Addelyn found Zane's hand and intertwined her fingers into his and squeezed. She closed the distance between them and laid her head against his shoulder. Zane felt his body vibrate as he agreed with the group and they slowly followed them through the door. She looked up at him and very quietly whispered, "This doesn't feel right...I'm not sure about this" she mentioned before sitting down on the floor in a large circle. She saw Zane slightly nod his head in her direction and she hoped this was an agreement. One of the men was bulky and he offered her cooked meat though she shook her head, "I don't eat meat...sorry" The man rolled his eyes at her and walked away, obviously not caring. He turned around, carrying a tin can of food, "..or anything that's from a can" she told him. His eyes narrowed at her, "Oh I'm sorry Mrs. Pampered. I forgot to buy my organic supplies before we got overrun by zombies!" He yelled at her, his voice deep and raspy. She saw as Zane opened his mouth to speak, defending her, though she touched his shoulder softly and shook her head. The man slightly chuckled and bumped his elbow into the second man's side, "Oh look at that. Like a little whipped dog" they laughed. Addelyn dismissed it, "Thanks but no thanks." She stood up and began walking out, picking up her pace to increase the distance between them and the group. They neared the front door and she heard Zane speak, "You love meat" he smiled, "I know...I just...it didn't feel right. I won't trust my food with just anyone." Zane nodded, "You don't need to explain. I understand."<br/><br/>Addelyn stayed behind as Zane slightly pushed open the front door, looking outside before they could go out. He motioned his hand to her that it was clear and she followed him outside and they began to walk down the road. Their steps were silent against the black asphalt. Addelyn looked around, the town already in the slow process of rotting; the streets were empty and deadly silent, some buildings were blackened by fire and cars surrounded them abandoned.<span style="font-style: italic">All this in only a matter of days</span>she thought. She heard running steps behind her and both her and Zane turned around quickly, their weapons drawn. She saw the woman and the young girl trailing behind her, holding hands as they ran towards them. Addelyn lowered her weapon as they made the final leg to them and approached them out of breath, "We'd like to come with you." Addelyn looked at Zane who spoke, "We only have a two seated car, but we can walk with you" and Addelyn followed with, "But anything to get you away from those men" The woman nodded her head and thanked them.<br/><br/>They walked on at a fast pace, though making sure to keep quiet. Addelyn sighed, her feet aching and she yearned for her couch, "I miss my bed already." She said quietly, looking up at Zane. He looked back, though stayed quiet, obviously unsure of what to say. She whispered to him, "I think we should make noise near the car. Get the zombies to a different area and then make a dash for the car."  "That sounds good." He answered, his voice hushed.<br/><br/>They turned a corner, and stopped suddenly, the sight of a zombie thirty feet away stopping them in their tracks. The creature was bent down over a body, his snarls echoing off the tall buildings around them. His hands were digging into the body, pulling at the flesh and the organs deep inside and shoving them into his already bloody mouth. The little girl yelped in fear and the zombie looked up and began the walk to approach them. "You need to shoot" Zane whispered and she brought up her weapon and shot at it, missing. She shot again, her heart beating fast as it neared the group. She missed again and she back away, frightened. She heard a gun fire and the zombie fell dead. "We're probably going to want to run now" She heard Zane say and she looked at him. The sound of gurgling growls filled the streets as he stopped talking; the zombies crawling out from the depths of alleys and buildings, exposing themselves. "Run!" He screamed and they took off, their feet beating loud against the asphalt. She ran quickly, the pounding of their feet and their loud breathing only bringing about more zombies hidden in the city. Addelyn turned around, seeing the woman and girl had fallen behind. She saw them get over taken, their screams taking over her ears as the zombies bit into their flesh. They continued running, the sight of woods nearing, though her lungs screamed in pain, the run an obvious two miles. They slowed down to a walk, noticing the silent streets once more. She pointed to the wooded area and talking, her words cut between her heavy breaths, "I think...we...should hide..in...there....it's a lot...of........woods"<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&amp;q=winchester+police+station&amp;fb=1&amp;gl=us&amp;hq=winchester+police+station&amp;cid=0,0,16712784285725392417&amp;ei=Z4YhUJvROYrn0QGB04GgBQ&amp;ved=0CNABEPwSMAA">Police Station</a><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Tennyson+Avenue,+Winchester,+VA&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;hl=en">Where we are</a>
