[R/D]chapter eighteen: the flock

(Y/n) POV, 9 days before Toby~~~~~~~~~

My head is throbbing....why am I in so much pain? I can't breathe, it hurts...cher...where am i?

"Ah....fuck.."
I mumble, opening my eyes and trying to stand up, I look around and immediately stop, I'm in the truck cher was driving...Its upside down, and cher isnt anywhere to be seen.

Before I can comprehend what's going on, a loud shriek puts me out of my thoughts.

"...clawed."
I mumble, I open the glove box and my knife falls out, the windows kicked in, cher must be out there, I'll find her and we'll make it...I need to find her.

I wait until I dont hear the clawed, and crawl out the window.

"Cher...? Hello?? Are you nearby still??"
I call out, I'm worried..what if she flew out the window while we were crashing? Oh god, what if one of Los muertos got her?!

"Cher?! Please, I'm...I'm scared!"
I yell, it feels like the world is fading, the only thing I've had my entire life could be gone...

"FOR GODS SAKE, ANSWER ME!!!"
I scream at the top of my lungs, then fall to my knees, listening to the horrible silence, until a low growl breaks it.

...I dont think the clawed left.

A large weight tackles me to the floor, and the all too familiar sounds of a hungry muertos fills my ears, I flip sides to face it, and it just tackles me to my back.

"No...no no no...FUCKING SHIT, SOMEONE HELP!!"
I scream, trying to kick the clawed off, but I'm not strong enough...its a full grown one, it weighs twice as much as me, I cant lift that.

my arms slowly start to give out and the clawed gets ready to strike, I close my eyes and prepare for death...but all that comes Is the sounds of something hitting the floor.

I open my eyes and see Cher, holding a giant, bloody rock, panting and sweating heavily.

"..cher?"
I mumble, cher drops the rock and tackles me in a hug, sobbing.

"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I wouldn't stop, I got mad and...fuck, i almost...."
Cher stops talking and gets up, pulling me up with her.

"We....we need to go...I have something to tell you, but we need to be somewhere we know we'll be safe at."
Cher says, grabbing my hand, we walk off into the woods.

I couldve sworn I saw her drop that letter...I wonder what was in it that was so important.

Flashback end~~~~~~~~~~~

We're back on the road, usually we talk or something, but its been dead silent since we woke up, I'm walking with a rope in my hands, it has the man tied up on it, well, his hands at least.

"...you guys don't talk much, do you?"
The man says in a dull tone.

"Well we used to, then, and you're never gonna believe this, an asshole and his dumbass sidekick kidnapped a very important person to us! shocking, right?"
Jack says sarcastically.

"...I already hate you."
The man says.

"How much longer Jack?"
I ask, Jack looks at a map he stole from the guy, he said he took it when he knocked him out...the second Time, I think the first was just pointless.

"We'll be there in Half an hour."
Jack says, Noah quickens his pace to match mine, nuzzling his head on my neck and purring, I smile at his attempt to cheer me up.

"Thanks, Noah, I needed that."
I say, petting Noah's head, the man eyes me and Noah.

"So...you're dating a corpse?"
The man asks, Noah jumps up and looks at him, then me.

"What? You got it wrong, Noah's a really good friend, he saved me when we met."
I explain, The man noticeably relaxes, and Noah's puppy grin stops.

"So, what's your plan after finding your friend? Gonna kill me? Itd be better than you guys, hell, Itd be better than dealing with Ollie or Sam if I get rescued!"
The man says.

"Who are they?"
I ask...maybe I can try to make friends with this asshole, then I can get info and beat his ass once i dont need him.

"Fuck it, I'm almost completely sure you kids are gonna kill me soon, so why not screw over the town that sent me here....Ollie is my little brother, and Sam's his weird friend."
The man says.

"Weird? How?"
I ask.

"Kid isnt like everyone else nowadays, hes a coward, he cant shoot a gun, cant hold a weapon, cant even be near a walking corpse without freaking out or crying."
The man says.

"...that's like Toby, when I met him, he didnt know how to defend himself, he screamed when Los muertos came into the building we were in, that's why he was with me, I told him I'd protect him, teach him how to survive."
I say, the man stares at me in wonder.

"Fuck....if you kids don't kill me, I'm gonna take a hot bath and relax, all this excitement is hell on my muscles."
The man says, chuckling a little.

"Is that it?"
I ask, pointing to the spikey wall just across the town, it's pretty noticable.

"Yep, that's where Toby is."
Jack says.

"The...the flock...that's the fucking flock..!"
The man mumbles, eyes wide.

"The what?"
I mumble, staring at him, he points towards a far off place, it looks like trees, but...its moving.

"What the fuck is that?"
Jack asks.

"Its a giant horde of the walking corpses, we've seen them ever since the wall was built, but...they've never gone through our town, just fields and woods...somethings wrong..."
The man says, before turning to me.

"Kid, If you want to save your friend, you sure as hell better do it quick..."
The man says.

"Or what?"
I ask.

"...or you wont make it to him before the flock does....its the end."
The man mumbles.

"The end of...?"
Jack asks.

"Of the district."
The man says.

"We need to start running! We have to find Toby before those muertos get to your wall!"
I yell.

"Oliver...he'll try to protect Sam, he'll get himself killed...let's fucking go already!!"
The man shouts.

...i hate today.
