I had wandered the streets of the infected, side by side with these killers, and yet they have not touched me. I often stroll along in a herd because I know that none would attack me. I was startled, at first, when an infected came up behind me while I was looting a trash can, it didn't scream or alert others, just sniffed me, loudly, before leaving. I was stunned when I watched it shuffle away and flop down on the other side of a dumpster, hidden away. Why had it walked past me? I realized it instantly, smell! I was covered in head to toe in all sorts of dead parts so it masked my human smell, I didn't need to walk like them or groan or screech, just move along my way.
I kept a backpack over my shoulders with many supplies but I didn't really need to worry about infected. I was observing an interesting sight, two Spider Infected together. A crazy infected with it's eyes on the side of it's head and joints, much like a spiders; it was smart but rather easy to see coming but could easily get the jump on you. I was wearing a white shirt with loose jeans over a pair of swim-shorts, in case I needed to take extreme measures. There were many large lakes surrounding the city and my speed could easily bring me to the water quickly without being a meal and I could kick off my clothes in the water.
I was on my way back to the house I had been watching, a young, quite pretty girl lived there but she was the most bad ass person I had ever seen, she is smart and quick with good instincts but she is too cocky, she loves watching the infected and I have seen her almost get jumped but she always escapes without a scratch on her. I entered my usual house and climbed to the roof to see if she was fine. I was laying flat against the roof but she had noticed me once but luckily, the blood and guts made her assume I was infected. I became much more careful. I noticed her coming along the ground and my eyebrows raised in concern, she never came across the ground, always be rooftops, I noticed she was limping heavily but I held my breath, best not to say anything, she could kill me. I heard a slush of a killed infected before she climbed over the fence with trouble, she fell over the other side with a groan before limping to the house. I watched her knock twice before opening and her two dogs jumped out, one a long haired German Shepherd and the other a brown Pit bull.
The blond was badly limping, I could tell but she put out the strong vibe. Suddenly, I noticed a group of men, they were dirty and nasty with machine guns, I knew this couldn't be good. I reached into my pocket to pull out my sniper, they were too close to the house. One pointed and the others followed him, climbing over the tall fence, they landed silently, I had my scope pointed at one's head, I noticed movement in the window, she spotted them but so did they, they slowed and moved quieter. I had now or never- a shot rang out and one with sprawling backwards as a bullet went into his shoulder, no choice, he shot and he saw the bullet graze past the other man, it hit but just barely and he collapsed. The scream of infected filled the air as the last man dove into cover, just out of my sights, but the girl got him. The screams were deafening but still I slid down the roof and hurried to the backyard, I hopped the fence and put a knife into the man attempting to grab his gun, shoulder bleeding. As I turned away to grab his gun, I heard the click of a gun and felt the metal against my head.
"Who are you" Came a growl and I said, slowly, "Madam, I am the one who shot the guy that could have killed you" I stated before turning around slowly, my hands up. "I hate to rush things but we have to leave now, before these guy's group come and before this wooden fence breaks" The fence was creaking and she nodded but I stopped her, "We can get out of here but we have to do it my way" I explained. The girl hesitated for a moment before glancing him over again, and sighing, "Fine. Avery is my name" She stated before hurrying back to the house, her limp heavy while the pit bull followed her, tail between his legs. The other sniffed me cautiously, before growling at one of the men as he sat up slowly, groaning in pain. I jumped forward and drove the knife into his skull and finishing the last man before moving to follow the girl. She was rushing around the house with lightning speed despite limping.
