Into Another World

Chapter Ten

"Rise and shine, boy." Mike said to me as I let out a yawn. I looked around as I rubbed my eyes. Mike was going through the backpack, then pulled out a loaf of bread that big mama gave us. Mike ripped in half and gave me a half. After we were done eating Mike got up and gave me my gun.

"Your going to need this for later." Mike said.

"Why?" I asked.

"We are almost in the badlands. There is little protection and a whole bunch of trouble."

"What kind of trouble?" I asked Mike.

"Theifs, murderers, reapers. Bascilly every bad thing imaginable."

I thought in my head of what kind of people were there and what animals were there too. I looked over at Mike who all ready was walking away. I jumped up and ran after him.

After a long time of walking, about 4 hours, we finally reached the badlands. It looked a giant desert with giant sand dunes.

"Get out your laser." Mike said while getting out his.

I reached for my laser gun, and held it in my hands tightly. Mike started moving forward. I followed right behind him.

"Don't loose me, or your be here for a while. It might not look like it but you can easly get lost out here." Mike said.

As we krept forward, we could here the screams of people and animals in the distance.

"Hmmm." I said with a worried look.

Then Mike stopped in his tracks. I bump into him because I was unaware.

"Whats the hold up?" I asked.

I peaked around Mike's shoulder. There was a person, well it looked like a person, In all black and a hood up. Mike got his gun out.

"What is that?" I asked Mike while grabbing his shirt.

"Its a runner." He replied.

"Like a.. like a zombie?" I asked.

"No. Runners are very fast, very intelegent people. They can run faster than a blink of an eye, and after that blink they have stolen every thing of yours. Thats why you have to catch them on the act."

I looked up at Mike. He was trying not to blink. I looked at his hands, he was pulling up his gun.

"So you can't blink, and if you do...they run?"

"Yep."

Then speedingly Mike pulled up his gun and shot it. The runner disapeared with a trail of blue dust behind him. Mike started spinning, following the trail of blue dust. He aimed his gun again and shot. This time hitting the runner. It fell to the ground. Mike ran over to it started to search it. When Mike pulled open its jacket, there was a giant dagger inside. Mike smiled as he picked it up and put it in his backpack. There was some coins on him too.

"We need to find water." Mike said looking around.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because reapers will come here. They will smell us because we have the smell of this runner."

Then there was a terrible scream. We looked behind us and there was two reapers coming closer, and there was no place to hide.
