The Girl with the Samurai Sword (The Walking Dead Fanfiction)

Chapter 4 The Road Ahead

We have just exit our room and we head down to the parking lot carefully.

Terry and Mike put our bags in the pick-up while I put André in his car seat.

I decided to drive, Mike on the passenger's seat and Terry at the back with André.

My katana was set beside me, ready in case. Speaking of my katana, I haven't talked about the design itself.

First of all, the handle is wrapped in white leather. The tsuba (handguard) has the Trinity of Life symbol. Blade design - there's the Triple Goddess Symbol.

For the scabbard (sheath, case) is wrapped in white leather as the same length as my back and down beneath is brown leather. A brown leather strap is also attached so I can sling it to my back.

We have left the condo premises. On our drive through Atlanta, we could see all the damage done to the city.

"Mommy, was there a fire in every building?" André asks me, while he is leaning on the car window watching the city.

I couldn't just tell him THE DEAD AROSE FROM THEIR GRAVES. I had to think of something else.

I wasn't able to come up with another explaination, so I had to tell him what happened.

"André, the world has been taken over by the dead. They rise and feed on human flesh. If you get bit or scratched, you will turn to one of them. Don't worry, Mommy will keep you very safe."

I instructed Terry to keep him away from the windows, or else the dead will spot him and we'll be surrounded.

"Crap. Look at what's happened!" Mike exclaimed

I give a look around, and yes it's true. Mostly EVERYTHING has gone to hell.

While we were driving, I saw what it looked to me was Mrs. McDonell, who has already turned. I drove hurriedly out of the city, not wanting to see more people I know.

There was a road ahead of us and there was a highway. I drove over it and Mike instructed me to stop.

"I'm going HIGHWAY TO HELL!!!" Terry sang, as always - off-key.

Mike and I didn't laugh, assuming we didn't hear anything.

On the highway, we found about 6 of the dead ones.

"Terry, you stay here with André, whilst Mike and I will kill them. Mike, you take out 2 of them, I got 4." I thoroughly explained my plan and both men nod.

"Mommy, where are you going?" André asks me, unfortunately I have shut the car door and went out to kill the deads (yeah, deads!)

Mike is using a spiked aluminum baseball bat which he found in our attic.

I come in, swinging my sword and chopping off 2 heads at once. I sliced off cleanly the head of another and decided to take up my blade in the air and hit the last one in the middle of the head.

My 3rd kill was still alive, since you need to kill the brain. I use my boot and stomp on the live head, and it dies.

"You okay?" I ask Mike who is panting, his baseball bat full of blood.

"Gotta be." Mike replied, looking at the dead corpses.

We went back in to the car and I told them we sleep in the car for tonight, since it's getting dark and we don't have any place to go to, anyways. The men nodded at me and so did I at them.
