When we crumble(#wattys2015)

8.The living

The rope seemed to be getting tighter and tighter every second I spent hostage to this mental person. The lack of vision made everything worse.

"Why'd you come here?!" The voice roared.

Trembles went through my body."We wanted to escape those creatures."

"Speak up boy!" A stinging feeling erupted from my face.

"We wanted to escape those creatures!" My voice was louder.

"You mean the walkers. Their crawling all around here. That's why i need you to show me the way back to where you came from, but also i need you to tell me if it's safe."

A laugh escaped my lips. "You think the country is safe...how about you go there and if you make out alive tell me what you think."

This time something slashed against my leg making it feel like it was on fire.

" DONT YOU GET SMART WITH ME BOY!"

Who was this dude. I felt a scowl on my face. "FUCK...you."

"Fuck me." He chuckled. " Ain't you a brave soul. You say fuck you to the man that can kill you and all you friends in a heartbeat."

"If you wanted us dead you would've killed us by now."

Suddenly the ropes were cut and i was being dragged. My body had no fight left.

Soon enough the blindfold was taken off and i was in a old room. And in front of me were two people. The old man and my taker. He had a hood. Nothing was revealed.

"You think I'm bluffing."

I knew he wasn't. " yup."

"You're right I'm bluffing. I won't kill him. You will."

A gun was pressed in my hand. "I could kill you."

A heard the laughter in his voice. "You could but then you'll be killing the rest of you're friends." His voice turned to stone. "Now kill him before i kill you both."

The old guy was gaged and tied. He had tears in his eyes and he kicked and tired to get away.

"Kill him.."

He closed his eyes.

"Kill him!"

And I pulled the trigger. My hands shook and my legs gave away. The little bit of food i had came up. Which wasn't much. I killed someone...again.

"Ah don't dirty the floors. I'll tell you what. If you give me that pretty lady of yours I'll let you and that boy be on your way."

"Why would you want her?! Why did I have to kill him?!" My voice ranged through the room.

"A guy has needs...besides she knows the country pretty well i assume. And that guy well he was just fucking annoying."

My body instinctively balled itself up. " Take her."

"Seriously!" His voice was surprised.

"Take her and let us go. But i want that gun with bullets with food and water with my map."

"Fine by me."

*****

Me and chase stood in front of the building.

"I'm going back inside. I'm going to get Ally and I'm going to kill him." My voice was flat.

Chase looked at me worried. " No...no!"

" Any better ideas!"

" I'll go."

" ....chase..." WAS HE INSANE.

" I'll be back in a few minutes. I promise." Before I could respond or even give him a gun he rushed in the building.

I sat down on a car hood and thought. What's gonna happen to us. After these 'walkers' died out. That's if we don't die out.

The smell of rotting flesh got stronger than usual. I looked up and realized there were walkers! Hundreds of them!

Ally.Chase. FUCK!

Jumping of the car i headed towards the building. It was like a herd. To much.

If my day couldn't get any worse a few of them headed in my direction. My legs hit auto drive and i ran , ran as fast as I could.

When i was sure i was safe I dropped to the ground. This all happened so fast. Everything gone. And now Chase and Ally and even that old guy we're gone! I have to check for sure though!

Since that day. I made a vow and i was never the same. NEVER.
