Here Without Choice: Book 1

Chapter 2

Two weeks on the run now. Being chased by flesh eating monsters that were once humans. I had been by myself for about a week and half. My siblings, glenn and I were seperated at the beginning of all this chaos. I hope that one day I will find them and that they will be safe. 

I sit here by the fire and keep watch. These days anymore, I dont get anymore sleep. I do not have anybody to keep watch for me so I can get proper sleep. I was staring off into space when I heard a noise. I immediately grab my bow and and a couple of arrows out of the quiver. I had found these laying on the ground a few days ago.  I had turned around and there was about a dozen flesh eating monsters. There was way too many for me to kill by myself so I grabbed my quiver and my Nike bag and took off at a dead sprint. 

I had been running for about and hour now and the flesh eating monsters are still right behind me. How? I do not know. I was seriously out of breath and about ready to pass out. Black dots had kept appearing in my eyes but I had forced myself to keep running. Mother nature was obviously not on my side because graceful me tripped over one of the tree roots that were sticking out. I just layed there because there was nothing I could do without my knife which I dropped a long time ago. Yes, I dropped my knife in the middle of no where do not judge me okay. My gun was out of bullets and well my bow was too far away from me. The flesh eating monsters were getting closer by the second.  I stood up to try and hold my ground the best I could but of course one them had to come from the behind and take me back down to the ground.

I had just rolled over in time to grab it shoulders and keeping it from biting me. But the rotten smelly flesh just kept peeling off making the hungry monster closer to my neck.  I was about to just let go of the monster and let it have its way. But then a then a bright orange and yellow arrow peirced through it's head  The dead body was taken off of me and I was helped up by man. The man had dirty blond maybe it was brown not 100 percent sure on the hair color, blue- green eyes and was a couple inches taller then I was. The man had helped me up. I ususally dont talk to stangers but I felt the need to thank him and so I did.

"Th-thank you, for saving me" I said with a stutter not meaning for it.

"Nah don't me thank me, just be glad that I saved you I could have just left you to die." The man said

Even though he was kind of a dick I proceded to ask him what his name was.

"What is your name," I said

"Daryl Dixon, yours," he said.

"Hazel Bunker"

"That is a very Pretty name, Do you have a group or a few people that you are supposed to be with" he said. 

"No, I do not have a group or people that I am supposed to be with. I was at work when this all happened My friend and two siblings were gone when I was able to get back to the house. Stuff was missing like food, pictures and cloths. So I assumed that they were long gone. I am hoping that I will get to see them again"

"Oh, I sorry about them leaving you. If you want you can come join our group we have around 15 people in our group. For the most part everybody gets along with each other and we have plenty of room for you to join us I believe." 

"I would love to stay somewhere for a couple of days to get some rest. Once I have enough rest I will so that way i'm not a burden to the group."

"Girl, you won't be a burden to the group, you can stay with us forever."

"Well, lets try a couple of nights and see how it goes and lets see if everybody likes me first."

"okay"

"Well lets get head that way before the sun goes down"

"okay"

We had been walking for what seemed like hours. Maybe it was maybe it wasnt but I couldn't help but think about my siblings and Glenn. I really hope they are okay and still alive. My siblings didnt need this in there life. The more and more I think about it everybody is here without choice this world has gone to crap in  matter seconds.  

"If you don't mind me asking where were you heading," He said interupting my thoughts. 

"Well, I was headed to a camping spot that my family used to always go to. My freind would always come with us and we promised that if anything ever happened that we would go there." I said

"Oh I see"

"Yeah."

It was dark when we finally showed up near there camp spot. When we walked closer and closer to the spot I realized this was the camping spot that my family used to stay at. It had the small pond like thing to it. Now that I know this I soon hope to be able to see my family and freind and again.

"Daryl, this was the campsite that I told that I was trying to get to."

He did not say anything when we walked into the camp or even when I told him that . Most of everybody was in the tents sleeping maybe a couple of people sleeping in the RV. There was a tiny fire still going with one person sitting around in the fire. Daryl had said that most of the tents were full  and that I would have to stay in his tent with him and his brother. I said this was gonna be great.

His tent was away from all the others but it is okay I can walk just a little bit more. When we got into his tent his brother was on one of the cots snoring. Daryl put his stuff down and grabed the spare sleeping bag that was laying on the ground and rolled it out. I had offered to sleep on the ground but he told me to sleep on the cot. And what he said you did there was no saying no. I Put my bag down next to his and my bow on the oppiste side of the cot.  I layed down and smelt sweaty woods. The smell was kinda nice. After just laying there for awile I driffted into a deep sleep.
