Creativities Dead End (Book 1, Series 1) (Zombie Apocalypse Au)

Daylan marched down the empty road, determined to find his mom and get away from the world. He stopped in his tracks and looked around at his surroundings. He listened to screaming air as the wind grew harsh.

His brown hair danced in the wind. He stumbled back, almost like the wind was warning him.

He looked down the road to see a large horde of zombies making their way to him. Though it sounded like more were nearby. Daylan turned around and ran for the camp. The thudding of his feet matched the beats of his heart which was growing faster each second.

"Hey!" He yelled as the camp gates grew closer. He panted loudly before catching sight of more zombies in the woods. Where were they coming from? Why now?

He caught sight of a couple that looked like children. Some looked like teens.

"Shit is there surrounding camps!?"

He turned the corner into the camp. "HEY!!!" He screamed. Anyone outside looked at him in confusion. Some got in a defensive position. "THERE ARE WALKERS ON THEIR WAY HERE!!!"

Virtual emerged from the tent, Alistair, Spot, and Kitty following her. "What do you mean?"

"Walkers! They are pouring in from the woods!" Daylan exclaimed.

"Alright! Everyone grab your weapons!" Spot yelled as she ran off to warn others. Campers ran off to grab a weapon if they didn't already have them on hand. Everyone was hyped up, ready to go. Daylan led the way up to the road to See Ezmeralda and Oliver had already gotten there.

Ezmeralda had her Rifle on hand while Oliver had a back up gun and Ammo for her, as well as his own weapon as needed.

"Howd you get up here so fast you spider-" Thomas joked at Ezmeralda before glaring at Oliver.

"Its called believing someone the first time. They are moving in." Ezmeralda looked into the scope and aimed.

Some of the campers thought it was weird that Ezmeralda, a right hand dominant person, shot guns and Bows with her left hand. She said she is Left eye dominant and its easier to shoot that way. That's what she left it at.

She quietly mumbled to herself, "TABK- T- Treat every firearm like its loaded, A- Always control the muzzle, B- Be aware of your surroundings and beyond, and K- Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until ready to sho-"

BAM!

She shot the rifle and it blasted open the heads of two zombies.

BAM!

Another one.

Everyone else joined in. People with close range weapons stood behind those with guns as to stay away from the line of fire and to have their backs. The first person to run out of ammo was Ezmeralda. She slinged the rifle over her shoulder and pulled out a handgun.

She was less accurate with the hand gun so she backed off and let the others take the lead.

"There is a couple zombies that way-" Oliver exclaimed, pointing towards the direction of the city where 5 zombies were waltzing down the street for them. Becca and Spot ran after them. Ezmeralda, however caught sight of a figure in the woods wearing a yellow hood.

They seemed to be watching them.. trying to hide....

They noticed that Ezmeralda saw them and went running.

Ezmeralda chased.

"Ez-!?" Oliver yelled out, going to grab her arm. She slipped through his fingers and disappeared. "Hey! Stop!"
