Survival 2

Chapter 13

We were frozen. The scratching was really loud. It seemed like it was right beside us. Timber jumped on the bed and hid under the covers. No one moved a single bit. We were to freaked out. When the scratching seemed to get even louder we heard the door open.

Someone or something was coming up the stairs. They reached our room and twisted the door knob. I got the gun ready to fire. Taylor held up a knife. The door opened up and two people stopped and stared at us. They slowly set down their weapons.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" I asked pointing a gun to their heads.

"Hey calm down, we just needed a place to stay and our dog chose this house." The guy reassured me.

"What's your name?" I asked lowering the weapon.

"I'm Tom, and she's Linda, who are you?" He told us.

"Amber, and that's Taylor." I said.

We walked to the living room and sat on the couch. They looked like they hadn't eaten in days so we got them some food. They told us how they got into town, and how they had a group but none of them made it.

They seemed really nice and full of joy. It was strange seeing someone so happy. I took them to a room that they could stay in. This would take some getting use to considering the fact that we've been on our own for a while.

It was nice to have people with us though. Now it would be a bit easier to get stuff. I still don't get why our old group wanted us dead. They had no reason.

I went to go get Timber, but when I saw him he was playing with the dog. They jumped around and ran everywhere. It looked kinda fun. They acted like there was nothing to worry about. I wish there wasn't anything to worry about. Sadly there was lots.

"Hey Taylor." I said walking into the living room.

"Hey, you know what, you were really scared." He said laughing.

"Did you not see yourself!" I laughed.

We laughed then sat on the couch. There were a couple knocks on the door. I went to check it out and there were people. They all looked safe so I opened it. Instantly they ran in and slammed the door shut. They kept looking outside and all ran and hid by the couch. I found out why too. There were some people coming, they looked pissed off too. I recognized the people too, it was some of the people from the safe little town we were at. They came to the door.
