Surviving the undead

~1~

I hear twigs snapping under my feet as I make my way over. I hold up my new crossbow, I aim for the wild rabbit that was in front of me. Breath in, breath out and shoot. The arrow goes flying through the air. It goes into the rabbits head causing it to drop. Yes! I say in my head and go and collect my prize.

*Snap*

Now I know that wasn't me, I had a feeling someone was following me. I place the rabbit into my bag and put the crossbow down. I hold my hands up and turn around. I see a man in black with a gun pointed to my head.

"Well, look at who we have here."

He says in a stupid accident, clearly he has done this before.

"I'm sorry.. Do I know you? Am I one of the children you've stalk before?"

I ask him in a smart ass voice, I know that's what can get you killed these days. But, it's fun as to do.

"Wow.. Big mouth on a little girl."

He says coming closer, he's gun still pointed at me. I walk towards him and offer him a small smile. He's close enough now, close enough for what? You might ask well, this. I use a high kick to hit his hand. Causing him to drop his gun, I knee him in the nuts and push him against a tree. I pull my knife from my holder on my thigh and hold it at hi throat.

"Now listen here ratbag this is the 4 time this week someone has tries to kill me. How do you know me? And why are you trying to kill me."

I snap at him, he smirks at me.

"Well.. It's a robber that's for sure."

My eyes widen, not him. Anybody but him. Next thing I know someone comes charging at me from behind. An arrow goes through his head, I go to pick up my stuff. The other guy is dumb and thinks haha I'm gonna attack her. The same faith, a tall boy with black hair and blue eye jumps down from the tree. I scope up my bag of game and put the crossbow on my bag.

"Hey Ry.."

I say and we walk back to camp. He showed me how to Hunt and use a crossbow. He thinks that they are great survival tips to know.

"That's the 4th attack this week, you need to tell your uncle."

Ryan says, I roll my eyes at him.

"He doesn't give a crap about me. I'm dead weight, he makes you babysit me."

"Kat.. That's bs, we both know he does that because he worries."

"The only reason I'm still here is because Jace is great on the wall. He's knows if I'm gone, Jace goes."

Ryan knows theirs no point so he climbs up the wall we have come across. Behind this wall is a camp, a camp we live in. We have been here for about 4 months now. I pass Ryan the bag and my crossbow and Jace helps me up.

"Hey Kat."

He says and hugs me, yep feeling the love. People he has dirty blonde hair, blue eyes. He has freckles on his cheeks and is 23. He's not very tall but, is super nice.

"Hey Jace."

I say and jump over the other side, Ryan by my side.

"He loves you."

He says with a grin.

"Oh shut up. You do to."

I say and poke my tongue out. He puts his arm around me and we walk up to the house. He goes to the wall while I go to the kitchen. I give my uncle's girlfriend my hunt of day and I run up to my room. I open the white wooden door to see Zoe and Thomas drawing. I share a room with them, they have the bunk bed and I get the one on the other side of the room.

"Hey kiddies."

I say and they hug me, our walls are covered in drawings. I sit down and read some books, until I got a message on the radio.

"Hey Kat.. Meet me out front In 5."

It was Ryan, I get up and run outside. He grabs my hand and pulls me over to the barn. I look into it and see 2 familiar figures.
