It's been about 2 hours since we left the house and I already feel homesick. I don't like being out in the open it makes me feel vulnerable.  Molly and I agreed that's we would travel to Michigan.... I mean why not.

"Hey can we slow down for a sec..." I panted. We had been walking for hours and my legs and feet were killing me. Molly slowed down and tracked back to me. She sat down and handed me a water bottle.

"Thanks" I mumbled out of breath. I chugged a bit down then handed it back to her.

"Isn't there like an old supermarket around here? It would've been looted but I'm sure there is  still a lil bit of food left" Molly said while putting the bottle of water back in her bag

"I guess we could check it out" I said standing up. I offered her a hand and she took it. I pulled her up and we kept on walking.

We finally reach the abandoned supermarket and it was pretty empty. But we did find a few things here and there. I was looking down the meat aisle when a geek dressed in a police uniform came running toward me. I assumed he was a cop pre z. I remembered the trick Molly taught me and put it to use. Kick the knee and stab the head. Hmm it actually worked. Of course it would because Molly knew her shit.

I looked down and noticed he had a handgun. I unclipped it from his belt and inspected it. Just then Molly jogged over to me. "You good? I heard some growling.... oh nice score, you know how to use it?"  "No clue. But I'll learn." I said smiling at her, indicating that she can teach me.

I was about to suggest that we should get going when heard some car doors shut. I swear if it's the same people. I immediately grab Mollys arm and lead her out he back door. I saw a dumpster and climbed on top of it and pulled myself onto the ledge. Molly did the same. We then pulled ourselves onto the roof top and hide above the rise.

I saw a group emerge in the parking lot. There was a dark skinned woman and an older white guy talking to someone on a walkie talkie. My eyes drifted to the pickup truck. It's the same one I saw outside my house. There were a few people who were standing around the truck. There was an old guy with a long white beard who was dressed as a hippie. A young girl with red hair and a freaking cool looking bat, she was talking to a guy with dirty blonde hair. I then noticed a dark haired boy with a rifle standing on the trucks bed looking through is scope.

My breathing hitched and my heart started beating faster. Holy shit. He looks like Brian. My throat started to burn and tears threatened to fall. All the memories of Brian and I and how much I loved started coming back.
It wasn't the fact that he was attractive it was the scary similar facial features.

Molly broke my thoughts by nudging me and signaling that we should dip. I understood and quietly jumped down on the dumpster and so did she. We were about to head of when we heard gunshots and a lot of them. We ran around the front and peeked around the corner to see what was going on.

I gasped when I saw a mini horde of about 30-40 geeks coming their way and I looked at Molly. "We have to help them!" She said starting jogging in their direction.
I grab her arm and stopping her
"Are you crazy?! We will get ourselves killed" I whisper yelled

"I'd rather die helping someone then die being selfish" she whisper-yelled back as she ran over to help them. Damn this girl drives me crazy I thought to myself. I knew this group wasn't gonna be able to mercy all these geeks so I ran after her.  The group was already getting their fair share of killing when they all glanced over to us for a few seconds before occupying them selfs again. I mercy a couple of them when I saw the dark skinned woman get attacked by a big guy and without hesitating I ran over to her and drove my bald through his skull. He dropped to the ground and the lady nodded at me in appreciation. I return it and went back to slashing geeks.

Once the horde been mercied I noticed that everyone was covered in blood. I glance around to look for Molly when I saw she was behind me finishing the last 2.

The chick I saved looked over at me "I can't thank you enough for coming to save our asses, probably wouldn't have made it out without you two"

"Don't thank me" I said looking over my shoulder to see Molly walking over to me. She looked kinda hot. Wait what....

"It was her idea" I added giving her some credit
Molly smiled and nodded her head kinda saying your welcome.

"Well we are grateful." Said the older white guy who was standing pretty close to the black chick.

"I'm garnett, this is warren, Doc, Addy, Mack, 10k" he said gesturing to everyone. " Well I'm Molly and this is Alissa" pointing to me
"Are you guys finished with the chit chat yet? I need my beauty sleep" grumbled a voice from inside the car.  "And that is Murphy" Garnett added.

"It sounds like he's kinda an ass" I said honestly not really caring about his feelings.
"I heard that" he said as he climb out of the car. 
"You do have ears" I shrugged

"So where you two headed?" Warran ask as I cleaned my knife with my shirt
"We were thinking about Michigan but we aren't really in a rush " Molly told them I nodded in agreement.

"Michigan?" That's a long way " Addy said
"Yeah like we said we aren't really in a rush, what about you guys?" directing the conversation back to them

"Were on a mission to deliver Murphy to the CDC in California. He is the - as he puts it 'saviour of mankind'" Warran sighs

I furrowed my eyebrows unconvinced until warran signaled for up to lift up his shirt. As he does both me and Mollys eyes widen with disbelief. He revealed his chest to have 8 bite marks. I stared for a little bit until he lowered his shirt back down.

"How!?" Molly whispered just as shocked as I was "Its a long story but you two seem to know what your doin and we could really use your firepower, strength in numbers...." garnett offered

Molly and I looked at each other and silently agreed. "All right then I guess" I said as everyone loaded up into the truck.

Me and Molly hoped in the bed of the truck with Murphy and 10k. I didn't notice how close we were sitting  until we knocked arms. I blushed and looked the other way pretending not to notice when I saw that dark haired kid staring at me out of the corner of my eye.
