Those things are everywhere now, it's like the winter kept them at bay, but now it's warmed up they are out in earnest, they are hunting us, our group has officially split up, Matt, Tara, Crystal, Lilla, Wes, Skyler and Myself Have gone one way while the others have gone off west we are heading south, all the way to Kent.......
"how are we supposed to get out of London with these things blocking every way?" Matt asked the group while we watched the shambling bodies passing along the front of the tunnel, There we a scattering of shrugs between us, Crystal was some way off to the side of us, trying to spot a way around without using the tunnel, I took a look through the binoculars and saw no possible path, It seemed we would have to walk all the way around, which would take some time and would require finding a bridge that had none of the undead upon it, which so far had proven impossible.
Four hours later we are walking along the Thames, Crystal had returned proclaiming she couldn't find a way past them without us being attacked, so we decided to try our luck on finding a bridge safe enough to pass, London is a warren of Alleyways and roads, now being stalked by the people who once called this place home, Unfortunately for us, none of us know the routes that are best suited to finding a way across the river, Wes has been looking for a working vehicle big enough to get through them, so far the most he found was a small car that only seated two, so it was kind of useless to a group of seven, We are going to need to rest up soon, everyone feet are aching, I believe we are near a train station, maybe we can find somewhere to crash in there.....
It's heating up in the evenings now, making it easier for us to move without the multiple layers we were wearing before, at this moment we are currently resting in a train carriage, we decided on this while looking for somewhere last night, once everyone is up we are going to move on by walking down the track, which has it's own undead free bridge across the water, Crystal and i were up earliest this morning and were sat on the bridge watching the sun rise over the dead city..
"Do you think thing's will ever be the same?" I asked, sitting down next to her, spotting a group of undead ripping into a body. "Maybe, but not for a very long time, and not while those things are still walking around." she said, barely hiding her disgust for them. "And even then they'll always be feared, The undead now walk among us, who knows what else will happen." I looked side long at Her as she said this, tears glittered in Her eyes and I knew what she was thinking, the same as we were all thinking, that all of our loved ones were dead and were now these creatures, devoid of emotion, memory and life, the worst prison any of us could imagine. I wrapped an arm around her to comfort her. "We don't know how bad the south is yet, Maybe they had time to prepare? Maybe when we get there everything will be fine." It was her turn to look at me side on "yeah, Maybe it will." We sat watching the sun hit the windows of the city, the light making it look like the city was on fire, Like it was being cleansed of the darkness that had befallen it, We waited a full hour before heading back to the others, who had all woken up and packed, I still had my trusty bat, I had used it a lot recently, it was stained which the black blood of the dead, Crystal went about packing her gear as i slid my backpack on and spoke to Skyler and Matt about our route, We agreed to head all the way along the tracks until we needed to stop for supplies, Which seeing as we were almost out of food wouldn't be long, We set off as soon as we had eaten and had a drink.
We have been walking for miles now, We left London behind with lightened hearts, We haven't seen any of the dead in a long while and it's almost like we are all on a hike, albeit a heavily armed hike and we are all covered in various degrees of mud and blood, Matt decided to lead the way, which is good as he's been quiet the last few days, since the splitting of the group we've all been in our own little worlds most of the time, trying to work out if we made the right choice.
