POV - Sarrah

Sounds of the engine running and the wind flowing opposite the vehicle were only audible . The highway densly covered by tree's leaded nowhere safe .

We had lossed enough , we had seen enough . But I knew it was just the beginning , I was neither mentally nor physically prepared for what leaded next .

Father driving the truck in a hope of finding a place to reside .

Lucio lying beside me at a stage of mental blankness . A movement before he was broken in tears , resting his head over my shoulder making it damp . He had lost all of his family , he had nothing left . It was just me , his 2 day relationship .

Holding his hands and trying to make Lucio calm seemed to be an impossible mission .

I made him sleep to make him feel a bit better on the back side of the RV truck. I sat down beside my father next to the driver's seat .

" What's next now ? " I asked ,

" Finding a place for shelter is our first concern , I also don't know what leads next " he answered implicitly .

The vehicle continued moving on the scary highway , hundreds of plants surrounded the road but still no greenery could be spotted .

After travelling for 2 hours straight , still no hope could be seen and in addition the RV also didn't had unlimited fuel that we could keep moving .

Within the dark forest and between the woods the RV stopped , going out of fuel . We didn't had any other option than to walk .

" Hey Luc , get up " I whispered in his ears , his eyes red but this time he seemed stable .
" Are you okay , we have to walk our way forward "

"Yeah , okay " he got up and straightly went out of the RV giving a strange expression . We all were know out of the vehicle .

" There must be a fuel station on the highway or else we have to continue our journey walking " dad leading us and we began with our journey .

Fortunately after walking for about 15 minutes we came across a fuel station . I was carrying machete which i had never used before . The station seemed demolished , we could only hope to find something there .

We all at a leisure pace and steadily moved towards the fuel station , we dispersed while checking the outside of the station .

I walked near the pumps , to check for fuel , I bended a little to determine it . . . There was a slight movement behind me and I quickly turned , and if it was a zombie I wouldn't hesitate to cut its head of .

A zombie snarling behind me , I didn't know how did they differentiated between human and themselves . . .

I walked two steps further and thrusted the machete inside it's head and within seconds it's movement stopped , i couldn't watch it's stingy brain  , black blood again covered my clothes , it felt so good to squidge these pricks only the smell was worst .

My machete now was stucked inside it's bones and I couldn't pull it out , " woah, discarded all your anger on this walker "

Lucio helped me taking out my machete.

" There is nothing utilizable at hand here , just some meds is all I found . We should continue going further " , Dad seemed at low spirit while speaking .

We started walking further , on the highway with a hope to survive , dad leading us on the way .

I holded lucio's hand , " crying will only affect your health " , I didn't knew what to speak but I knew that he felt better when I was close to him .

There was a horde of walkers in front of us , we were far enough to get noticed , we didn't had any option rather than turning inside the forest .

If it was 3 or 4 we could've defended ourselves , but there were hundreds .

The forest looked more creepy than the zombies out there . Black fog moreover smoke , didn't allowed the sight of more than five meters . We walked continuously , our legs now didn't wanted to move an inch

We luckily spotted a stream of water flowing , we all ran towards it , like if it were a desert . It was clean enough to drink , we rested on nearby stones and I also got to clean my clothes .

" Woah see there , it's . . It is fire burning , means there must be other survivors " .
