Addelyn woke up as the sun began to shine daggers into her eyes. She opened her eyes reluctantly, still feeling groggy and worn down. She slowly sat up, using her arm to hold her up, and looked down at Zane, still breathing deeply in his sleep. Her head had been laying on his chest and she was surprised by her own actions. She began pulling herself off the bed, though she stopped suddenly, the sound of banging begninning quietly. Her eyes went wide as she listened once more, the noise more distinct now. She turned around, shaking Zane urgently, "Zane....something is wrong...wake up" she said in a hushed whisper. Zane pushed her away and rolled over still sleeping. She slapped him against his arm and he sat up suddenly, "Are you out of your mind Addy!" She brought her finger to her mouth and shushed him, "I think someone is downstairs...can you go check?" She watched as Zane got up quickly, grabbing his gun and dashed out only to return a minute later, an urgency in his step. He grabbed her arm tightly, bringing her to the window, "There are zombies downstairs. And more than enough that I wouldn't want to waste my bullets on them. We need to jump from here and run from the house. Okay?" Addelyn nodded her head, though her mind screamed at the thought of jumping of a roof. She grabbed her crossbow as Zane opened the window, and as he finished she shuffled out of the window and onto the roof a foot below. She sat there, shaking, as Zane came through and jumped first, showing her what to do. She looked down, seeing his body below her, telling her to come. She shook her head, scared, and watched as Zane held his arms out for her and she jumped into them, both of them landing on the ground with a loud thud.<br/><br/>Zane stood up quickly and held out his arm for Addelyn, which she took, pulling herself up with his help. She looked over the corner of the house and saw the zombies, five standing in the yard outside of the house. She felt Zane pull her away and they made their way back into the city.<br/><br/>They walked quickly, careful not to make noise, though in a rush to make it to the car in a short period of time. "At least the zombies have been staying at bay" she whispered, "I just wonder where they are I guess"  "I think it's better this way" he said and she nodded her head. Zane slowed and she stayed behind him as he neared a corner and poked his head around, looking for zombies as he always did now when they rounded a corner or passed an intersection. He motioned for her to follow and as she stepped to the new street she recognized her car, though barely recognizable with only the shell left; the tires had been stripped, the hood and trunk were exposed, and it was obvious their food had been taken. She stayed silent and still as she looked at her car, Zane a few feet ahead of her inspecting it. "That....was an expensive car" she said quietly, looking at the mess. "We shouldn't have just left it here. Look what you did Zane. We should have just waited and then got back into the car" She turned away from him angrily, brushed her hand through her hair, the strands feeling oily on her fingers. "I cannot believe this."<br/><br/>((sorry if it sucks...reading books messes me up :/ ))
