Chapter Two

In my day to day life before all this I never thought about how hard it was for it to live on my own. My parents did everything for me, I was packing to move out to a boarding school that the government demand everyone fourteen and older must go to just a few weeks before the accident happened, but before that my dad was gonna help me understand what it's like to live on your own with out them and what it takes. I was planning on visiting them from time to time... but to completely go out on my own without being to call ask them questions... I didn't think being eighteen and on my own would be... I thought it would easier than this.

I snuck behide a courner seeing the guards run past me, I smirk and move through the alley way killing a few wondering zombies heading back to my so called home. I duncked into my hovel placing my bag on a make shift table and sat down on the broken couch I called a bed. It wasn't much but it was better than being out in the street or at a camp if I was as in a camp I would be sent to a slavers house then to a slave market, that would be better than a feed market where you get sold to vampires.

I grabbed my bag and look through the things I picked up and set aside a few food bars a found and suddenly heard foot steps, I quickly put the things back and sat in the corner holding my backpack and my knife hoping they would pass. "I swear I saw something over here" "maybe a rat or a goblin looking for food" "let me looking this house real quick" "be quick" I heard foot steps getting closer and put my backpack on standing near the door gripping my knife as the guard got closer moving the rubble out of the way so he could get in "hey Liam I found a base, maybe that girl lives here!"

I stabbed the guard in the leg and ran for it jumping over some rubble running for it look back seeing the other guy running after me. I was running out of breath and unbelievely thirsty, apparently I slowed down because the gaurd almost grabbed me I was just about to let him grab me as I notice a fence with a hole in it, I spend up as best I could then slid through the hole scraping my skin some. I lean against the wall catching my breath I reached for my backpack but it wasn't there "god damn it!" I punched the ground and threw a rock at the wall in front of me, I lean my head against the wall and closed my eyes sleep taking over me.
