The Bryne Runaways (Updated)

Chapter 29

We walk in a straight direction and we haven't encountered any infected yet. It's been a couple of minutes since anything lately. Everything has been quiet. All the fight action commences mostly at the center but once you have entered into the wilderness that's a hunting game. Hunt or be haunted. It's find and take down the remaining. Currently I'm one of them and I hope Uncle Ben is one of the remaining. But I know Uncle Ben will hold on, I'll make it back to him. I know I will.

"Where's the pond?" I ask Bones.

"Over that hill" He points to the hill over these rocks and we kept on moving, making not so much conversation.

"Why are they after your uncle?" Bones says to me.

"Gordon commanded them to, to get me angry" I say and I think, does Gordon know I'm doing this? Does he know I'll be stopping his plan? What about Dr. Meredith? She's probably pissed off. Well that's what they deserve. I can break rules. I'm not just a quiet boy.

"The head of the camp?"

"Yeah him"

"How come?"

"He wants me to suffer"

"Well that's what he's doing to all of us with these games but campers are too clueless about it. So how about we show him a game to play" Bones says with a smirk on his face and I'm glad I'm friends with Bones. He's someone I'm gonna start a revolution with. That's how close we'll end up being.

We go over the hill make our way to the pond area and where no one is here. No Jacob. No Dean. And no Margaret. We stand out in the open looking like complete strangers.

"Where are they?" Bones says anxiously and I move around the area until I come to staring at the pond that has blood in it. I didn't want to show Bones but he found out himself. That's when he got frustrated. We hear movement around us and we take cover. From what I see I spot the three guys who got in a huge fight with us. Erik I believe is his name. They pass us and I thought we were gonna be safe from them which I'm right but not from another infected who has sent down his spear. I look up and falls an infected from the trees. I aim my arrow but the infected throws it aside along with me. He walks his way over with his spear ready and I crawl for my bow.

He raises his spear but Bones gets here on time saving me yet again from another death moment. They both land on the floor and I notice Erik has found us already from all the noise occurring. I take in my bow and began shooting arrows at the others coming our way but all of my hits miss, at least it makes them slower. They get closer and I have a steady aim for a good hit when a hand connects with my face.

I fall to the side and it is another infected who had hit me. I look up and a sword comes down but I roll over where the sharp blade has been pierced into the ground. He picks up his sword and goes again trying to cut me but my bow stands in the way of it. He presses his sword down and I respond by kicking his leg apart and earning him a whack with my bow.

From the side another infected arrives knocking me down. I look from the side and the infected I was just with goes for me but Bones hauls the infected over to him. I look up and the infected who just knocked me down leaps for me but I send him a kick to the face. I regain myself and glance over at the infected who spits out his mouth some blood along with cracking his knuckles.

"What's wrong you little bitch?" The infected doesn't hesitate with a smirk on his face giving me a maniacal chuckle.

"Norman run!" I hear Bones loud and clear and I do so. I run with the bow in my hands to the waterfall I see in the distance. I run with the motivation to look for Uncle Ben. The infected gets closer and closer to my body and I want to run back for Bones but I couldn't. Once I have made it to the waterfall, I leap into the pool of the freezing strong water. Then I feel strong hands go down on my throat pushing me deeper into the water causing me trouble to hold my breath. I struggle underwater and all my scratches and hits going to the camper doesn't help but make things worse. I then begin to doze off into another place again.

"Feed on me" The dark voice in my nightmares is heard.

"Let me in and what you desire shall be yours" Stop it!

"You don't know what you have, let me show you"

"I'll protect you my child" Then the voice drifts off again.

Then the grip on my throat releases and I rise to the surface gasping for the mighty air. Once I have my eyesight back I see Jacob, Bones, and Dean fighting off infected, Margaret stands beside me helping me up from the water I almost suffocated in. I see as the infected drawback into the woods again as our small group reunites together, all happy to see each other.

"We showed those fuckers" Dean says loud and clear then goes to fist bump with Jacob whose hair is very soaked.

"Are you alright Norman?" Bones asks me and I nod that I'm fine.

We climb up our way up the waterfall rocks and rested ourselves before we head on moving. We all begin to help each other out from our wounds. I clean up Bones arm wound that would run blood down to his elbows. I felt sorry since he protected me from any harm that tried to be delivered.

"I'm sorry" I say to Bones and he moves me aside not caring what I said.

"We've got a problem" Bones gets up from where he sits and Jacob offers me some cheese that I accept.

"Someone is going after Bryne" Bones says and they all look at him stupidly.

"Wait Ben?!"

"Who on earth wants to go after that guy, don't they know what's he capable of?" Dean says sharpening his spear as I bite my cheese string.

"That's what I said, so it's our priority to get Norman to his uncle as fast as possible before we're too late" Bones orders them.

"We got to be careful, there's less survivors than infected now also we have spotted Erik as well with a group which are going after you" Jacob points at Bones and I look down in pity. I put him in this situation. I made him go through this problem.

"We'll worry about that later, let's just go find his uncle" Bones says and we pack up and move before Erik find us again.
