After hearing some threatening words and minatory acts from the oldman and of course the Asian, the horde finally reached them. And it seems they wanted to fight with them in spite of the fact that they had a car. He didn't understand. The only choise he had was to stay there and fight beside of them.

Surrounding by walkers in the woods is as dangerous and dreadful as wrestling with devil in the hell. Walkers won't reach him until he has that legendary bow!! But there will be no arrows soon or later. So he decided to use an arrow as far as he could. Means that to bring out the arrow he used to kill one of them from his head and using it again for another walker! Or he could just use his tiny knife!

When he was killing walkers, he was thinking about the car and why they didn't escape from that mess. The old man shouted "over here". And over here means the top of the car. So they got there. Surrounding on a high place (not so high) is better than fighting on the ground. However the tiny knife was usefull there, at least. The car that they didn't use for escape was being used as their breastwork.

He was killing them one after the other. Just like the two guys with their huge machete. What if he had a machete too?! Or at least a bigger knife.

It was so obvious that they will be dead soon. They couldn't hold it anymore. It was a Chevrolet not a truck. There was not such a place for three person on its roof. Also they were three and walkers were coming from four sides.
They were spending their last moments of their lives on the top of Chevrolet for nothing. They could just leave at the first moments before the fight begins. These walkers killed his people and now they're killing him.
Wait...
What was that?

A @#$%ing loud sound was coming from somewhere. It was so loud that he couldn't understand where it comes from. That harsh sound was attracting walkers to it.

By following walkers way with his eyes, he reached a girl. No. Two girls. One of them was a little girl and other one with red hair was a bit older. It seems just a bit because she was short. They were on the top of a huge trailer. She thrown that sound maker or whatever it was somewhere farther from there.

Walkers were almost gone and the girl was coming to them. He was thinking about his life that was being saved because of her and she is a savior. When he was going to thank her, suddenly she slashed two tires!!
Two @#$% tires!
It seems noone cares about having a car there. Or they didn't know the advantages of a car in a zombie world. Or they just hate a Chevrolet.

Their savior became their some kind of malicious chief or something. she was talking to them. He didn't understand what the hell is she talking about. She told the Asian "you know what you did when you got that many walkers after you" what does it mean?

By looking at the two guys faces he got that they known each other and that's why they didn't leave there. They were waiting for her but it seems she isn't agree to come with them and also she is ordering them to "follow her rules"? Who the @#$% is she think she is? A leader?

She told them she can stay alive by herself alone so why they would follow her? It was clear that they won't be agree with her "rules".

Leo gazed at the punctured tires and was thinking about his questions in his mind. Who are they exactly? In this world being with a group is better than anything else. Why she is running from them and why the hell they are trying to be with her? It was just so ridiculous.

"what the hell is going on here??" he asked and he was waiting for their answers in a fizzing sound of the tires.

The number of that things was increasing in a second and they just were surrounded by deads and there was no way to escape anymore. The only option was to stay and fight but for how long? As Kibaro noticed their high number, he hesitated to waste any more bullet and save them for at least making an escape route if the fight was endless.

He saved the three magazines of bullet he had and took out his machete and started taking them down by slashes and swinging down the machete at their head. at least it was a relief they had a safe place to stay away from the crowd of deads and in the worst case, some people to die beside (was not sure about the new guy.) them and maybe a good reason to die for.

The three men were getting more tired moment by moment, machetes and knives getting duller. There was a sea of blood and corpse on the ground. The kibaro hands were red from blood and every limb of his body was in pain and all the faces were tired from the fight but the deads were still hungry. as they kept fighting, they saw a variety of deads. Some were too young to die and some were old as hell but they all had one goal and it was scary but not for him anymore.

As they were fighting like stupids with disappointment, they were ready for death. These walkers were the death himself and they were fighting it! It was the matter of time for them to die and well, you can't kill death. It was all the red-headed girl's fault. If they wouldn't attempt to fallow her or just leave at the first place they all would be safe or at least not less than that.

While fighting, kibaro was also looking around in hope to see the red-headed girl but saw something else instead. a little girl with bunny slippers? but what the hell is she doing out here? It was right above the big wracked trailer but why? He was looking for the red-headed girl but instead... He remembered he saw a kid travelling along with the red-headed girl there is no doubt it's her companion that's for sure because there will be no reason for this girl to be here.

