That all too familiar gurgling sound and then the sudden scream of surprise from Info. " Royce! Lance! Help!" She yelled and heard the sudden impact of a steel baseball bat hitting flesh then a strangled cry. I sprinted to where she was and saw there was not just one zombie but four. She had climbed up a nearby tree which was relatively thin and could hardly support her weight and was also half dead since there hadn't been any rain. Her machete laid uselessly at the base of the tree as the zombies clawed up at her. One of the zombies who had a red shredded T- shirt on and a long infected gash across his face. It had managed to grab her foot but she wrenched it from his grasp and kicked his face.

I ran quickly to her, covering the fifteen foot gap between me and her location in about three steps and rose my baseball bat to hit the left side of the zombies face with the red t-shirt at full force. It stumbled back some 2 yards then collapsed on the ground. The adrenaline pumped into my veins and my heart rate started to go up to 100 miles and hour. I went to hit it again but another zombie caught my attention since it was charging straight at me. I took the already bloodstained baseball bat and hit right under the chin and heard a satisfying crack which meant I broke its jaw. I looked over to Lance who stabbed a smaller zombie with his trench knife and pushed it to the ground. It was always odd to see Lance being violent, he always seemed like a bit of a pansy when I met him ( in a good way).

However, my thoughts were sourly interrupted fourth Zombie started sneaking up on Lance from behind. This particular zombie had sunken in cheeks and dry, crusty blood around its fanged mouth. I took a large leap towards the zombie and brought the bat down on the back of its neck. I heard that familiar crunch sound and reared back for a second swing right up against its cheek and it rolled over onto its side. I think it was now fully dead.

" Look out!!!" I heard Info's familiar voice yell and I turned only a second too soon when that zombie with the red t-shirt tackled me to the ground. I only had enough reaction time to put my baseball bat in between me an the snarling zombie before we were both on the concrete floor. It's snapping jaws were just centimeters from my face. I tried not to yell out as I wrestled with zombie because some of its drool was dripping onto my face.

Suddenly a knife sunk right through the back of its head and I pushed it off of me and saw Lance standing there above me and offer me his hand which I took. " Thanks man" I said a little shakily since I had almost just had my face eaten off by a zombie. " No problem" he said equally shakily and then I turned to look up at Info who was hugging the the biggest main, middle part of the tree which was barely able to support her weight. Not saying she was fat but the tree was just really skinny and frail.

" Hey guys I might need some help up here" Info said still clinging to the tree. I sighed " Uh you go get the food, I'll help Info" I told Lance who nodded and I looked around quickly and thankfully didn't see to many zombies but I knew they would come sooner or later. I walked over towards the tree where Info was and looked up at her. " So how did you even get up there?" I asked sarcastically and she glared down at me as she tried inching her way down but each time the branches threatened to snap. " Hey if I jump you would catch me right?" She asked looking down at me and I shrugged " Sure" I answered.

" I don't know..." Info said, leading down at me. "Come on Jillian" I said smirking, drawing out her name as I said it. She just gave me this look that said she would put a dead animal in my bed tomorrow if I had one. " Ok fine I'll jump" she said and I help out my arms ready for her to come down. She edged of the branch she was on and just like that she was falling for only a split second before she fell right into my arms. Her weight hit me pretty hard and I stumbled back getting down on my knee. " What do you eat?" I asked as I set her back onto her feet and she playfully hit my shoulder.

I picked up my steel baseball bat, that I think was my favorite weapon right now and Lance walked back out of the store holding the beef jerky, nuts, and cliff bars. We all loaded into the car and now Lance was driving and I was sitting in the seat next to him and Info was in the back. I sighed looking out the window at the pretty much barren wasteland that was now pretty much the whole world. Oh well, it's just another day in the Zombie apocalypse.

It's hard to think that was only two days ago that I had come so close once again to near death. If I had been alone I likely would have died that day. But that was in the past now. Time for a new day and more unexpected things.
