The Scars On Our Hearts (Glenn Rhee) *Completed*

Chapter 20

"Elena?!" I yelled.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" She whispered.

I put my gun away and tackled her in a hug. "I thought you died back at Alexandria."

"I thought you died," she replied and pulled away. "Are you here alone?"

"Oh yeah, come on! We're all downstairs, you can come with us!" I said a bit to excitedly but the look on her face made my smile fall. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing," Elena stuttered. "I just....I can't come with you I-I..." She looked at her shoes and sighed.

"You what?"

"Okay, you gotta keep quiet about this and I'll meet you here tomorrow at midnight," she instructed.

"I can't tell people you're here?" I was completely confused now.

"No."

"But why?"

"You just can't!" She whisper yelled.

"But why!" I said loudly.

"Please be quiet! They'll hear you!" She said then covered her mouth with her hand.

"Wait....who's 'they'?" I asked and she started to back away slowly.

"Nobody! Nothing!" She said almost a bit to suspiciously.

"Dylan, please! Dylan just....don't tell anyone," she pleaded.

"Okay...fine, I'll keep it a secret," I sighed and she hugged me.

"Thank you!" She said. And with that, she was gone.

What just happened?!

*Glenn's POV*

Dylan was acting weird the next morning. And when I say weird, I mean weird. Every time someone would talk to him he would jump and talk in a high voice. He kept fixing his hair by looking at his reflection in the old computer screens.

Everyone seems to be getting comfortable here. We spread out over three of the classrooms and use carpets, beanbags, and pillows for beds. The only problem is, no food.

Me, Rick, Daryl, Abraham, Tara, Maggie, and Rosita are going out tomorrow to search for the old cafeteria while the others stay and watch the kids.

"Dylan, you okay?" I asked.

His head snapped up and he looked around. "Yeah! Yes, I'm perfectly fine! Why wouldn't I be? Pst...I'm okay. Just great," he said nervously.

I raised my eyebrow at him and he noticed everyone was looking at him. "What's everyone looking at?" He asked and a few people chuckled.

~~~~~

Once I thought Dylan was back to normal, I was proven wrong. He was laying down and all of a sudden he got up and left the room. I sat there confused until Maggie came over with Mia.

"Uhh....Maggie?" I said.

"Yeah?"

"Have you noticed Dylan acting a bit strange lately?" I asked.

She set Mia down in the makeshift crib. "What do you mean?"

"Well all day he has been very...jumpy and he just left the room," I said.

"Babe, relax. He's probably just nervous about losing this place and he probably went to the room next door to talk to Carl," she said and sat down next to me.

"Yeah. I guess." I pecked her on the lips and she smiled. "I hope."

*Dylan's POV*

I snuck back up to stairs and sat down, waiting for Elena to come. I knew it wasn't the safest thing but I had to wait.

When I heard the door creak open, I jumped to my feet.

"Dylan?" Elena whispered.

"Yeah, I'm here," I replied and gave her a hug. "Now, can you please tell me what's going on?"

"Dylan, I want to tell you, trust me I do....but I can't. People will get hurt. People could die," she said, her voice shaking a bit.

"What are you talking about? Who are you with?" I asked.

"I can't tell!" She said and looked like she was about to cry.

"What will it take for you to say something?" I asked. She didn't reply. "Do you have something to do with this?" I pulled out the dog tag necklace from my pocket and held it up.

"W-where did you get that?" She asked.

"My little sister had it, she said some man gave it to her, but then my dad took it from her and I overheard him and Rick talking about how it's a tracker inside a necklace. So I took it this morning to show you," I said.

She tucked her knees to her chest and hid her face in her hands. "Oh god no," she whispered.

"Elena?" I asked. "Are you okay?" I got no response.

She looked strait ahead and started to shake. "It's gonna happen. It's happening."

I moved my hand with the necklace in it towards her and she jerked away. "Get that thing away from me!" She screamed.

Then, suddenly the door burst open and five big figures appeared in the doorway.

"Move! Run!" Elena yelled and pulled me to my feet. "They're here."