At the same moment, he saw the little girl, continued fighting with some little more of surviving hope and maybe to see the red-headed girl. And he was right he finally managed to see the red hair girl with his giant rifle. He figured he should help her and in order to do he took one of his SMG magazines and the SMG to help and after a little bit of fighting, he realized something in the air. What was it? Well not sure but whatever it was it was making sound and distracting those @#$%ers out of here. So that was her plan. Kibaro found out he must stop shooting or just stop making any sound and let her do whatever she's planning. Even she was smart enough to avoid fighting such a crowd especially with that little girl following her but look at them what they did just to find her. There was nothing for them to help the plan to go better, they just waited around to see the result.

The girl plan was successful and well after some minutes like ten or less, there was nothing left of them except some blood and crops. The girl finally decided to show her face with her follower following her tail. Guess just saved their A@#.

The first thing she did was to make the car useless with eliminating the tiers. well, they didn't have enough gas to go anywhere with it not after chasing her in a long road, maybe for some miles but nothing more. and they also got rid of its noise for sure.

The girl was just complaining about the situation but it was all over and there was no need to mention why they were there. "well everything ok now. If you would've come with us in the first place, none of these would happen but you took them out'a here so we're even. he said to the red-headed girl.

the red-headed girl introduced herself and her little friend and asked their name. She was "Riley" and the other one name was "Serenity" and she said she's her little sister? odd to see but anyway he had to say his name so said with no feeling "name is kibaro" thanks to the id card he knew his name and not forgot that one.

Now that zombies are gone and the car is out of work looks like there should be no more problem hut no. There is just a new guy with them and it's insane. Without any think took out his machete and put it on the new guy throat. That was true he helped them with all of these but some of those things were also there because of him and it still was weird and hard to trust him so said kibaro "should we kill him? If we kill him here no one would found his body among these corpses and what if he want's our things?" since he said why don't we run with the car it was very likely to lead them toward his group (maybe) so again he asked "do you have a group? What is your plan?" and this time kibaro was serious about it and ready to kill him.

Voices are trying to kill Phill before dead ones do it, yeah, it's kinda stranger to get killed by noises in the head instead of a bite of a walker these days. He stopped working with his gun and continue hitting them in the head with his machete, which is going to be covered with their blood completely sooner or later.

After killing some of them he is trying to discover how long they can make it on the car because they are coming from every side, every d$%@ side, and there's no way out.

Phill is not spending the first situation like this, he got saved on worse days in his life maybe that's why he doesn't lose his hopes and continue fighting. Some minutes spent and he doesn't know if that's his own blood on his body or no. He doesn't know what he will see after that. Every one minute he checks that stranger boy to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid, he has to fight if he wants to see the next day, it's the only choice.

A little girl came out of an old trailer, what? Who is she?...oh god. No....no...
Suddenly he holds with head with his left hand and on the other hand, he has his machete holding it, voices in his head are going to be louder and louder. People screaming and babies are crying, gunshots, people running from something, bad memories that he can't forget in his life, again are trying to ruin him, in that community...something like camp for survivors...Phill saw himself walking around dead bodies with no hope and bloody face, with a revolver in his hand.

Wakes up from memories and come back to the present, but he just tried to do it, he can't. He can't see another kid getting killed by those zombies, he really cant this time.

Tears are coming down from his eyes again as he stops fighting and looking at the girl trying to help someone inside.
She is that girl when he noticed her, he felt better a bit, maybe she is trying to keep that kid safe, but Phill thinks that kid won't make it too long out here. That's why he is sad.

Clears his tears as nobody can notice that, continue fighting them until he sees that smart plan from that girl with red hair, they are gone now, so he finally knows what he was waiting for. Help arrived.

Phill noticed her, she finally trying to be a friend. "Phill" told them his name for the first time, hopes its a good start.
After he saw that his Japanese friend is trying to make sure the new guy won't make a problem, he just placed his hand on kibaro's left shoulder to tell him to "Chill out".
However, he totally knows that it's possible if he try to rob them. So he gives it to the group to make a decision about him.

---

She may have been offering her assistance, but there was nothing ‘friendly’ about this short, angry girl. She was a little four letter word starting with C, and her disdain for all of them seeped in every little glare of her steely grey eyes.

