How I Survived The Dead

Bensgrove

The man put Logan in the trunk of his truck and I sat in the passenger seat. The man had put his foot on the pedal and we sped down the highway.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Will." He replied.

"Where are you taking us?" I demand.

"To my group. You kids will be safe there." Will replied.

"Where Beth?" Judith asked.

"Beth has gone to get food." I lied.

"Who is Beth?" Will wondered aloud.

"The boy you shot... Beth is his girlfriend. She had gone to get food and never returned." I say.

"I'm terribly sorry about the boy!" Will said.

"I'm sure you are." I said dryly.

It was a silent ride. The drive was short. I didn't observe my surroundings. Will and I ran from the truck and we picked up Logan. We brought him into a large house. A doctor had taken Logan and ordered me to leave. Once I leave the building...

"Emily!" A voice cried.

Two arms wrapped around me. It was Katlynn.

"We thought the group was dead!" Katlynn said.

"We?" I ask.

"Daryl and I." Katlynn explained.

"Where is Glenn?" I wonder.

"We lost him. Where is the rest of the group?" Katlynn asked.

"The group is dead. It is just Logan and I." I explained.

I looked around. The place was almost like Woodbury but older. We were in a sort of pioneer town. The houses were all made of wood. There were many gardens.

"Who runs this place?" I ask.

"Ben." Katlynn said.

"That would be me." A voice came from behind us.

"Hi. My name is Emily." I greeted.

"Welcome to Bensgrove. We named the town after me." Ben said.

Ben seemed very similar to Phillip. I knew I should keep a close eye on him.

"Where could I stay?" I ask.

"With me, if you'd like?" Ben replied.

"Thank you." I say.

Our conversation was stopped by someone's yelling.

"What the hell is going on?" Ben demanded.

"This damn asshole thinks he could do my job better!" Merle said.

"Hey, man. You'd better fuck off!" A man yelled.

"You'd better be polite to the man with the gun." Merle laughed.

"Merle, go on and protect the town. And you, go work." Ben ordered.

Merle and the man walked away from each other.

"Sorry about that. Merle is always threatening people." Ben apologised.

"It's fine." I say.

"Now, let me show you to our room." Ben concluded.
