Zombie Apocalypse Metranome Virus

Chapter 11

Recap:

I awoke gasping for breath. I was covered in sweat and my muscles were hurting more than ever. My head swam and I felt like I was going to blackout. "I'm so sorry, Brittany." I whispered and felt my tears coming forward.

Tj's POV

I was awoken by the door to my room slamming open. I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting them to the light and looked up to see Daniel standing in the doorway. He had a smirk on his face.

"What are you smiling about?" I spat.

"Oh, there's far too much not to smile about." He said.

"What nonsense are you talking now?"

"The games." He smiled even wider.

"If I didn't know any better, I would think you've been drinking something."

He laughed. "Come on, we're leaving." He walked to me and took out a pair of handcuffs he had on his belt.

He untied me and quickly cuffed my wrist together. He picked me up and my legs wobbled a bit. I took a deep breath and stood straight. I don't know how long I've been tied to that bed, but it took a tole on my legs.

Daniel pushed my in the bed and I sat up looking at him. He hefted a bag from the doorway and threw it on his back. He walked to me and threw me towards the door.

I grunted and stood up. I turned to him, ready to jump at him but found myself looking at a pistol. "You walk. Any funny business and I will shoot you. Understood?" He said.

I looked at him and just turned my back on him.

"That's what I thought." I heard him say.

I walked down the stairs with Daniel right behind me. I made it to the door and I stopped. I looked at Daniel and he nodded.

I reached up and slowly opened the door and stepped outside. The crisp cool air brushed  

against my skin and I breathed deeply. The air rushed to my lungs and I felt my eyes water.

The air breeze felt so amazing after being locked in that room. Daniel pushed me forward and I started walking. "Walk about 15 minutes North until you find a fence. I'll take it from there." He whispered to me.

I looked around a pond noticed a few stray zombies. I quietly made my way north, watching for any zombies. I don't think I could take any with these handcuffs on, and I'm pretty sure Daniel would make a run for it while I was trying to keep myself alive.

I walked for about 15 minutes like Daniel said and I could see a large chain-link fence ahead. "Whoa." I said. The fence was about 20 feet tall with barbwire snaked around the top. The links looked heavy duty. Daniel was crazy if he thought we were getting over or through this thing.

Daniel stepped forward and cupped his hands and raised them to his face. He made a bird whistle and I looked at him stupidly. He was just going to attract more zombies. I looked around and I noticed their heads snap in our direction. I looked into their hungry eyes and heard a growl.

"Um, Daniel?" I asked, not taking my eyes away from the horde of zombies quickly forming.

Daniel stood next to my still looking at the fence with no expression on his face.

More and more zombies were appearing in front of us, only feet away. I could feel their need. How badly they wanted to rip us apart. Then my dream of Brittany flashed through my mind. A mix of emotions flashed through me but I quickly pushed them away.