”Nah. Don’waste ye’strength.” She grumbled resentfully, waving a dismissive hand at Kibaro as he suggested killing the new guy. ”’E ain’t tryn’a @#$% us over. He’ jus’ @#$%in’ stupid. AIn’t so different from the lo’ of ya’.” She added, casually calling Phill and Kibaro ‘stupid’ without batting an eye.

She really didn’t have any intention of making friends with these people.
”Lemme’ guess, you was in a ‘old-out group, it go’ overran, an’ you go’ away, tha’it? Yeah, tha’it. Know why?” She glared at all three of them. ”Cause out ‘ere, big groups don’t last. Big groups is big targets. They’s clumsy an’ slow, and folk’ get picked off one a’time ‘till they ain’t go’ nothin’ lef’. You @#$%heads should know that by now.”

Relentlessly insulting. Her white-hot anger was gone now, so she wasn’t even speaking out of rage. She meant everything she said, it seemed. How were they possibly going to put up with the little brat bossing them around? Especially being so small - a tiny little ball of anger, hate and fire.

”Who gott’ map. Gimme.” She demanded, holding out an impatiently waving hand and snatching it from whoever handed it over. ”Any’a you’s from ‘round ‘ere? NAh, f’get it. I’m prolly’ th’only one knows ‘ow’a read a @#$%in’ map.”

Stepping over to the car, she spread it out onto the hood, looking the whole Pacific coastline. Turning, she looked around briefly and found an overturned highway sign - BAKERSFIELD 5 MI. - and using that, was able to point to the city on the map. Either digging out or being handed a red marker, she circled it. ”We’s ‘ere. Few kilo’ southlike. Old Man, where’s this ‘safe place’ s’posta’ be?”

Assuming Phill pointed to the place on the map that was his final destination, she circled it as well. ”’At’s a long walk.” She muttered, frowning. Not that it mattered - surely these fools would be dead long before they got even close - then she could go find somewhere safe for her and Serenity to hold up and -

She was thinking too far ahead.

Focusing her thoughts, Riley hunched over the map after taking another paranoid glance around to make sure they were still in relative safety.

With her finger, she traced an invisible line straight from their position to the general area Phill had showed her. The shortest distance between two points was a straight line, so that might have seemed the best route, but RIles shook her head. ”This won’t work. ‘At’s all desert. We’d be toast ‘fore we even got through Death Valley.” Go figure, a national park with a name like that.

Next, she used her finger to trace another invisible line up the long, yellow path that stretched up along the length of California, almost up the middle. She dragged her finger all the way up, into Washington, then Canada, and around in an arc to the East from there. ”This’s the best way. Anywhere there was never’ lotta’ people, not alotta’ walkers. Highways are clogged, but fairly safe t’walk like. But we stay away from cities. ’Specially big ones.” SHe pointed to San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, Portland, Seattle, and several others.

Next, she pointed to the length of their main road - Route 5 - between Bakersfield and the San Jose area. ”Now, th’ain’t much out ‘ere. Mostly cactus’n’@#$%. So we might - might be able t’find a ride once we get back to I-5 and take it in this area. But we get aroun’ ‘ere-” San Jose; ”We ditch the’car, and walk rest ‘the way.”

And lastly, she pointed from Bakersfield, directly west to where they would meet up with I-5. ”We’s goin’ ‘ere. We’ll camp out on th’way. Find a cave or somethin’. Any questions?”
She asked deliberately, in a tone of voice that said ’shut up and don’t ask questions you bumbling fools’.

Without giving the map back, Riley instead folded it up carefully and slipped it into one of her many pockets. Then, looking to the west in the direction they planned to go - it would be a trek through rivers and woods, skirting around a lake - she noticed something that caught her interest.

Just at the base of the off-ramp, there was a building that seemed to mark where the road ended and forest began. It was a shabby old outlet mall with a small, empty parking lot and four shops built in. Three of them - the sandwich shop, nail salon, and hair parlor - were of no interest. The fourth, however - the childrens’ clothing store - caught her eye. Glancing back to Serenity and her perfectly inappropriate[ attire, Riley hefted her pack and began walking down the ramp toward the little shop.

