SARAH

Sarah opened her eyes.

Darkness. Darkness all around her. Only… no, wait. That wasn’t entirely true. It wasn’t totally dark. There was a little light flickering from somewhere. Candlelight, by the looks of things.

And she wasn’t looking up at the sky. She wasn’t looking up at the moon. At the stars. She was looking up at a ceiling. Some sort of ceiling. Some sort of roof.

Where was she?

How had she got here?

What was happening?

A sudden bolt of fear filled her chest and body. Dread. Pure dread.

Because she was on the ground.

She was on the ground, and her body was full of pain, and she’d fallen off a tree, and now she was being surrounded by infected.

They were approaching.

They were getting closer.

They were…

No. She wasn’t on the ground anymore. She was on… some kind of hard surface. And sure, her back still hurt. And yes, she could still smell a slight metallic tang to the air—the undeniable smell of blood. But she wasn’t outside. And she wasn’t surrounded by the infected.

So where was she?

She looked around and saw a woman standing beside her.

She was in a caravan. Some kind of small caravan, by the looks of things. A touring caravan. She was lying on the dining table. This woman, she stood there in the darkness, looking down at her. Holding some kind of gun. Staring at her. Intently.

Sarah felt her body freeze. She felt her stomach turn. This woman. This rifle. She was her prisoner. She was holding her prisoner. She needed to get out of here. She needed to find Keira. Needed to find Nisha. Needed to—

“You caused me a lot of trouble,” the woman said.

She walked over to Sarah. She was holding something. Holding it out to Sarah. It took Sarah a few seconds to realise what it was.

A bottle of water.

Sarah gulped. She could do with some water now. Her throat was sore and dry. But she didn’t feel keen about blindly trusting a stranger.

“Don’t worry,” the woman said. “It’s clean. Besides. If I’d wanted you dead or something, I’d’ve left you with the biters.”

Sarah supposed the woman had a point. It would be quite the display to go to the lengths she’d gone to—shooting down the infected—only to turn around and poison her with dodgy water now, wouldn’t it?

She sipped the water. It was cold. Fresh. Rather delightful. Her sips turned to gulps, and she couldn’t stop herself like a dog savaging a piece of chicken. She only stopped when the woman grabbed the bottle and yanked it away from her dry, cracked lips.

“That’s enough,” the woman said. “You’ll make yourself sick. And bottled water’s a damned premium supply now. Can’t just go racing through it like that.”

Sarah cleared her throat. The water, so cold, so fresh, it’d recharged her. It’d filled her with life again.

She tried to get off the table. But moving hurt her back. Sent shooting pains right down her spine.

“You were whinging about that back all the way I was carrying you,” the woman said.
