I quickly reach for my knife that was in its holster resting on my belt. I made quick stealthy movements to dodge the walker that was coming for me trying to get to my flesh. It was so quiet, you could only hear the walker moaning, its teeth chomping and it's broken foot dragging slowly across the pavement. I finally quit messing around and stab it in the head causing the creature to fall to the ground with blood oozing out of its head. I quickly retract my knife from the walkers head seeing its blood slowly dripping from the once clean knife. I wipe both sides of the blade on my pants trying to clean it the best I can before putting it back in its Holster on my belt. I let a low "clear" out then I suddenly hear a few twigs snap before my 15 year old ragged looking little brother appeared in front of my face. I look into his bright hazel eyes searching for an emotion. I could tell he was starving. He wasn't use to the dead roaming the earth, he wasn't used to leaving everything behind but more importantly he wasn't used to loosing the people that he was really close to or the people that he loved. He never did have the time to learn to hunt or fish or anything that could keep him alive if something ever happened to me or we got separated from each other. So the only way he knew how to somewhat survive was to run.

**** Flashback****

I came back from college when i was about 19. I was about to teach Caleb all the survival instincts he needed to know but my father had told me that he hasn't been able to make enough money to pay all the bills that needed to be paid in order to keep the land. Caleb was still young at the time so there wasn't a lot he could do to help the cause. Another thing was Caleb had to take care of our mother. Not long after i left for college she became very ill. I gave dad the great idea that we should start making and selling moonshine. I mean why not i didn't see him coming up with any ideas to save the farm. That's what me and dad did we made moonshine and sold it to people in town and that is also the way we paid off our dept in almost a year. As soon as things started to get even better for our family the world went to complete shit. Then not long after me and Caleb lost both our parents. I remember the horrific memory like it was only yesterday. Me and Caleb were standing outside standing in the barn with our father standing next to the both of us examining the broken boiler. He looked down at his watch noticing it was lunch time. he quickly sighed to himself as he lazily dragged his hand down his face.

"Blair im gonna go get ya mamas food teach Caleb what to do to fix it." he explained

"Ok father" i exclaim as i see our father disappear from the barn and off towards the house.

After about 5 to 10 minutes me and Caleb both heard an ear ringing scream. We both had gave each other confused and questioning looks. Without wasting any more time both me and Caleb took off outta the barn in a sprint towards the house. I quickly ran in the house and up the stairs to our mom Rosie's room where the scream's came from. My eyes grew wide as i see my mom on top of my dad ripping his stomach eating at his insides. Once Caleb seen the scene that was in front of us he dropped to the floor on his knees holding his hands over his ears as he cried. The thing that was eating our dad heard Caleb's cries and turned towards us with blood running down its mouth as it slowly stood to a standing position. I quickly grabbed my 22 pistol that i always had in the waistband on my jeans. I quickly cock the gun and pull the trigger with tears streaming down my face. I take a few steps towards my dad as i look into his eyes. he gave me a pleading look to put him out of his misery. I cock my gun again and raise it to my fathers head. I whisper a low and sad 'i love you' before pulling the trigger and collapsing to the floor. I see Caleb out of the corner of my eye and i then realize i have to pull myself together and be strong for the both of us. i quickly get to my feet and wipe the remainder of tears from my face before finally speaking to Caleb. I put one hand on his shoulder and look down on him before finally speaking

"Caleb go pack your stuff,we have to go, only pack the things we need in order to survive."

Caleb didn't argue but he quickly stood to his feet also wiping the remainder of his tears off and heading off towards his room to grab what im assuming was his bags. I slowly walk out of what was once my parents rooms closing the door behind me as i went. While Caleb was raiding the kitchen of the food he could i decided to go out to the barn with my backpack. Since Caleb was getting all the food and water he could find i had decided to go get my secret stash of liquor. As i walk into the barn i go to where me and my friends had hid before i had went off to college. To my surprise no one found the stash. I quickly stuff the few jars of home made moonshine and the 5th of Jack Daniels into my bag before zipping it up and putting it on my back. As i was about to walk out of the barn i noticed a couple of my throwing knifes and a few of my regular knifes i had used when i was about 13 or 14. I grab them and also stash them in my bag before going back into the house to get caleb so we could leave. As i walked in i noticed all the kitchen cabinets were open and the food was gone so that means he was probably up in his room. As i walk up the stairs and into his room i see him sitting on the bed with a picture in his hand, as i got closer i noticed the picture was of me,him,mom and dad the day i graduated college. He soon noticed my presence and as I looked into his eyes I could see a lonesome tear slip down his cheek. I walked over to him and lightly ruffled his hair before speaking

"Come on bud we gotta get out of here"

All he did was nod and slowly slipped the picture into his bag before swinging it over his shoulder and we left.

**** End of Flashback****

"Blair I want food and sleep" he says desperately

"I know bud let's keep walking we might come upon so,where we can stop for awhile"

All he does is nod and we were back on our way walking down an empty highway. As we were walking I notice a little sign that says 'greene farm'. The place looked secure with fences around it and a White House. I quickly turn my head to look at caleb.

"We might be able to stay here for the night and maybe find some f-"
I was quickly cut off by hearing the cock of something behind both me and caleb. After a few minutes of silence I hear a deep southern voice

"Who the hell are ya and what do ya want?" He quickly demands

I raise my hands a little in surrender as I nod at caleb to do the same.

"Look we aren't looking for trouble, me and my little brother were just looking for somewhere to stay the night amd maybe find so,e food."

"Well I cant let ya go I'll take ya to rick and let him decide what we do with ye but for now, I cant take any chances"

I quickly turn around to be met with the butt of what I'm guessing was a crossbow or a gun I couldn't tell but the darkness quickly took over me. All I could think about was what was going to happen, who this 'Rick' person is, if caleb was ok and what they were going to do with us
