My legs start shaking once it turns dark. Damn. I crouch in a corner and sigh. Why did I do this? This was so stupid of me. Well at least no one followed me. I wipe my palms on my pants and stand back up. Moans start to get loud. My heart starts to pound.

I close my eyes and take slow breathes. They can smell you. They can smell you. Don't be afraid. I clutch the bat and start to walk towards the moans. But then I heard shuffling feet behind me. Im surrounded. God help me. I turn around and scan the darkness. Nothing.. I tune back around. More shuffling. I jump and raise my bat.

"Please don't swing."

Shawn!! I drop the bat and follow his voice. Shawn comes out the darkness and hugs me. Misha comes out too. She smiles.

"We thought you would need some help fighting these suckers." She whispers. Shawn takes the bat and laughs.

"We can leave this here. There is maybe more valuable weapons out there." He looks over his shoulder and gasps.

"What?" Misha pushes herself to say out loud.

"We have one."

He raises the bat and swings forcefully at the creature. A loud shriek escapes it. It's arms flail around and holds onto the bat.

"I can use a little help!"

Misha lunges at the monster and makes its hand fall. Shawn picks the bat back up and scoots over. Misha picks herself up. Once again, Shawn hits the zombie and it finally stops to move.

Suddenly a light comes from the sky. The sounds of a helicopter fill the air. Shawn smiles and turns to us.

"Cmon we just came out." Shawn yells.

Misha steps forward into the light and tilts her head. "You really think they're here to finally save us?"

"Want to go check it out?" I smile.

"Kendall, Misha, and Shawn will go find out" Shawn puts a hand in the air and laughs.

"Shall we go then?" I ask. I lock my fingers together with Shawn's. Misha laughs and claps her hands. Shawn squeezes my hand and starts to take off.

"Freedom?" Misha screams while we run.

"Let's find out" I say.

I look around and see Misha smile. Then I see Shawn. His eyes fill with happiness and he turns to me.

"We're saved" He mouths.

I smile slightly and we run to the helicopter.

We're saved.
