Another shout had him frantically looking around as he fought back as best he could, his arms covered in long ugly scratches now. He'd managed to grab a branch for a bit but it had broken over a crazy zombie's head and become useless.

Taking a deep breath and swallowing his fear, he made a break for where he heard the shout coming from. Even if he was crazy and hearing things, at least he hadn't given up without a fight. "Someone, anyone! If your there...HELP!"

But as the last word left his lips, one of them caught up to him and pulled him to the ground, knocking the wind out of him. All he could do now was cover his head with his arms and kick out with his legs, maybe breaking a few bones on the way.

He wondered what brains tasted like?

(Do your thing Saffron, and when Xander looks up, he can witness the awesome!)
