Chapter 8: New Friends and New Threats

Dylan's POV

Day 215

The sky is grey and boring as the sun is covered by clouds. It's probably spring soon, but I haven't waiting for weathers last days like the rain.

And everything hasn't changed either since those ghouls started showing up and eat people.

It only getting worse and worse everytime.

I'm on some street with many wrecked cars. Chase and I are scavenged, but didn't find any food or at least something useful. Which I getting little annoying now.

There's nothing out here, but junk and scrap! Ugh, there's gotta be what we can find!

Everything is... flagged.

It has been almost two months since the snow has already melted away though it was winter back there. And the camp has barely changed either, but we're still running on good enough. Anyway, there's one awkwardly thing that Chase, Jessica, even Justin too, and I can't stop bother is Russell... Ever since he join into our group, that teenager has always be an ass of us sometimes. It reminds me little about Alexandr when he wanna be alone, but sometimes he stop fighting with me or Chase. I don't know if Russell will ever stop being mean of us.

I sighed as I take another sneak on the next car.

But Rebecca doesn't despised Russell though she admit the boy isn't nice. At least, Jessica always going off at him when he started accusing me, Rebecca or Chase about something. Vince trying to make them to stop and come in good foot, I'm doubt that will ever happened.

Out of my thoughts, I was interrupted by some cranks from behind as I stop thinking and turned around while drew out my pistol.

It was Chase who just stepped on some broken piece of car window on the ground.

Phew, thought it was someone else, or at least a ghoul.

I huffed and put my pistol back in the holster at my right leg. Then I approaching Chase who holding his shotgun and checking around of a wrecked truck.

"Find anything?" I asked.

"Yeah. Just some junk... and coins of course." Chase said with a smirk and showing me some coins in his hand. I sighed. Seriously? "You know they're not useful anymore, don't you?" I crossed my arms and narrows my eyes at Chase.

"Hey, it's not that what I mean or whatever you saying." Chase said as he raised his hand up with one of coins. "It's about tracking ghoul's attention. Once you throw it away to something, especially to metal that it will making a sound so a ghoul will walk to the direction where it came from."

I raised a eyebrow when I realized that he's got a point there.

"You got something that I can keep it in my mind." I said as Chase scoffed before we decided to go back to our camp.

During in our way back to the camp, I was thinking about leaving for South Carolina to try find our mom. It has been almost seven or eight months ago since everything of this started and mother was nowhere to being found. Same to our other friends too...

I hope they're alright.

"Chase." I called to Chase.

"Yeah, what is it?" He said.

"Are you sure we're really ready for the longest trip for the east?" I asked.

"Ready when Ica is done with her truck." Chase nodded with a smile. "But..."

I looked at him questionable. But what?

"Huh? What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing... it just... about the group. You, me, Rebecca, Ica and I can tell that Justin is still death willing to find a big settlement as Jessica always convinced him to stay over these cold months until when everything's ready. Well, mostly."

I sighed. I know what he mean...

"No kidding. Vince isn't sure about the east. I wish we all should go together, but it's his decision. Plus, unlike from us, he has no any intentions about why heading for the east." I pointed out.

"Same here, bro. Everyone, well... besides Russell. I doubt that he will join with us in our journey." Chase said with a displeased expression on his face.

"Yeah.. He might been have a rough history like we all have. Probably worse than our own and the others's, but geez... He need leave the past behind." I said and let a groan-sigh out of my mouth.

"Well, everyone always say that anyone can't blame him for it example, and it's too hard to remember that in this tough world." Chase said. "But I agree with that, it doesn't have any meaning with us, Rebecca or Jessica either."

I nodded in response. I hope one day Russell will stop being meanie at us, but that boy is getting already in my nerves...

Right we were taking relax from talking about Russell, we heard a crank from a forest right next of us which we both drew out our guns and aim at the direction where the sound came from.

What was that? A ghoul?

After several seconds, non of us didn't make a move or something didn't appeared out of forest... yet.

Until then, Chase broke our remain silence. "It wasn't a ghoul. Somebody has watching at us..." He whispered to me. Now you mentioned it...

