Z Nation (10k FanFic)

Picking Up The Pieces

"Wake up everyone! We got to make a pit stop." Said Doc. We all got out of the car and streched our legs. "Where are we?" Asked Mack. "Wichita, Kansas." Said Warren. All the sudden I heard something behind us. "Uhh guys!" I said with worry. "What the hell are thouse." Said 10k. "Oh come on! Amphibious Zombies! Really?" Said Murphy. "Uh if your done can we run now!" Said Cassandra we all took off through the city. I was running ahead when Cassandra called my name to distract me. That's when 10k yelled, "Angel look out!" I quickly turned my head to see a car surounded by Z's. I narrowed my eyes and picked up speed. "Angel what are you doing!" Yelled Mack. Just then I kicked up off the ground and flipped my body over the Z's I touched the car with my finger tips and pushed myself off and landed behind the car in a crouched positions, then as soon as I hit I swiftly pulled an arrow out of my case and yelled "get down!" Then shot the arrow in the air. everyone hit the ground as the arrow sparked and cought the Z's attention. They quickly fallowed the flaming arrow and away from the group. "Woah where did you learn to do that!" Asked Addie. "I had a lot of free time one my hands." I said. "And you spent that free time jumping over cars?" She said with a chuckle. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders as we continued to search. "Okay guys, we need to split up, so we can cover more ground. I want 2 groups. Mack, Addie, Cassandra and Doc will go left, Me, Angel, 10k, and Murphy will go right we'll meet back here before dusk." Said Warren. We all agreed and parted ways. "Hey guys look!" Said 10k pointing to a building. We all walked over and listened for Z's. "What do you think is in there?" Asked Murphy. "Well there's only one way to find out." Said Warren kicking in the door. 10k and I went in first to scope out any Z's that maybe in there. Once it was clear Warren and Murphy came inside. We all were looking through boxes when I found one with a hazardous symbol on it. "Hey guys I think I found something." I yelled everyone walked up and 10k put his hand on my back. Chills went up my spine and I moved away from him. He looked at me concerned but pushed it aside. I knelt down and opened the box when we saw little vials of what looked like medicine. Some were liquid and some were powder. Warren grabbed a small paper and read, "Test medicine, liquid, used by injection contains medicine for minor aliments and pain. Test medicine, powder, used by ingestion contains medicine for critical aliments and near death. Natural minerals for all ages." "Looks like we got medicine guys!" Said Warren. We all grabbed a few vials of medicine, I put mine in my satual then continued to look around. While we looked around we found powdered food, water, and more amo. "Alright it should be getting dark soon we should get going." Said Warren we all headed out when I noticed something shiny "hold up guys!" I said. I ran over to see what it was, it was a necklace shaped like a gold cross, I noticed there was an opening in the side, but before I could open it Warren yelled my name. I quickly shoved the necklace in my pocket and hurried back to the group. We continued back to our meeting place and waited for the others. While we were waiting I was looking at the necklace. When I felt the open side "Hmm" I thought to myself. That's when it flipped open and a blade apeared. My eyes widened and I herd someone call my name I quickly closed the necklace and shoved it back into my pocket. I looked over and it was Warren. "Hey boss." I said. "Hey Angel, can we talk?" She said. "Sure what's up." I said looking at her. "Look, non of us can even imagine what you went through in that house.." I tensed up as she spoke. "But you need to talk to 10k he thinks it's his fault. He really likes you and is trying his best to impress you and earlier today he thought you were trying to tell him you weren't interested." She said. My heart sank into my stomach "Oh man, I didn't mean for him to feel like that. It just when he put his hand on my back it gave me chills and took me back to that night..." I said in a sad voice. I got up and walked over to the group when I noticed Cassandra laying her head on 10k's shoulder I narrowed my eyes and walked over to them. 10k saw me and quickly stood up catching Cassandra off guard. "Hey." He said with a little smile. "Hey. Can we go some where and talk?" I asked. He nodded and we walked away from the rest of the group. We walked for a minute when we came across a bridge. I walked on to the bridge and looked at the sunset. "10k look, it's not because of you that I'm so distant, it's... it's because of me." I said. "Angel what are you talking about. How is any of this your fault?" He said standing next to me. "I... I don't know, trouble seems to fallow me no matter how hard I try to get away from it and I don't want to bring you down with me." I said getting choked up. "Angel non of this is your fault! You're talking nonsence!" He said. "10k those guys rapped me for God sakes! We've been attacked and held hostage and almost killed and it's all my fault bad luck fallows me and I... I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you." I said in tears. He saw my tears and wiped them away with his thumb. "Please... don't..." I whispered. "Why are you so guarded? Why won't you let anyone get close to you." He asked sounding a little mad. "10k it's not that simple." I sobbed. "What do you mean it's not that simple!" He snapped. I jumped when he raised his voice, he noticed. "I... I'm sorry." He whispered. "I... I'm just trying to understand. I've never met a girl like you, so secluded and misterious." He said. I looked at him in awe and leaned in and kissed him. He just looked at me and let out a light chuckle "your so confusing." He said. I smiled and said, "10k I'm so sorry, I shouldn't be taking any of this out on you. Its just the last few years bad luck has seemed to fallow me and anyone I cared about has gotten hurt. I was just trying to protect you..." my face grew sad and he pulled me close and whispered, "It's time you let someone protect you for a change." I looked up at him and could see the compassion in his eyes, i was quiet for a moment then whispered, "okay." He smiled and kissed my forhead. Then we walked back to the group hand in hand.
