Outnumbered

Chapter Five

~Evan's P.O.V~

This is so stupid, why do I care if she dies, she killed my pets, but I can't help remembering her face when she did. She was about to cry, I should have asked if she was okay. I saw someone walking in the field and I noticed the grass near him moving back.

"Get away from me!" Someone yelled, I hoped it was Ally, I knew it was Ally.

I ran faster than I thought was possible as I got close I tackled the man, he was alive, he was older than 20. He tried to get away from me but he couldn't, I heard someone coming up behind me and I turned to look. I saw Ally, her face covered in blood coming from fresh cuts that go ear to ear, crossing over her nose and the tops of her cheeks.

She was crying, her eyes were red and tears were rolling down her cheeks. Her shirt was ripped so her stomach and arms showed. Bruised and cut. Her hair was messed up and she was shaking uncontrollably.

She just stared at the man, I wanted to get up and hold her, in my arms and tell her it'll be okay. She reached into her pocket and took out her knife. Instead of killing him she gave the knife to me. I clutched the knife in my right hand and stabbed him in the head. I didn't stop after just one stab, I wanted to stab him until I died, but Ally grabbed my arm.

I got off of him, you couldn't see any details of his face, he didn't really have a face anymore. I felt Ally's hand reach for the knife and I let her take it. I didn't look at her, I was scared to.

"We should get going it'll be dark soon," she said in a shaky voice. "Do you want to go in town and find a place to stay the night and pick this up in the morning?"

"Sure, lets go, " I said.

I felt bad for not looking at her, but when I look at her she is looking down so I only see the side of her head. We found a house, where I got my pets. We went in and walked straight into a room. When I came over before it was closed and I already had two walkers so I didn't bother looking inside. She walked in and sat on the edge of a bed.

She just sat there staring at a mirror. Then I saw it, pictures of her and one of my pets. She walked over to me and pointed at the man in the picture I was looking at, then saw her face in the mirror, she said nothing.

"He was my father, one of your walkers and the other one was my mom..." she trailed off, close to tears.

"If I knew they were your parents I wouldn't have done that to them... if I knew you were in this room I would've came in here and told you what happened." I whispered.

"That man...he....he was my neighbor, he tried to make me obey him...to be his pet...like what you did... but I wasn't already dead...he was going to kill me," she said holding back tears.

I stood silent I didn't know what to say, I walked over to the bed and sat down. She walked over to the closet and I saw empty hangers, boots, bags, and a square in the carpet that was out of place. She lifted it up and I saw a trap door. She unlocked it and waved me over, then climbed down a ladder attached to the side of the hole.

I followed her down into a cave. She flipped a switch and lights turned on. There's a little house in the corner with a garden and a clear pond. I wanted to ask how she made this but she started walking towards the house.

She opened the door and motioned for me to go in but I shook my head no. I grabbed the door and she walked in. The house lit up, a couch, a kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a room with a giant pillow on the ground which was probably a bed.

"You can sleep in the bedroom," she said. "I'm going to go swimming then I'm going to sleep on the couch."

"You keep a swimsuit down here?" I asked surprised.
