I feel panic bubble up in my throat but I refuse to cry, turning the corner and seeing no one. I gulp and whimper, going to the other corner. M-Maybe everyone met up at the park? That makes sense. I stumble down the street, avoiding walkers the best I can. I make it to the park and.. there's no one.

Where the hell did they go? How did they get out and then get so far? I look around and stumble through the park, I have no where to go, no way to know where to go, and barely any supplies. I'll run out of ammo soon and I'll run out of water sooner. Maybe I should stay at the hospital, wait for them? No, no, that's too dangerous.

An arrow whizzes by my face and lodges into the tree behind me. Okay, here is dangerous too. I yelp and drop to my knees, looking in the direction the arrow came from. There stands a rather short man with a hunters crossbow. He drops the weapon and and much taller man appears behind him. They talk for a literally a second before the shorter runs towards me.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I thought you were a walker! He gasps, falling to his knees next to me and grabbing my shoulders. "Are you okay?!" He laughs, wiping the blood off my face almost motherly. His friend approaches and looks me up and down with an arched eyebrow. "The fuck happened to you?" He scoffs with an Irish accent as his friend helps me to my feet.

"U-Uh, I got attacked" I say, taking a small step back and rubbing my arm. "And yet you're alive??" The Irish one snorts. "David! Leave him be, he's obviously shaken up. You okay?" The small one asks, wiping his bow bloody hands on his pants. I hesitate and nod a little, looking around for my friends.

"Are you missing anyone?" The short one asks, noticing my fear. "M-My friends. W-Wuh-We had a giant group of people but our building got i-infected and w-we had to run b-but I-I lost them killing off th-the walkers" I stutter, pulling on my fingers as I stress. "Okay Lui, I think we should take him back to camp" David says, grabbing my elbow. "Agreed" 'Lui' nods and they lead me across the park.

Three blocks later I can see the mall parking lot, but the chain link fences are topped with barbed wire and a giant camp is set up inside, along with fires and tarps and at least ten people. For such a big camp, there's very few actually inside. "C'mon man, you'll be safe in here" Lui sighs, waving to someone.

The fence slides open and we walk in before it slides closed behind us. "Lui! David! You're back early! Who is this?" A tall man with curly black hair asks as he trots up to us. "Uh, we didn't actually- get, um, you're name" Lui laughs a little as I look around nervously. "U-Uh, i-it's Evan" I say, nodding like an idiot.

"Well Evan, I'm Chilled. This our safe zone, anyone and everyone is welcome here. Follow me and we can wash you off" The man smiles, taking my arm and leading me further into the camp. "M-My friends, I'm worried a-about my friends. We had a-a huge group, I-I don't know w-where they went" I stutter, feeling completely out of it as Chilled sits me down.

Chilled sighs and hands me a cloth so I clean myself off before he stands up and looks around. "I'll get someone to look for them, alright? You need to relax and calm down" Chilled says, waving someone over. He steps away and they talk in hushed tones as I wipe the blood off my face, finding myself shaking and whimpering.

What's happening to me?
