Once again we were on our way, swaying back and forth as the horses trotted along. 10k rested his head on my shoulder from behind, his arms still wrapped around my waist.

In the back of my head, the thought of leaving the group never left. The only thing keeping me here was him. My lover. My friend. My everything.

"I love you." He whispered into my ear.

I smiled to myself.

Addy must have noticed because she said,
"You guys are so cute."

*time skip* (hospital)

There were, what I hoped to be dead bodies everywhere. Scattered in front of the fences, definitely man made.

There wasn't just someone living here, it was more than that.

We all got off the horses. The woman, name still unknown, went first. Then her brother, Warren, Doc, Mack and Addy. Myself and 10k kept up the back.

"I swear if one of these things~" I started,

"Shhh!"

I rolled my eyes.

We tiptoed around the bodies, making our way to the building.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" A voice yelled.
Coming from on top of the building.

"Dad?" The woman called back.

I believe he said her name, but he was too far away for us to hear.

"Hold on! I'll be right down."

We all walked to the entrance, his men gave a us rude glances as we passed, probably trying to scare us.

They let each other with a big hug. Holding each other close. Smiling.

"What brings you here?" He asks.

"These people have warned us, about an approaching herd. We need you to come with us.
It's no longer safe here."

"I'm sorry hun, but I don't think I can. These are my people, and they won't agree."

"But~"

"No. I can't. I'm sorry."

"You best get going, take your new friends with you."

He was much more accepting of us than the brother.

"Fine, then I'm staying." The brother spoke.

"Fine."
The sister spoke, "Then I'm going back to camp."

There was nothing we could do to convince either of them, although of course Warren tried.

I, on the other hand was just honestly exhausted.
I walked back to the entrance, and, of course, 10k followed me like my own personal puppy dog.

I slid down the side of the wall, ending up sitting there, with my weapons on the ground.

I stared at my knife, it was clean. I kept it that way.