We're be on guard now as Chase start called out to whoever hiding in the forest.

"Who's there? Come out! And don't make anything stupid!" Chase ordered to someone else.

Until then, there was three persons who finally came out of their hideout and having their arms up in surrounded. There was two woman and a man. The man looked around forty late to fifty earlier. He wears brown jacket and blue jeans. The older man has grey hair and also has beard. Blue eyes just like one of mine as well.

One of women looks older in the man's age. She wears a pink jacket with fur collar. Blue pants. She's blonde and looks kind of dressed out as the woman has red nail polishes.

The other woman looks younger than her friends like late 20s. She has red hair with a high bun at the back of her head, though her hairstyle is little messy. She wears a blue coat over a green tank-top with grey pants.

It doesn't looks like they have any guns.

"Hold on, boys, we just... just wanna talk." The older man said. Talk?

"Huh. Well, speak your names first. And then we might can talk." I said, keep my gun aim at them.

The older woman looked hesitant to talk with us, but she take a couple steps to us cautiously.

"My name is Dee." The older introduced herself for us, and then she gesture at the older man. "This is my husband, Leland."

And then she looking at the younger woman. "And this is Bonnie."

The younger woman, Bonnie wave up her hand to say hey.

Chase and I look at each other in a few seconds before we lower our guns down.

"Is it just three of you? Are you guys from a group?" I asked as Bonnie shook her head in response. "No, it just us. We haven't even meet other new people for a while before you two."

"Where you guys are from?" Chase asked.

Right when one of them were going to answer, a small herd over ten of ghouls appeared from the aside of them.

Dammit, ghouls!

"Oh my god!" Dee exclaimed.

"Get out of there!" Chase ordered them as they run out of the forest and came to us.

I and Chase start firing our guns at ghouls. Chase got two of them while I hit one and one more.

Then I heard some growling sound from behind me. I turned to face the sound and it was a ghoul whoa already grabbed me.

OH SHIT!

I trying to struggle off that while I reaching for my knife in the pocket. And then I drew it out and stabbed right into the skull.

Phew, that was close!

Chase still fired at the rest of them until he run out ammo. "Great..." He mumbled out and going drew out his machete.

There's three left ghouls limping towards us, but suddenly, we heard more gunshots as all three of them got bullets in their heads.

But it wasn't me, Chase or non of those strangers either as they didn't have guns.

"Well, well, that was another surprise, and some strangers here."

We heard it was Jessica's voice as we and strangers turned around to face her. Jessica was standing there right a little further from us and held her Beretta before she pulled it back in her holster.

Then, Jessica approach us and laid her eyes at Dee, Leland and Bonnie.

"Thanks for saving our asses, again." Chase said, but Jessica didn't listen him as she can't stare at the new people.

"New people? I like new people..." Jessica said, but she then starring at Bonnie with a shock look. "Bonnie? Is that really you?"

Our eyes widened in shock. What?! Jessica knows that Bonnie-girl?!

Before anyone could ask that, Bonnie somehow exchanged her look into a disgusted angry one.

"You... YOU! You fucking bitch! How dare you to come see me after what you have done to my mother?!" Bonnie snarled as she stomped right onto Jessica, but Leland stopped her. "Whoa, Bonnie! Take it easy!" Leland held her back from going to do stupid with Jessica.

What?! Her mother?

"That selfish idiot caused my mother's dead!" Bonnie point her finger at Jessica.

Chase and I look at each other before we looking incredibly at our formerly friend who have a lot of history, but she already told us that she's not kind of a cold murder.

"Jessica, what is she talking about? What did she mean you caused her mother's dead?" I asked.

Jessica, by the way, closed her eyes and let a sigh escaped from her mouth. She shook her head and crossed her arms before opened her eyes again.

"Still doesn't wanna believe it about what I told you? I can say not a single bit." Jessica sighed.

"Fuck you! Don't act like that you are the innocent here." Bonnie snapped.

