Still Living

Chapter 7

Andre came out with bags of rifles and shotguns. Camilla heard him and walked out of a building. Andre was looking around for them when the saw Camilla.

"Where the f**k did you go?", He asked quietly.

"Well, while we were waiting for you, we kind of went exploring. We found a building we can spend the night in," she said, pointing to the building across the police station.

"Is it cleaned out?", Andre asked.

Camilla nodded her head. They went in the building and up to the top floor. It was an apartment building, so when Camilla opened the door, chairs and couches were still there. They walked in. Andre looked around. He put the guns he found on the couch, following Camilla to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Ray and Jordan were hanging out. Jordan was looking the refrigerator, and Ray was sitting at a booth table, looking more at the camera's photos. He heard Camilla and Andre's footsteps. He looked up, putting the camera down. Jordan looked over her shoulder and closed the refrigerator.

Jordan sat next to Ray. Camilla and Andre sat across from them.

"So, what did you find, dad?", Jordan asked.

Andre looked back at the rifles and shotguns that were in the bag, "Well, I found rifles and shotguns, along with their ammunition," he explained.

Jordan went over to the bag and brought it over to the table. Andre looked at his pistol. He handed it to Ray

He looked at Andre.

"Take it. It'll do you better than that knife you have there," he said.

Ray took the gun and examined it. Andre took off the thigh pistol holster. He gave it to him. Ray took it and strapped it around his thigh. He looked at the black holster. He took the pistol and slide it in the holster. It was snug.

He smiled and and looked at Andre as it saying "thank you". Andre smiled and also and nodded his head, saying "you're welcome".

Later that night, Andre was looking around the apartment. He looked in cabinets, rooms, and searched for food. He found some canned green beans. He four and put them on the table. They all got their cans.

He searched for a can opener. He opened all of their can.

Ray looked at the beans. He smelled it. A was raw, but it wasn't meat. Everyone else was eating their green beans. He took a deep breath and ate a green bean. The crunching was heard. He held the urge to spit it out.

Andre swallowed the mouthful of green beans.

"You haven't had green beans in a while, have you?", Andre asked.

Ray nodded. He looked out the window. He saw some deer, rabbits, mice. Then he looked back at his beans. He sighed and ate all the green beans. He still hungry but he held back the urge to catch on of those animals.

Night has fallen. Camilla and Jordan were sleeping on the couch, their heads on the pillow. Andre was on the chair, his legs kicked on the arm rests. Ray had his back pack on the ground. He waited for them to fall asleep. He was laying his back on his back pack. He waited until it okay to go. He then heard snoring from all three people.

Ray stood up quietly, grabbing his knife. He creeped to the door and slowly opened it. He went out and got to the bottom of the apartment building. He poked his head out the door to see if any of the walkers were out there. There were none, thankfully.

It was pretty dark. Then, his ears perked up. He heard the sound of a hoof. It sounded like it went into the forest. Ray followed the sound.

He came to a pond. The thing that made that sound was a deer. It was drinking water. It flocked its ear. Ray tried to sneak up to it. It did not know that he was behind it. He had his knife in hand. He got close. He grabbed the doe. It screamed and ran, trying to jerk him off her.

He held his grip. He stabbed the knife through the neck. The deer stopped and fell on its side, suffocating. Ray got his knees and stabbed his knife and killed it.

He breathed heavily, trying to catch his breath. He cut a piece of meat off the the deer. He took a bite. He rolled his eyes back, eyelids fluttering. His hunger was extinguished. He went over to the lake to clean himself.

He stood be up and went back to the apartment building. He was tired. He laid his head on the wall and fell asleep.
