They packed all that they could carry and then some. Jim couldn’t believe that they were about to find survivors, he was happy because of it. Yet, he remembered that the last time his friends found survivors: The girls were almost raped and he almost died. What if it was another trap? He couldn’t risk all there lives just for nice place to rest.
Jim walked over to Selena, who was making sure they were going in the right direction towards the dark smoke.

“Selena, I’ve been thinking, what if it’s another trap? How do we know that these people are for real or it they have other plans for us?” asked Jim

“Well, we won’t know till we meet them. I think we should have a plan for when we meet these people. And if that doesn‘t work, we‘ve got our guns.” said Selena. “Guys, come here. We have to make sure to go in with a game plan-”

“What do you think this is basketball?” interrupted Kyle

“No, it isn’t. But, last time we walked blindly into the help of others, it was a trap. A trap that almost killed Jim, we don’t want that to happen again.” said Selena. “We should first be on guard-”

“Arrgh!” The yell echoed through the woods, freezing Jim, Kyle, Selena, and Hannah.

“O snap,” said Kyle, reaching into his bag, pulling out a gun as did everyone else.

“Everyone back to back, so it can’t sneak up on us!” said Jim

They all got back to back facing every direction, ready for the infected. More echoes came from the woods, there had to be more than one.

“Lets get a move on, maybe we can ditch them.” whispered Hannah.

“I doubt it, but lets go.” said Kyle

They began to walk quietly through the woods, guns drawn, hoping that the infected would give up there search. Bushes began to shake as Selena drew up her gun.

“ARRGH!” screamed a male infected. It jumped out of the bushes and ran towards the group. Bullets began to fly as the infected ran closer. Soon the infected was face first on the ground crawling to the group, it wasn’t going to give up. Selena walked up to the infected and shot him in the head, blood splattered everywhere on her, but Selena held a smile. Bring on the infected, she thought.

“Arrgh!” screamed another infected, leaping from the bushes, hidden from sight. Time stood still as the infected lunged for Selena, she didn’t have time to react. Jim reached out for Selena as a loud blast shook the tree. They all stood frozen as the infected fell to the ground dead, with a bullet hole in it’s head.

“The thing about those Ragers are that there are always more where they came from.” said a mysterious voice. The group turned around to see there who shot the infected and saw a girl, standing near a tree with a rifle in her arms.

“The world‘s going to hell and your just going to stand there?” asked the girl

They all looked at each other and nodded, if this girl was good or bad, they would have to deal with it later.

“What’s your name?” asked Hannah as they began to weave through the forest.

“It’s Amy,” replied the girl now known as Amy. She had fair skin, bright green eyes, her curly brown hair that was in a ponytail. She was just as tall as Kyle and seemed to be about 20. The weirdest thing about her was that she didn’t sound English at all, she sounded American.

Amy took out a walkie talkie and was about to talk into it when a large man came up from behind the trees. The man was tall, dark and arms that looked like they could bench press a dumpster.

“Hey Neal, meet the newbies.” said Amy

“Newbies? We’ve been dealing with infected before you even came to England.” said Selena, she must have caught on to Amy’s accent.

“Yeah, right” said Amy, rolling her eyes. “Meet the guys who couldn’t stay hidden from a few infected for 5 minutes. Like I said, newbies.”

Selena was about to fire back at her when Jim grabbed her and introduced her for them.

“Well, this beauty is Selena, and I’m Jim. This is Hannah and Kyle.” said Jim with a smile as he pointed his friends. Amy smiled as she looked into Jims bright blue eyes.

“Nice to meet ya Jim, but we better get back home” said Amy as she forced her eyes away from Jim.

The trip to their home was quiet, along the way they had killed 3 more infected/ragers. Selena’s and Neal’s faces became angry as Amy slipped and Jim caught her, with a smile. Kyle and Hannah where in the back, giggling over Selena’s obvious jealousy over some girl they had just met.

“Here we are” said Neal in a hard voice, pointing to where all the trees began to thin.

“Welcome to our home,” said Amy as they walked out of the forest and right up to a 10 foot high chain linked that had barbed wire on the top. Jim, Hannah, Selena, and Kyle mouth’s dropped. They expected a small house worn out by the last few months, but past the fence what they saw was a small town with wooden bridges across all the rooftops. Barbed wire went across all the buildings as well as guns on top of the roof pointed to the woods.

“Wow.” gasped Kyle as Amy went to the gate of the chain linked fence.

“Where in the world is Lance?” Amy asked to Neal. She began to shake the gate angrily. “Why cant Lance do one thing we ask without screwing it up?” Amy took out the walkie talkie from her bag and began to talk into it. “Lance, Lance, where there the hell are you? We need you to open the gate!”

Selena began to worry, they were stuck outside the fence with a forest filled with infected. She slowly pulled out her gun and made sure she also had her machete by her side. She nudged Jim to make sure that he knew to be on guard, when he saw that he was already ready. Good old reliable Jim, thought Selena, forgetting of her jealousy.

Jim looked into the forest and prayed not to see an infected. They seemed to get smarter, not making as much noise, and they were also seem more determined.

“ARRAGH!” The sound of the infected echoed through the forest.

Kyle stepped in front of Hannah and pointed his gun into the forest. “Can someone please get that door open!” said Kyle between his teeth.

“Nia, Nia, hurry up and get this door open!” yelled Amy. The group looked past the gate and into the horizon to see a figure coming running to the gate.

“About time, where is Lance, he had gate duty!” yelled Amy as Nia took out a key and worked on the lock.

The infected began to run through the woods, jumping over bushes and stumps. Screaming as its blood red eyes began to bulge out of there sockets.

Nia opened up the gate and everyone ran through trying to escape the infected. Jim turned around and pointed his gun towards the infected as it ran towards him.

Selena, Hannah, and Kyle yelled Jim’s name all at once, but the noise was mute against the sound of his gun going hitting the infected in the neck, spraying blood in all directions. Jim’s reflexes made him turn away as the blood went across all of his clothes. Jim turned to look at the infected, and he found that it was still alive, though bleeding quite some bit.

“Jim, you stopped it, now come here please.” said Hannah as she stared at the dying infected.

“Not good enough,” said Jim as he shot the infected in the head, killing it. Jim turned around and headed for the gate.

“That’s my boyfriend,” Selena said to Amy with a smug look on her face.
