The Living Dead (walking dead fanfic)

chapter two

(Danni)

I was walking with Gaby and Brandon. We were walking back to ride aid to see if we can find any medicine. We walked through the broken glass on the store doors. We heard snarling. Gaby tightened her grip on her base ball bat and me held my knife closer, ready to strike. But then....I heard a scream. I whirled around and saw a walker teeth deep (get it) in Brandon's shoulder. I screamed and killed the walker. Brandon fell to the floor crying. I knelt down beside him, "I'm sorry" I said. I took his gun and shot him in the head.

I cried all the way back to the house. Gaby plopped down in a chair. "There are too many walkers. We need to leave. Now" She said. "Gaby...Huntter is in no condition to travel. And neither is Elijah" I said. I looked from Huntter to Elijah. "What's wrong with Elijah?" Emma asked. Her blue eyes filled with worry and wonder. "He's 10 and hasn't been outside this house. It would be too hard. And Huntter's ankle is still fucked up. Elijah is autistic. He'd never understand it" I protested. "We'll leave them both" Gaby said. My eyes filled with shock and anger. My blood started to boil. "Leave my little brother?" I asked through clenched teeth, "If he will hold us back" Gaby growled. "We'll be ready Gaby" I said and went to pack out stuff.

*******7 months later*******

I climbed the later into the tree house we found and laid out on the floor. Huntter scooted closer to me. "What?" I asked, not in the mood to talk as usual. Gaby looked at me. "are you ok?" she asked. I shrugged. My whole family was dead and so was the only person I ever loved. "Where's Larry?" I asked. "He's out getting our dinner" Emma said. I nodded. "But shouldn't he have some one with him?" I asked. Larry always goes out alone, but now I think we should stop letting him do that. The trap door opened and a bag was put on the floor. Larry appeared seconds later. He pulled himself inside and close the door. Larry had short blond hair with professor glasses and green eyes. He had freckles head to toe. "Sorry it took me longer than usual. Did you find anything Danni?" He asked. I shook my head no. It seemed like ever one raided the stores even though it seemed the five of us were the only people left on earth.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked to the right and saw Huntter. I sighed and brushed his hand away with my own. I pulled Elijah's shirt out of my bag. I held the blood stained thing to my chest. I grabbed his Alex the lion toy and tightened my grip around it. Tears slipped out of my eyes. I put everything back In my bag. I threw hand whips at every one and then pulled one out for myself. After that larry threw a twinkie at every one then gaby passed out water bottles.

I ate quietly then fell asleep.

I woke up close to Huntter's face. I jumped up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around. It was literally the crack of dawn and everyone was still asleep. I yawned. I heard snarling. I sighed and threw my head back. I was tired of killing walkers. I was tired of being on the run. I was tired of crying. Having to sneak around. Having to stay up late to take watches. Gaby sat up. "You want me to get it?" She asked. I shook my head. I crawled to a small hole in the floor of the tree house. It was only two and they were walking away from us. It wasn't a big deal.

I sat up and looked at everyone laying on the hard wood floor of the tree house. Probably gonna get splinters. We all deserved more than this. Even Larry is a nice person. Heck, Huntter is two. No matter how much of a jerk he can be I guess he's alright. We all should all be care free kids. But instead we're scarred, traumatized children. Huntter sat up and looked at me. "You ok?" He asked. I just shrugged. The truth was. I'm not ok. And I don't think I ever will be. Not after watching....

"I'm fine" I lied. I wanted to cry but I wasn't going to. Gaby would kick me out of the group if she thought I was weak. I looked down and let a couple tears slip out. "Everyone up" Gaby said. I whipped my eyes and stood. Everyone sat up and got ready to go. "We scavenge the house then we hit the road. No screwing around" She said. We all got our back packs. We got out of the tree house and headed inside the house that it was in the back of.

we were on the road soon, walking as quietly as our feet would allow us. in the middle of the empty road that was littered. I walked along side Huntter. "Where did you think Brandon went? Heaven or Hell?" He asked. "I don't even know. Cause sometimes he was an angel and sometimes he was just pure evil" I answered dryly. "I think he's in hell" Huntter said. I sighed. A tear rolled down my eye. I didn't want to talk about Brandon. "Just shut up Huntter!! Do us all a fucking favor and shut up!!" I yelled. Gaby turned to me. "How about you both shut up before you make us walker dinner" Gaby whisper shouted, I sighed and sped up. Walking next to Larry. I don't know how much longer I can take this.
