It was a cool crisp night. Everyone was gathered around the small campfire that Ethan had built. No one else knew how to build one. Anthony looked around to everyone and said "If we are going to actually have a chance to

survive out here we are going to need to learn how to build a fucking fire, I mean does anyone even know how to hunt, or fish or anything?" Anthony looked at Brittany and started to raise his voice. "The only thing I care about is keeping her safe! I can't do that if we can't even learn how to survive!"

Adam, Nick and Chance all got up to go to their tents. Adam turned around. "We need to get some sleep, we shouldn't be arguing, first thing in the morning we will look for food. We can't live off of cans of beans forever." Adam said in a laugh trying to lighten the mood.

Adam, Nick, and Chance had all turned in for the night, it was barely midnight. "We need to establish who's taking watch." Darrion said in a concerning tone. Ethan looked at him and murmured. "We have two guns here, you have one and Anthony has one, we shouldn't be poppin' off rounds if we see something rattle, we have to conserve ammo."

Anthony looked over and whispered to Brittany, why don't you go to bed and take Lauryn and Beckah with you. We'll handle this." Brittany looked straight back at him and hugged him. "Goodnight Anthony." She said in a loving tone. Beckah, Lauryn, and Brittany all three shared a tent. There was only three tents and 9 of us.

Darrion looked over to Ethan and Anthony. "I'll take watch first, in about two hours I'll wake one of you up." Ethan and Anthony both yawned and said at the same time. "Fine with me." Darrion watched as they both unzipped the tent and got inside.

He looked straight down to the fire and said to himself. "This is going to be a long night." After about an hour of fiddling his thumbs Darrion heard rattling in some trees nearby and decided to see if it was someone taking a piss. As he approached the woods, he noticed something, these weren't just people they were walkers. He looked around and there were anywhere from 10-15. As he tried to run back to camp he slipped and fell, as one walker lunged at him.