”But first, I got an errand t’run.”

it was obvious that he is the only stranger there. and it wasn't good. they're not gonna believe him. trustworthy is gone forever in that world. and it seems that they're very cautious guys. especially the redhead girl. he was thinking about their behavior when he tell them about the rest of his group members. and their plan to go Canada.

the walkers were almost gone. he was going to tell them about his group and Canada when he felt a bloody warm sharp thing on his throat. that was Asians machete. he knew this is gonna happen. seems they want to kill him for a little suspect. all he had done by now was to trust the others and for his bloody @#$% perfect chance, the trusted guys were the good guys. now he need them to trust him. maybe its simple for him to trust anyone he saw at the first moment but they are different from him and this is gonna be a little difficult.

a some kind of a depressed old American man with a long beard. but a good shooter. there is a hidden kindness in his eyes that can be appeared anytime. and Leo hopes kindness be appeared at this time!
an Asian young boy about 20. with white hair. Leo guesses that he can be from China or Korea or maybe Japan. he always had problem with distinction of far-east people. those people are same as each other in Leo's mind. but he thinks that the guy is from North Korea! he has a little strange acting but he's a good fighter and that's all this world needs.
the other one was a short redhead girl. a bloody crazy girl. acting very huffy like some dictators and also it seems she doesn't trust anyone and whatever you do for her you are an enemy for her! Leo expected to be suspicious by her not that Korean or whatever he is.
the last one was a kid. a little girl. when he looked at her he remembered his own group kids. he remembered their death.

what will happen to her? he was thinking to himself when he heard someone said big group.
yeah,
it was the dictator. she is making a story about Leo's group and pretending that she isn't agree with being with a group.
he was thinking she is saying a group won't last in this world and she wanna to make it to Canada by herself? oh, she is not alone. she has a protector. the little kid! how she is gonna get there and take care of her little sis alone? she told us to follow her because she is doing this for our safety?! No you idiot! she needs our help and she is just pretending that she can do it alone. or maybe she can do it alone. maybe she had a hard past or she just lost someone.
who knows.

he got drowned in his thoughts of having a group or not? follow her or look for his friends? and many questions like that. suddenly when he came to himself he got that he is one of them now! what about his friends? it's so @#$% obvious that the redhead wouldn't be agree to look for some bloody dead bodies. yes, she will call his friends dead bodies because she has no hope for them to be alive. and she doesn't care about them because she hates groups.but he couldn't leave his friends. they're all he had and he has(maybe).

he watched his fathers death in front of him. he watched his group being ruined by walkers and he did nothing to save one. he just ran. but not this time. he can never forgive himself for leaving them behind.
they were getting ready to go when he finally started:

"I'm not coming with you... . there are still some of my friends out there. somewhere close. they separated from us some minutes before the walkers attacked us. im gonna find them. they are good people. trust me... or... don't.
but they have many things, food water guns ammo. i don't wanna you to follow me. and i know you won't follow me. we were heading to Canada. all of us. and we know about that safe place. when i find them and im sure that i will find them im gonna catch you in the way. or at least i'll see you in Canada. i hope. ..."

he was going to look for them when he said

"ah... Riley ... you said the groups don't last, and they're targets. but ... look at us. you are making a group. i thought that you hate to be with a team. cause they're slow and ... whatever. maybe you say this is not a big group and not even a team, i can assure you that sooner or later there gonna be more members in the way. what everyone needs is a group. at least i know something about the advantages of group. im sure you will understand that. not today, not tomorrow, but a day will come that im gonna tell you i told you so... . hope to see you again. good luck!"

he started to go again but he returned one more time!!

"and ahh ... by the way ... i'm Leo!"

this time he started walking to the woods and he didn't know that he wanted them to come or not but a thing that he wanted was being with friends.

The small girl continues to watch the many people around her. She felt intimidated at first, but soon learned that Riley would protect her. She felt some comfort in that.

Serenity’s eyes trail the guns in their hands. The large weapons that makes an ear screeching sound. She didn’t like them but already they seemed like a new way of life. One she would have to adapt to from now on.

She continues to listen to their conversations, not feeling a need to contribute. She felt slightly dizzy, remembering those... zombies. They reminded her a lot of when her parents were attacked and eaten alive right before her eyes.

Serenity looks at the three people before her. She frowns, crossing her arms lightly. She didn’t like the arguing, it reminded her a lot of when her parents fought in the middle of the night.

She watched the way everyone looked at her. It was almost a sympathetic look, like they were feeling bad for her. She may be young, but she wasn’t stupid. She didn’t like feeling useless.

She watched the Leo character return to the woods. Serenity had traveled those woods. For sure now she knew that they would be infested with zombies.