"I've told you like plenty times that I didn't had another choice than sacrifice her to them. People always thinking about their main priority first just like I was thinking about my gang whom where in the game of life or dead too." Jessica said in annoyance. "And that was how your mother told me when she decided to sacrifice herself to safe us, including you too. It was her own decision."

Me, Chase or Bonnie's didn't understand what they talking about. Whatever it was, doesn't sounds good the way what I hear from them...

After what Jessica just told to Bonnie, the young woman just turn around because she doesn't wanna see the black haired teenager anymore.

I walked over to Jessica who just sighed in annoyance by the younger woman's response.

"What was that all about?" I inquired. Jessica rolled her eyes. "Let me explain this later." She replied and look at Dee and Leland now. "So, you two are Bonnie's new friends?"

"Yeah... we found her for a few months ago. She wasn't... good back there." Leland explained as Jessica nodded understandingly, but Chase or I either didn't get it what he was talking about.

"No mean to being rude with you, but I hope you, these boys or anyone from your group are not someone who like some stuff." Dee asked and crossed her arms over her chest.

I raised an eyebrow. What? What stuff did she mean?

"Dee, come on. They're just-" But Jessica cut Leland off. "No, it's okay, old man. No, we're not drug people if that's what you wonder about us.

Oh... Now I get it. But I still give a look to Dee for that.

"Anyway, where are you two from?" Jessica asked.

"We are from Birmingham, Alabama. We were traveling for the north. On our way in here Georgia, we found Bonnie then." Leland answered.

After he was done, Jessica's eyes looked sad.

Huh? What's wrong with her?

"I... I have my mother's relatives in Birmingham. How was back there?" Jessica desperately asked with a worry face.

Dee and Leland looked down with their sad looks while Bonnie just turned around and have her back to Jessica.

She's really doesn't like her.

"Sorry. It was... unexpected awful there like..." Leland said with a sympathy look on his face.

"We got lucky to escape from being blow up apart." Dee said, gaining everyone's attention except Leland and Bonnie. Escape? Blow up apart?! What the heck is she talking about?

"What do you mean 'escape from being blow up apart'?" Chase asked with a perplexed stare.

"Look, it's... long story. And I understand that some of you guys might have some family somewhere in the country, but first we wanna know about you guys like; where are you from and how can we trust you?" Dee said politely.

Me, Chase or Jessica wasn't sure to answer that question. But the fact is that they don't look so bad and they have right to be wary on us like we always are when encounter with some strangers. Though of that, they were watching at us before we noticed.

I'm just standing and didn't say word while keep my gun in my hand as Chase did the same with his shotgun.

Jessica, by the way, has lightly twisted her only blonde inch hair around with her finger to think. Until then, she stopped doing that and open her mouth to answer back.

"We're from a small camp somewhere in a large field. Outside of a forty-five miles way." Jessica explained with her calm terms. "You're welcome to join with us if you promise not to do anything stupid."

That... That sounds good.

"Really? Why thanks, we have-" But Dee was interrupted when Bonnie who immediately step right aside of the middle-age woman. "We are NOT going with you! NOT AFTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH ME!" She objected furiously.

But Jessica just sighed and rolled her eyes when she's annoyed by the tone from Bonnie.

Oh, for the cry sake! Cut it off!

"It was just an offer, woman. Don't take personality on her out of nothing." Chase added, but Bonnie didn't listen him and still just glare at Jessica.

"Come on, Dee. Leland. Let's go before that little slut will cause any trouble." Bonnie tell to her friends which Dee looked so angry at her.

"Shut up!" Dee exclaimed, gaining everyone's attentions, especially Bonnie's as the young woman looked shock by the middle-age woman. "These kids has saved our lives, including your's too! And they offered us to stay at their camp, and now you refuse just because of your PAST?!"

"What?! But I-" Bonnie trying to explain as her look is mixed by anger and shame. "No buts, Bonnie! I'm sorry about whatever happened in your past, but now I think you need to drop it and start focus about us, not just your stupid ass! We have been in rough situations without a damn rest and now we have a chance at their camp! So SHUT IT!" Dee snapped.

