The Last Stop

Chapter 2 - Mistake

TW: talk of blood, flesh and death

After walking for about 20 minutes you and Jack got to the train station scanned in and are now waiting for the train to arrive.

"Crisps or chocolate?" He asked standing in front of the vending machine that was on the platform.

"You pick, you know my favourite" she said staring at her phone

He put in his money and picked up your favourite from the machine, then walked over to you holding it out. "What you looking at?" He said quickly glancing at your screen before opening his bag of crips, grabbing two and shoving them in his mouth. "This news article about people going mad and eating others" she said with a blank yet worried look. "Oh don't worry about it, they have just made the article to scare you, there is no such thing" He stated.

Around 5 minutes later of you reading article after article and him trying to get the last Pringle of out the can, the train arived. Jake picked up your work bag and you both got on the train. You both got onto the topic of ideas of what to have for dinner, work and family, till the train suddenly stopped in a tunnel.

The brakes of the train screeched, causing a high-pitched pain in your ears as you covered them.
Everyone on the train, including both of you, had a moment of silence trying to work out what happened. "Baby?" Y/N said a bit worried. "It's ok hun we will figure out what is happening?" as he looked around trying to see while also trying to stay strong for you. "Its probably just an accident or something like that"

After what felt like around an hour, no progress had been made. All the people standing had sat on the floor which included both of you. Jack was sat with his back to the door and you were in between his legs as he played with your hair to try and relax you. Different people were trying to get a hold of friends to let them know they were going to be late, others were pacing up and down.

"How long is this going to take" you say putting your head back on his shoulder. He kisses your temple and puts his hands around your waste. "Not sure," he said.

That's till there was a loud 'BANG' that came from the side of the carriage, met with scraping sounds where the guy was clawing at the side of the cart.

A man who was in just a plain t-shirt and jeans walked over to the door opposite from you and looked to see what it was. "There is a man on the tracks" he said fairly loudly, causing 2 other people to come over to try and push open the doors to help the man in. After a few minutes of pushing, the man put his hand out to reach for the man.

The person on the tracks grabbed his hand and got pulled onto the train. But, what was a nice gesture ended up being the start of a tragic turn of events.

The guy (who was on the tracks) suddenly turned around and bit into the man's arm causing blood to spit onto the other two people and all along the walls. Y/N and Jack shot up in absolute horror at what you both have just witnessed. The man screamed in agony as the walker pushed him against a wall and peeled the flesh off of his bones.

The 5 other passengers scream and try to get as far away as possible, banging on the train and hiding behind chairs. In complete shock, you freeze. Luckily, Jack grabs you and pulls you as far away as possible and sits you both in a corner with Jack guarding you the whole time.

"Omg...Omg...Omg..." Y/n says in shock, eyes stuck in the floor and the small dots of blood that were on your clothes. " Hey, hey hunny, baby look at me" he says pulling your head up to look him in the eyes. The man still screaming bloody murder in the background as 2 people managed to kill the walker and try to stop the bleeding. Jack covers your ears to try and help you drain out the sounds while also looking at you in the eyes.

He sat in the corner with you, hugging you tight to make you feel safe, but it wasn't working, your beard felt like it was going to come out of your chest, and your hands were shaking vigorously. Jack had his chin or your head and was keeping an eye on down the carriage where the guy was bleeding out and very slowly fading out.

This was it...
where you will die.
