Survive

Chapter 13 Escape

"Day 20, or 30, heck I don't know." I was slowly running out of bandages and my wounds weren't healing fast enough. "I need to get out of this room." I started to search through my bag and found one of Pvt.'s plastic explosives and the detonator. I decided to place it on the wall and detonate so i could get straight outside instead of running through the building. "Wait, this room is pretty small, I could kill myself from the explosion!" I pulled the key from to the door from my pocket. I unlocked the door and snuck out. There was a pool of blood outside of the door and I slipped in it. "SON OF A!" I heard the running through the halls. "Oh no, they're coming!" I pulled the detonator from my shirt pocket and pushed the button. There was a loud explosion and my ears started ringing. I turned my head and saw an infected rushing toward me. I dizzily got up and ran for the hole in the wall. Just as I reached the outside, the infected tackled me to the ground. I was trying to push it off of me but I was to weak. It was getting closer and closer to my jugular. I was reaching for a weapon and found nothing. I saw a name tag on the infected's shirt. "Lets hope this works!" I ripped the name tag off its shirt and stabbed it through its eyes multiple times and eventually killed it. "Finally!" I grabbed my bag and headed down the road. As I was walking, a car came down the road towards me. Two men and a women jumped out of the car with guns ready. "Who are you?" "Im just a guy trying to get back with my group." "Get in the car!" "Why do I have to?" "Just do it if you want to stay alive." They took my bag and searched me for anything useful then pushed me in the car and started driving the opposite way that I needed to go. They both had guns in there hands. They didn't point them at me. I bet they had them to make them look tougher, they aren't going to shoot me. "You aren't going to shoot me." "I will if I have to so shut up!" I ripped the gun from her hands. The women yelled at me. "Good luck, the guns aren't even loaded!" The man in the back seat yelled out. "Why did you tell him that!" I hit him in the face with the gun, grabbed his knife, and slit the drivers throat. The woman started screaming. "Im sorry, please don't kill me!" The car started to swerve. I grabbed the wheel of the car, lifted the mans foot from the gas and slowly stop at the side of the road. I quickly grabbed my hunting rifle from my bag and put it to her head. "Where were you taking me!" "To our camp in North Dakota." "Why did you come all of the way to Washington." "We found a radio signal about a helicopter crash in Washington from a doctor trying to contact an army lab in Minnesota." "You didn't answer my question." "We needed the doctor because ours was killed and we thought he could help with a cure." "Did you get those people?" "Yea and they said something about their friend that was trapped in the area and that he would only help if we got him, is your name Adam?" "Yes it is." "Yes! I gotta call this in!" I put the gun closer to her head. "No you don't! What your gonna do is lead me to your camp and then we will help you out with that cure for your group." "Okay lets go." We drove for a long time, stopping and scavenging for fuel and supplies. Finally, we arrived about a mile from the camp. "Not much further." As we could visibly see the camp, I slowly pulled out my knife. "So, are we close?" "Yea, this is the-." I stabbed her in the side of her head, grabbed my bag and the woman's radio and snuck up to the camp. I saw a few men standing over Austin, Ashley, and Pvt. "Dude, where are they, they said they would be back in a few days, its been almost a week. Call Natalia again." The radio started to go off, luckily I was far enough away so they couldn't hear it. I pulled out my crossbow and shot a bolt into one of the three men. One of them started yelling into the radio. "Guys, are you close?" "Somebody just shot Thomson!" "Get here fast!" I put the radio up to my face. "Well isn't that a shame." "To bad its gonna happen to you too." The man replied. "Who are you!" "That doesn't matter, all that does is you letting my friends go!" "I'll get the doctors, you handle this guy." The man pulled out a pistol and put it to Austin's head as the other guy took Ash and Pvt. away. Right before he pulled the trigger, I shot a bolt straight into his head. I ran down to Austin and untied him. "How did you get out of that room?" "Long story, I'll tell you later, right now we need to save everyone." I handed him my bow. "Stay silent, okay." "Got it." "Alright, lets do this!"
