We Will Survive This Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

* Star's POV *

Alistair and I continued the next morning as soon as we both woke up. I dropped the bags to the ground before hopping down myself. Then came Alistair, we picked up the bags and continued.

"Did you see the footprints? They looked human, no drag marks and shuffle marks." Alistair asked as we walked.

"Didn't notice them, but it means we should keep an eye out if you saw them headed this way." I stated looking ahead.

"True, but now we either have to find a car or another camp to chill at." He brought up our current issue. We can't stay out here in the open all the time, we could wake up above a horde of zombies that want to devour us.

"Car first, if we get lucky and find somewhere to chill then great, but what are the chances of that?" I tried thinking like a survivalist. He nodded in agreement.

After that we walked in silence for a while. Both quietly and secretly pondering about certain things. Who could blame us? We've been almost killed a few times and kidnapped. The key to all of this is just being smart. If we let our guard down or slip up we could have a few issues. Common sense is what you need to survive.

Finally the woods ended and we were welcomed with a road. An empty road. No cars, no straggler zombies, not even a noise drifter down the road. In a movie this would be where a tumbleweed blew across the road. I was actually half expecting for it to actually happen.

"Time to walk for another few hours." I followed it up with a dramatic sigh.

"What do you want me to do, Carry you?" He asked playfully as we started walking.

"If we didn't have to carry around all this stuff I'd say yes." I smiled.

We continued out walk of survival down the road until we heard the roar of a car engine. We stepped onto the side of the road not bothering to look for this mysterious car that we heard. We actually saw it pass, we didn't ponder why it would be here. We continued our walk down the road. Then a weird thing happened, the car was put into reverse and stopped next to us. A guy rolled down the window and looked me over.

"Need a ride darling?" He asked with a wink.

I pulled a gun out of the small of my back and put it to his head, "Yeah, so do me a favor and get the hell out of the car."

He looked a little shocked at first but quickly recovered. He placed a smirk on his face, like he didn't think I would actually do it. So to add to it I slid a bullet into the chamber.

"We either to this my way or the inhuman way. I won't tell you again.'' I snapped.

While I was talking Alistair went around the back of the watching him. The guy sighed and stepped out of the car. I gave him a smile before throwing my bags on the ground next to Alistair so he could put them in the back.

"Get in the back." I ordered the guy.

He looked confused but did it anyway.

Alistair hopped in the passenger side while I drove. I continued down the road looking at small smoke towers growing in the sky.

"Name?" I asked as I focused on the road.

"Jasper. And you are?" He answered.

"Star."

"Alistair."

After introductions we continued driving in silence. It was a comfortable silence though, we were all thinking about something. At least that's how I saw it. Only explanation in my mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After hours we found an abandoned house. Each one of us cleaned out the house and then picked a piece of furniture to sleep on. It wasn't comfortable furniture but it was something.

"We can't stay here forever, we're running low on food." Alistair pointed out as it was getting dark.

"Just a few days. We deserve a small break." I sighed.

"I can help get food." Jasper whispered.

All attention was on him. He looked nervous for a moment, he took a deep breath before answering.
"I'm a fast runner. I had a group when all this first started and I was in charge of running to get water and food and stuff." I shrugged, still not looking at us.

I nodded knowing he would be useful.

Plus, the more survivors that better. Right? Right now the survival of humans depends on the people who are smart about all this shit, not the ones who run out expecting to end it in a day. This has been going on for almost two weeks now, we still have no idea how this shit started.

"I'm going to bed if you don't mind." Jasper stated.

"I think I second that decision." Alistair added. I nodded in agreement.

We all laid down in our spots am drifted off to sleep.

Flashback

My dad stumbled into the house after another late night of drinking. Instead of talking to him gathered up the last of my homework and b-lined for the stairs.

"Did you train today?" He slurred.

"No, I have a life." I stated harshly.

He looked shocked. Before he could say anything else I bounded up the stairs.I didn't care much about what he thought about me, ever since he decided to not reenlist in the army he's filled the void with drinking. I never got the attraction but last time I said something I just got yelled at so I stopped trying.

"Go to bed!!!!" I heard him shout from downstairs.

I turned off the main light in my room and was left with my desk lamp. As I finished my homework I played with my pocket knife.

Flashback ends

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. Looking through the boards we'd nailed to the windows it was still pitch black outside. I sat up and looked at the two sleeping boys sprawled out on couches. I smiled at them secretly happy to find a few people that are on my side.

I laid back down and decided to try to get more sleep, if we were going to continue this we were going to need sleep. Closing my eyes I tried to go to sleep but I couldn't. I sighed and sat up in the chair. That's when I heard it. The noise I'd been dreading since we entered this nice house we'd found in the woods.

Zombies.
