Danger

Its been days since we've been on the road, we'd stop occassionally for a break but i said not to go out as there might be more zombies out, and we dont have that much time to fight. The men would step out sometimes, but that was to only refill the gas tank, we didnt want it to go low and be stranded in literally in the middle of nowhere, with zombies ready to eat us.

Ever since we saw the zombie back in Oregon, we've seen an increase of them on the roads. We're still clueless about this virus, we dont know how long it takes for them to turn. But all we know is that its a zombie and its best if we dont approach it. We were now in Idaho, almost at Wyoming. We stopped first to get some more gas, we were running out.

I was tasked to stay here with Joey and Alaina, protecting the others while Ezekiel and Evan were out getting gas. Our food supply was far from diminishing, as Alaina had splurged before we went out of the small town. We changed the seats, one of the second row seat was put down completely for it to be easy access to get to the back.

I was currently outside, circling the car defensively. We were in the middle of the road, abit far but still close enough from the gas station. We couldnt go to the gas station, as car were piled up at the side of road. Its been stuck there for awhile, as it was collecting dust. We were completely alone in the road, so i was in protective mode as i heard shuffling.

I go to the back of the truck to open it, i was getting the recurve bow i bought when i noticed there were another two flat cases. I open it in curiousity and i couldnt contain the smirk on my lips. There were two long katanas, black and white handles, i pick it up in delightment. To think they would hide it from me, i wasnt upset or anything, i just found it ironic considering they bought two katanas. I contained my excitement again, switching to fight mode again as i heard more shuffling.

I closed the trunk, turning around as i walk circling the car defensively. Joey seemed to notice the change in my demeanor because he had turn on the lock for the car. And there it was, zombies had come out of hiding. I breath in a deeply, holding the katana infront of me ready to slash through them through shaky hands. Once they noticed me, they immediately walked towards me fast. I try to calm myself down my nerves were going haywire as i was face to face with a bunch of zombies. I slashed through one of the zombies that was almost close to me, the body dropping down.

I wasnt gonna be the one getting closer to them, i was gonna let them be the one to come to me. There were three more, each of them having a different complexion. Their organs were out and i couldnt stand the smell, coughing out. I slashed through it once they were near me. Suddenly, gunshots were heard from the distance. Shit! That must be Evan and Ezekiel!

I grunted in annoyance, more and more zombies went out of hiding. I couldnt keep still now, my body moving on its own as i made my way to the zombies near me and slashing them in half. Blood pooled around the pavement, some were scattered on me. I get more and more annoyed, as i get stained more. I groan in annoyance when one of the zombies was ready to bite my legs, but before it could bite me, i immediately stomp on its head. The bones cracking under pressure, and its brain being crushed. I try to contain the vomit on my throat, and it lead to no avail as i coughed out. The smell was horrid, and worms had come out.

The gunshots were getting closer and closer to us, and i could see them running fast in the distance. Through shaky hands, i slash through the last zombie, the adrenaline still cruising through my veins as Evan and Ezekiel get closer and closer. I walk fastly towards them, the katana in my hand as i swing it with one hand to the zombies, their bodies dropping down like flies.

I panted as i run towards Evan and Ezekiel, slashing through the zombies behind them that were continously pouring out. "Thanks for the gift!" I shouted at them jokingly as they were putting the gas inside the car. Soon, they were inside and the car was up and running towards me, i pull at the car handle once it stopped, getting inside immediately and Joey immediately drove off.

I panted, trying to catch my breath as i look around. "You guys okay?" I asked, "Yea, we're good." Evan replied, he was also trying to catch his breath, same with Ezekiel. I only nodded my head as i couldnt trust myself with opening up my mouth as i felt like i was close to vomiting. My hands were shaky, my clothes were splattered in blood. Im in desperate need of change of clothes, i dont want the kids to see me like this. I use the back of my hand to wipe off the blood in my face that was splattered. I was covered in sweat, my polo was clinging to my body like it was a second skin, not in a comfy way.

Alaina passes me the one of the wipes before giving me the whole pack. She was averting her gaze, since she was a kid she didnt like the sight of blood, ironic considering she was trying to be a doctor. I wipe my hands before my face, the blood transfering on the wipes. I noticed the blood was unusually really dark. It was almost a black reddish color.

Huh, seems like ive discovered how the virus affects the person. This would be good, we'll be able to differentiate bitten people from us in the long run. I pass the wipes towards the guys, they immediately wiped off the sweat from their body. I take out my jacket, i dont want it to stain the car seat, thank fully there werent any as the blood only splattered in my front.

My skin shivers from the cold wind, and i rub my hands together to get some heat. I cant get sick right now, i cant afford for that to happen. Alaina seemed to have notice that so she gave me a spare blanket. I mumble a small thank you before wrapping it on my body, immediately releasing some tension on my body.
