Ray hated being cornered, and she closed her eyes as the sound the dead made washed over her.  It was in that moment she realized that she was unlikely to make it out of this alive.  The dead closed in on her blocking her view of anything but them.  She stabbed her knife into the temple of the first creature.  It wasn't as easy as the movies made it look.  Knives didn't like bone.  You had to work at it to make it slide through an area that was not well protected.  She had to push with her free arm and one leg to pull the knife free.  The knife didn't escape unscathed either, she looked at it, and the tip had been broken off during the struggle.  

She saw another zombie fall and then heard a voice shouting asking if she was ok.  "Peachy.  Just out for a stroll amongst the local wildlife." She joked as she turned to the side where another was coming upon her.  She was fortunate that the positioning was right for an eye strike.  The knife slid in easily, but the serration caught as she tried to pull it out.  The zombie fell, taking the knife with it.  She was not happy that her next resort might have to be a loud weapon.   She took a quick look around and it seemed they were down to one.  She was about to ask her rescuer for help when she was forced back against the building as the last creature standing lunged at her.  

She pulled her leg up between them, and was managing to hold it off but just barely, it's teeth were snapping less than an inch from her face. She used the leverage the wall gave her and pushed it farther away wincing as its decaying hands grabbed at her pant leg.  "A little help please."  she said holding it away from herself.
