[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.
