We followed the two towards the compound that had been set up for the survivors. John and Chod kept up a steady pace, talking quietly to each other as we walked. Every now and then they would glance back at me and Francis and keep talking to each other. I looked over to where Bill was and raised an eyebrow at him. He just shook his head and gave me a look that said to keep my mouth shut. Nibbling on my bottom lip, I just moved closer to Francis. He shot me a sideways look and wrapped a protective arm around me. I stiffened at first, but slowly I felt myself relaxing in to his embrace. “Francis?” I whispered. “Yeah Kitten?” He replied softly. I slowed my pace, looking over to Louis and Bill.

“Why are you guys trying to keep me away from them?” I asked them. The glanced away, shuffling their feet and shrugging. “Kitten, it looks like I have to be the one to tell you. Not many females have survived the Infection. It’s mostly men who made it.” Francis explained to me. I could feel my jaw drop slightly. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? What are they going to do to me?” I asked, biting my bottom lip so hard I felt blood.

“Don’t worry girl, we promised we wouldn’t let anything happen to you and we plan on keeping that promise. If they try anything funny, we will leave and do what it takes to get out.” Bill sighed, patting me on the back.

I nodded and clung to Francis’ hand tighter. I don’t know when it had happened, but I knew that at some point since I had joined the men, I had fallen for him. “Keep up!” Chod called back to us. “We’re coming as fast as we feel like. It’s not like the damn place is going to up and move.” Bill barked at him, lighting another cigarette.  I giggled softly as John smirked at Chod. Out of the two, I like him the best so far, but that wasn’t much for him.  “There it is, home base.” John said grinning back at me. I just nodded at him and stayed with the guys.  Walking up to the large makeshift gate, John pounded on it, calling out as he did so.  A small opening appeared in it and a set of eyes looked out. “John?” A voiced asked. “It’s me, and some more survivors, three men and a little lady.” He replied. “Step back then.”

The opening shut and the gate swung open. Motioning for us to follow them, they led the way in. Louis positioned himself on my right as Francis stepped in front of me and Bill took the left. I just held Bill’s hand for a moment before he smiled at me gently. I knew I was safe with them. “Where is the girl?” A deep voice asked. I could hear Chod’s voice, slick as a serpent. “She’s behind them, their like her little guard dogs.” I wanted to strangle him. “Move out of my way, I won’t hurt her, but I do want to see what she looks like.” The voice commanded.  “Fine, but she stays close to us.” Francis shot back.

I heard a laugh that reminded me of thunder in summer. “Fine, I just want to see what she looks like.”  He moved to the side and a man that could have thrown a car stepped into view. I had to repress a shudder at his face. It looked as though he had tried to fight a frying pan and lost. His nose was squished and crooked, his lips looked like they had been stung by a bee, and his eyes were tiny and beady like a rat’s would be. None the less, the other moved out of his way.

“So this is the girl that you are talking about. Pretty little thing isn’t she? How old are you?” He asked me. I tightened my jaw and spoke through clenched teeth. “I’m nineteen. My name is Zoey, not girl.” I said, anger welling inside of me. He let out that deep chuckle and squinted his beady little eyes at me. “I like her already, she has spirit. I had a mare like you once Zoey. She was beautiful, and stubborn. I had to break her spirit, just like I’m going to have to break yours. You see, my men haven’t seen a girl in a long time, so I promised that once we found one, they could have her after me. Grab her, and throw the others in the barn, we can’t have anyone getting in our way now can we?” He commanded. I screamed as a group of men threw themselves at us.
