Wesley saw how the girl glared at his hand and got a bit anxious.”do you want us to get killed?! Just take my hand! he said to her and looked towards the walker horde, the horde was now just a bit more than 100 meter away from them. Suddenly Wesley felt a strong pull on his arm, the girl who lied on the floor had grabbed his hand and pulled herself up snagging his gun in the process. ”hey!!” he yelled as the girl turned around and ran away.
He stood there bewildered for a second before he realised what just happened. He couldn’t believe that she just took his gun, not that he was any good with it but still. He then heard the walkers’ growl and when he looked he saw that they were really getting close now. Wesley quickly sprinted away from the horde after the girl. ”hey! Wait up…” he yelled to the girl as he tried to follow her.

The girl was really fast and Wesley had a hard time trying to keep up with her as he was a little bit exhausted from the sprint he pulled to attack that dog. As he manoeuvre himself passed all the cars that were randomly parked all over the street he saw that most of the walkers were starting to get slower.”finally they get tired… now I just have to ditch the rest and I’m safe” he thought a bit relieved, only a small group of around 15 of them were still following them at full speed while the rest of the walkers were slowly falling behind until they eventually just stopped chasing them. In the meantime Wesley has started to run over the sidewalk rather than in the middle of the road still trying to catch up with the rude girl. When he looked around again to get a look at the few walkers who were still chasing him he saw that only 5 of them were following his trail, the others were apparently more focused on the girl then on him. He wondered why that was as he would be the most obvious target as he’s the closest to them. Could it be because they might know him and know that he’s not such an easy target to get, or is it because she’s a girl. He kept thinking about it when he suddenly realized what it might be, the walkers might be attracted to the smell of blood and flesh from the wound that the girl got while struggling with the dog. The more he thinks about it the more sense it makes.”I might as well take advantage of this” he thought as he looked back to the 5 walkers that were still chasing him and then looked around to see if he find something to loose these followers.

Wesley is completely exhausted, and it felt like his lungs were burning with every breath he took. The only thing that kept him running was the adrenaline that was rushing though his body. ”I can’t go on like this... I have to lose them quick or I’m done for" he thought as he looked back to the walkers that were chasing him. The walkers didn’t seem to be anywhere near giving up as they kept running after him with bloodlust in their eyes.
A couple of stones of the sidewalk were missing leaving small gaps. Wesley quickly jumped over any small gaps that were in his way what was making him more tired. When he looked at how the girl was doing he saw that he almost passed her. a weak smile came on his face as he returned his attention to looking for a way to ditch the few walkers still behind him. Suddenly he heard a hard metallic sound like something has fallen on one of the cars. When he looked to where it was coming he saw that the girl had crashed into one of the cars and was sitting on top of the radiator of it. ”s**t” he thought as he knew there was nothing he could do in the state he’s in. he kept watching her as long as he could until he couldn’t see her from over his shoulder, the last thing he saw was that she kicked one of the walkers in the face who tried to grab her. ”I hope she’s going to be ok… I still need to get my gun back from her!!!” he thought as he ran away from her, the walkers who were chasing him apparently haven’t noticed much of it and were still chasing him.

