"I can't kill a dog!" It's not every day you walk past a zombie dog walker with a zombie dog.
"You managed to kill him," Jacob points down to a lifeless corpse with a mashed up skull.
"I know but this is a dog, a cute little zombified animal who is about to rip us limb from limb... OK no way to make that sound Innocent!" Me and Jacob both start to back away as the growling mutt makes his way towards us.
I whisper the direction in which I order Jacob to run as a plan springs to mind. I call the animal to get him to look my way as Jacob runs down a steep hill towards the to field. He was resistant to go at first but he knows to trust me.
I slowly bend down to pick up a stick, not taking my eyes off the mutt. Here boy, fetch! I throw the stick as far as I'm capable it saws through the air towards the school. Nothing, the thing didn't even blink, he only crouches tighter to the ground and even growls more.
"Really?" I whisper in a high pitch tone, raising an eye brow. "Erg, fine!" I reach for a near by flat grey rock and feel one of the edges with my index finger. "Perfect." I gulp placing the sharpest side of the stone to my thumb, press down and slowly move it in my direction. I feel the blood ooze out of my finger, I've never been good with blood (Seriously my legs even going numb writing about it :L) but if it gives us a chance of survival, I need to do whats best.
I reach down for a new stick as the mutt starts to make his way slowly towards me. I get my thumb and smear blood all the way along a foot long stick. A little trick from the walking dead, who say's TV teaches you nothing?
"How about now?" I look at the mutt and his nose begins to twitch. As I draw back my arm ready to throw, the animal begins to bark. Not just a usual bark you'd expect to hear from a dog, I mean full on echo for miles, leading birds to flee from trees. The sound pierces my ears causing me to go temporarily death in my left ear.
As I throw the blood covered stick, the mutt waist no time and is gone in an instant. Before I have a chance to see if hes coming back for round two, I'm already half way down the slope in Jacobs direction.
"You totally got that from walking dead!" Jacob smirks in my direction.
"Yup." I answer bluntly and keep walking down and onto the field.
"Your legs are starting to go numb arn't they?" He carry's on smirking, trying to sound concerned.
"Yup!" My face crinkles up, I can still walk, just with great difficulty.

We both got down to the beach without difficulty, we only faced a rather peed off farmer as we crossed his sheep field. We didn't have to handle him as the same thing happened to him as did it Lauren and Steffi, so Jacob took that to our advantage and as he fell to the ground we stole his gun. Well, he's not going to need it.
"Why do you think that hasn't happened to us?" I turn to ask Jacob just to see him playing around with the gun, pretending to shoot stuff. When he notices I'm staring at him like a total idiot he stops.
"Really?" I ask in the same voice as earlier and we both just laugh.
"I dunno, maybe it will? Maybe we need to get bitten or scratched or something?" He shrugs his shoulders. "I'd just be careful of your thumb if I were you, you're even more at risk or becoming infected now!" He looks down concerned with my cut.
"I'll be fine," I look like it's nothing, really I feel like screaming but I;m sure right now that won't help.
Jacob points out a small, wooden boat about half way across the beach. We can't live in it, but it will be perfect for getting across the river.
"Lets go!" Me and Jacob both run across the pebbly terrain and I jump into the boat.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I dive out the boat head first, whacking my head on a rock. My eye sight goes blurry and I feel like passing out. I feel the cold waves grabbing at my back and trying to pull me in to the river. Within an instant, things just go black.
***
"Yazmin... Yazmin!" I'm woken to a cold splash of water in my face. "Guess what!" Jacob stares at me excitedly.
"What?" I groan as I sit up getting a sharp pain in my right temple.
"I stole a yacht!" He begins to jump up and down, "I mean like a proper princess yacht and everything! We might actually survive... We got food and running water, and I managed to hot wire it and were on our way out to sea now!"#
"Wait... Slow down, what happened?" I sit bewildered at the story, still confused at what has actually happened.
"Well, when you blacked out, I picked you up and put you back in the boat, got the boat into the water and lead it out to Princess yacht across the river. Since you were still out, I left the boat in the river with you init so nothing could get you while I went to find the best yacht for us to live in, I mean with water and food and stuff!"
"You mean best yacht as in, the biggest and the best looking one?"
"Well it has food and running water so don't complain!"
"I'm still confused... What was in the boat?" I stare confused as that part seemed to be left out of the story.
"A fish... Well it was a big fish... The fisher man was on the other side of the beach... Fishing!"
"So I blacked out... because of a fish?"
"Yup!"
"OK, one more question... Who is steering the boat?" I stare at Jacob wide eye and raised eyebrows and it clicks.
"OK first of all, it's a yacht, not a boat. Second..." He jumps out of his seat and runs for the main cabin. All I can hear is a bunch of cursing words coming from his mouth before a massive crash. The boat starts to rock back and forth, starting to make me feel queasy.
"Abandon ship! Abandon ship!" A startled Jacob runs in grabbing at my arm and pulling me to the outside of the boat.
"What do you mean?" I can barely keep my balance with the constant rocking.
"I've lost control, I can't steer this bloody thing. We have to jump!"
"You're having a fucking laugh! I can't even swim!"
"Well either way this yacht is going down!"
The front end of the boat starts to go directly down into the water leaving the rest of the boat almost vertically in the air. Me and Jacob both loose out balance and fall back into the doors of the cabin.
"Great, we managed to avoid zombies but we're going to die by drowning!" I scream as tears begin to form in my eyes.
"We'll be fine!" Jacob shouts back unconvincingly. We both try and pull ourselves back up to the top of the boat as the room starts to fill with water. We're not left with much air as the doors slam down on my fingers as I try to pull myself out of the water.
"We're trapped! The doors locked themselves!" We both desperatly try to push open the door as we sink down even more. The water going into the plug sockets caused random sparks of electricity to be out only source of light.
Quietly I can her Jacob over all the racket of the sinking ship humming the theme tune to Titanic.
"Not the time!" I scream at him as we both go under, desperately gasping for air.
The salt from the sea burns my eyes and I can feel the pressure as we go deeper into the depths of the ocean as my lungs shrink down even smaller. The further down we go, the even more impossible it is to see.
Me and Jacob once got into a stupid argument as to whether it was possible to drown yourself. Now would be a time to test my theory. I feel for Jacobs arm and hold it tightly in my palms. I close my eyes and taking a massive gasp, my lungs fill with salty sea water. Within about three seconds I start to get dizzy, a big bright light forms and I can't help my urge to swim for it. Only when I get to it, everything goes black.
