The anger pandemic (walking dead fan fiction but with a twist)

Day 30 18+

    

       We have escaped the town where the little boys jaw fell off. John still hasn't explained what is going on with him. Things are getting stranger and stranger. The angrys are looking sick and less human.... Some are quite literally falling apart and some are growing new limbs and strange new kind of animals have shown up out of the blue. I wish I could exhume this problem. Save this little girl in the back seat. Nobody knows where this came from, maybe monkeys, or moldy food, radiation, water supply is kind of shitty.... Who knows, maybe god is angry.

     As I drive along in the truck I feel the car start to sputter. "Fuck!" I slam my hands into the steering wheel and check out the gas meter. Empty. "John. John wake up. We need gas."

     John doesn't say a word but opens the car door and slams it shut. Grabbing the gas can and long rubber tube. I watch him siphon a silver 2013 ford. Ugly car btw. No gas. I lay my head back and look in the rear view mirror at Callie while John moves to another car.

     " Callie honey how ya feelin" I pull my hair up into a quick bun.

"Good I guess... I just really want to go swimming. It's hot."

" I know hun. We will find someplace safe for us to swim." I say looking around at the heavy woods and into the trees. I see some movement and reach my hand behind the seat asking for my rifle. When Callie hands my rifle over I lode the clip and hold my breath as I point it out the truck drivers side window.

   I see more rusting in the trees and hear clomping of multiple hooves. Callie lets out a scream when we see that they are horses.

" FUCKING HORSES!!!" Callie yells.

"THATS MY GIRL!!" John yells laughing.

    I chuckle and step out of the truck and let Callie out as well.

" don't scare them we might need um cal." John came over slowly to tell cal.

  " John... where did you put the rope?" I chuckle excited to rope em up.

  " it's in the trunk and we got lucky they showed up. There is no gas in any of these damn cars."

    I got down after getting the lasso ready and slowly made my way toward the horse.

"I ain't gonna hurt yah.. I just need you and your two other friends.." I approached with my hand extended and looking down. I felt a nudge on my hand and a small clomping of a hoof.

   " huh... they ain't wild... there has to be a farm around somewhere..." I say as a wrap a rope around the 3 horses and lead them to the truck. Callie already called dibs on the white one with freckles. Named her freck, short for freckles. "Cute" I say petting a large black horse. I kneel down checking the gender of both the other horses 1 girl and 2 males.

   John took the light brown male naming him fried chicken. KFC for short. " you are making me hungry John." I slapped his shoulder and look back at the large black steed staring back at me. It looks like me and him have an understanding. " Arion" the steed sputtered in happiness and turned around ready to give a ride.

"Now that's a cool fucking name." John said patting Arion.

" now. Callie before I allow you to ride freck, do you know how to ride a horse?" Freck was the smallest of the horses. I'm positive he is a mustang.

"Yea... my mom and dad used to have horses they taught me how...." Callie put her head down and spoke softly. " before all of this..."

" I'm sorry cal... I didn't mean to make you sad." I pulled her into a hug and she wiped her tears. "It's okay, I'm glad I had them and got to know them not just as parents but as friends."  She released me from our hug and tried to jump on freck. I chucked and hoisted her up handing her some rope to take control. John hopped up on his and smiled at me. It's been 30 days since he's genuinely smiled at me. I hopped on my horse and smiled back. " y'all wanna race?" I chuckled. " I'll win mines the smallest and it's a mustang." Cal said putting her long 4c hair up in a bun. I chuckled grabbing the rains I made out of rope. "3.... 2............. 1! Hya!" I laughed as we raced down the road and I stayed in first place getting to cocky I look over my shoulder and Callie sped up passing me, laughing. " I WIN!" Callie screamed.
