[ the adrenaline rush he gets from running out on the group wears off approximately five seconds after he hears a twig snap behind him. it sets all his nerves on edge, and he wheels around, holding his sword close to him. he stomped off in such a hurry that he wasn't really watching where he was going and now he's too far into the woods to remember the exact way back. it can't be that hard to find, he figures—but if something is behind him then he would probably want to make his way around it, right?
so he tries to do that and gets himself completely lost over the course of a good five or so minutes. and during those few minutes, he hears footsteps—and then a low groan that sends him running in the opposite direction. if there's anything he's learned during all this, it's that it's better to run than fight, because where there's one, there's another ten or twenty waiting in the wings. the trouble being that the woods are thick, so thick that it's dark, and before long he's gone in a circle and wound his way back to where he came from.
and right into the entire cluster of zombies that were following him.
back at the encampment, there are murmurs of concern and someone starts crying when the distant sound of gunshots. it's just fortunate that it's too far away for them to hear dave scream. ]
