Survival of the fittest

Chapter 4: Bowman

For the last couple of days, Ron and I had been doing everything together. Teasing each other, and I guess you could say we were flirting. He was acting so nice to me. It almost seemed like he missed me. I blush at the thought every time I see him.

"Hi Ron", I smile wanting to start a conversation as he was barricading the Walmart back door

"Hey Connie can you hand me nail over there?", he points

"Of Course", as I pick up the nails on the floor Chad comes over screaming to get out.

Ron drops what he's doing and grabs my hand to start running

"THEY GOT IN! EVERYBODY OUT", Chad screams out

"THERES DOZENS OF THEM! SOMEONE HELP", adds Tyler from the electronic section, trying to shoot the zombie

"RON WE NEED YOU"

Ron quickly lets go of my and goes to help out tyler

"RON!", I shout

"CONNIE CMON, HES GONA BE FINE!", Chadwick screams as he grabs my hand and drags me out the entrance.

We kept running for who knows how long, everyone behind us, all of the group. Except Ron. We got away from the zombies and found a big mansion in the hills. Everyone was amazed by it, it seemed like royalty lived here. But I did t care how big the house was. I didn't care if it was safe. All I wanted was for Ron to be back.

"Has anyone seen Ron"' I finally spoke up

"... I didn't see him get out..."

"Tyler please don't play with this"

"Connie... I didn't see him get out"

I felt a tear roll down my cheek

"You have to go look for him!"

"It's too dark out Connie", Chadwick answered

"I don't care! You have to go look for Ron!"

"Look! I understand your sad, but I'm not going to risk the group for your stupid little boyfriend", Chad shouted.

I stood there, in shock at how no one but me cared about what happened to Ron. I ran to a room in the mansion and cried looking out the window occasionally in hopes Ron would appear.

{Ron's Point Of View}

I saw Chadwick running off with Connie and the rest of the group and Tyler and I fought off some of the zombies.

"RON, WE HAVE TO GO, IM GOING TO SHOT IN THE AIR TO DISTRACT THESE FREAKS AND WE MAKE A RUN FOR IT"

"RIGHT BEHIND YOU"

As Tyler shot up in the air, we made a run for it through the woods. I swear I was looking at where I was going, I was following Tyler and then- he was gone. I was lost in the woods. I kept trying to shout his name but I stopped after the 3rd try, worried that I would attract corps. I don't think he saw me get out. I was cold and hungry. I walked around for a while with a flashlight I found. I decided to hide in a small cave I found, making sure no one was in it. I tried to tell myself that I would find the group and that I wouldn't die. But I couldn't believe I was alone again.

I woke up the next morning and went out to hunt for some food, all I found was berries. Fucking berries. As I walked back to my cave I heard someone step in a twig.

"Shut up you idiot, he's going to hear us"

I stopped

"Why are we even looking at him"

"You're fucking stupid. We're going to kill him and take his supplies. I could use some new guns"

As I turned around, they tackled me from behind, putting a knife to my throat

"Easy there pretty boy. We're going to kill you and take your supplies. Any last words?"

As he said that I pushed him off and took his knife, quickly sinking it in his skull. I got up and headed towards the bastard going through my supplies but out of nowhere an arrow shot straight through my arm.

"HOLY SHIT", I cursed as I had to take the arrow out my flesh.

I turned around and saw a bow man aiming straight at me. I ran to my supplies, stabbing the arrow in the other guys neck, took my gun and shot at the bow man. Bleeding out, I ripped my shirt and wrapped it around my wound. I took my backpack and carried on walking. Hoping not to pass out.
