Alone and Scared

Chapter 36

Chloe's POV

Nothing happened over night which made me trust Kyle a little more. This guy is actually... Okay..

"Morning" I heard Kyle say from his tree. I was cooking beans over the fire for breakfast.

"Morning." I looked at him and saw him looking at me. "We should probably head back to the group."

"'The' group? Does that mean I'm part of it?"

"Not too sure at the moment. Like I told you, we also have a leader who is very strict." he nods at my words. We pack up and head back to the group.

•*•*•

The white church comes to view and I glance back at Kyle and whisper

"This is only temporary trust me. we used to have a place way bigger than this.stay here and I'll get the leader."

He nods and I walk out to the clearing and open the doors. everyone whipped there guns out and pointed them at me.

"Whoa it's just me." I say. I see dad in the corner just glancing at me. I look for Rick. once I found him I walked up to him and said,

"Hey uh. there is someone outside that I would like you to meet. please." I quickly added the last part in. He looked at me very hardly and nodded. he followed me out to were Kyle was.

"Don't freak out ok? He helped me Rick. Give em a chance."

Once Rick saw Kyle he grabbed his gun and pointed straight at his head.

"Rick." I say loudly and firmly.

"What's your name."

"Kyle, sir."

"How many walkers have you killed?"

"I haven't been counting sir."

"How many people?"

"Uh one sir."

Rick paused for a moment and stared hard at Kyle. I am also looking at Kyle. He's killed a person.

"Why?" Rick finally said.

"He was going to rape my sister sir." tears welled up in his eyes but he blinked them away.

I looked at Rick and Rick looked at me.

"He saved you? Helped you?"

"Yes. I probably wouldn't be here without him." I looked at Kyle once again and back to Rick. I could tell he was thinking.

"No..." He trailed off, "no."

"Rick. trust me on this one. please. He's my only friend."

Rick looked at me again and said firmly,

"I'm sorry Chloe but no." he says once again and walks back inside the church.

"Kyle--"

"I'm gonna go. See you in another life." he says and leaves.

"Kyle!" I yell after him. "Just stop for a second ok?!"

He stops and looks at me.

"Kyle, thank you."

He just stares into my eyes. I lean in and kiss him. His tone relaxes and he immediately kisses back. I smile into the kiss. His hands slipped around my hips and pulled me close. My hands find his hair.

I pull away softly and find him smiling.

"Sorry." I say with a small smile.

"It's ok." He smiles back. His pearly whites shining bright. But his smile faded. "what now?"

My smile faded also.

"I don't know."

"I guess I'm going then." he says. I hug him and he hugs me back and we stay there for a while.

"Thanks for everything Kyle. Promise me we'll see each other again?"

"Chloe, I promise." I kiss him on the cheek and he walks off. I turn around and take a deep breath. I rub my eyes and ruffle my hair. I slowly head back to the church, only to be slammed onto the walls of the church.

I let out a small gasp and find Klaus in front of me.

"Klaus."