Running now really became hard as he was reaching his limit. ”must… lose… them… now…” he panted as he ran into an alley that would lead to the backyards. Whenever he was chased by any of the infected Wesley mostly tries to lose them by running though the gardens behind houses, mostly the infected can’t keep up with him that way as he can climb over most of the fences faster than any infected could and when he knows he has a good lead he mostly hides inside one of the houses and then the infected really can’t find him. But it might not work as well as it always does now he’s complete exhausted. As he ran though the alley Wesley felt something bumping on his hip, he realized that it was his camera and he suddenly got an idea to maybe slow them down enough for him to make his escape. ”ok… let’s hope… this works” he said to himself as he reached the first fence, he grabbed his camera with his free hand and aimed it at the walkers who were coming through the narrow alleyway with his thumb on the photo button. ”ok… here goes nothing” he thought as he pressed the button and the camera took a picture of the chasing zombies with a big flash. The walkers looked right into the flash and were blinded and confused by it. As they tried to regain their sight Wesley climbed over the fence with great difficulty. When he dropped into the garden the walkers who were chasing him regained their vision, Wesley could hear that they were looking for him but couldn’t find him. ”ok… now I only need to…” he whispered to himself as he suddenly stepped onto a twig. The twig snapped and Wesley knew those walkers had heard it. Wesley ran to the next fence and climbed over it as he saw that the walkers were trying to climb over the first fence. Wesley now had reached his limit as he looked around the garden he saw a drainpipe on the back of the house. This could be his last chance to ever lose these walkers. He rushed to the drainpipe and started to climb up it slowly, in the meantime the walkers have managed to climb over the fence of the garden where Wesley was in and came rushing towards the drain pipe. When Wesley looked down he saw that the walkers had gathered around the drainpipe and were trying to reach him. As they realized he was out of reach the walkers then start to shake the drainpipe in the hope that Wesley would fall off. Wesley could hold on to the drain pipe and continued to climb up it, his heart was pounding like mad and he could barely breathe. Suddenly he heard something cracking just above his head. When Wesley looked up he saw that the pipe was about to break just above his head. ”oh no” went through his mind as Wesley looked at how the crack became bigger and bigger, he then climbed as fast as he still could and just in time as the pipe broke off at the crack as he had just passed it. He looked down and saw that the whole drainpipe below him as fallen off the house onto the walkers. ”fhew… that was close” he sighed and went for the last strokes till the roof of the house. The exhaustion now took his toll as His vision now became blurry and he felt his grip on the pipe slowly starting to loosen up as he came closer and closer to the roof. When he reached the rooftop he pulled himself up with the last of his strength and laid down on it heavenly panting of exhaustion. ”well that was enough excitement for one day" he said to himself as he looked up to the sky.

Wesley had rested a little bit still looking at the sky, clouds drifted by and Wesley slowly started to fall asleep. Suddenly he heard a growling sound right beside him. He quickly sat up and looked for the source of the sound. As he couldn’t see where the sound was coming from Wesley wanted to grab his baseball bat but he couldn’t find it. He looked everywhere on the roof but still no sight of his bat. When he looked down to the walkers who were chasing him he found his baseball bat, it lied on the pile of broken drainpipe pieces, and apparently he dropped it while he was climbing the drain pipe. ”s**t!! Now I have to get that one back TOO” he said to himself as he looked to the walkers who were just wandering in the garden looking for him. Suddenly he heard the growling noise again, it sounded like the growl of a walker, but now he was more awake he realized what it was. His stomach was growling as he got hungry, the last time he ate something was this morning, and that wasn’t that much. ”I have to find something to eat… maybe there’s something in here… or else I will go back the hideout, there I know I still got some food” he thought as he looked for a way to get inside the house. He saw a dormer window a couple of meters away from him and decided to get in from there.
Wesley tried to push open the window but it wouldn’t budge. He had to find another way to open this window. He pulled one of the tiles off the roof and sat down on top of the dormer with the tile lying next to him. He hang fore over so he could see what was inside of the room. He couldn’t see anything to worry about inside the room and sat up again. He grabbed the tile that was lying next to him and raised it above his head. Then he threw the tile through the window. Wesley then turned around and kicked out some shards of glass that remained in the window frame so that he could get inside. ”here we go” he whispered to himself as he went through the broken window to land inside of a bedroom.

