Chapter 7 Harry's Store
I then reached in my bag a got out my flashlight and I made sure it still had batteries I turned it on and flashed it on the ground to start and saw a huge blood trail it started at the door and I wasn't going to follow it. I heard a loud crash and I started to walk in that direction. My heart started to beat fast again I tried to keep my breathing under control. A slight breeze started to come from the front door I kept looking in the aisle for a zombie or a person. Then I reached the aisle where the sound came from and I looked down it and nothing was there. I flashed my light on the ground and saw that a jar was smashed. I started to whisper that I wasn't a zombie and I started to approach them slowly I whispered again that I wasn't going to hurt them I was here to help but they didn't answer maybe they didn't hear me so I said it again a little bit louder and still nothing then I yelled it out and I heard footsteps and I ran over to it and I could hear them running now so I started to run even faster and I flashed my light on them and saw that it was a guy and I started to think maybe it was Dillon. This guy ran into a storage closet to hide.
"Why are you running for me" I yelled at him. I walked over to the door and kicked it and my foot bounced off.
"Just open the door" then I let out a scream in frustration and then said why. I then sat down next to the door. I heard more things in the store start to fall. All the things in one aisle kept falling so I got up and turned on my flashlight and walked over to the noise. I poked my head over the aisle and saw five zombies in the aisle. I picked up a jar of salsa and throw it at one of them. The jar smashed and glass went everywhere and in the process, it knocked down the zombie. So I kept throwing jars at zombies when I looked over and saw the door open from the closet. Then a tall kid walked out probably around six feet seven inches he looked scared and I then pulled out my pistol and shot the zombies and killed them I walked over to him and asked him.
"Why did you ran after you knew I was a human" then he looked at me and said
"Some other kid I ran into said to watch out for a kid about your height and he said his name was Tyler"
"Was he my height and did he say his name?" I asked him.
"Yeah his name was Dillon and how did you know about him" he then asked me.
"Cause he left me behind with a ton of zombies to die but I never asked you what your name is"
He looked around for a second then told me his name was David and he said he was from Deer lakes, which is pretty close to Springdale, so I decided to stick around with David for now.
"Okay David have you ever heard of deer creek cemetery"
"Oh yeah that Dillon kid is also heading their"
"Why didn't you go with him instead of coming here?"
"Well I did go with him he just sent me on a food run"
"How well is that place fortified"
"It is pretty awesome"
"Okay I am going to break into that place"
"Why would you do that?"
"Because he left me to die and it will be the last time he will ever do that to anyone," I told David.
"Oh so we are going to kill everybody," he said
"No just leave him all alone because I know that some of them are my friends. You understand now" I told him again.
"I think I do," he said a little confused.
"Good enough for me. Okay, David, the plan is you will walk in and give him the food and if he asked what happened just say that you ran into a kid that he warned you about and say you killed me so he gets relaxed do you understand so far," he then nodded his head yes. "Then walk over to the top of the hill you will see lots of dirt that was dumped over there and wait until you see a flashing light and you're going to tell them that you saw a pack of zombies by the hill then go hide after. I am going to see who it is at first if I don't think they are good enough I will have to kill them. Then when I come up the hill I will look out for snipers and continue to move up gradually. When I reach the office which Dillon will be in expect all hell to break lose,"
"Okay are you really going to kill him?'' he asked me.
