CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR !☆
AT SUN RISE, estella and ottie left the cabin and went back on their walk to terminus. on their walk, estella being estella had fallen into a murky, shallow pond, making all of her clothes wet. her thighs were chafing horribly. she was in pain, but she had no choice but to continue walking in wet clothes, knowing she had nothing to change into in the middle of the woods.
the sun beat down mercilessly on them, baking their skin and making them feel dizzy and disoriented. they knew they needed to get some water soon. they had ran out, and were keeping their eyes peeled for a nearby stream or river.
a filthy, run down walker lurched out of the bushes, its eyes glowing with hunger as it dragged itself towards them. estella lazily slung her crossbow over her shoulder and took aim, planting an arrow directly between the eyes with a single, fluid motion.
"where did you learn to do that?" ottie asked as estella got her arrow back, wiping it off and putting it back in her bag.
"my dad taught me." she simply replied.
"you're lucky that you still have your dad through all of this. my dad lost his way." the elder sighed.
"i lost my real dad at the start of this." estella said back, making ottie furrow her eyebrows as she looked at her.
"huh? what happened to your real mom and dad then? if you don't mind me asking." she questioned.
"my real dad's name was logan, my mom's name was annalise. they were good, up until the turn. they went out on a hunt to find some supplies we needed, like food and stuff. i waited for them to come back for a long time. i don't know how long it took, but they never came back." she explained.
"so, how did you find the dad you have now?" she asked.
"i didn't find him, he found me. he was finding a girl named sophia, one of my groups daughters. turns out, he was tracking the wrong girl, and ended up tracking me instead of her. he found me in my house and took me to a farm where i met the rest of the group. he just took me under his wing. i still didn't know where my mom and dad was, but then one of the group, glenn, said that there was walkers in the barn." estella told her.
"then, this guy called shane, he's dead now, opened up the barn and walkers just started spilling out. sophia was in there, dead, and so was my dad. i found my mum almost a year after. she wasn't the same, though. she was working with a super bad man, named the governor. she wanted to hurt my group, hurt me, so i killed her."
