(REVISED) The frigid air sliced through my weary lungs, each breath a sharp sting of broken glass. The scent of impending rain hung heavy in the atmosphere, adding to the urgency that pulsed through my veins. I pushed my exhausted body forward, leaping over fallen branches and dodging the gnarled roots that threatened to trip me.
A quick glance over my shoulder confirmed my worst fear. The lifeless predators, their eyes vacant and hunger evident, were closing in, their relentless pursuit unyielding. Fear gripped my chest, amplifying the pain coursing through my limbs, but I couldn't afford to slow down.
As I whipped my head back around to focus on my path, my foot collided with an obstacle, sending me sprawling to the forest floor. The impact rattled my bones, stealing the breath from my lungs. My heart hammered in my chest as I struggled to regain my senses, the world spinning in a disorienting blur.
And then, through the haze of confusion, I saw it. Or rather, someone. A figure stood before me, their features obscured by the dim light filtering through the dense canopy. Panic surged within me, unsure if this unexpected encounter would be a savior or a new threat.
The cold air, the impending storm, the relentless pursuit, and now this mysterious presence-all converged in a chaotic symphony, leaving me teetering on the precipice of the unknown.

"Carl," he stops and looks at you. "Get away from her."
"Why?" Carl simply asks.
"Come here," Rick tells him. Carl looks over at you, then Rick. He shakes his head no. "I didn't ask you, I'm telling you."
Rick grits his teeth. Carl reluctantly obeys. You watch him as he leaves eyes never loosing contact with his. Rick shuts the door cautiously. As soon as you hear it shut, you stroll over to the door and press your ear against the thin wood. You could hear Rick's faint voice.
"Carl. Keep watch over her," he whispers. "She's dangerous."
"What do you mean? She's a kid. Just like me. What makes her any different?" Carl defends you. Your heart begins to thud. He's protecting you. Just like what any and every body guard should do.
