Will They Get Me?

Finding Dad

Nicole's POV

I look back to the person who was holding me and it was Carl. Carl and I start running through the forest towards the other shouts. I quickly tell him my plan. We get to the place where the shouting was louder at. You could see around 30 zombies pressing in on the clearing we go to the nearest trees and quickly start climbing them. When we reach a point where we had clear shots on the zombies that were surrounding

"Dad!" I yell to Carl.

"You shoot dad I shoot you!" He yells back.

And with that we start mowing down zombies. Zombie after zombie I shot down again and again. My dad, being a police had taught us how to shoot. He had never taught Sara, but Sara was really good at figuring things out so she would probably be able to figure it out. The zombies were slowly dwindling in numbers.

Suddenly I see something behing Daryl. It was a zombie, (shocker) and it was behind his back, waiting for the right moment to bite and start feasting. I couldn't shoot it without shooting dad. I didn't care anymore. The only thing on my mind was to save dad. I jump down from my tree, branches scratching me all over and almst blinding me. I land hard on my ankles, and one twists down and I almost yell but I couldn't attract the zombies attention so I bit down hard on my lip, piercing the skin and blood leaks down my chin.

I limp as fast as I can towards dad. When I'm halfway there I realize I was really stupid and could have just yelled from my tree for dad to turn around. But then I realize that if he turned around the zombie probably would've tried to bite him and succeded.  So I continue to limp towards him and hear Carl yell my name. I ignore him, and continue walking. I finally reach the clearing and shock falls on me.

I was too late.
