The End of the World(under revision)

Chapter 20- And Then it Goes Back

*Mary's POV*

When I wake up, I'm in my cell. I walk out and see most of the group is sick. I see Lizzie, and ask her if she wants me to read to her.

"Sure! I like the book always."

We head back to the cell. After a couple hours I'm almost done with the book. That's when I hear one of those gurneys. I walk out and Hershel pushing a gurney.

"I know someone's dead, but who is it?" I whisper.
"You don't want to know."
"Yes I do!"
"No."

I get mad and just walk up to the gurney to see who it is. After I see who it is I back away in shock. I sit down on the floor and start crying. It was my dad. Realization comes across me, and I stand up and help Hershel. As soon as we enter what used to be the taking room or something, my dad walks up.

I grab the knife from Hershel and walk up to my dad and stab him in the head. Walking back to the cells I give Hershel the knife back. Lizzie asks me where I was.

"I was just talking to Hershel."
"Ok, can you keep reading?"
"Sure!"

I read for another couple hours when Hershel comes back around with the tea. We both drink it and he asks me to go with him.

*Hershel's POV*

"Can you come with me?"
"Sure."

I take her down the hall to a cell to help me, Sasha, and Glenn get a tube down I guys throat, so he can breath.

*Mary's POV*

Hershel takes me down the hall to a cell. He tells me he wants me to hold down. He, Glenn, and Sasha have to put tube down his throat so he can breath. I walk over and hold down, Glenn try's help me and Hershel at the same time.

They finally get the tube down, so I head back to my cell. Hershel goes around shutting all the doors. Sitting down I grab my phone(yes I still have it. I have a solar battery charger.) and put my headphone in. I turn it up all the way and start singing:

When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
Ohhhh
Born to a throne, stronger then Rome
A violent prone, poor people zone
But it's my home, all I have know
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survivors
Learn from the streets, it can be bleak
Except no defeat, surrender, retreat
So we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering when we'll be free
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day
It's not far away, but for now we say:
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
Ohhhh
So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
I heard them say love is the way
Love is the answer, that's what they say
But look how they treat us
Make us believers, we fight their battles
Then they deceive us
Tried to control us, they couldn't hold us
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers
So we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering when we'll be free
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day
It's not that far away, but for now we say:
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes:
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes:
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes:
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes:
When I get older, when I get older
I will be stronger
Just like a wavin' flag
Just like a wavin' flag
Just like a wavin' flag
Flag, flag
Just like a wavin' flag

I was singing with my eyes closed and someone shook me. I took one headphone out.
"What do you want?!"
"Nice singing!"

I open my eyes.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!"
