]
I ran down the stairs, knocking down the first walker in my path, it fell backwards again pulling all the walkers down with it.
I've used that twice now.
I might use it much more often.
I reached the bottum and was shocked, it was basically a room of plastic, plastic curtains hanging from the curtains, plastic bags everywhere I looked filled with bits of cotton wool with blood all over, blood also stained the ceiling, floor and all four walls.
It was huge down here, and I could see several doors at the side which probably lead to just as large rooms.
I kept in action as walker after walker charged at me.
Don't call me ungrateful but a pocket knife and an underwater pistol is cutting this by a very thin slice right now.
'Payton!!' A voice shouted upstairs as I let out a little squeal as one walker got a little to close for confort.
'I'm fine!!' I grunted as I shoved a dead walker the other direction so it didn't land on me.
Suddenly, my underwater pistol clicked and I snarled.
Out of bullets already? Thats pathetic.
I threw the gun to the ground and focused entirely on the knife.
This is one of those times were I would like my old shitty bow.
I span quickly, knocking several walkers down in confusion as I went, then I stabbed my arm forward, I pierced through several heads and some walkers fell down.
Their acid like blood dribbled down my knife and onto my wrist.
I hissed in pain as the acid bubbled.
Shit!
I quickly rubbed the blood against my trouser legs, making sure to get every drop.
If any walker blood gets in my system then I become a walker, just like my family.
'Payton!!' A feminine voice called. 'I'm coming down.'
Was that Demi?
'No need!' I called and stabbed forward again, making sure after to point the knife downwards so the blood dribbled off and not down my wrist.
'I have guns.' She called back.
I paused. 'Hurry.'
Suddenly, Demi fell at my side, dead walkers piled around us.
She slipped a gun out her pocket and handed it to me.
'One thing I know is how to fight. I was went boxing when I was younger, and cadets, I know the basics and shit.' She laughed as she shot a walker through the head.
