Chapter 7

                                    

                                          
 We ran out of the house, dodging trees as we dashed through the woods. We stopped once we got to our  neighborhood. The place was crawling with creeps. "Ready?" I asked Wesley and he nodded in response. "I'll take the right you take the left?" He asked motioning to the group of the infected. I nodded and headed towards the left. The first walker noticed me walking towards it. I pulled out my blade and kept walking towards it. I rose my hand up and slammed the blade through it's temple. The zombie used to be a teenage girl, maybe close to my age. She was wearing a shredded pink shirt and shorts that were covered in guts and blood. Her jaw was detached and hanging by skin but her teeth still snapped. I pulled my knife out of her head and continued doing the same thing. I occasionally turned my head to make sure Wesley was ok which he always was. Two more infected on my side still survived so I took out my gun. I attached the silencer with ease not wanting to attract more. I walked up to the first of the two and stabbed my blade through the top of its head, turning around I shot the other one in the torso to slow it down. I took a deep breath to calm my shaking hand and shot him again. My aim was dead on this time, hitting him between the eyes. I turned to Wesley again as he finished off the last zombie. I turned to some of the houses and decided to check them out. "Hey! I'm gonna check out some houses on this side, you take the other!" I yelled over to him and he nodded in response and ran to one of the houses. 
                          
 I started walking to up to a tan house when I heard someone scream. I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around. The scream came from a gray house at the end of the street. I ran as fast as I could to the house. I opened the door sort of quickly to see two zombies cornering a little girl that was screaming her head off. I swear this girl is like a banshee the way she screeched for help. I took out my gun and steadily shot the first one in the back of the head. The bullet went through it and hit the wall, Making the girl scream even more. I ran up and stabbed the other zombie in its right temple. I pulled out the blade and let it fall to the ground before putting away my knife.
                          
 I walked up to the little girl and kneeled infront of her. "Are you okay?"
                          
"Y-yes..thank you"
                          
"It's fine..how old are you?"
The little girl heald up seven fingers as a response. She had bright hazel eyes and caramel colored hair. 
"What's your name? I'm Autumn" I asked, watching her become less frightened of me.
"I'm Brianna" she paused before adding, "Conners is my last name."
I nodded holding out my hand for her to take, which surprisingly she did.
"Well Brianna, if you'd like you can stay with me and my 5 other friends" I said walking with her out of the house. She nodded smiling at the thought of staying with us. I picked her up and placed her on my hip so she didn't have to walk all the way back. Yep, I'm a nice person when I want to be. I walked into the street where I saw Wesley waiting for me while tossing his knife in the air. If I didn't have a child with me there's a good chance I would make a sarcastic bitchy comment about how he's gonna take out an eye doing that. 
                          
 Wesley turned to me smiling but his eyes filled with shock when he saw Brianna with me. "Wesley this is Brianna, I found her in one of the houses with a couple of zombies" I said turning my head to face Brianna. "Bri, this is my best friend Wesley, he's one of the 5 I mentioned" I said to her and put her down on the pavement. I watched holding in my laughter as she marched up to Wesley and shook his hand, catching him by surprise.
"Nice to meet you!" She said letting go of him and walking back to me. "Nice to meet you to Brianna" He replied, unable to contain his huge grin. "We should head back to the house" I said picking Brianna up again. Wesley nodded and the 3 of us made our way back to W.W. As the house came into view I immediately saw Rosanna crying on the ground with Tucker wrapped around her. I instantly put Brianna down and ran like my life depended on it. Wesley unsure of what happened, picked Brianna up and jogged towards us.
                          
 I slid to the ground to ask what what was wrong but I didn't need to. Chase was standing underneath Jax's hanging body. He committed suicide to be with Shae. I felt tears well in my eyes as I walked over to where Chase was standing. As soon as he saw the tears in my eyes he put an arm around me as we sat there and looked at our lifeless friend in silence.
