"You wasn't really gonna shoot that boy were you?" I ask, I hated how aggressive Mark was to strangers especially people who weren't even a threat, "Everyone's a threat." He said coldly, "I knew him" I blurted out, "What?" He raised his eyebrow, I sigh

"Nothing" I mutter, We make it out of the woods and empty a house out to stay for the night, We cover the windows with towels and set our stuff down, We light candles that had layers of dust on it for light

I move the towel away from the window slightly to have a look outside, there we're plenty of walkers in the street because of Max shooting that gun earlier, I quickly put the towel back before the light draws any attention, "Stop looking out the window" Mark whisper yelled at me

"Alright, I stopped" I whispered back, "Should we look for Jayce tomorrow?" I asked him quietly? "No, It was his choice" He told me, "He's apart of our group, What if I-

"It was on him." He said coldly and quite loudly, "Be quiet they're right outside" I whispered, "And that's on me as well, I'm the one who has to deal with them" Mark said at the same tone, I blew the candles out, "Be quiet I'm checking the windows" I mumbled

I slowly peek through the window, The walkers were turning there heads towards the house I quickly put the towel back, "Well done" I whisper sarcastically, "Just be quiet they won't come" He said in a normal tone, "You be quiet" I scoff quietly

I hear a bang on the door, The walkers were pressing themselves against the door, He gets his gun and walks towards the door, I grab my knife, "Don't" He said, "Don't shoot! More will come" I warned Mark "You can't tell me what to do" Mark said, He opened the door and started to shoot the walkers, The gunshots alerted walkers from miles away, Walker were filling the hallway, I had no choice but to help him otherwise he was going to get bit

I go in the hallway and start stabbing the walkers in the brain, Once they were all gone from the house I shut the door "I told you not to" Mark yelled at me, "You we're going to die if I didn't" I snapped back

"I ain't going to die from some rotters" Mark scoffed and went upstairs, Maybe he was just having a bad day I mean especially after Jayce left, My thoughts went to Max and Rio, I was wondering if they were safe or not even if they told us were they where going to be for the night

I already lost everyone else and I don't want my brother gone as well, I lay down on the sofa and at least try to go to sleep, But I couldn't help but think of Carl, and how he was still alive, I told myself not to think about because when I saw Carol with some girls and a guy, Mark told me not to talk to her as she could try and take us all apart, Of course I did what Mark told me to do he was protecting me and our group I believed everything Mark said, I had to or I was going to die, I eventually fall asleep

Mark wakes me up, It was early in the morning "Get up were getting Max and Rio" Mark said he grabbed his gun, I get up and grab my knife and bag, We left after we got all our things, We made our way to where we split up, We were silent the whole time apart from where Mark shouted at me for last night.

We stand next to a house while we wait for them, Mark stood there smoking a cigarette whilst I sat against a house looking miserable and staring at my knees, Mark lightly kicked me, "Come on they're here" He said and flicked his cigarette on the floor, I sigh and get up

Mark and Rio were back with some supplies "No sign of Jayce but we found somethings" She said, "And we found a sign for some sanctuary, We could go there, The sign said 'Those who arrive survive' There was also someone's writing on it, Seems pretty new" Max added

"What's the writing say?" I ask, "Glenn go to Terminus, Maggie, Bob, Sasha" Max answered, "Made me remember Glenn and Maggie, and the farm" Max chuckled, I chuckle and then sigh

"It's dangerous, I'll have to think about it" Mark hissed, "What else are we gonna do? It's miles away, We better start now if we're going to go" Rio argued

"We'll get weapons first" Mark scoffed, "We all go on our own and meet back here, Then we go more places if you're in such a rush" Mark said, "Then we start now." Max said

"Don't be running away just like Jayce" Mark hissed at us, Shortly after we all left going our own directions, I go into the woods and sat on a fallen tree log, I turn on my Radio and start to see if I can contact Jayce if he was still alive, This went on for about half-hour until I hear someone

"I'm here"

"Jayce?" I ask, "Who else is with you?" He demands, "Nobody, We all split up" I answered honestly, "Why'd you leave?" I ask, He takes a while to answer, "I'm safe that's all you have to know, Over and out" He said, "Wai-

I sigh and push my hair back, Jayce was the only person who was ever there for me, Not even my own brother cared about me all he cared about was himself and Rio, I figured he didn't run away because he was scared is that was his only chance to leave everyone behind

I grab my knife that was stabbed into the tree log and walked onto a path, I felt like I was being watched the whole time but I had other things to worry about other than a stupid feeling, I had to come back with a weapon of some sort or Mark would probably be angry with me again I find a set of houses with large front porches and huge gardens, I decided to check there houses for weapons
