Running in Hell

Chapter 12 - Runaway

PERACH HERE!!

¥ Serina's POV ¥

I sat down beside Nathan, he was sitting on the ground looking at the sky. Tears streamed down his face and I could feel my heart break a little on the inside, pitying him. I put my arms around him, giving him a shoulder to cry on. I felt bad for him, his probably only family left dying because of him.. Although he thinks it's his fault, it isn't fully. I should've looked for bites! Being the careless little shit I am, I let him feel heartbroken. He cried into my shoulder, sobbing furiously as the others stood talking behind us.

After a couple hours we started traveling to the city. We stopped at this place, cold dark but also really enclosed. We decided to rest here, we got paired up.. Me going with Nathan. We all walked to our rooms, me laying on the uncomfortable, broken down bed staring at the broken ceiling. I sighed, inhaling deeply. I missed my life, family, friends. Most of them died in the strange occurance, like my friend Maddy. She was always so, nice, kind, and funny most of the time. I never saw her cry, or even frown at negetive points in her life. I thought of her at this moment, till I felt hot tears running down my cheeks. I tried to wipe them away, my sniffling being quiet.. But just loud enough for Nathan to notice. He turned around, looking at me.

"You ok?" He asked, eyes full of care. Man this kid, he's like some sort of drug. I started crying harder, curling up into a ball. I felt arms wrap around me, hugging me. I snuggled into the figure, who i'm guessing was Nathan and cried.

"N-n-no!" I stuttered, crying thinking of Maddy. My mind lost control, making me spit out words like 'She was all I had!' and 'She's gone!'. 

"Who's gone?" He asked, tightening his grip around me. I froze, I saw her die. Being slowly eaten  away, it was all my fault.. She died, because of me.

"M-Maddy! She died, all I did was watch!" I yelled, shoving him off me scooting into the corner. He got up, pulling me up into a hug.

"It's not your fault, beleive me." He said. I stopped crying, Maddy did seem to be struggling. I knew I was too weak, to help what-so-ever. I just ran, not thinking. I ran through the door of the bedroom, out the front door, into the empty streets. I cried, running as fast as I could without thinking. I heard screams behind me, I ran through the streets reaching an empty building. I ran inside, collasping on the floor. I cried myself to sleep, never forgeting one last thing before I fell asleep.. I swore it was Nathan, but my mind was too wild to see. All I heard was a scream.... 'Come back.. I love you!'