Neither me, Chase or Jessica don't wanna settled in this argument with that sternly woman.

I scratching the back of my neck. Okay...

"Hey, girls! Calm down. You two start acting like a couple of kids." Leland stopped the argument, but gaining a glare from his own wife. "When will you stop be in between me and HER?" Dee complained.

"Guys, I don't wanna being part in your 'marriage problem', but we gotta go before more of ghouls will shows up." Jessica stopped their argument.

"Ghouls?" Leland asked and looked confused. "That's what we calling them trying to eat us." Jessica explained. "Are you coming or not? That goes double for you, Bonnie."

Bonnie give a finger towards Jessica as the former criminal just ignored that and turned to the direction where our camp are.

"Come on, boys. Let's get going." Jessica ordered as we followed her.

When we're doing that, Dee give a look to Bonnie before she follow us.

"Come on, Bonnie. I don't know what happened with your mother, but now there's no other choice. We deserves a safe place." Leland said.

Bonnie grumbled in defeat. "Fine..."

As for that, those trio followed us.

While we're heading back to our camp, I wonder what's the story between Jessica and Bonnie. I mean, I trust Jessica, but Bonnie doesn't.

Sounds like there's gonna be another tension with Jessica...

Five days later

I'm starring at the rain as my face is already wet now.

I sighed. Another pissing weather...

"Weathers doesn't giving us a damn rest." Rebecca complained as I nodded.

Chase, Rebecca and I are on another supplies-hunter with the new members of our group. I remember that day when we brought Bonnie, Dee and Leland to our group. No one didn't barely bother on them except Russell... He practically doesn't trust anyone. But he didn't do anything about it as Jessica told him to hit on the road if he ever gives another shit on our newcomers.

Although the negative relationship with Ica, Bonnie seems very nice and kind, but little confident of her. Dee is... such a policy woman sometimes. And Leland looks okay to me, but I got a weird feeling about between him and... Bonnie.

Could they be...

I then shook my head. No, no, no way. Not in Dee's life.

We three are at the distance while Leland and Bonnie are talking each other benefit of water tower as we all waiting for Dee who knows what she's doing now. This is the same place were we're going to meet Jennifer and the others, but they didn't arrived.

It feels like it was yesterday...

"Eh, boys?" Rebecca said as Chase and I turned to her. "Ica told me that her truck is ready to roll. So tomorrow-" But Chase interrupted her with his shout of relief. "Oh yeah! It's about time to leave!"

"But there's other problem." Rebecca added and her face fell down.

I sighed. I think I know why...

"Let me guess, we're gonna split up." I guessed.

Rebecca nodded sadly. Chase and I looked down sadly. Vince and some others have helped us to survive and I wish we could do something to repay back.

"It's not gonna be easy to say farewell." I stated.

Tell me about it.

"Wish we could have Kiwi as sort of pigeon? We could sent some postcards to Vince and the others." Chase joked.

I sighed in annoyance.

"Odd's dog? Are you really out of your mind, Chase?" I said. "How can a stupid dog doing that such favor for us?"

Rebecca smirked at my words. "Yeah, but I wouldn't say he's that stupid. Remember back there he saved you?"

"Hey, I would still be fine even-" But interrupted when Dee who called us from nowhere.

"Leland? Bonnie? Kids?"

We start look around and then saw Dee came out brushes right by the water tower as we three heading for them.

Finally she is here. What taking so long in this weather?!

"Dee." Leland said.

"Hey, honey."

When we standing right beside of Bonnie and Leland, Dee walked over to us and have a suspicion look on her face.

What's with her now?

"I found us something. What're you two up to?" Dee asked and placed a hand on Leland's shoulder on the other side from her while held her husband's arm with her other hand.

We were speechless of something with her.

"Eh... we're just talking. Me, Dylan and Rebecca while Bonnie and Leland did the same together." Chase finally replied without having his eyes at the woman who looked skeptical by his words.

I shook my head slowly. Oh, nice going, Chase.

