Third Person POV
It has been a week since Ella had met the cannibals. She had lost her ways a couple of different times. And seeing as she just found a map she is now back on the correct path. It has been a rough week. But she keeps going. Ella feels as though she needs to find her brother. And the only thing she can think of is going to their old hideout. The place they would both go if they had a bad day. An old abandoned warehouse. The two siblings would go there if everything got too much. So that is where she is going. But before she can get there. She runs into many problems.
Ella leans against a tree panting. Her chest rising and falling fast. She looks back behind her from where she was running from. And she sees twenty or so zombies walking to where she is. The hoard has gone down since she has last checked. Ella has been running all night and all morning. Only getting small breaks. At first it was a group of ten humans that was chasing her and trying to kill her. They had cornered her into a building. So Ella opened the back room door and a big hoard of zombies came out.
Ella ran while the group was distracted. But zombies began to follow her. After hearing the other groups' gunshots. So she ran but as she ran more and more zombies joined the hoard that was after her. So she kept running. Only stopping every once and awhile. And only if the hoard was far enough away from her to be safe for at least a couple minutes. Ella takes a deep breath and closes her eyes for a second trying to ignore the pain in her leg and feet. Her leg hurting from getting shot from the ten-person group. When she was running from them and the zombies.
One of the people shot her and called her a bitch. Now all she can do is hope she can get away from the zombies. Just so she can take care of her wound and take a nice long rest. So Ella takes a deep breath. She pushes herself off the tree as she hears the zombies get closer. She continues to run. It isn't until she sees a tall building from a town does she relax a little. Ella runs into the city and looks around. Her heart beating fast. And her breath short and raged.
She looks around and sees a tall building and runs to it. Ella runs around the building and climbs up the ladder that is on the side of it. Once she is up she takes off her backpack and flops on her back onto the food. Ella takes a bunch of deep breaths to try to calm down. Ella sits up and pulls her backpack closer to her body. She pulls out her medical supplies and sits them beside her. She then rolls up her pants leg making it so she can see the hole in her calf. She looks around and sees there is no exit wound.
"Well fuck, this is gonna be a bitch" Ella says. She grabs some long tweezers and cleans them. She then feels around in the wound until she hits the bullet. Ella takes a deep breath then pulls the bullet out of her calf. Once it is out she takes a bunch of deep breaths and closes her eyes tightly. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck." She says quietly in pain. She then continues to clean the wound as she breathes deeply in pain. She raps the bullet wound then rolls her pants leg back down.
Ell then put everything away. She then pulls her bag behind her and lays down. Putting her head on the bag. Ella looks up at the sky and watches as the clouds float by. "Lucas, You better be ok you little shit. If you die before me. I will bring you back to life as a human. Beat the shit out of you. Then kill you again." Ella says into thin air. Hoping her little brother gets the message. "I need to do my tag. I'll stay here for the night or.. Maybe longer if need be." She tells herself as she gets up and grabs a spray can.
She looks around and sees no zombies around. So she climbs down and spray paints her tag. Then she paints an arrow pointing up onto the roof. With a small nod of approval she climbs the ladder back up to the roof. She puts the spray can back into her bag. She flops back onto her back and sighs deeply. Ella's eyes begin to close as she enjoys the warmth of the sun beaming down on her body. Ella makes a tiny noise of happiness from the warmth. Happy that the zombie apocalypse started in the summer and not the winter.
Without her knowledge she sleeps all the rest of that day and that night. Ell opens her eyes and looks around trying to rap her head around where she is. That is until the events of the past week come back into her head. She sighs and checks the time on her watch. She sees it is only 7am. Ella rubs her eyes to get rid of the sleep. And as he does her stomach growls. 'When did I last eat?' She quietly asks herself. She begins to think back. But the past week has been hard and long.
Ella shrugs and gets into her backpack. She looks around and can only find a single can of peaches, a granola bar, and two water bottles. Ella sighs and looks at her throbbing leg. "I need to go look for supplies..... But i can't fucking walk. What the fuck do I do?" Ella asks herself as she hits her head with her hand. Ella opens the can of peaches and begins to slowly eat them with one of her small clean knives. As she eats she takes a couple small sips from one of the water bottles. Her leg and head throbbing in pain. The leg hurts from getting shot. And her head hurting from dehydration.
