Episode 1: War’s comming
Part 1: A new beginning
2 Months into the ZA-Jump the fence, hurry up -- Jared shouted while the bullets flied through the air.
-Wait a sec, carrying this bag isn’t easy you know – Max replied.
-Walkers are coming in – a man screamed.
Max finally managed to climb the fence, both ran into the forest, while the camp was destroyed right behind them.
-Take this gun -- Max said while taking out a gun from the bag.
-I feel guilty these could have helped the camp – Jared said while taking the gun.
-That place was doomed, not even a tank could have saved it – Max answered.
-Man, just when I thought we had found a nice place to stay—Jared said
-It seemed nice, but those fucking bandits --- Max replied.
-Here it is, the cabin.—Jared said as they arrived to the destiny they had planned.
-Now let’s wait for Annie and Rick – Max said whit relief.
10 minute later.The sound of a car broke the silence of the night.
-It’s them -- Jared said
-Come on—Max said
-I was worried you weren’t gonna make it – Jared said while he was taking the bags out of the cabin.
-Come one if we had to be worried about someone, it was you guys.—Annie answered.
-Can we just put these bags on the car-- Rick interrupted.
-Calm down we made it out of that mess – Annie said
-I feel bad for all the people that died there – Jared said.
-I wanted to help them too, but we might have died trying to help them – Max said.
- That guy Louise, they stabbed him in the back , then they shot him in the throat and pushed him to the walkers.—Rick reminded.
-Those bandits are awful people – Annie said—let’s just try to forget about them.
-Let’s get in the car -- Max said.
20 minutes of driving later.-Well we’re finally out of that forest – Max said in the backseat.
-Did you got the cheese I asked you for, Rick? – Jared asked.
-Here it is.—Rick answered.
-You have an unhealthy obsession with cheese Jared – Annie said from the driver seat.
-Cheese is the best food in the world, period.—Jared replied.
-And what are we going to do now? – Max asked.
-I don’t know, we could go to Savannah, you remember that time we went fishing with your dad? – Jared said remembering better times.
-Yeah and you fell from the boat trying to catch that fish – Max said in laughter.
-Hey we hadn’t catch anything …and never did – Jared said
-Yeah my mo went bersek with my dad, cause she didn’t cooked anything, cause he promised he was going to bring fish for di…
-Guys I’m biten – Rick interrupted.
Annie stopped the car abruptly.
-What the fuck? Why didn’t you tell us?—she shouted.
-I was afraid you were going to leave me – Rick answered.
-You’re my best friend , of course I wasn’t going to leave you .
-What do we do now? – Jared said in a worried tone.
-Maybe we could cut his limb—Max tried to help.
-It was on a side, it was during the escape – Rick said—I’m already dead just leave on the side of the road.
-No we’ll keep on driving – Annie answered -- I won’t leave you ‘till the end.
2 hours later.Annie kept driving, but Rick already had fever.
-How’s he? - Max asked.
-He’s getting worse—Jared answered with an hopeless tone .
-I’m thirsty – Rick hardly said.
-There’s no water, I wasn’t able to get It — Max replied.
-There’s a gas station ahead – Annie said—there might be water there.
Annie parked the car and everyone got out.
-You take care of the supplies and the car Jared – Annie said with a commanding voice – comes on help me Max.
Max and Annie helped Rick to stand up and get inside the gas station’s dinner.
Max easily found some water in the kitchen. Rick collapsed in the dinner’s floor.
-Here take the water – Annie said while giving Rick the water.
-I’m not gonna make it just let me here—Rick said and then drank a sip of water
-No I’m not leaving you – Annie answered.
Max tried to help Rick to get up but he collapsed to the floor.
-I don’t have more energy, just go please – Rick asked.
-No – Annie screamed while she started crying.
-Guys come, quickly – Jared voice interrupted.
-I’m going to see what he wants – Max said.
Max went to see what Jared wanted
-Just shoot me – Rick asked.
-No you’ll make it I know—Annie said screaming.
-You were a good friend, Annie maybe the only true friend I had.—Rick said closing his eyes.
-Rick? Rick!!? Rick!!!!!—Annie screamed crying.
She put her gun on his head.
-You can do it, you don’t want him to become do you?—Annie said to herself crying.
Meanwhile Outside.-What’s the problem Jared? – Max asked
Jared pointed to the forest at the other side of the road. Max looked and he saw some lights scouting the place.
-Do you think they’re friendly.—Jared asked nervously.
-Ready your gun – Max said.
-They’re getting closer—Jared warned.
-Hey guys we’re friendly – A man voice said.
-Just lower your guns.—another said.—we’re not a danger, we have kids.
