Together

Meeting

- Brads POV -

I was beat down, after just experiencing my mom turn into some monster, then I had to kill her. My sister is with me, but that's it. We hurried down the what seemed as very long streets, we came to a stop, seeing a giant group of them things together. One of em grabbed my sister, I grabbed her other arm, as she struggled to get away. The thing bit her. "W-Why!!!!!" I yelled. Some how someone heard me. "Hey kid, cmere." It seemed like a girls voice. I ran towards it, I didn't really care what happened to me after losing my family.

There stood a group of seven, of what seemed like kids. "Kid, why're you yelling, you're gonna get yourself killed." The taller girl said. "I yelled because I just watched my family die." They all stood, shocked. "Toughen up." The tall girl said. After introducing each other, I learned their names, ages, and all. 

Brad - 13

Tom - 11

Lily - 11

Breanna - 16

Vivian - 13

Ethan - 13

Adam - 9

"So, you guys stay in the woods, alone?" I asked. "That's correct." Bre said. Once we got to their tents, I could hear murmuring from them, i'm guessing its about me. They walked up to me. "Looks like you get to stay." Bre said. I'm guessing she's the leader of this somewhat small group. "What is there for me to do?" I asked. "Right now, just hang tight, you'll find something." She said. 

Tom and Lily walked up to me. "Hi." Lily said. "H-Hi?" I was confused, none of them talked to me. Tom pulled me off the ground, "Cmon, were going to show you some things." Tom told me. "Alright." Ethan than walked up to us. "Woah, you aren't taking my sister anywhere with this freak!" He yelled. "Calm down, he wont hurt me." Lily told him. Ethan sighed, "I guess." We then began to head out of the woods.

About ten minutes later, we found our way to a house, it looked to be abandon.  "Why are we here?" I ask them. "Just cmon." They say together. We head to the back door, I didn't see anything wrong about it. As we entered you could smell something foul. "A-Ah, what is that?!" I looked ahead, and to my surprise, their was walkers everywhere. They pushed me forward, then running out shutting the door behind them. "What?" 

I found a kitchen knife, grabbing it. I aimed it at every one I could see. I continued to stab at them, I then ran to check the door. They had locked it behind them, and I could see there wasn't much choice, the front door or try upstairs. I bolted for the stairs, seeing a few door ways. "Um..." There was a window! I jumped from the second story, rolling. I pushed myself up, running back to their camp.

As I got there, They saw my surprised. Lily and Tom ran out towards me, I pointed the knife towards them. "Calm down..." Tom said. "Why, Why did you do that?!" I rose my voice. "It was a test..." He responded. "A test for what..?" I asked. "To see if you had the power to protect yourself, and obviously you passed." I put the knife in my jacket pocket, which I happened to have on when I left.
