"How big brother, what can we do to make them pay." Before I can answer we hear lots of gunshots outside, I look out the window to see the soldiers all piling towards the south gate. "What's going on?" Julia asks with panic in her eyes. "These so called zombies look to be piling onto the fence, this could be our chance, our opening." I practically pull Julia out of the room and outside, we then start peering around for any advantages we may have. Most if not all the soldiers are at the south gate, must be a lot of zombies pouring onto the gate. "Follow me" I whisper to Julia. We make our way to the North gate, around us other people are trying to flee. I look back to see a disturbing sight, the zombies have broken through the gates. The gunshots and screams of dying soldiers was too much for Julia who just kind of shut down. "Julia we have to go, we can't stay here any longer."
"Dylan I just, is the world doomed forever, the military can't even hold these fucking things back, how are we ever gonna manage."
"Julia look at me, you have me now and I'm never gonna leave your side, I'll protect you and keep you safe."
"Promise me Dylan, promise me you'll always be here."
"I pr-"
"Well well if it ain't that stupid bitch and her fucking brother." I look to my right and see those same 3 soldiers I saw leaving the apartment earlier. Julia struggles to form words, "M-M-Merrick, stay the fuck away from us."
"Oh little miss bossy bitch huh, I'll teach you some respect, clearly you didn't get enough befo-," I cut him off now furious, "YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH." Just then a zombie grabs me from behind, I twist around and with one quick motion through it straight at Merrick. The zombie takes a chunk out of his arm and while the soldiers are distracted I run up and grab one of their guns shooting the other 2 in the face. I go to shoot Merrick who by this time already got the zombie off of him and stopped it's head in. The gun is out of ammo, Julia grabs my arm, "Dylan we have to go now." With that me and Julia were off out of that military complex.
"Dylan"
"What Julia?"
"So about earlier, you promise to never leave my side and protect me."
I grab her hand "of course little sis, now we need to get moving."
