first fight

waking up

I wake up laying in a pool of my own sweat I hear footsteps and growling coming from the other side of my bedroom door "fuck" I think to myself I get up slipping my boots on grabbing my bag but just as I'm about to walk towards my window a floorboard creaks and they hear me I try to run but by the time I get to the window

I scream as I wake up I sit up and like the dream I'm in a pool of mh own sweat but instead of growling and footsteps I hear kids playing I hear birds I hear peace I sit up out of bed and put my boots on I grab my running bag and my combat knife I look over to the photo of the woman I loved Angel she always knew how to brighten my day but one day she was gone just like the rest I grab the photo and I look outside I see my brother nick sparing with one of the runners in training i chuckle to myself as I see him flip the guy I decided to go say hi

I walk over to where there training and I grab epic from behind and hold him in the air

Nick:woah man "chuckles"

Me:hey man ready for our run with the newbies

Nick:damn right let's teach these kids how it's done

Me:shit while where out there let's grab supplies to why not ya know already going out there and we'll save the night crew the trip

Nick:sure let me just go grab my rifle

Me:why didnt you have it anyway?

Nick:why would i have it?

Well cant question the logic so might as well go and grab my machete,revolver,notepad and pen

(Time skip)

Nick and i run with the new guys showing them the roaps telling them what to avoid and what not to what to grab and what to leave

Newbie:hey Christian whats going on down there?

I take a look and see hundreds of people marching and screaming

Me:this can't possibly be good

Me and Nick turn the group around and start running to sanctuary making sure everyone is staying in the group

Me:nick you need to get to the left side of the group!

Nick:okay brother!

We start to get shot at by the group

Me:fuck!everyone get down!!

The group drops getting shot at is not the best way to introduce new people into the runner group

Nick:Okay everyone crawl!!

The whole group stars to crawl slowly but steadily we start to get where we are going once we finally reach a house we drop down into the attic and we asses the situation

Me:Okay half is gonna go with Nick and the other half will go with me Nick will take the street way I will take the roof tops so be propared to run either way; we will not be fighting but run and try to stay close

Nick: alright everyone let's get out of this attic!

They take the steps down to the house as me and the other half of the group sprint out of the attic swerving between bullets barely making it to the next house intact

Me:alright people let's get going sanctuary isn't that far away and we have a clear shot they don't

We sprint off again this time not getting shot at catching up with nicks group below a couple more blocks and where at the walls.

Nick:christian how much longer our guys need to rest!.

Me:we can't stop If we do they will get to sanctuary before us.

Nick:alright C'mon boys we got this we can make it!.

We start to finally see the gates but we still hear the over 100 people screaming so we know there close to close.
