Rising of the Undead

Chapter 13: Sneaky Plotting

Alex POV

And, she just fell...

The man with the food came over to us and slid each tray underneath the bars. Sky was still unconscious and despite my tries to wake her up, she still didn't wake up. The food consisted of deer meat, rice and some beans. It wasn't the nicest or most nutritious meal for that fact, but I hadn't eaten a whole meal since we were in Hodson forest. So I ate. With no cutlery. I ate.

Sky POV

I woke to find Alex eating. I had a throbbing pain in my head and my cut on my had stopped bleeding and had gone numb. I got up realising that I had been laying on my broken hand. I moved off it wincing in pain.

"Have a nice nap?" Sarcastically asked Alex.

"It was refreshing. Although I didn't dream." I replied.

"Didn't expect you to." Replied Alex.

Alex is just so joyful sometimes I thought to myself. I turned around to see a tray laying on the floor with food on it.

"What's this?" I asked.

"A piece of my butt." Replied Alex.

I scowled and ate it. For I knew it wasn't a piece of his butt. He loved himself too much.

I finished the food just minutes after Alex. I pushed the plate back under the bars. Then I saw it. A piece of bone from the deer meat. For they didn't care to check it.

"A small price to pay for a large mistake." I said outloud.

"Huh?" Alex said and I showed him the bone.

It was shaped like a key but without the top part.

"Ahhh." Said Alex and he dug in his plate and took two more bones out. "I'm guessing this is our master plan."

"Yeah. This is how we will get out. When the guards come in we will subdue them." I said.

"I'm guessing we will then take their weapons and search for the truck duty time tables." Continued Alex.

"And we know this because how did we get here. The trains are stuck forever in the subways. The main port has been destroyed and..." I stated

"Not many people have boats." Alex finished. "Once we have this info we will make our way to the truck off, removing enemies on the way."

"What do we do once we have got the truck?" I asked.

"Well, I guess we will figure that out when we get to it." Replied Alex.

I was sitting near the middle of my cell, so I moved closer to Alex. He looked to be deep in thought. And even though he looked exhausted and his hair was a mess, he looked cute.

"Are you okay?" I asked Alex.

"Mm," He replied.

"I can tell something is on your mind. You have never looked this worried." I stated.

He turned to look at me. His deep green eyes boaring into my skull. At that moment I felt sick, because he meant so much to me, and seeing him like this was breaking me.

'You wouldn't want to know." He said.

Something was up and I wouldn't let bit slip that easily. I stared straight into his green eyes.

"Alex Sato. You mean the world to me. I hate seeing you like this so please tell me what's on your mind. Cause every second you do this its tearing me up inside. You can tell me anything and I want you to know that ill never judge you by anything, and I hope you'll never judge me too." I ranted.

It seemed to strike something inside him because he looked up from the floor.

"I'll never judge you Sky and I love you. But something has been bothering me. I have been thinking about this one thing ever since this whole thing started. I mean, what are we running from. Ever since the explosion the numbers of infected have been growing and now over 1/3 of the population of the world is either dead or infected. We are surviving just to die from wounds or being ambushed by infected. I was thinking of ending it all Sky. I don't want to do this anymore. The amount of pain I'm in is too much to take in anymore and this is like a living nightmare everyday for me. You know how I told you about my zombie fear. I haven't conquered it and that's how much I suck. The fear has escalated everyday and now stuck in this cell has given me the time to think about it. I just don't want to spend the rest of my life like this. I had ambitions but now I just don't know anymore. Sky... I just... don't know anymore." Said Alex.

What he said touched me. His head was in his hands and he was shaking. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. I had had the same trail of thoughts but I had put all my feelings aside. For once i had a person that would listen and never judge me. Somebody I could be myself with.
I put my hand under Alex's chin and lifted his head up. He was shaking even more and his eyes were red.

"Don't ever leave me in this world alone Alex. I love you and if you ever left me I don't think I could cope. I was having the same trail of thought but I put all my feelings aside because I was afraid you would judge me." Alex broke down at this and put his head in his hands again, sobbing harder. "But now I know that you would never. And I don't think any less of you Alex. Please don't do this to me." I kissed him fully on the lips. "Please."I finished as I kissed him again. I kissed him harder full of passion and feeling. I broke away after about a minute and he was still shaking. He seemed to be calmer now but still shook. I kissed him one more time. Before I sat back against the wall. Alex sat back as well but wincing, because of his broken leg and ribs. I rested my head back and closed my eyes. Alex did the same.
