Bethyl Alternative Ending Book 2: My Apocolypse Lover

"W"

We didn't have to go far into the town to be able to see what had happened. The buildings were burned down, everything was destroyed.

We walked carefully, prepared to fight any walkers but there weren't any. From what we could tell the fire had happened weeks ago, how could we not have known? What could have started the fire?

There was nothing for us to  even search for, the town was burned down to the ground. We were all disappointed, "Hey guys" one of our men called to get all of our attention.

He stood in front of a wall, we walked to him and turned to face the wall he stared at, it read, "The Wolves Were Here".

"Are they...the same people that attacked us?" Phillip asked.

"Could be......come on, lets go. There's nothing left here" Jason said and we followed him back into the woods.

We walked with our heads down, dissapointed. The next near by town was farther and the farther we went the more dangerous things could get.

Then all of a sudden we heard a branch break and we all looked up and held our weapons pointing it in the direction we heard the noise.

We all stood still for a couple minutes waiting for anything to happen but nothing.

"Could of been a squirrel." Phillip said,

"Could of" said Jason putting his weapon down, "Lets go." he said.

We all followed cautisously back to the camp but we took a different route, a longer way. Jason wanted to be careful, just in case someone followed us back to the camp, we wanted to know.

Before we arrived he stopped us and said, "We're not telling anyone what we saw out there today okay? Lets just tell them we searched for supplies but didn't find anything. We don't want anybody freaking out about these so called 'wolves'." he said.

We all agreed, we didnt need our people to worry about anything right now. We just needed to assure everyone that we were safe and that everything was okay. 

But things were not okay, we had supplies but we weren't getting anymore, we had to come up with a plan. If these so called wolves returned we wanted to be strong but, if we went out farther whose to say we wouldnt get attacked on our way or that our people would suffer an attack while we were gone. 

It was risky and a hard decision to make. 

That night I noticed Jason talking to one of the other men, they were seperate from the group but I wanted to know what they talked about. We were surrounding a fire, and they stood outside the circle, so I walked around them and put my back towards them acting like I was doing something else.

"I know what I saw!" Jason said.

"You sure?" Phillip asked.

"Man, what did I just say?! There was someone following us! I know there was!" he said.

I was surprised, could there really have been someone following us the whole time?!

"All I can say is that we're not going out for a while. If we do, then we gotta keep our eyes open, it could be them." he said.

I couldn't help but feel a bit scared, if Phillip swore he saw someone following us we needed to be prepared, we needed to expect something bad.

I didn't say anything to anyone. Olivia had just started doing better after her sisters death, I didn't want to worry her.

The next day I woke up early, I wanted us to be safe again so I snuck out. I grabbed my crossbow climbed up one of the walls right before the sun came up and jumped. Luckily no one noticed me.

I wasn't sure what my plan was but I decided to go into the woods. I wanted to see them before they saw me, that's why I didn't go out the main gate. So I circled around our camp getting farther and farther as I walked. If there was someone watching us I wanted to be behind them.

I came closer to our gate when I heard something behind me. I leaned on a tree trying to hide, when it got closer I knew it was a walker, I waited for it to get closer then stepped out in front of it and buried my knife into his head. I pulled my knife out of his head then wiped the blood off my hand when I heard someone say, "Well, well".
