I was still angry, I clenched my fist as I walked with the twins by my side. We haven't found a place to camp at and it was turning dark. I repeatedly muttered to myself before hearing a few low growls behind me. I swung my head around to see three of those undead bastards, I got one and each of the twins got the other two. I looked at them then spoke,
"We need to find somewhere to stay. There's a possibility that more of those things will be here."
We walked quicker whilst the twins talked and I spoke to myself quietly, and I soon spotted a clearing far ahead. I looked at the twins, then nodded toward it and we walked over to it. It would have to work for now, it was a small concrete clearing with moss and tall grass around it. There was also a few small drops of blood on the ground, I'm just gonna guess that the people here before us weren't as fortunate. We put our jackets below us and as the twins slept, I kept guard. I then woke Nico up since he had the next watch, so once he was up I laid down where he was before and shut my eyes, I still payed attention to the things I could hear, like the wind and the grass softly blowing. Over the night I wondered if the others were alright, then I clenched my hand and told myself in my head that it doesn't matter, and that they kicked us out and left us for dead. I then wondered what we would do in the morning since we only had a small amount of food that we could rationalize and only a small portion of water. I completely forgot about that once a specific sound filled my ears, it was squealing, almost as if it was a car, I would know since I used to be the driver when the group wasn't separated. The wheels of the car were screeching, then I heard it. The growling was growing closer and closer as the car grew louder. I woke up Luca and whispered as quick as possible, "Follow me." Then I grab my jacket and bag before dashing into the forest, pocketknife in hand. I paused for a moment to make sure the twins listened and surely, they were following behind me. I continue running through the forest, I made sure none of the undead ghouls came near me, and if they did my knife was through their head. I stopped at another clearing with a surprised look on my face, in my sight was a... train? The track was separated but could be fixed in at least twenty minutes. I made sure that the twins stayed low and watched over the clearing whilst I attempted to connect the tracks again as quickly as possible, I ended up successfully completing it and then I had Nico attempt to start up the train, He finished and before I stepped onto the train, a voice called out
"HEY! THERES PEOPLE OVER HERE!"
It was an unusual voice, I quickly stepped onto the train and began to start it. Footsteps and voices grew closer but luckily Luca closed the door before they could make it and the train started quickly moving down the tracks. I sat in one of the train cars and thought to myself, my heart practically beating out of my chest. The twins slept in a train car together and I thought to myself whilst in the front train car. It smelt of nature, which is just what we needed. After the twins woke up they searched every train car and we ended up with a few cans of food and bottles of water, They packed them into our bags,
  "You're both more quiet than usual, what's up with you two?"
I asked, since I noticed they weren't speaking as much. They both just looked at each-other then shrugged before going back to putting the things we found away. I looked at them with a look of suspicion on my face before just going back to the front cart of the train, I then called out to them
"We have about five minutes until we get there, load up the guns."
I then toss my bag over my shoulder and carve a small message onto the train floor with a pocket knife, it read out:
"If you're reading this, there's a lot of the undead. Good luck."
The train came to a halt and I opened the doors.
"Seems like somebody already cleared this out for us"
I spoke, the smell of rotting flesh and blood reeked and there was about 30 corpses already shot in the head and laying on the ground.
  "I just hope they won't get us next."
Nico spoke, clenching onto his bow and his arrows in his other hand. I looked over to Luca, who was still practicing small spells, but all he could do was make a stick levitate. His magic was still on break, we just had to pray that its break only lasted a bit longer, but until then we were on our own. I told the twins to search the corpses, they could have supplies in their clothes pockets. I took a small group of them and searched each pocket, eventually gather medicine, a pack of gum, and ammunition. I take the bag of supplies that the twins had and add it all in, tossing the bag over my shoulder.
"This place may be a dump, but it'll work. Let's go search the forest for a place to stay."
I spoke, guiding the twins into the forest.
