As the Corpse falls next to me,I'm a bit overwhelmed by everything,I don't even realize the guy standing over me,pointing his gun at me ready to pull the trigger.

"No wait!"I shout at him but he doesn't even flinch."I'm not infected!I'm human!"I say and his black eyes fall on my arm.

"Not for long."He says and I look at my arm."I won't even bother shooting you."

My arm now has a new bleeding bite,which doesn't really worry me much,but it is enough to make him turn around and head for his motorcycle.

A motorcycle!

"Wait!Please I need you to take me somewhere.My name's Hayley and-"I shout and run after him.

"First of all,I don't give a shit what your name is and second of all,you won't make it through the day.You can forget wherever you wanna go."

"I will!I swear I'm not infected.Look at this."I extend my arm towards him and show my old bite.

"It's fake."

"No it's not.It's four years old.Why would I even fake a bite?"

"There's no-"He starts to say but I cut him off.

"It is!Now please.I need to go somewhere and it will be a lot faster if you take me."

He looks at me straight in the eyes with a glimpse,but the very next second he just gets on his motorcycle and rides off.

"Wait!"I shout over and over again.But it's pointless.He is already far away from where I'm standing and clearly in no mood at helping me.

I bring my fingers where my necklace should be,a panicked feeling overcoming my body as my vision becomes a little blurry.I run back inside,panic rushing through my blood.

I go where I got nocked down and start searching through the broken shelves and food on the floor trying to find it like my life depends on it.My eyes catch the light reflecting on something metallic and I frantically move away a broken down shelf.I sigh relieved,putting it over my head.The left side is a little bend by the weight of the stuff that had just fallen on top of it,but it is still in good shape.I don't know what I would do if I lost it.I look for my backpack and when I finally find it,I swing it over my shoulder and take out a bandage and some alcohol to take care of my wound.

I hiss as it hit my wound burning the bacteria away.I hold my breath as I carefully wrap the bandage around my hand,the blood creating a small faint circle.

You'll make it Hayley.You have to.And when you do,you will know that if he was here,he would be proud of you..

I walk back outside,and start walking.I fix my cap so it doesn't fall off my head,and try to see the time through the broken glass of my watch in order to distract my mind for a little bit.Not that time would make any difference right now even if this damn thing actually worked.

Are they waiting for me?Hell,do they even know I exist?

No!I can't think like that.At least not now.Have hope.

And here I am.In the middle of nowhere.I've been so distracted by my thoughts,that I didn't even realize where I was going.Amazing.This is just great.

I look around me,where several houses in bad shape are struggling to keep standing.Their gardens,with their former glory are now just plain dried grass,with the fences broken scattered all over them.The houses are almost all brown from rust and time,with their paint peeling off and the roofs falling down.

I sigh and walk to one of the abandoned houses next to me.Why would anyone build a house here?They are so far away from other people,like the last building I saw was miles away. Maybe  they were loners.Honestly,I don't care right now.I twist the handle,and I'm suprised by how cosy this feels.Even after all these hears.Something my house never felt like.That's probably why anything would feel cosy to me after all this time.I close the door behind me,and walk up to a wooden desk filled with baby pictures,graduation,road trips etc.I had a dream I was in a family like that once.Then I woke up.

I move further into the house and up the stairs,to a full pink painted room.My eyes land on a book on the floor,opened wide at page 223.I pick it up and read the last paragraph.

I wonder what's it gonna be like.When he finally asked me out,I couldn't believe it!It was like a dream come true!Justin is just so cute!

"Is that all you really had to worry about?"I whisper to myself with a frown.

I leave it back down to search the house but there's nothing helpful.The daughter's room is interesting though.There's a picture on the desk of a blonde girl in a cheerleading uniform and a guy,both of them smiling widely.I suppose this is the infamous Justin and the notebook girl.I grabb some pencils and a tiny sketch book from her drawer.Not that she'd mind.Gotta have some pleasures when I'm not running for my life right?

I climb down the stairs as they complain loudly and open the door.But I'm sure as hell this is not what I expected.

"Oh sh-"I say but the back of a gun hits my forehead making me stumble back.

I gasp as everything starts to spin and I grab my head as I fall to my knees,my back turned towards the guy.

"Well well.If it isn't the girl we were just looking for."A male voice says and grabs me hard by the back of my neck making me flinch in pain.

We exit the house -- Well,he does.I'm literally dragged out.

"I found her boss."He says and throws me to the ground and I let down a grown.I'm still a little bit dizzy by the hit,and I can feel the bruise already forming.Thank God I don't have a freaking head trauma by this asshole.

"Get up."A familiar voice speaks.

"Valentine."I say in anger and try to get up but I stable back down as I hear his mocking laugh.

"Greg hit you a bit too hard,I see.I'll tell him to go easy on you next time."

A guy -possibly this,Greg- grabs me by the elbows,but by now,I'm fully ready for a fight.I get up to my feet and escape his grip elbowing him in the face,making him fall down.Another comes up to me but I avoid his punch and hit him on the jaw.I turn to hit Valentine but he is already gone,sitting in a car with the door hanging open.

"We'll meet again.Be very  sure of that."With that,him and his evil grin disappear.

I turn around and start running,trying to escape all the gunshots coming my way as they run for their cars.Suddenly out of a corner the guy from earlier drives and stop in front of me.

"Get on."He says and I hesitate."Come on!"He shouts and I obey.There's currently no time to argue with him.I sit behind him and rap my hands around his waist.

Oh he's fit..HAYLEY!Not the time!

I breathe heavily,as we speed away from the scene and I can feel myself getting calmer by the second.Let's just hope he is friendlier than he seems.

It's a little to late to think about that,isn't it?Maybe.But I have a good feeling about him.

I dont even know for how long we've been driving,but we enter another abandoned city.We pull up at a randome house and hide the motorcycle behind it.I stare at his back as we walk to the porch and he kicks the door open.

"Who needs door handles am I right?"I say sarcastically but he just shoots me a glare making me look away.

"Get inside."I do as he says and walk inside in silence.Not like I have a choice or anything.

"How did you know where I was?"I ask but dead silence is still all I get in response.

"That's great."I wisper but he still doesn't pay any attention to me."Can you at least tell me-"

"Get down!"He shout-whispers at me and I immediately sit below the window as I hear a car ride past the house.

"Why do they even want with someone like you?"He asks staring me up and down and I raise my eyebrow.

"Oh don't tell me for that."He points at my old bite as I scoff shaking my head in disbelief.

"Hey I wasn't lying to you!You just chose not to believe me."I wisper back and he rolls his eyes at me.

"Alright they're gone."He gets up and offers me a hand to help me but I don't take it and get up myself ,as I cross my hands in front of my chest.

"How did you know where I was?"I ask and he pinches the tip of his nose,sighing.

"I happened to be close by,and I...I just decided to do so okay?Now do you still need my help or should I leave?"He says,clearly frustrated.

"Take it easy bike guy."I open the door and head for the back of the house,taking out the motorcycle."I still need you."He gets on and then I follow.

"And it's Elias."

"What?"I ask confused.

"My name.It's Elias.Not bike guy."He tells me like I offended his greater ancestors,but I can't help but crack a little smile.