"And what do you two talking about?" Dee asking to Bonnie and Leland. "Excuse me, but we are right heeere. How about this one; where have you been?" Rebecca retort.

"Out there, down by the road." Dee replied and turned around. "I got you a present."

She shows a bag on her back that it looks so full of something.

"Aw, you shouldn't have." Leland scoffed.

"Amazing! Man, that is first jackpot in those three weeks with low supplies." Chase said in relief. Yeah, it really is.

I notice Rebecca and Bonnie have weird stares at Dee and the bag.

It seems like they wonder where did Dee get that from.

Talk about that, Leland mirrored Rebecca's and Bonnie's faces. "Where did you find?" He asked curiously.

"I'll tell you later. I don't mean to interrupt your 'talk' with your 'girlfriend', but um... we gotta get moving." Dee said with sort of a smugly tone in her voice, gaining some disbelief looks from us, especially from Bonnie.

Dee start heading back to our camp while we just stare at her and her previously words from her mouth.

I carefully look at Bonnie who looked little insulted, but she's too confused as she can't talk back to Dee.

"Did she mean that..." Rebecca whispered to me and Chase from behind, but trailed off as she don't or can't finish the last words. Although of that, we both understands what she mean as we shrugged in response that we don't know.

After a few seconds, we then follow Dee's lead. Actually, follow the trail back to the road through the forest in this rain.

Leland getting close to his wife and asking her about the bag again.

"So, where'd you get the bag, Dee?" Leland asked, but Dee ignored the question as she didn't respond or either take her eyes on her husband.

Rebecca still keep her weird stare at the bag.

Is it really obviously to find out where'd Dee found the bag?

"What's in the bag, Dee?" Bonnie asked.

"I told you, it's a surprise..." Dee reminded.

"There are so many surprises in this mess world. Is it that enough?" Rebecca retort.

"Look, I found it down the road a piece, all right?" Dee said hasty, but gaining a skeptical glance from her husband. "WHERE down the road?" Leland demanded.

"Some place off thatta way."

What? Wait a minute, what's that supposed to mean?

"Look, I don't care where'd you found the bag, but you're not making any sense." Chase butted in.

"No offense, Dee, but... eh, did you steal it?" Rebecca asked.

Whoa hold on-

"WHAT?" Dee exclaimed in disbelief as she scowled over her shoulder at Rebecca.

Rebecca jumped by the woman's scowl as I stepped right between her and Dee in defend.

"Look, I think Rebecca just say that you might have took the bag from someone, especially if the owner is still alive." I explained.

"And that's what your girlfriend saying that I am a thief?" Dee said with a glare.

"Dee, Rebecca's right; if you stole the bag, we need to know before the others at the camp do. Don't gotta make no big deal out of it." Leland supports Rebecca's theory.

In response, Dee stop walking as we did the same. She looks so annoying by us now.

"You guys sure gang up on me a lot lately." Dee complained.

"Bonnie, that ain't true." Leland shot back.

"Tell me one time that you've sided with me in the last week. The last MONTH." Dee said.

Leland just standing there and pondered the words from his wife while we the rest just stare at them. Couldn't feel anything but embarrassing.

Reminds me and Chase how our parents fighting sometimes when it's about their business, but neither both of us did bother of them...

But honestly; is this how it is in a marriage life?

"Alright, I can't remember one ESPECIALLY, but I know I have." Leland rhetorically replied, but gaining one more glare from Dee. "False. This is how all our fights go. Every time."

Whoa hold on there. Since when she can just make decisions for someone?

Rebecca and I crossed our arms and try to avoid from watching at the argument while Bonnie and Chase look around in case if any ghouls will attract by this stupid marriage talk.

"Hey, maybe we should moving before-" Chase try to reason with them, but trailed off because non of didn't listen him and still arguing each other.

"Hey! Come on! This isn't going to help for us!" Bonnie exclaimed, but no affect.

"I know you did that on purpose!" Leland spat.

Argh! They driving me crazy!

"You listen to me now! I had-" Dee shot back, but interrupted by Bonnie who exclaim now. "Shut the hell up, Dee! Leave Leland alone!"

