Chapter 1

Three Years Later; Unknown's POV

I cut down the zombie that was slowly walking over to us looking at me hungrily, thinking to get a meal, and I looked at the others, who were doing the same to a couple other strays. Then we turned the street corner and I barely pushed the others back before the sound of growling and shuffling reached my ears. 

"Why are there so many zombies over here" I said as the growling increased and they looked at me expectantly. 

"I don't know maybe they smell something" Harley said and I stepped out into the open and cut down the few coming towards me. The others came out and we quickly got through the hoard of slow Walking zombies in just under ten minutes. 

"Well we need to figure out what it is and deal with it before a Dayreaper finds us" I said shivering at the thought of having to deal with one of those, and I saw Dawn, Harley, and Hobbs shiver as well. 

"Daniel I think I found out what it is" I looked up at Hobbs who was on a car and he pointed with his machete at something. I followed the direction of the blade and saw a bunch of them around a single house scratching at the doors, windows, and walls like something they smelled or had seen was in there. 

"Why are they all gathered over there" Dawn asked and I beheaded another zombie

"I don't know maybe they smell something in there" Harley said proving my thoughts and we were silent for a second as no more zombies tried to come at us/

"Well whatever it is, if there is that many at this house then there must be something worth checking out" I said and Harley nodded

"Yeah Danny's right, but we can't just go up there and cut them all down without a plan, and there must be more than we can see in the back, and in the house" she said and I nodded. 

So we started to make a plan on how to get in there with little noise involved and when we were done the plan was as easy as it turned out in our minds. We lured away the zombies with raw meat we brought with us for occasions like these and then as they went over to it we easily dispatched them from behind, and then we went inside and cut down a few zombies wandering the halls: some with open throats, missing jaws, teeth, limbs, eyes, ears, noses, or pretty much everything else. Then the girls went to the back and killed the ten zombies in the yard and I looked out the front window as the girls came back in and saw no other zombies coming down the street and we started to look around. 

"This is a pretty nice house for this neighborhood" Dawn said and I nodded 

I saw scratch marks on the walls of the hallway and besides the zombie blood and the scent of new, and old blood mixing together; the place was pretty well taken care of. There was a room at the end pretty much untouched by anything. I went to it and tried to open the door, but it was stuck, and I rammed my shoulder into the door and it opened a sliver to reveal something black on the bed. It was a rifle, a very well taken care of rifle at that too. 

"Hey guys come here" I whispered to them and put a finger to my mouth for quiet, and they came over and saw the gun but what caught our attention were the five the boxes of ammo. 

"Is that a room with free ammo, and a free gun" Dawn asked and I nodded and I looked around through the crack and all I saw was a window and then I saw two white things sticking out of the side of the bed, and cursed. 

"There's a survivor in here, that's probably why the zombies were gathered around this house" I said and Harley pushed me out of the way and gasped as she saw the person's hands as well. 

"What do we do" Dawn asked as she saw it as well and then it was Hobbs turn and with him being, well, Him. He closed the door and kicked it down causing whatever blocked it to break, and I thanked him before looking into the room again and stopped as I saw the hands had moved. 

"Wait the hands are gone" I said and everyone got out their weapons, and I stepped in carefully before looking under the bed and seeing a small girl of at least sixteen, and she was under the bed sleeping. Why was she under the bed and the gun on the top of it? What was wrong with her hiding without a weapon. I shook my head in disbelief and moved the chair to the back so the others could get in. 

"False alarm, she just moved in her sleep" I said and the girls got excited as they screamed from it. 

"Wait another girl to our group, finally we'll outnumber the guys" Dawn screeched and Hobbs rolled his eyes before he grabbed the rifle and it's ammo and stuffed it in our supply bag. Then we heard a groan and I looked back under the bed and saw the she was waking up. 

"She's waking up, good job girls" I said sarcastically to them and they just scowled at me

Then I noticed that there was something on her leg and I went to touch it, and as soon as my finger grazed it. Her eyes shot open and she pulled in her legs and went to the far corner of the room under the bed, and I noticed I couldn't see her eyes like they were completely... I backed up quickly grabbing the others and rushing out of the room before grabbing, and slamming the door closed. Dawn and Harley were obviously shocked but I put a finger up silencing them. 

"Wait before you say or do anything criticizing, let me tell you that she's a zombie" I said and the others were wide eyed and looking behind me. 

"Give me my damn gun" I heard a voice snarl behind me and something cold touched my back, and I walked forward and turned around to see the girl standing in the doorway with a machete pointed at us

"The next time I ask I am not going to be so nice, so give it" she said and I motioned for Hobbs to give it to her and he dug into our pack and got out the gun and two things of ammo for it, and handed it up. I took them and tossed them one at a time to the girl, and she snatched the gun from the air before throwing it behind her onto her bed once again. Then she pocketed the ammo and slammed the door in my face and there was some shuffling before a loud smash and I rushed to the door. My hands shaking as I grabbed the handle and slowly opened the door in slight fear to see the gun and it's ammo gone and the window broken open before I saw a dark form on the top of the wood fence in the back, and she had the rifle slung up on her back and she looked at me one last time making me shiver. 

"Also if I'm a zombie, which I don't believe since I am obviously alive. Then you're clearly out of your mind" she said before running along the fence's top like a ninja and out of sight. I turned to the others and they were as shocked as I was. 

"How is this possible? I thought that all of the people had turned three years ago, but she seemed like she is just seeing the world again after waking up from a long sleep" Dawn said and I shook my head in disbelief "can you even sleep for that long, like a self induced coma or something?"

"I don't know, but we've got to find her again and at least try to convince her of what she is and what happened to this world if she was sleeping during that entire time" I said and we looted the rest of the house before leaving quickly. 

"It's a mercy really" Harley said and we all nodded in agreement. If she was sleeping during the horrors of the first year of the outbreak, then that was a big mercy, but it didn't explain what she was. Not just yet anyways.
