The Walking Dead || 5SOS

Chapter 8

(A/N: I'll have a chapter spam for this book tonight!)

Ashton

At least two walkers had crept up on me while I was searching the abandoned house.

I tried to save my bullets and stab each of the walkers but it seemed impossible, desperate times really do call for desperate measures.

I grab my gun and pulled the trigger, killing each walker. It felt like at any moment I could have been bitten but luckily I wasn't, although I did end up with scratches and bruises.

I could hear footsteps running up the stairs, "Ashton! Are you okay?" Ali shouted in fear. I didn't have time to answer because she was alreadh checking me for walker bites.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" I chuckled. "God, don't scare me like that" she said slapping my arm. I rubbed my arm and gave an "ow"

"I have no idea what I would have done if I lost you" She muttered shaking her head away from the thought. "Don't worry okay? I'm fine, you're fine, we're both fine" I reassured her.

"Come on, grab more stuff then we need to find my group" I said.

She nodded and helped me search the upstairs. We entered a room at the end of the hallway.

The door slowly creaked open and a small wooden crib but that's not what had caught our attention.

A small cry..from a baby was become more audiable by each second and step we took.

Except, there was no baby in the crib. Ali and I had both exchanged looks of worry and confusion.

I took a peak around the room until I stopped infront of the closet. The baby cry had gotten louder.

I slowly opened the white wooden door.

And there sat a baby crying its eyes out.

"Ali come over here.." I said exmaining the baby for walker bites.

"It's a girl" I said like if I were a doctor telling a mom and dad their childs gender.

"Is-is she bite?" She asked quietly

"I don't think so.." I muttered knitting my eyebrows together.

Ali took another examination at the still crying baby.

"What's this?" She asked picking up a piece of paper near the baby girl.

May 25th, 2014

To whom this may concern,

If you found our baby please take of her. Her father and I have been bit and cant risk hurting our child. Her name is Bella. Please take of her. I want her to live.

Sincerely,
Allison Sanders.

"Ali what's todays date?" I asked

"The 26th of May...why?" She asked

"This was written on the 25th of May" I muttered

"That means..."

"The walkers who attacked me were her parents" I said

"Give me that" She snatched the paper out of my hand.

Bella's wails still sounded through the room, I carefully picked her up. She was so small, it felt like I could break her if I held her just a little to tight.

"Ssh.." I whispered cradling Bella.

Her eyes starting dropping and soon fell into a good night sleep.

"Since when did you become so great with babies?" Ali half whispered, half smirked.

"I had two younger siblings, I know a thing or two" I shrugged

She laughed a bit but her smile eventually faded away, "Are we going to keep her?" She asked. "We need to, we can't just leave her here" I said. Ali only nodded and picked up a small blanket to whom I assume is Bella's.

Ali wrapped it around her, "There must be baby food and items around her. You pack up diapers, wipies, and a bunch of other things while I get food for her and our group" She commanded.

I gave her the okay and set Bella in her crib. I quickly looked around for items. I found a baby bag and put items that I knew were mandatory for a baby to have.

Clothes, diapers, wipies, bib, bottles, and a bunch of other items that a baby needs to have. "Okay I get all of the food and stuff" Ali called out walking into the room.

"Do we think we should take a stroller or something?" I asked looking over at Bella.

"Yeah we should, hm..look I think that stroller over there is also a two piece set. It may be a stroller and baby carrier in one" She said pointing over to the black stroller that had blue flowers on it.

It was in fact a two piece set and I made sure it was still secure enough for Bella to be in. It was safe. I gave Ali the 'okay' signal. She carefully picked up the sleeping baby and quietly set her in the stroller.

"Do you think she'll be okay? Surving with us..do you think the group would be okay with it?" She asked pulling the stroller out the day. "Hopefully"

Then we walked out the house and into the woods in a complete comfortable silence. Bushes began to move around us which in our case was odd and strange considering it wasn't windy.

We whipped around and quickly pulled out knifes, covering Bella in the process.

We breathed a sigh of a relief when I saw my best friends along with three girls.

Calum, Luke, Michael, and I didn't say anything except hug. Their like my brothers and If I hadn't found them, or if they hadn't found me I have no idea what I would have done.

After our bromance momennt, they looked over at the stroller which carried Bella in it.

"What's with the stroller?"

"Well..."
