Apocalyptic Love

Chapter Seven- The Girl With Her Gun

Following on from Chapter Six

Rick- ".... Do you want to be here?"

Emily- "Yes.... I do"

.....................................................................................................................................

Rick and the group started moving towards the house in the back, all but Elijah and Carl.

They were staring at each other; Carl had a look that I had never seen before on anyone, Elijah had a look like he wanted to kill. I didn't know what was going on, I felt like a lost girl who had just walked in on a boxing match.

(CARL'S POV)

I imagine grabbing her curved blade that was strapped just above her mid thigh, rapidly slicing it through the air and colliding it with Elijah's Throat before the blood gushed out.

I hate him, If only he knew how much I did. You see I know what he is and I know what he was. He's a Hunter, yet my father can't see that but I can. I could feel him scanning Emily with his eyes.

A hunter resorts to cannibalism, due to, ironically being terrible hunters. There known to eat their own children to survive.

The group left me, Elijah and Emily alone, Daryl was watching as he was taking in his last cigarette. My eyes then caught Elijah who was walking up to Emily, I took two deep breaths as I was nearly about to reach for Emily's Curved blade. However her hand faintly touched the lower part of my back, it was like she knew I was angry. Elijah reached out for the other hand, taking her soft hand into his own, bowing as he held her eye contact. I watched his lips brush her knuckles lightly whilst taking in her scent.

Elijah- "Pleasure to meet you Emily"

I knew then I wanted him dead even more.

(EMILY'SPOV)

Who the fuck is this guy, I wipe the stain of his sarcastic wet lips on my jacket.

First he makes me out to be a girl in front of the group and then decides to kiss my hand like its some pathetic period drama.

I knew then Id be the first in line to place my knife through his skull if he was turning. However I get the feeling Carl would be the first one.

Rick shouted over- "Are you three having a party or are you coming"

Carl- "Where coming"

Elijah focused on the pair of us, I think he was realising that he was about to step into something that could cause trouble however he seems like the guy who wouldn't care.

Elijah muttered- "Nice knowing you"

I started to realise that it was a threat.

Emily- "Speak up...my gun might hear you"

Elijah braced forward, I quickly reached for my knife. Carl pounced in front of me, quickly shouting "BACK OFF" towards Elijah.

Elijah stopped. He started walking back, whilst staring me down.

Elijah- "Around here, your just a Girl who knows shit about Guns"

I laughed

Emily- "Well, around here you must be the Girl, who doesn't know shit"

Carl bursted out laughing, I could see Elijah was beginning to get pissed off.

He started to turn around, to follow the group into the house.

Emily- "Well...he seems like a great guy"

Carl began smiling at me.

Carl- "He's an ass... Come, follow, Its about time we know more about you"

Great. Don't the group know about me already

I followed Carl up to a house. The house was lovely, it reminded me of when I was younger. When my mum would drive me to school, and I would gaze out the back seat window and see all of the houses in the suburbs. Each house where painted blue like the sky, and each had a white picket fence.

The last time I saw a white picket fence, it was when my mum was plunging a piece of it through the body of my 5th grade English teacher.

I turned around to the see the life that I was leaving behind, I wasn't alone anymore...
