"So uh my names Michael you can call me Mike uh, what's your name?" I ask after closing the trapdoor.

She jumps at my voice, "S-Sadie, nice to meet you uh Michael." She smiles wryly .

"That's John over there, the burly man with a angry look is James." I explained. She was a weak looking girl but she kept up with us so I'm not going to judge her on her looks.

"Great more people to suck our food supply dry." James said angrily.

She huffed and replied "Seems like your doing a good enough job of that yourself fat boy."

Me and John were flabbergasted and James had a irk vein popping out. John and I knew there might not be a tomorrow for one of them.

"Oh boy" we said in unison.
________NIGHT FALLS_______

*Banging sounds*
"Wait Michael turn all the non UV lights off, now!" John whispered.

I turned them off and noticed James missing. That banging sounded more human like than the usual volatile banging. Just as I thought that a crowbar bashed through the door and James tackled Sadie as John and I were overpowered and held hostage. What the hell is going on here?

Just then a guy that looked like he'd seen his fair share of battles walked in.

"Good job James, now we got all the supplies we could want!" He chuckled darkly.

"Thank you, Sir!" James responded military like. This mother-

"James! How could you do this to us I thought we were friends!" I yelled.

"We never were friends I've been working for Blisk here all along,  friend" he laughed evilly. I should have seen the signs he always wanted to split up when I made plans he was targeting us all along.

"This lass will make a fun night with my boys and I" Blisk licked his lips lustfully. Not if I have any say about it.
I looked to John then the floor at my knife as I nodded I him. We both kicked the guys shins breaking them and breaking us free as well I kick up the knife into my hands and assume defense position with it.

They rush me but now that I have a weapon and they have only crowbars it was way to dispatch them. I dodged and slashed at their arm tendons making that arm unusable, my knife got kicked out of my hand and flew towards John as he caught my knife and spun around at the guy getting ready to throw a knife and threw mine at him and tossed me the katana as I got done punching this guy I jumped up and grabbed the katana as I came down spinning decapitating the 3 raiders around me.

Blink  was dumbfounded as Sadie kicked James's shin then proceeded to beat the hell out of him all while smiling wickedly as I finished up and looked over at her. Damn my type of woman a woman who can kick my ass.

She sighed and tucked a strand of blood stained colored hair behind her ear, "now I'm satisfied"

We all looked around and Blisk was gone. Coward I'll remember your name.

"Sadie, you alright?" I asked as I traded John for my knife back and looted the other guy's knife. Dual wielding... hell yeah.

"Yeah I'm alright why?" She smiled at me wiping the blood off with a towel. "We need a new hideout, I mean assuming you guys'll have me."

"Yeah, how come your accustomed to killing people?" I asked curiously.

"Had to kill some people who wanted the same thing he did, my body" she shivered, "they almost won too, I trained hard since then to be a better fighter, I picked up the love for pain during it too." We all were silent. We couldn't believe that someone would do that sure girls are scarce but to force one that's terrible. I got up and resettled the UV lights and tried to put the door back as a volatile grabbed me and I screamed.

"Get your ugly ass off of me you piece of shit!" Just as I said that a sword embedded itself into the volatiles head and more UV lights were thrown there.

"Thanks John" I thanked him as Sadie helped me up quickly. "Thanks Sadie" I brushed myself off. We didn't get any sleep that night.
_______Night Survived______

In the morning we all ran across the rooftops with the duffle bags of food and water as well as separate duffle bags with the UV lights. I jut hope that there will be a place for us. We all looked around from the tower and spotted a house surrounded by barbed wire with a hole in a place where zombies obviously got in, we'd have to secure and put more barbed wire higher for safety reasons so we went back to the hardware store and got the supplies with no problems this time.

On our way there I talked with Sadie and it seems she was an orphan before this.

"So in a way I'm glad this happened." She said while smiling sadly. I felt bad for her she's gone through so much and she's still so young.

We arrived at the house and went through the hole. We had to block block it so we thought about it and decided to use a wardrobe then have it bungee corded to enhance the defense capabilities. When we went inside it had at least 10 sets of footsteps we could hear and some echoey ones below this must've been a paranoid doomsday prepper's home. Good thing for us. Now where's the trapdoor...

I decided to check the downstairs with Vivi and John said he'd guard the front door and push the wardrobe to the whole while we are checking the downstairs. As I was going past a carpet I fell into a hole and Sadie quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me back up.

"What the hell! Who puts a damn trapdoor that's open under a carpet and even then why the hell did they leave it open and how is the carpet still here something is fishy..." I pointed out as Sadie nodded worriedly.

Just then gunshots rang out as I dodged them by a hair. They came from the trapdoor, I think those footsteps we heard were raiders.
