GREY KINGSTON
the doors to the train car swing open revealing rick, daryl, and glenn, yelling for all of us to run out—just like carl and maggie promised they would.
the air outside of the train car is filled with smoke and there's tons of walkers coming from every direction.
without even thinking, our handmade weapons are put to use to defend ourselves as we keep our eyes peeled for a way out of this place.
the people who are holding us hostage are too distracted by the mayhem within their walls to even notice we got out. either that, or they're all dead already.
"what the hell happened?" i yell over the sound of my wooden spear going through a walker's head.
"no idea!" glenn shakes his head. "some explosion." maggie and i follow the direction he's pointing in with our eyes.
whatever or whoever set it off, might've just saved our lives.
"come on!" carl runs right past the three of us, rick and michonne close behind him.
"the gates!" michonne yells, and our group follows, running towards the surrounding gates of terminus—our way out.
we all climb and jump one by one, over the rattling, metal gate and land on the safe ground on the other side.
screams, gunfire, and most of all, snarls and groans from walkers remain in the community of terminus.
i stand and watch as the others keep heading for the woods.
with our scent and the noises we're making, we created a line of walkers that followed us to the gate we hopped. their bodies are piled up against it, walking in place and getting no where as they stare us down with their hungry, emotionless eyes.
"you okay?" rick's hand rests on my shoulder.
my eyes snap over to his. sweat has drenched his hair, his curls tightly spun around each other as they hang over his forehead.
i nod my head.
"you guys!" glenn sighs out of breath from the opening of the woods. "are we gonna run for it or just stand here and watch?"
rick and i unintentionally ignore him.
"you remember where we put them?" rick asks me.
"yeah," i say, and then motion for him to follow me.
"thank you." glenn says as rick and i finally meet up with all of them.
i smile as i see maggie trying to wipe the blood off of glenn's neck, but glenn would rather she didn't.
