The Walking Miles

Ch. 2 Left Behind

         "W-What should we do?" I said panicking. "I mean, uhm. Well we can't just stay in here obviously!" Cloud said grabbing a apple and water bottle. He exited the vehicle and closed the door he limped to the back of the car, grabbing his wheelchair. "Cloud, what are you doing!" I said looking back and forth tapping on the car wheel. "Obviously leaving, we can't just stay in the car!" Cloud said opening my door. The walkers were getting a lot closer to us I was quick to exit the car. "Which way...?" Cloud said looking around.

          "I don't remember the directions were at, just. The way with the least amount of walkers!" I said looking at the sun going down. "Okay, well this way I guess." Cloud said as we ran off, well I ran, and he followed close behind in his wheelchair, into a random direction. "This isn't the way we came from right?" I said nervously. "I don't think so..." Cloud said slightly struggling to kill one of the walkers. "We need to be quicker, they're following us." Cloud said panting as he wheeled ahead, as I followed behind.

         "I'm trying!" I said panting as I ran behind him. A walker was getting close to me. I quickly stabbed in into the head with my knife. As I tried pulling the knife out of the walkers decayed looking head it wouldn't budge to come out. Other walkers were getting closer. I kept trying to get the knife out of its stupid head! "Ugh, seriously, come on!" I said giving all my power TRYING to get the knife to budge.

          It wasn't budging. The walkers were almost in my reach. I looked up. Around. Where is Cloud? "Cloud!" I yelled panicking as I ran into the direction we were heading off to. I still couldn't see him. I kept running, and running. Eventually the walkers were out of sight. I sat down by a tree. Panting, and panting. "Oh my gosh... Did he seriously leave me to?" I said in frustration catching my breath.

          The sun was setting, the moon was rising. The only good thing about that, is that it wouldn't be as hot. There was so many bad things though cause it was turning dark... "Cloud!" I yelled once more to see if he was nearby. Nope... I started to run again, trying to find a type of shelter before it went completely dark. As I was running I saw a nearby car. I quickly ran up to it. Before I opened the door I looked up at the sky. "Please lord let it have keys and some gas!" I said desperately as I opened the door and a decaying body fell out. "Argh!" I said slightly afraid. I quickly kicked the body away like it was a piece of trash.

            I sat in the dust filled seat. I looked around for the keys I leaned over opening a department in the car. The keys fell out onto the floor. "Ugh." I said rolling my eyes. I closed the door behind me and looked up. There was a swat car approaching. I quickly started to panic I climbed over into the backseat and tried to fit under the backseat as much as I could. I heard the swat car stop. I sat in complete silence. It was quiet as the desert. Then I heard the swat car door close. So did a other door open from it. Then I heard footsteps coming my way.

        "Fuck..." I said trying to squish my self deeper under the backseat. I saw the front door open. He leaned into the car looking. Then when his face turned to a angle I actually figured out it was a girl. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail. Not even the point... She closed the door. Then opened the backseat door. My heart started pumping, I could hear it. My palms were getting sweaty. She closed the door. "Clear." I heard her say to someone. Then all I could hear was mumbling. It made me nervous.

          I wiped the sweat off my face. Trying to hear them more. All I could hear then was the swat car drive off. I let out a deep breath of relief. Then the front door to, this car opened. It was the same girl. "Now where is the keys...?" She said looking into each department grabbing supplies. She grabbed the keys from the floor once she spotted them. She turned the car on. Then she started to drive off. I don't know where to.
