The scratch of decapitated rotter nails annoy the hell out of me and I quickly pull out my gun pointing it at the door. Andy stands before us "you guys", i put my gun away and turn to look at Andy standing dead in her tracks.Tear's fall down her face as she extends the stretchy fabric of her shirt revealing a pretty deep,ugly, scratch on her back "I didn't feel it, it must've happened while we were running. You know I have so Much adrenaline and it didn't hit me until we sat down " Ivy doesn't say anything,no words can describe the horror in which we see so Ivy says nothing , she just kisses Andy and wraps her arms tight around her neck trying to hold the tear flow back. "When the time comes, but right now is not your time ".Andy lays down in the corner in a dark area barely exposing the shiny, sweaty, skin that will soon rot into rotter skin,there's no way to save her,its all to late to go back now. The atmosphere is cloudy and it's hard to breath in the bitch black room. The only light source is a little lamp we took from the run down hospital.
Footsteps come down the hall,we grab our guns and take cover "Ivy "?
A voice calls out "James "? Ivy hugs a man who's about her height "Lucy this is James, he takes care of the armory at the resistance camp and he's also a scout /warrior "I shake his firm hairy hand. He has the best hazel eyes,it goes beautifully with his pale skin.
Later that night Ivy told me that his men and him were there to get us out,kinda like escorts that put their lives on the line. I approach James in a corner watching the streets through the sewer drains "so how are we gonna get out of here alive,because I don't know how Ivy will be after this all goes down. You and I both know that Andy's not going to make it and when she goes we have to be ready for just about anything, so please tell me how we're going to survive"?he turns to me and cocks his gun "I understand that your friend" ,"my mom"I snap "Andy is a mother" he just nods and continues"well I've known Ivy for a long time and I know that she'll hold it together,you and I both know that she's not your average person and I don't think that She'll let herself go like that.... Ivy's a survivor".
I don't say anything,well there's nothing to say so I just agree and walk away knowing that maybe Ivy may never be the same ever again.
