The sound off birds, rivers and crunching leaves on the the ground make it all seem impossible, it's makes me forget that the whole world is going under after all. I mean we'll always be able to survive for a long time, but... I always think. What will happens the day we've taken everything from every store we come past, when we've killed all the animals for their meat, what then? I've not always been this negative thinker, usually I'm the brightest person, but after all off this, I could say that I've changed a lot, I'm not who I used to be, and probably never will be.
I'm cute off by the sound off gun shoots, Nolan pulls me down on the ground next to the others. I look around confused to see anybody " What's going on?" I whisper in a low tone. " Survivors..." Kyrie mumbles. " I mean what the hell are they doing? They're going to draw a bunch off zombies here..." I snapped. " Let's just prey and hope they come from any other direction than behind us..." Zinnia mumbles. " We can't just let them shoot... they'll die, we have to make them stop.." I protest as I stand back up, but I'm quickly being pulled down by Nolan. " Didn't we agree on doing things together?" He said angrily looking me in the eyes.
" Yes... but we can't let him-..." I stop myself as the shooting comes to an end. I peek up from the rock to get a better view, but I can't see anything or anyone. I slowly stand. " Hey what are you doing?" Kyrie spat, still crouched down behind the rock.
" I'm gonna see what's going on..." I mumbles and before anyone could say otherwise I was walking towards where we lastly heard the sound. Zinnia grunted and shook her head before going after me, followed by the guys. " If we die, I blame you Tamika..." I roll my eyes as I pushed some leaves out off my sighs when we get there. We're too late. The mans lying on the ground with hungry zombies feasting off he's flesh. " Oh my god..." I whimper under my breath until the others witness the same as I did. My mouth drop open as I stand still, starting between the dead man and the zombies.
" w-we should get going... before there comes more of the dead walkers " Kyrie stutters as he pulled me along with them.
For a while we all stay quit without saying anything, shocked. Not only did he die, but he was being feasted on alive, and there was nothing we could do, we were too late. " We could've saved him..." I mumbles as I walk along the path when Nolan suddenly stops and I turn around looking at him confused. " What do you mean Tammy?" Zinnia question in a low tone. " If we had just run towards the man and told him that he would only draw the zombies if he made more sound... we could've killed them..." I whined. " Yeah, like you could've killed a zombie in a million years..." he laughed sadistic " even if you'd tried you would've been dead... let's face it, your just a confused child and who doesn't seem to care about what is going on... whom left her parents to die... and killed her own sister..." he shouted angrily. I could almost see the fog coming out off his nostrils and his face turning red. I cleared my throat as I walked closer to him, looking him directly in the eyes " My parent... they had a choice and they decided to stay there, even though they knew the truth..." I said angrily. " And off all things you could've brought up, you brought up my sister, why? Your killing me here Nolan! Killing me " I snapped. " The zombies are not what's going to kill me... you are!" I shouted in his face seeing him back up, as tears slowly left my eyes and rolled down my now red face. " You could never kill..." he mumbles. That was enough for me, pushed him back so he fell down and started punching, all I could see him as this dead Walker beneath me, I couldn't see Nolan, he was gone. I'm eventually being pulled back by Zinnia who drags me a few metes away and pulls me into a hug. I feel a flood off tears rolling down my cheeks.
Nolan on the other side was helped a bit up by Kyrie and wiped the blood away from his nose.
" She deserved it..." he spat simply receiving a glare from Kyrie. " Come'n man.. you went too far..." he said before helping him to stand up. Nolan simply shook his head and brushed off his clothes before picking up his bag. " Why can't you just admit you like her..." he said in a low tone so that me and Zinnia wouldn't hear. Nolan quickly went silent turning to his Steph brother. Giving a angry look before starting to walk without another words.
I slowly pull away from Zinnia, clearing my throat and wiping away my tears " I'm sorry..." I whispered in a low tone as I pick up my bag. Zinnia shook her head as she wrapped an arm around me and pulled me in whilst we asked some meters behind the boys " Hey! You've said enough sorry... stop saying that " she's said seriously but calmly. I simply looked at her and smiled softly.
We walked for a while until we eventually found this little hidden underground house, we had no else to stay for the night, and even so me and Nolan couldn't stand each other it was the only safe place for us. It wasn't much in it, just 2 double beds, a small kitchen, a place to eat and some candles to light the place. It was a bit cozy, but the thought off Nolan being in the same room as me killed Me. So I went early to bed, trying to forget.