He walked to the bed and searched it and the cabinet next to it for something useful. Beneath the bed was nothing that useful and he started to look through the cabinet. As he opened the drawer and looked inside of it. In it was a picture of a mother with her young daughter, the two of them looked so happy. As he turned the picture around he saw that there was something written on the back. I will always be there for you, my sweet Christy… -mom he read from it. It was clear the mother really loved her daughter. When he searched the cabinet further he found a picture of a man in army uniform and a casing with a medal in it, could this be the woman’s husband? He laid the pictures and the medal back into the drawer and closed it. ”I don’t think I’m going to find something in this room” he said to himself as he walked out of the room and into the hallway. ”I wonder what have become of that family? I will probably never know” he thought as he walked down the hallway to the stairs. He went down the stairs to the middle floor and suddenly got the feeling that something was watching him. All doors on this floor were closed except one opposite the stairs that lead down to the ground floor. Wesley walked to the stairs and was about to decent when he looked into the room across the stairs. It was the room of the little girl. He then noticed someone lying on the bed. He got curious and went inside the room. There was a little girl who seems to been infected lying dead on the bed with her eyes closed. There were a couple of stab wounds on her chest. When he took a better look he saw that it was the girl from the picture. Wesley kept looking to the girl for a couple of seconds before he took his camera. She looked so peaceful how she laid there. Wesley took a picture of the little girl and then left the room and went downstairs. ”ok, where’s the kitchen??” he thought as he walked down the hallway to the kitchen. When he found the kitchen he went inside and saw a dead walker on the ground and a woman sitting at the table with a kitchen knife in her chest. ”what the…” he said as he walked over to the woman and took a better look at her. This was the mother from the picture and it also appeared she had been infected. Then he noticed a letter beneath the woman’s hand. Wesley slowly pulled the letter from beneath the woman’s hand and read what was written on it.

dear john…
If you read this then me and Christy are dead. We were surprised by one of those creatures who broke into our house. I’ve managed to kill it but by that time he had already bitten both of us.
I’m sorry that we couldn’t make it to you. I will always love you…

Loves Melissa.

p.s. if someone else finds this note please find my husband and give it to him, I wrote his last known location on the back.

He turned the letter around and saw coordinates written on the back. ”if I find him, I will give him this note” he said softly to the dead woman knowing that she probably couldn’t hear it before he folded the note up and putted it in the pocket of his pants. He then started to search though the closets in the kitchen. All he could find that was still eatable was a couple of candy bars and a can of soup. ”it’s better than nothing” he sarcastically said to himself as he unwrapped one of the candy bars. The chocolate of the bar is at some places a bit white but that didn’t keep him from eating it. He then ate another one of those bars and putted the rest of them in his pocket for later. He then picked up the soup and looked at the label a bit surprised. ”wow… never thought I would find this” he said smiling, the cans were the first thing people took during the riots as it kept the content longer eatable than anything else. He held the can in his hand as he walked out of the kitchen stopping in the doorway for a second. He took his camera in the free hand and took a picture of the woman. ”now let me get my weapon back and then go to the hideout… This is enough for now” went through his mind as he walked through the hallway to the backdoor. As he reached the backdoor he opened it a little bit so that he could see if those walkers were still in the garden. He saw that now only one of them was still in the garden. ”I can do this” he whispered to himself as he placed the can with soup on the ground.
When the walker wasn’t looking Wesley opened the door and ran for his bat. The walker quickly noticed Wesley and charged towards him grunting. Wesley reached the pile of broken pipe pieces and saw that a couple of pipes were lying on top of his bat. He then saw the walker that was charging towards him a bit too late. In a quick reflex Wesley grabbed his camera and flashed the walker straight in the face. He then took a quick sidestep as the walker blinded by the flash ran into the wall and falling on the ground. Without thinking Wesley grabbed his knife from his pocket and flipped it open. He then started to hyperactively stab the walker, who was wildly grabbing around himself, until it stopped moving and remained dead on the ground. ”that was too close” he thought as he looked down on the dead walker and flipped his knife back in the hilt and placed it back in his pocket. He then walked to the pile of drainpipes and grabbed the hilt of his baseball bat and pulled it from beneath the few pipes that were laying on it. ”let’s go home now” he said to himself as he strapped his bat on his back and picked up the can of soup. He then went back to his school hideout.

As he arrived at the hideout he heard the clouds above him rumble. he looked up to the sky and thought ”it’s going to rain soon… I hope that girl has found herself somewhere safe to hide” before he entered the school. The school had 2 floors, the ground floor and an upper floor, and throughout most of the hallways and classrooms Wesley has placed obstacles and small barricades using the closets and desks that were in the school.
Wesley moved pass all the barricades and obstacles he made and went to a classroom on the upper floor, the classroom had a good view on the front street. There he opened a closet containing his food supply and placed the can and the candy bars in it with the rest of the food before closing it. ”finally I can rest” he yawned as he dropped down on a couch that was standing against the wall. From there he could see the sky through the window as he slowly fell asleep.