"I don't get to the point in this, but you better stop babbling out of nothing right in this damn forest!" Chase hissed.

Dee glare at Bonnie and Chase in response. "This is ain't your business, you two. This is between me and him." Dee retort, gesture at her husband.

"Well, you can't just force him to side with you every time. In the other word, we're in a group; there are NO sides!" Rebecca shout out.

The woman widened her eyes in shock by that tone from her before she exchange them.

"Excuse me, but when did you start making up all of this?" Dee crossed her arms.

"Hey, it was just a piece of her advice." I said with a glare.

"Enough!" Leland exclaimed and look at Dee. "They've right. We start fighting like a couple kids AGAIN."

"That's because you didn't listen to me." Dee complained.

Leland's face fell in defeat and then look at Bonnie who look displeased over the argument.

"Bonnie, darling. I'm sorry we're-"

"DARLING?" Dee exclaimed in disbelief as Leland looked ashamed at her. "Dee, come on..."

I'm getting intense now. Who-oh...

"Save it! I know what side your bread is buttered on!" Dee snapped and then scowled at Bonnie. "Your's, too."

"Oh for Christ's sake! I'm out of here! I thought this weather will pissed me, but you two? You messing me out!" Chase snapped them out as he start back and forth, but then he stopped when was going to turned back.

What's wrong with him now?

"Chase?" I said.

But he didn't listen because he saw something at the distance in the forest.

"What the hell?" He muttered in shock.

I turned to the direction where he was looking at.

There was some flashlights behind of the fence at distance of water tower and they're moving as heading onto us.

What the heck?! Who are-

A gunshot appeared and-

"AAARGH!" I yelled in pain as I fell down on my knell.

"Dylan!" Rebecca exclaimed in horror as she crouched down to check with me. "Holy shit! You're shot in the leg!" Chase exclaimed in shock and then raise up his shotgun and firing a few gunshots.

"Come on, we gotta go!" Dee yelled.

"Whoa, hold on, Dee! We can't leave-" But Dee interrupted Leland through drag him to run away with her. I see they're run away while I still laying on ground. What the hell?! They or at least Dee just wanna leave us behind?!

"Wait, guys! We have to help Dylan!" Bonnie called out. Before anyone could answer back, she got bullet too, but in the shoulder as she grunted out in pain and were going to fall down, but still held her balance back.

"Bonnie! Are you okay?" Rebecca asked worriedly.

"I'm fine... I... I think I can still walk..." Bonnie said uncertainty as she clutched at the shoulder with her hand.

"Then, go! Go back to the camp! We'll be fine!" Rebecca exclaimed firmly.

"Dammit! I can't keep them back forever! We gotta get the hell away!" Chase exclaimed and grabbed me by my arm to get me up on my feet. "Can you still walk?"

I don't think so...

"I'm hit in my leg, so no!" I replied as Chase have my arm over his shoulders. "Come on, hold me tight!" He ordered.

"Here let me help." Rebecca insist, but Chase shook his head. "No! Go after Bonnie and the others!" Chase objected.

"But-"

"No BUTS!" Chase bellowed as Rebecca and I look shock by his outburst, although of that, Rebecca and Bonnie start ran away as we both left and follow them.

But I'm afraid that I slow Chase and me myself down. I barely limping though Chase supports me.

Chase support me and ran away from whoever shot me and Bonnie as fast as we can.

We can't see Bonnie or Rebecca either as I'm getting worry about my girlfriend. Please, be alright, Rebecca...

Out of trees and brushes, we ended at the edge of a hill onto the roadway.

"Oh crap! Now what?" I said and look over my shoulder. Those people with flashlights still chasing after us. But where's Rebecca and the others? "They're coming! Man, we're screwed!"

But Chase didn't look defeated as I am as he look down around of the hill.

"I think this rain has giving us a benefit of this hill." Chase said with a smirk as I look at him weirdly. What?!

"What do you mean by-" Suddenly he hold me tight and make us a slightly jump. WHAT THE?!

