dead or alive

chapter 1

"GET TO THE TRUCK"

Backing down the alleyway the 3 survivors ran as a tall blonde woman was unloading bullets into a wall of approaching walkers. Accuracy was not a concern, as long as the shot was aimed at head height a zombie almost always dropped to the floor.

Looking back, Brittany saw the survivors sprinting towards the black hummer. Brittany averted her eyes and kept firing relentlessly at the lifeless bodies that keep coming.

"BRITTANY"

"BRITTANY, HURRY UP"

Brittany kept firing and firing until she heard a familiar click. She turned on the ball of her feet and ran. Ran towards the truck that had her friends motioning for her to come quickly with their hands in. Groan and Moans, Brittany Knew what was fast approaching behind her so she picked up the pace. Lungs burning, she groaned loudly and jumped in the back of the truck and tapped it loudly signalling for it to go.

The hummer roared as it ploughed through crowds of walkers, the crunching and grinding of bones could be heard. When they were driving away from the walkers that was when Brittany relaxed and rested an arm on her bent leg. She wiped away a bead of sweat and let out a smile as the breeze brushed her face out of her hair.

"Where to now?" Brittany heard Jake say. Being honest Brittany didn't know where she's going. Martha is going to Columbus to find her parents, Mark is going to Cincinnati to find his brother and Tyler is going to a refugee camp in Atlanta where his family are safe. Brittany sighed and just shut her eyes.

"Well I'm voting for Columbus as it's before all the stops that you guys want to make" Martha said in her southern American accent. Martha is 32 years old but by Christ she doesn't look a day over 20, she's got beautiful brown hair with dark brown eyes, fair pale skin and a lean build.

"Bullshit! Cincinnati is closer, Ohio is only 650 miles away" Britany hears Mark say. Mark has a muscular build, dirty blonde hair and green eyes. He and Brittany could pass as brother and sister if he had piercing Blue eyes like the blonde.

"You're both delusional and stupid. No doubt the walkers have got to Ohio and are munching on every last person in that joint! We're going to Atlanta, that's the safest place" James says with a scoff in his voice. James is an asshole, he has jet black hair, blue eyes and is very skinny.

"You better shut your mouth boy"

"Atlanta's overrun"

"If you don't take me there I'll take myself"

Brittany shut her eyes and listened to the three argue, she sometimes thought if she would be better off without them. She would gather supplies, a vehicle and live in a barricaded and safe house or place that will keep her from the walkers. What would be the safest place? Well there isn't really one is there I mean everywhere overrun with walkers Britany thought.

"GET BACK IN YOUR SEAT"

"THE WHEEL"

"NOOO"

CRASH!

Brittany felt the truck swerve to the left and then to the right and before Brittany knew it the car was spinning. Brittany squeezed her eyes shut and held onto the metal bar, she barely had time to scream before the truck started flipping. She heard screams but felt herself drifting unconscious, everything went black!
