「 chapter 20 」
_______________

I keep my head down while we walk, with my hands around the straps of my backpack and the sun beaming through the trees and onto our skin, I was starting to sweat.

My stomach grumbles gently, snapping me out of my thoughts. I haven't eaten a meal in days, I haven't even been hungry lately, this was the first time in weeks I felt a taste of hunger. Since Beth, I haven't felt much at all. I don't speak much these days, I don't share my thoughts anymore. All I feel is sadness now and I don't know how to change it when we live in a world like this, where everyone dies. Maybe it's best if I just don't get attached to anyone at all. I should stop thinking we actually have a chance.

"That's it!"

I lift my head up at the sudden outburst of excited from Noah. I wasn't paying attention to what ever him, Rick, Michonne, Glenn or Tyrese were discussing ahead of me, but we must have found something.

When the adults start to chase after him, I pick my feet up and follow too. It looks like we've found Noah's home, the little village he was telling us about, he says his mum and brother are here.

I push the branches out of the way from my path and slowly come to a walk, gazing up at the thick gates in front of us. We couldn't see in side, but there was a brick wall we could climb to get in if we have to. This place looks pretty abandoned.

"Ellie, get behind me." Rick says, keeping his eyes up. For a second I'm confused, then I remember Noah telling us in the car about having guards with guns at the gates, but no one is here to greet us. To make Rick happy, I take one step towards him, knowing already that no one is going to point a gun at us.

Noah steps forward and hits his fist against the metal, it rattles a little and we stare up, waiting for something to happen.

"What's meant to happen?" I ask.
"They're meant to come and unlock the gates." He says, turning to look at me before looking back at the gates quickly, looking frantic.

I give Rick a look, he knows what I'm thinking. I look to Glenn to see he was the same. The only thing but doubt in his eyes was the guilt he felt for Noah. Glenn climbs up the side of the gets and on top of the brick wall, gazing over. We wait to see what he was going to say, but I already knew judging from the look on his face.

He turns back and shakes his head sadly, making Noah climb on the other side of the wall, he wanted to see for himself.

"Noah! Wait!" Rick yells out to him as he rolls over the top, I don't know why he would do that. The guy was still limping from a few weeks back.
