plagued ; chapter 1

Trixina panted heavily. She risked a glance over her shoulder.
She couldn't seen the three Plagueds, but she could see the undergrowth crashing as they ran through it. She kept running, her legs aching.
She'd lost track of how much time had passed since she'd first caught sight of their pursuit, and she didn't know how long it would be until her legs would give way beneath her.
Then she reached a dead end; a wall blocked her path.
She turned, horrified, but at that moment..
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Three gunshots sounded, and the zombies dropped to the ground.
Trixy blinked.
Then the shape of a human appeared in the shadows. A man, by the looks of it.
He was holding a pistol, Trixy noticed, as he studied the bodies for signs of life.
Trixy stared at him, "Thanks for that."
He glanced at her, "You're lucky to be alive, you know," He said sharpl, "Have any food, or bullets?"
Trixy looked through her bag; "I suppose i do owe you.. Here," She added, finding half a loaf of bread.
She handed it to him, and he took it.
He shoved it into his bag.
"I'm Trixina, by the way," Trixy said, discomforted by the silence, "You can call me Trixy."
