Chapter 21 - Ghosts

Darcie grinned at the child.

"What do you think the guys are going to find at the camp?" the older girl asked.

"A shit ton of walkers?"

"Stop swearing. You're too young."

"Shit's not a swear. It's a thing."

Darcie rolled her eyes at the child.

"You know, I've always looked up to you as a role model more than Tori," Kaylie admitted.

The older brunette whipped around.

"What?" she paused. "Actually, that explains a lot."

The boys were having troubles finding the military camp.

"Why is it so hard to find a walker filled camp?" Anthony asked.

"Just cause we don't know where they were coming from," Travis said.

"Damned walkers, coming out of nowhere," Leo said.

Five walker growls sounded to the right. The guys all stopped and looked that way. They slowly made their way toward the sound.

"Holy shit," Dawson whispered.

In front of them was a huge military camp. There were walkers everywhere and most of them were by the weapons tent.

"They all have helmets on," Anthony whined.

A walker walked by them. It stopped and growled at the four. It had a blood stained hoodie on. The walker roared at them and charged the bush they were hiding in. The guys all screamed and ran out of the area. The walker watched them leave. It turned around, walked away and began to chew on a elk horn.

The guys came running to the base, squealing like little girls.

"Oh. Shit. That was you guys. We thought a group of girls came to town," Darcie told them when they walked in.

"There was a fucking horde of them! There was a different type there too. It charged us, but didn't follow us for some reason," Leo said.

"What colour were his eyes?" Kaylie asked.

"Ice blue!" Anthony said.

Darcie stood up and walked away from the room only to return with a leather bound journal. She sat back down beside Kaylie and Dawson sat on her other side.

"What's that?" Anthony asked.

"Hunter's walker classification system. He had notes on all types of walkers and everything you need to know about them. I'm going to see if I can find something about ice blue eyes," Darcie explained.

She flipped through the pages looking quickly at eye colour.

"Nothing on blue eyes, let alone ice blue, and about charging but not attacking."

"So we're dealing with another new walker type?" Travis asked. "Did you even get a chance to record on shredded yet?"

"Yes, I put shredded into the book."

"Darcie?" Kaylie asked.

The older girl looked down at the younger.

"Maybe we should go investigate the base and see how big of babies the boys are being," she suggested.

"No! You two are not going to that camp!" Travis said.

"Too late," Darcie said.

She grabbed Kaylie and ran out of the base. Kaylie came running back in and grabbed Leo's and Dawson's guns and she quickly ran back out.
