Sarfine stumbled through the dark tunnels with a distant but terrified look in her eyes. Her face was paler than normal and tears slowly ran down her cheeks as she walked. Her machete was gripped tight in her shaking hand, dark blood starting dry on the sharp edge. She was covered in blood herself. Looking at her you would have thought the blood was her own, but it actually belonged to the companions that she had been traveling with only hours before.  
“Gone..gone…All of them..gone” She muttered to herself, walking half dazed through water. 

[i]Everything had been peaceful when she first woke up this morning, at least for the first 5 seconds her eyes had been open. Her the small group of 5 had made camp in an auto garage a day and half beforehand. All had been going well for them. They had been staying quiet, were somewhat stocked on food, and foolishly enough were feeling comfortable in their location. It would have stayed like that had a man named Thomas not been hiding the fact that he had been bitten the day they had arrived. He and his wife had kept to themselves for most of the time they spent in the garage, so no one really took notice to the fact that he was weak and sweating all over. Most of them were exhausted from lack of sleep and little food anyway, which helped him hide his symptoms even more. He must have turned while they were all asleep. His wife had been the first victim, he’d ripped her throat out almost completely, muffling any scream that she tried to get out before succumbing to death.  The next victim had been Alex, who was bit in face while he slept. His screams were what woke everyone and caused chaos to fall all around them. 

Alex’s girlfriend woke quickly and was able to shoot Thomas in the head, but by the time she had got off the shot and realized what had happened to her boyfriend, Thomas’s now undead wife had already come up behind the woman with her teeth bared. Sarafine had woken and jumped into action when she heard the screaming. She already had her machete in hand when she ran up to see Alex’s girlfriend struggling with the freshly turned walker. There was no hesitation when she brought the machete down on the zombie’s head, instantly causing it to stop moving. Sara had hoped she had gotten there in time to save the other woman, but the bite on her wrist quickly proved that thought to be wrong. She tried to help both of them, but Alex had pushed her away with a blood hand and yelled that they were lost causes. By this time they could hear more walkers starting to bang on the front of the garage. More than likely the sounds of screaming and the gun shot had attracted them. After some arguing, both of her bitten companions told her to leave. They kicked a bag of their stuff towards her, but asked that they keep the gun so they could take care of themselves instead of turning. As much as it pained Sara to leave them walked out a few moments later, tears in her eyes and two small extra bags thrown over her should from her fallen friends.

 She escaped through the side door of the garage. Most of the walkers were at the front of the building and a gun shot that went off as she exited helped that even more so. The streets were still filled with walkers and she was never going to get away without being quickly overcome by them. Looking around for alternate options, she noticed the opening of a curb drain on the side walk to the left of the door she had just exited. Sara hesitated while looking at it, unsure if that was really going to be wise. She would at least be able to hide there until the walkers dispersed a little. The second gun shot from inside the garage jolted her into action. She ran up and threw her bags inside the opening of the sidewalk. Thankfully she was a smaller girl and was easily able to slip through the opening to land in ankle deep water. [/i]

“What now?” Sarafine thought to herself. She had nowhere to go and no one but herself now. The thought of that made sadness run through her. To be alone in what was the world now was a horrible thing to her. It felt like she had been walking for hours, though in reality she hadn’t really been walking for too long. She had waited for the better part of 3 hours at the entrance of the drain she had come through, but the walkers hadn’t even started to disperse yet. Instead, she decided she would walk the tunnel system. There was bound to be another exit somewhere that was much safer than where she was currently at. It was simply just a matter of finding it.
