gave up" Damon huffs, “we didn’t have much of a choice", the person laughs humourlessly “there’s always a choice, always choose to go out fighting, giving up is just stupid" after that none of us are sure what to say, “who are you, where are we going?” I ask cutting through the silence, “that will be revealed soon, but I can say we’re going somewhere safe, I know we just met but you’re just going to have to trust me, I mean what choice do you have?” I can’t see their face but I’m sure our saviour is smirking, they are dressed in dark clothes with a hood pulled low on their head and a dark mask covering most of their face, there is a small gap for their eyes, which seem to be a dark colour.

“Cute cat by the way" the person remarks, the cat meows in response, “we found it in a house we spent the night at" I smile, “have you chosen a name for it?” the person asks, “I don’t know I think Finnian it means warrior, he didn’t run from the zombies he stood to protect and warn us", “it suits him" the person responds using their spare hand to stroke the cat.

Eventually we reach the safe place the stranger mentioned, we are shocked to see such a place, there are high fences and gates surrounding the area, the stranger leaves the car and presses a buzzer, “Noah?” the voice asks, “no it’s your mother” the stranger laughs, they finally pull their hood back “of course it’s me, let me in" the buzzer buzzes once again and the gates open with a creak, the stranger now known as Noah drives inside his hair stands up from being covered by his hood, he pulls over again and the gates close once again, we all leave the car with our belongings, “welcome to the safe place!” Noah announces, he pulls back his mask to reveal a big grin and an incredibly handsome face that I have to pull my eyes away as to not be rude, his skin is olive and almost seems to glow, we take a look at where we’ve been brought, there is a large lush garden that seems to go on for miles, beautiful flowers and trees grow from the ground, with pebble covered paths weaving in between, up ahead is a large house that could be called a mansion it is so large, I admire my surroundings in amazement “are you sure we didn’t die?” I laugh, “this isn’t heaven darling, but it’s probably the next best thing" Noah smiles and extends his hand for me to take, I accept it gladly and he leads us towards the house where a group of people are waiting.

The group seems very diverse, a mix of men and women of very different nationalities, “you’re back!” exclaims the girl, “did you get anything?” a boy asks “a few things but we’ll have to change course next time as there’s no more on the west side" Noah replies, “Noah introduce us don’t be rude" an older kind looking woman scolds, “ah yes my apologies, I actually didn’t ask your names did I?” he says awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck, “I’m Sam" I smile, “Damon" Damon nods with his arms crossed, “I’m April" April smiles as friendly as she can, “I'm Sarah" smiles the older woman, “I'm Valerie” smiles the girls with thick ginger curls, “Michael” says a boy with dark skin in a quiet tone, “well come inside and we’ll show you around" Noah beckons, we all follow behind the new group of people, my wrist is grabbed suddenly “Sam I know this might look like a paradise but we should be careful, we don’t know these people" Damon warns wearing a frown, “don’t be so quick to judge, Noah saved us we should be open to meeting new people" I encourage, the look on his face doesn’t change “I don’t like that guy, something seems off he’s too perfect, and I don’t like how he’s all over you" I giggle, “oh Damon don’t be jealous he’s just being friendly, you’re the only one for me" I wink I link his arm with mine as we walk further into the large house together.

We’re led into a long hall with many doors on each side, the first door we enter is a large kitchen with marble counter tops, a large fridge and freezer, as well as cupboards filled with various cutlery and food, “as you can see this is the kitchen, Sarah is our cook but she also allows the rest of us to help with bigger meals" he motions to the older looking woman from earlier, her hair is blonde and sat just above her shoulders in a long bob, she smiles brightly “I’m always happy for help in the kitchen” she replies in a friendly tone, I notice April stare at her for a while with a warm expression, my heart aches realising she must remind her of their late mother, we move to the next door which reveals a large living room and flat screen adjacent to sofas and cushioned seats.

“This is the living room; we mostly use this for general relaxing and watching movies" Noah explains “won’t that attract the zombies?” Damon asks with scowl on his face, Noah smiles “we’re quite far from civilisation so zombies aren’t really a concern here, but yes you make a good point, we make sure the television isn’t too loud and if we ever are faced with unwanted visitors we are prepared for that, we’ll get into that soon", he then motions to a clear see-through door “and through here is the dining room" the room has a small chandelier attached to the ceiling, a long table surrounded with chairs and China plates and cutlery in the cabinets at the opposite end of the room, and beside another cabinet of
