This was the first time in a long time he's had to sleep by himself, without (Y/N) either being tucked right under him or laying somewhere close enough he could grab her. Now that she wasn't there, he noticed that he was a light sleeper.
"Bad.." Murphy began to breathe out, "Bad dream."
'About (Y/N)'s brother, that's suppose to be dead.' Murphy finished in his head, not knowing how either of the awake would take the truth.
Images of the dream replayed in his head, the look on Mack's face, the look on Murphy's own face. The way (Y/N) stood there, helplessly; the look of betrayal and determination mixed like mud and water.
Somehow, someway, (Y/N) will die. Was it Murphy that was holding her?
'You are a king, Murphy. You're learning to control your pawns. Watch for the ones that take your orders a little too heart.'
What does that mean? How could he order someone to even touch (Y/N)?
"Where is (Y/N) at?" He asked after remembering Mack's riddle.
In the corner of his eye, he looked at Cassandra to make sure she was still in the car. She may be a feral cat, but she does take orders to heart. Was it Cassandra that grabbed (Y/N)? Besides Cassandra and Selena, he hasn't infected anyone.
It was a man that was going to kill (Y/N). So for now, he'd have to watch himself and what he orders Cassandra to do.
"She just left to scout with Addy. Murphy?" Warren wanted the man's full attention, not liking the gut feeling she was boiling up to.
'Why would he randomly ask about (Y/N)?' Her mind went wild with theories, 'He just had a nightmare and asking about her?'
"Is she okay?"
At just the possibility that (Y/N) could possible get hurt, due to Murphy again, 10K was now full blown glaring at Murphy for answers.
"She'll be fine." He whispered to them before laying back down.
This time, he openly cuddled with Selena and the unborn child as he continued to whispered the same thing to himself, over and over. The answer was not enough to satisfy 10K, though. He was about to reach for the door handle when Warren grabbed his forearm.
"She's with Addy. They're scouting the woods. You have no idea where they went."
"I'll find her."
"10K, she'll be no good to you if you get lost out there. She'll be back in the morning."
When that still left a bad taste in his mouth and he continued to try and escape, Warren finished with the statement that she knew would get to his military-thinking mind.
"That's an order."
A sniper he is, a follower he will always be.
|| The next morning || (Y/N)'s P.O.V ||
Warren's concern about the Tahoe not lasting very long was proven to be a complete worry that we sadly forgotten about by the morning. We were about 100 feet into town when the vehicle began to cause a ruckus below hood.
The spit and sputter attracted zombies from the wood works.
When I say I rather be in a zombie circus than see dead people chasing me with cheese on top of their head--some of them actually growing mold--and decomposing cheese smeared across their faces, with additional blood thickly onto their cheese, I meant it.
"Run!" Warren shouted to encourage movement between all of her comrades.
"Not too fast!" Serena argued with Warren's order as she and Addy ran together.
