Alone

Help

I walked along the overgrown streets of Santa Barbra and the dead bodies of both infected and non-infected, I grabbed the straps of my backpack and adjusted it on my shoulders.

"Man, what happened here?" I said to myself aloud as I looked at the bodies of dead non-infected all over the streets.

I stopped and kneeled down next to one of the bodies and flipped it over, I reached my hands into the pockets and searched for anything that was on the body. I sighed as I reached into the back pocket of the body and felt something.

I pulled it out and looked at it in my hands turning it around to look at the back of it, It was a pocket knife. I flicked open the knife and ran my fingers along the back part of the blade. The wood on the handle of it was black, the blade was straight and it looked about 9 inches.

"Thank god I won't have to make shivs anymore," I said to myself aloud again as I closed it and put it in my back pocket.

I stood up and began walking along the street again, while I was walking I heard a clicking sound. I quickly speed walked over to a big building and stood against the wall.

"Damn it I knew it was too good to be true" I reached into my back pocket and grabbed the pocket knife again and flicked it open at my side.

I moved forward a little bit, when I did the clicker stopped its movement and made a clicking noise while looking around. After a minute it clicked again and lurched forward and began to walk again.

"I still have to kill this don't I?" I asked myself aloud, I tend to do that a lot.

I quietly snuck up on the clicker and grabbed it by the neck and put it into a chokehold before stabbing it in the neck, much to my dissatisfaction it pushed me away and I stumbled back.

"Shit" I dodged the swing from its arms I quickly grabbed my gun with a bottle silencer on it and shot the infected in the head.

It fell limp on the ground and the silencer fell off of my gun, great now I've gotta find another bottle.

I started walking again, after an hour or so it started to get dark I looked around at what used to be stores and destroyed houses to try and find a suitable place for me to stay for the night. After about 20 minutes I found a house that was mostly still intact. I walked into the house and closed the front door behind me.

I began walking around the house and looking in draws and cabinets trying to see if anyone who was here before left some things behind. Much to my luck, I found some Alcohol, Bandages, and some canned food. I looked around the house some more to see if there was anything else but sadly there wasn't.

"God can't you just conveniently drop like a can open in front of me?" I said sighing and looking up at the ceiling.

I dropped my head back down and looked at the can, I leaned forward and pulled the knife from my back pocket, and flicked it open. I stuck the blade into the can and tried to make a tiny hole into the can. When I successfully did I slide the blade around the can and pried the top of the can open.

"Holy shit it worked," I said happily.

I closed the knife back and put it in my pocket again and grabbed one of the peaches from the can, what you thought I was going to use the pocket knife to eat with? People and infected have been killed with that thing it's gross.

When I finished the can of peaches I put the can on the coffee table and got up and cautiously walked out the back door. I looked around the back for a puddle of water to clean my hands with when I heard clicks and screams. I crouched down behind the fence connected to the house and peered around the corner.

It was a woman running from about 9 infected, my face paled as I thought of what would happen to the girl if she were to be caught. I know it was a stupid idea but I needed to help her, I quickly but quietly went back into the house and grabbed my bag I pulled out my rifle and pistol. I ran upstairs and got onto the roof from one of the windows.

I laid down on the roof and made sure my rifle was loaded I opened the bolt and checked, it was loaded I closed it back and looked into the scope. I aimed at one of the infected and fired the gun, I hit it in the chest and it fell to the ground. The girl looked up at me from the ground along with the infected, some yelled but when the girl threw a bottle at one of them they turned their attention back onto her.

She had her shotgun out and fired it at one of the infected it flew back and fell limp on the ground alright 2 down 7 more to go. I pulled back the bolt handle and an empty chamber fell out and another bullet slid into the bolt. I looked into the scope again and aimed at the head of one of the infected and pulled the trigger the infected died on the spot.

She then shot her gun and killed two infected that were running to her at the same time. I cleared the bolt again and looked into the scope and aimed it right in front of her I then saw her wave at me I pulled the gun away from my face and looked at her she looked back at the infected and pulled a molotov cocktail out of her bag and threw it at the remaining infected.

I quickly got down from the roof and went back into the house and set the gun down by the back door and put my pistol in the back of my pants. I went to the front door and opened it and stuck half of my body out of the door and waved to the girl standing in the street out of breath.

"come inside quickly before any more come" I walked outside and grabbed her arm and led her into the house.

I closed the door after I let go of her wrist and stood in front of her. I waved my hand in front of her face and she didn't respond, I crossed my arms over my chest and walked closer to her.

"Hello, are you ok?" I said taking my hand and poking her in her arm.

She finally looked at me and she looked startled.

"Sorry" She apologized grabbing her right hand and that's when I noticed that she was missing two of her fingers.

"Hey um, are you alright how did that happen an infected didn't do that did it?" I asked putting my hand on my pistol in the back of my pants.

She stood silent for a little bit before answering me.

"No it didn't" She answered quietly.

I took my hand off of my pistol and put my hand back at my side.

"Then what happened if you don't mind me asking"

She shook her head from side to side.

"Yes I mind," She said quietly.

I shook my head and walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. I set my feet on the coffee table.

"Well you can stay here with me tonight if you have nowhere to go"

She walked over to the couch and sat down on the couch next to me and set her bag next to the couch.

"Thanks"

"No problem" I smiled at her and held my hand out. "I'm Y/N"

"Ellie. Ellie Williams"
