Losing hope (chapter 16)

A/n- I'm back yall , enjoy the chapter 💪🏼🤠

Graves looked at you as he stood quiet letting your words sink in and he nodded.
"Alright will head out..."
He said as he saw the stress in your face and tone. He knew you were stressed and worried about your family. You figured maybe once you checked where ghost was you could go try and find price and the others. You decided on it and stood looking at graves as you kept quiet and you made your way back from the way you came in and you stood outside , checking through the crack of the fence to see that the hoard of infected was broken up and spread out which left more of a better chance to get out and across and back into the field and back to the airport.

Graves went out of his house and behind you and he put his hand on your shoulder.
"Hoards died down , will get across."
He spoke as he looked through the crack of the fence as well.
"Kinda like your journey to prison.."
You retorted and he let off a small annoyed look for a moment.
"That's a low blow eh?.."
He muttered and you eyed him.
"Yeah I bet you really blowed during your half sentence.."
You said in a sarcastic manner and he gave a look that said "really ?".
You sighed and kept quiet as you flicked out your pocket knife and you quickly opened up the fence and slowly made your way out quietly with graves following behind and before anything you made sure the coast was clear before booking it and running.

You ran down the street , seeing limbs , blood and more as you got up and running. Your legs burning up but you ignored the burn as you just kept running back towards the grassy field.Graves followed close behind you keeping up easily as you ran quickly. He couldn't let you out of his sight. He kept an eye on you but he kept one eye on the surrounding area as well as he still saw some infected lurking about. As You ran across the streets, cutting a direct path through the grassy field It was a clear shot to the airport where all the action had taken place. Where all the chaos had first broken out.

Where you'd had left ghost.

Graves ran after you as he was in good physical condition and he kept up as You were fast and had incredible endurance currently as you didn't stop as you ran through the tall grass , not even thinking about the ticks like you did before. You were desperate to find ghost and you couldn't let him go , you didn't want to. You couldn't. Ghost was the person who had been with you for a lot of time but now your mind just ran with the thoughts of him maybe being alive or not.
"Y/n wait up slow down a bit—"
Graves called from behind you as he started to feel his legs grow tired with every long stride he took as he ran down behind you and after you.

"Hurry the fuck up then."
You breathed out as you kept running as fast as you could through the tall grass.The airport was getting closer and closer as you ran through the grassy field with graves along with you. It looked like there were still quite a few infected scattered around the area as well as crashed cars and more  but they didn't seem to pay any attention as there was so much going around there was much to get distracted by and it made it hard to focus. As you ran, you saw the distant outline of the airport but You also saw more of the aftermath of the fighting as There were more wrecked cars but with burnt bodies in them from the fires , broken bits of buildings, and scattered bodies with much more. Military personnel started to flood through again as well as there were hers that flown above zooming past as well as humvees coming along the streets that lied with body's. They were trying to make way to try as they had gotten new orders. New orders to kill on sight of there were infected or people with signs of infection.

As you came up to the airport and at the edge of the field where you had first come from you stopped in your tracks and you felt your world stop, you felt your breathing hitch as that feeling of a lump formed in your throat. You watched as ghost stood on the outside struggling as he had a few bite marks on his arms as well as he had a knife wound wedged between the first two ribs on his left side. You saw the blood that pooled onto him and he saw you , his eyes looking dead into yours and as you both made eye contact you felt yourself break as you ran to him.

Death lingered and was leading over your shoulder for you couldn't let go for this would feel like a boulder. You knew the weight this would hold and it would be heavy for this was break yet you weren't ready.