Our asses landed on the verge side of hill and then we sliding down so fast onto the roadway.

"WHOO-HOO!" Chase shouted out of this 'enjoyment' while I can't help, but being freaking out of this fast. "AAAHH!"

When we came to the end, Chase accidentally lost his grip on me when our feet landed on the ground and then I leaned forward and down.

I hit on the ground. ARGH!

Then I start jolt up slowly and turn to Chase with a glare.

"Sorry, but that was the only way to escape. Plus it was fun." Chase sheepishly said as he scratchy at the neck with his hand.

Aw, give me a break...!

"Fun?! How can you really enjoy this while there's some crazy people who chasing us after shot your brother's leg?!" I complained and gesture at my leg, but then I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I look up and saw flashlights at the edge of hill.

Oh no! They're right up ahead of us!

"Chase, those guys didn't give up!" I warned as Chase getting up on his feet quickly and then help me up as possible as he can.

We start dart over the roadway, passed some wrecked cars. Another gunshot appeared and the bullet hit a window of a car right beside of us.

Jesus! That was close!

We have no choice but running into a nearby cornfield.

"I think we will losing them if we hiding in here." Chase suggested.

When we getting into the cornfield, I take a look behind and saw the people sliding down over the hill to the roadway. Damn, will does guys ever give up?!

"They're coming." I speaking to Chase's ear. "They won't find us. Not a chance." Chase said while we're carefully walk in a row at the course in the cornfield.

"Glad that you're so confident." I sighed in annoyance.

"Hey, I'm trying to being little optimism."

"How's that gonna help us when there are some-"

Another gunshot appeared, but this time it wasn't from behind us. After that, we've heard a familiar voice that shouted out.

"Dee! Rebecca!"

Leland?!

We stopped walking and try to find Leland, but can't barely see here this cornfield. I am anxious to what happened with Rebecca.

Then another gunshot and someone yelled.

"Was it Dee?" Chase asked.

"Possible it was her, but it doesn't sounds good." I stated as Chase slightly nodded. "Now I'm worry about Rebecca..."

"I'm worry about her too, but we gotta find a safe place and then figured out what the hell is going on here." Chase planned out.

I was reluctantly of that suggestion, but he's right. We can't do any-

Before Chase were going to walk us again, a black silhouette passed us from the left to the right as we lightly gasped out.

Shit... did whoever saw us?

But after a few seconds, we saw a couple of flashlights appear from different directions, one from the left and the other right front of us, but little too far away for able to see us yet.

Chase immediately jumped us to aside and ended in another raw of cornfield. We continued to walk, try to escape from those whoever firing at us back in the forest.

"Damn, where are you?" We heard a male voice grumbled from behind as we continue to walk. "Did anyone see anything?" Another unfamiliar voice asked.

Once when we heading so far, a flashlight came out from nowhere and aim at us as we panicked up.

Our eyes widened.

Oh-oh!

"Oh no! Come, this way." Chase hissed and supported me to another direction, trying to escape from being spotted by that flashlight.

We ended in a small area with no corn stalks. There was a tractor as Chase darted us onto it.

When we turned the corner of it, we find Bonnie who looked frightened and exhausted as she gasped out. "Bonnie? It's us." I said.

"Oh my god. Thank god it's just you two, boys." Bonnie huffed in relief.

"Same here, but we got a problem now." Chase said as he and I hiding behind the tractor with Bonnie.

Bonnie catching a breath while I doing the same. As I sitting down on the ground behind the tractor, I peek out and saw someone with a flashlight approaching us slowly.

He or she is coming right to us!

"Someone's coming." I warned Chase and Bonnie as they look intense now. "Can you shoot that guy?"

"No, it's just about wasting ammo, but reveal his friends that we're here." Chase pointed out and look around to find something that it can be useful to shut that guy.

Until he spotted a piece of rebar on the ground as he reached and grabbed it.

Good work, bro. Now the hard step...

Chase holding the rebar and prepare to hit the person with the flashlight as he or she is getting close to us.

Here we go...
