I blinked my eyes before I got up from the grounded rubble brushing my to see...a bat pony?

A child from the looks of it and she held a panicked look as I got up looking at her I looked right at her.

"Eat you? Kid do I even look like a zombie?" I asked...wait oh yeah she might not know what a human is.

She titled her head at my question.

"A zombie? What is that?" Giving a sigh I shook my head.

"Forget about it...where are your parents kid?" I asked the little girl as she was hiding behind a wooden box, she shook like a scared dog before pointing out to one of the boarded windows.

"Ma and Pa went out to work but they never came back when these monsters came back home," Oh boy I'm getting Clementine feels right now. "What are you?"

I turned to her before giving a sigh as I looked around seeing the zombies chew at a guard who screamed as his wing was ripped out before being eaten by a zombie. Backing away I turned to the kid.

"Right now I have a pulse and I know whats happening that makes me your best friend," I told her as she titled her head. God if it wasn't for the zombies that must be the cutest thing I've ever seen.

"Best friend? But I've just meet you and I don't know your name sir knight...well are you a knight? Their hasn't been a knight since princess luna was banished to the moon but-" She was cut off as a zombie arm came from one of the windows as she screamed.

"Damn it I knew one of them must have heard me crashing down! Kid we got to go!" She looked to me with fear.

"But my mommy and daddy," Moving down to her level I spoke with in a somewhat harsh tone.

"WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Grabbing her in my arms I moved my visor down as I kicked down the back door and began to run with the shocked child.

Running I held the kid close to me as she clung onto me for dear life.

She was scared and being taken by some guy who just picked her up from falling from ones roof probably has may be scared for ones life. Well maybe it was the zombies too...yeah it was the zombies.

Avoiding them as best I could unless I had to shoulder bash them aside or straight up run them over, to be honest in this city I felt like a mouse being chased by rats. If rats were slow and undead, running into a ally away I was meet by a dead end...

"Fuck me,"

Turning behind me the horde I had made where coming this way and I need to move fast looking around their was no fire escape, so that was a problem...

"Shitshitshitshitshitshit!" Kicking the trash aside I could now hear their moans coming as I panicked.

Looking down for anything that could be usefu-

A MAN HOLE!

YES!

It may stink but its the only card I have on the table and what I need to use to get out of this hell for now. One handing a 40 lb thing of iron was hard but I was able to move it far enough to move out the way and climb down.

"NO NOT THE DARK!" The kid screamed I turned to her.

"Sorry kid but its that or we die!" She looked at me with her golden eyes then to the horde before burying her head into my neck mail. Taking that as a yes I moved down before sealing the pot hole with the iron cover as I began to climb down the stairs.

(Soft music here)

When we finally made it down to the sewers I was meet with the good awful smell of shit and piss, not a present smell but one I would have to deal with. When I meet the stone bottom I looked around this place was a dark age style sewer with lanterns around giving off a green glow.

After looking around for a moment seeing that we were safe for now...

Putting the kid down she looked at me scared.

"Sorry kid," I spoke to the small bat pony she hand her hands together in fear. "I ain't going to hurt you lass otherwise I would have left you in that house,"

She gulped before nodding.

"Its OK Mr. knight you were scared and their were monsters and you did what you thought was right I should thank you Mr. Knight," She told me I just shook my head. "But Mr. knight those monsters...they surrounded Ma and Pa's work place will...will I ever see them again?"

'Oh fuck I'm not good with kids but I need to be honest with her'

Getting down on one knee I looked at her from behind my visor.

"Kid...Look...God how do I say this-"

"I'll never see ma and pa again," She starts to tear up.

FUCKFUCKFUCK!

I grab her shoulders as she started to cry.

"Hey Hey now easy there we don't know that they are 'eaten'," I told her as she sniffed as I looked at her.

"Look right now they would want you to make it out of this god forsaken city alive alright?" She gives a nodded. "Ok now you may not know me but I ain't the kind of guy that leaves some kid behind but if you don't do what I say when I say it you will die am I clear?"

"Yes sir Mr. Knight," I sighed.

"Get on my back,"

"Huh,"

I let her go as I pointed to my back.

"Get on I ain't carrying you though these swears nor am I going to let you walk though literal shit. Now climb on," I told her as she rounded my back she climbed on as she wrapped her arms around my neck but feeling her legs lock around my waist told me she was ready.

Slowly I rose to my height as she held on tighter but not enough to chock me.

"Now lets get the hell out of here,"
