gates and travel past the tall trees in the forest, the only sounds are our feet walking through the grass and leaves, the wind rustling the trees and the quiet chatter of the others in the group, but soon is disrupted by groaning sounds echoing through the forests, “be ready everyone!” orders Colonel, we all ready our weapons, guns click, knife are at the ready, and I pull my bat from my bag, a single zombie wades towards us, there’s a gunshot that takes out the zombie in one, “they’re attracted to sound! The guns are for a large amount of them, there’s going to be crowds of them now!” Colonel shouts, a moment later more groan sounds erupt through the forest, and suddenly we’re surrounded by zombies with their outstretched arms and gnashing teeth, I turn to Colonel unsure what to do, “now they’re here use everything you’ve got, don’t let them scratch you or bite you!” Colonel orders, we spread out with weapons ready, bullets fly through the air knocking multiple zombies down, I run forward and bash the zombies with my bat, blood and organs fly hitting me in the face and staining my clothes, the numbers reduce to a large handful of zombies surrounding us now.

All is heard is the growls from the zombies, the sound of our blades and bullets hitting the zombies, and shouts from everyone attacking the zombies, then a sudden scream I recognise to be Sam's scream, I push through to get to her, a zombie is on top of her its teeth gnashing inches away from her face, she continues to scream and tries to push and kick the zombie away but it's no use, its size is too much for her to handle, I rush forwards and swing my bat across the zombies head, blood is splattered and the zombie falls on top of Sam now dead, I help her push its large weight off her and pull her to her feet, "are you okay? It didn’t bite your or anything did it?" I ask searching her for bite marks, she pulls away from me "no I'm fine really, thanks for your help" I nod and hurry back to the others who have finished the other zombies off with no casualties.

Sam's POV

I dust myself off and start walking back to the others, I wince as I feel pain in my arm and roll my sleeve to find the source, hoping the zombies bruised me with its large weight but my eyes widen in horror to see a large bite mark, bloody and sore on my skin, I head towards April ready to tell her what happened but I stop in my tracks, 'if that zombie bit me, that means I'll turn, if they find out they’ll kill me or leave me out here to be killed' I sigh and realise I won’t be able to trust anyone with this.

We all begin to walk into town where there are abandoned shops, I follow quietly worrying about the predicament I have just landed myself into.

The town is empty and quiet, with only the wind whistling occasionally and shaking the trees, we enter the abandoned shops in groups to search for supplies, myself, April and Colonel enter a grocery shop, "stay close girls, we're searching for food, medication, or hygiene products" we both nod to him in agreement and start searching the aisles, I find some tinned food and place it into my bag clenching my teeth to keep from wincing or crying out over my arm, April collects some medication, she and Colonel share a smile which seems bizarre to me, as she stormed out on him a few nights ago.

"When did you and Colonel become close?" I ask trying not to feel jealous of their friendship, "we're not that close, I don’t know it's a bit complicated, he’s my dad you know? And he has been training me so I can control my outbursts and become stronger for outings" she says with a shrug, "you've been training with him?" I ask confused about this sudden development, "I thought you hated him for leaving?" I ask.

"I did, I do but he’s still my dad, I need to give him a real chance to make it up to me, he’s really been trying and I read the letters he wrote to us and we never got, and he’s been there for me when no one else really got what I was going through" she explains, I nod in response and start to understand their relationship a little better, I feel a pang of guilt I hadn’t been there for her more during what's been going on, I've only shown attention to Damon which I need to make up for.

"Can I tell you something, it's kind of a secret but I want you to know" April nods and turns to me as we continue collecting items, "when I wasn’t acting myself, that sort of happens sometimes, I've got a split personality disorder, one part of me which you know is the part I like and is the main part of me, but there's another side to me which you saw a glimpse of, this side of me is selfish, manipulative and it’s like having an evil twin, it's a side of myself I've hid for the longest time, when I was younger I starting acting like my other self and my parents didn’t understand why I changed to something so negative, they took me to a doctor that prescribed pills to keep it in check, and it works a majority of the time but my other self sometimes slips through the cracks, I never remember what I've done but I wake up with gaps in my memory so I know it took over for a while, if it happens again you need to stay away from me, my other self is a completely different person, she
