The Walking Dead - The Darkest Days *being rewritten*

2. Reality Just sunk in

Lilly ran as fast as her short nimble legs could go until Amber stopped out of breath. "Did we lose them?"Lilly asked.

Amber looked back "I think so kid', " She said. Lilly fell down her legs too tired to walk anymore "can we have a break?"Lilly Pleaded.

Amber looked around "Were out in the open kid' we need to stay hidden" Lilly growled and grudgingly got up. They began to trek down the long empty road the houses were empty and there were a few 'Whatevers' as Lilly called them. The passed the park where Lilly had previously been a week earlier. She had went on the bright red swing and had her foster Father push her.

Lilly sighed and looked at the road. She kicked some stones with her feet while she walked. "Stop that" Amber ordered. Lilly looked up and stuck her tongue out at her. Amber scowled and then saw an 'whatever' and put her finger on her lips and Lilly looked at her and knew what it meant. Amber slowly reached into the back of her jeans pocket and took out a Butterfly knife.

Lilly knew what butterfly knives were for you see she was a very strange child. She regularly searched on the Internet about horror and also searched for weapons. She had always longed for a butterfly knife. A butterfly knife is very good in small spaces or if you are holding onto something and you need to cut something with the other hand. It is also very good for amusement by doing flips and tricks with it.

Amber slowly creeped up behind the 'whatever' and stabbed the back of it's head before it noticed her. She took the knife out it's skull and cleaned her knife with a two-ply tissue she had in her other pocket. She kept the tissue in her pocket even though it was dripping in blood. She then put the knife back in her pocket and continued walking.

Lilly watched in amazement the whole time wondering how on earth she could do it without mercy at all. Lilly ran back up to her side and looked up to her in wonder. Her bright red hair was so clean and so bright, Lilly was surprised no 'whatevers' had seen it and waddled over to eat her.

When the sun disappeared from the sky the made shelter in an abandoned house. Amber sat in the living room searching for food while Lilly examined the rooms. Nothing interesting an Adult bedroom, Guest room and Bathroom.

Lilly slept in the guest bedroom while Amber sat on the couch drinking a glass of cola that she had found. Amber stayed awake most the night frightened to sleep because of nightmares, on the other hand, Lilly slept well and did not scream or shout at all.

Lilly had a rude awakening when Amber shook her awake. Lilly sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes and yawned. She put on her bag and began to head out. They were going to stay there for a while. May as well stay somewhere.

Amber didn't like leaving Lilly alone to protect the place so they went together. They soon found a Wallmart. Amber walked in cautiously Lilly at her side. They scanned the rows which were empty and just had a few scraps.

Amber then stopped at the canned food isle to shovel food into her bag. Lilly stood at the end of the isle and looked around. She then heard footsteps behind a nearby STAFF ONLY door. She gulped and took her pocket knife out her bag and walked over to the door. She then opened the door which creaked and screamed in fright she had closed her eyes and kept repeating "It's not a zombie" over and over.

She then felt hands on her shoulders "No were not"An calming and loving voice said. Lilly opened her eyes and saw some people. There were two girls and three men. The woman holding her had Long Blonde hair to her elbow, Deep blue eyes and fair skin. She had an gold band on her left ring finger and was wearing an Red shirt, Red and white crossed skirt and Red heels. The other girl was about 17, with Black hair in a ponytail, Light blue eyes and Fair skin. She wore a lemon yellow shirt, Stripped tie that had a big H on it, A black mini skirt, Black tights and long black boots with a large heel.

There was man stood behind the blonde woman he had Black Elvis hair, Blue eyes and fair skin he also wore a black leather jacket,white t-shirt, Black jeans and black shoes. He was like a 17 year old Elvis. Then a man stood next to him with blonde posh hair, light blue eyes and fair skin and also had a gold band around his left finger. Then the last Guy was an really fat guy with black hair and fair skin. He was wearing a red t-shirt, grey jeans that looked like they would burst any second and red sneakers.

Amber ran to Lilly and raised her gun "who are you?"Amber demanded pointing teh gun at the Woman holding Lilly. "Me?"The woman said Amber nodded and The woman cleared her throat. "I'm Dianna Desponire, This is my husband Derek Desponire" She said pointing the other man wearing the band. "I'm Jennette"The girl in the lemon yellow shirt said. "I'm Zap"The Elvis looking guy said. What kind a name is Zap? Amber Thought. "I'm Burris"The fat guy said.

"Why don't we join up or somethin' We don't want to cause y'all trouble", Jennette said nicely. She had a Texas Accent and an smooth voice that could easily manipulate anyone. "Fine, Just give me Lilly back",A mber said. Dianna let go of Lilly and Lilly ran to Amber. Even though Amber and Lilly had known each other just for a day they manged to already have a bond of trust. This would come in handy if things got bumpy in the future.
