Hope Defeated [Editing]

Gone - Day 7

"Mae, hurry up your to slow." The shorter girl glared up at the tall figure, kicking her in the shin.

"Owe Mae that's not nice." The taller girl scolded.

"Ugh sorry let's go we can't be late." The two girls began to walk foreward, then they all ran out. Hundreds of students poured out of the school, running. In the back teachers were tackling then then eating them.

"Mae. Run. Now." The taller girl commands as they both ran. Maybe they would have stayed if they knew what would happen to them.

Miranda's POV

I sighed looking outside at the few humans walking around carefully to their destinations. I turn to my side and realise I need to get ready.

I jumped up getting ready quickly, hurrying up to Jack. He doesn't see me so I have a great idea, which I decide to act on.

I take out both of my machetes and jump from behind him yelling at the top of my lungs.

"Zombies!" Jack spins around scared as crap as I fall down unable to stop laughing. Jack gets very pissed as he walks over and kicks me really hard. I am still laughing as Alex walks over sighing and helping me up.

"Where's Jimmy?" Jack looks around not finding him. I shrug and Alex scratches her head in confusion.

"Not sure." She grunts and Jack sighs mumbling as he goes to look for him.

"So how have you been Alex?"

"Fine, you?"

"Goodish, still thinking about Ann." I wispered the last part.

"Miranda what happened wasent your fault, she would have died anyway. We all knew that even Jack." I nod, though I still feel guilty it makes me feel slightly better.

Jack comes running back with Jimmy following behind him. Then come to us panting as we leave them behind. We head to the main house where we decided to meet.

"Ok so we need walls, it's too dangerous to be outside at the moment. So the installment of walls in nessesary." We nod in agreement, and I clear my throat.

"I had an idea." Everyone turns to me making me shrink a bit.

"What?"

"We could use unneeded furniture and other fences to build a huge one around the neighborhood. Also we would have more housing for everyone, or new people and guests."

"Sounds good shall we get working immediately?"

"The sooner the better. We might finally be able to go for a walk safely." Alex cringes at Jimmy's words as Jack's stare darkened.

"Sorry didn't mean it like that." Jimmy looks down and away from Jack's glare. Jack sighs and mumbles that it's ok, as we discussed the plan in detail. We all headed outside readying our weapons to kill if any zombies got in the way.

I pulled out the two machetes as a zombie came down the road, this was strange. Suddenly from behind the zombie were about thirty people, all wearing robes.

"Those canabals are back..." Alex murmured, everyone except me had no clue what she meant. There were so many, but soon I saw many of our people squatting on the roof or behind buildings.

Justin came up front, pissed off with Abby by his side, a crazed look in her eyes. Suddenly they all charged at us, then everyone jumped onto them from their places. That took them by suprise, they had not been expecting it. All four of us stood still, soon joining in the fight as well.

I spun kicked, slicing down a boys face. A stabbed someone wrenching their gut and pulled our their kidney. I saw Abby creeping away and into the infirmary, I ran towards it.

Henry's POV

I was cutting up people with my sword and shooting their heads off. Then I saw Miranda running to the infirmary, so I followed closely behind her.

What is she doing?

As I went in I heard growling, then all I saw was blood, making me fall back.

"Henry no!" Miranda grabbed my wrist before I fell all the way down. She pulled me up and wiped my eyes.

"Now leave." I thought she was talking to me until I saw Abby crouched over Juilie's bed. I readied my gun but Miranda shook her head.

Then Abby slammed the door closed and I heard a gunshot. I shot out the lock as we got in all we saw was Abby jumping out the window and rejoining the battle. Then I turned to see the most horrific sight.

Juilie was ripped open, missing all of her organs. Abby's mouth had been stained with blood. I threw up, this was just...wrong. Miranda helped me up smiling sadly as she led me back outside, running off.

Why? What are you Abby?

Then I had one last thought before rejoining, the massacre again.

Abby, if I ever see you again I will kill you.

- Flashback  -

Abby's POV

Sometimes choices must be made, ones we regret. My hot tears stained the floor, I raised up my violin. I smiled, I might have looked like an angel, my short brown hair swayed as I played softly. My blue dress traced the floor as I gently swayed.

Sometimes those choices had to be made.
