Spun

chapter two

cassie pulls me away from his body hugging me close to her " I LOVED HIM." i roar "Shh." cassie says calming me down slightly and bringing me to the Rv and setting me down on the seat and leaving me in it making sure to not let me out, i freak out, rocking back and forth crying and hitting my head for being so stupid. I look out and they buried him already. I walk outside and stand by the grave crying still, I didn't know a human could cry this much, I think to myself. "After this night we are moving camps." I say " But hann-" "No, we are moving camps." i say

The night went as it would, accept I didn't sleep, i couldn't, not without him, i know we are 16, but he kept me safe, he loved me, and now he's gone. We pack up all of our stuff pretty quickly after chipping away the ice in the hole and putting it in a cooler for the deer and other things that need to be refrigerated.

We headed towards washington,a long ride. we had gotten to a pretty big house, before we got flagged down by someone on the road, this was after about a week of driving, and i'm still in shock of what happened, but i carry on. "Hannah wanna check it out?" Jc asks stopping, i nod and walk out before anyone could protest "Woah, i expected the leader to be a bit older, but anyway, there is a town not too far, alexandrea, we are looking for other survivors, and young women and men could be of help, how many do you have?" the guy asks " four, but including my dog, five, we lost one about a week ago." i say, my stomach tightening at the thought of it " i can tell you loved him deeply. but if you'd give me and my partner a ride then we'd be able to guide you to our town." he says showing his partner behind him. "we have to take precautions, but it's fine with me." i say pulling out zip ties "Hands." i say, they hold out their hands and i tie them together with the zipties. " onto the rv."i say. "gladly." the smile nicely and hop onto the bus "they are taking us to their town, alexandria." i say " it's about an hours drive from here." one pipes up telling jc the directions, he follows them, and we get to a gate "this it?" i ask "yup, now if you'd undo our wrists then we could let you in." the one i talk to before. "oh and our names are Matt, and my partners name is dean." he finishes, i untie him and dean and they get out, and talk to the person on gate duty, and the gate opens up and we drive in. we park off to the side and get out. " weapons in the barrel over here safty on knives covered." they say, we listen but with precaution i put everything i have, but my switchblade which i hid in the back of my jeans, in the barrel, "Ron, carl search them." i hear a gravely voice say "on it." ron replies heading over to me, patting me down "Boy if you go anywhere my butt i will personally slap you." i say incase he finds my blade, of course being a boy, he decides to pat me down even there and finds my blade, he whispers in my ear "sneaky, i like that." before throwing the close knife in the barrel, of course i'm shaken up a little, travis had been my best friend and i took the leap of faith before asking him out a year prior, i've never had a guy flirt with me. "found a knife on the blonde one." ron says "found a throwing one on the other girl." carl says "any on the guys?" the older male asks "nope, they know how to cooperate." ron says "take them to dieanna and carol." he finishes "girls to carol, guys to dieanna." they not and take us to a house. "you will have questioning, it will be recorded and saved, got it?" ron asks us. we nod. he let me in the room first "please, do sit" the woman i'm guessing named carol says. "im carol, and you are?" "Hannah." i say The questioning went on for a few moments and tn i was let out "take them to the house next to your's ron." she replies, he nods bringing me to the house "so whats with all the precautions?" i ask "well believe it or not blondie, we have rules." he says "Nice try hiding the blade in the back of your jeans." " hey gotta try something to be safe." i shrug, "trust me is plenty safe here." "and by the way my name's not blondie, it's hannah." i say crossing my arms " Whatever, heres your house for you guys, i'm next door if you need me, just knock and my mom's probably going to be home and i'll be in my room." he says "kay." i reply going into the house "oh hey hannah, here's the keys." he says tossing a jangling pair of keys to me. "thanks." i say heading in as he head back to the other house to get the others. "The others came back "I already got my room, go call your guys rooms." i say looking around and seeing a faucet, i try turning it on, hot water. It works, i gasp, and go up to the bathroom with a shower in it and turn it on, and laugh happily, i go into my room and find a shirt that says 'Captain america." in blue lettering with a cartoon of him on it and a pair of black jeans and converse "hm my size, cool." i mutter and bring them with me to the bathroom. i take a long needed shower, my hair turning back to it's ash blonde all the mud and stuff washing down the drain, if only the memories would too. i get out dry off and see a hair dryer, and try it, it turns on "solar energy!" i yell happily drying my hair then changing into the cloths, "Hey maliki tell the others the showers work and that i'm going out for a walk." i say taking my keys with me and walking out of the door and onto the pathway outfront, walking around town, until i see an opening in the bushes in the middle of town,"hm a lake." i mutter to myself "Yeah, it's really nice." i hear ron say, i jump a bit "what the hell." i say "jumpy eh?" he laughs "shut up, i'm new here and when im new im skittish okay?" I say calming down "wanna go sit by the lake?" he asks. "yeah." i say as we walk "so, what happened before you guys came here?" ron asks as we sit down "well we were on the road for about a week or so, syphoning gas from stray cars and sometimes we had a pas pump her or there that worked because the generator had kicked in after they had fled the area, before we left, um-" i choke on my words " we lost someone, Travis actually, i had been dating him for almost two years, and he decided to go into the woods after we had shot some stuff, and a walker bit his neck. He died in my arms." i say with no emotion, just staring at the lake " see, sorry for your loss." he replied, then he, he hugged me,i hugged back. This was the first time I had gotten consolation from someone in the town, or anyone really. My group just left it alone. We let go "T-Thanks." i say my voice shaking, i just burst out crying on him, the only time I had cried was when he had passed, Why am i crying on this stanger? I barely know him yet...I feel safe with him. I think to myself, while crying still, he hugs me and rubs my back.
