LENA

As the afternoon passed, Lena couldn’t help but feel close to Fleur. She couldn’t help but think about the words she had said. A crush? A feeling? Was it all too much to feel for someone, when life could be taken away so quickly?

She buried her thoughts and focused on the journey ahead.

“I think we should try to look for a car again if the coast looks clear,” Lena insisted, her eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of danger.

“As long as we’re not jumping into a car while being chased by a horde of zombies, I’m okay with it,” Fleur replied, a teasing glint in her eyes that momentarily lightened the heavy atmosphere.

“Well, maybe try not to venture into any doctors' offices this time,” Lena shot back with a playful grin.

“Deal.”

Eventually the path led to a road, and the road led to an old gas station. But it didn’t take long to see there were no signs of cars, fuel or much left at all.

“Well, I guess we’ll just be walking for a while longer,” Lena sighed, a hint of frustration creeping into her voice. She surveyed the barren lot, the remnants of a once-bustling place now eerily quiet. The sun beat down on them, and the weight of their situation felt heavier than ever.

Fleur placed a reassuring hand on Lena’s shoulder, grounding her. “We’ve come this far. We’ll keep moving, just like we always do,” she said, her voice steady. That’s when Lena noticed something.

It was a human, a woman. She seemed normal. But something about her made Lena feel uneasy.

“Hey. Is that a person over there?” Fleur squinted into the distance, her voice tinged with suspicion.

“I think so. We should try to avoid her,” Lena replied cautiously, scanning the treeline. “People can be just as harmful as the dead, if not worse.”

“What if she can point us towards the lab?” Fleur’s mind was already racing through possibilities.

“You want to trust a stranger? She might also be ready to ambush us and take us for all we have. Or kill us!” Lena shot her a skeptical glance.

“She’s alone. And she doesn’t seem to be turned.” Fleur was insistent, her gut telling her something different.

Lena sighed. “If you insist, but I’d say avoid her and keep moving.”

The woman was waving at them now, but something felt off. They walked toward her cautiously, only to hear the unmistakable sound of a gun loading behind them. They were surrounded.

“Fuck. I fucking knew it,” Lena muttered under her breath, eyes narrowing.

“Maybe they can be reasoned with,” Fleur offered, though her voice wavered.

“We better hope so.” Lena gritted her teeth, sizing up the situation.

There were two men flanking them, each wielding knives, while the one with the gun, clearly their leader, stood ahead. His presence was intimidating, but Lena’s trained eyes quickly assessed him. He hadn’t eaten well in a long time, and the same could be said for his companions. They looked like the type who’d been cast out of whatever community
