Walkers // L.H. + A.G.B

1.2

Ariana

"Run, Ariana, Run!" Luke screamed, running through the mall.

It has been two weeks since I brought Luke back, and I've been taking care of him and Ashton with my group. Ariel is growing thinner everyday. I don't even want to know how little I weigh.

We went out to get supplies for Ashton to make more of the vaccine somehow, but we have run into some walkers.

My feet keep stumbling beneath me and I can hear my stomach grumbling. My long brown locks are so greasy that you could smell me a mile away. My arms feel like twigs and snap as easily.

I halted in my tracks behind the group and sat down.

"Ariana?" Luke looked around then found me sitting.

"What are you doing?" Luke sat next to me.

"I don't want to do this anymore."

"Well, too bad. You pushed me before, now I'm gonna push you. Get up and just do it!" Luke yanked me up and dragged me until I used my feet.

"Why are you guys so behind?! Hurry up! I can barely carry Ariel!" Calum called back.

"Crap!" Niall yelled, as he turned the corner and smacked into a walker. Niall ran backwards immediately and Calum did the same. Ashton tried to keep up with everything. I turned around for the other way but just saw more walkers.

Luke grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I felt like he was just trying to make the time we have left full of hope, so i don't regret losing it all. But I don't care either way.

I looked in every direction but just saw walkers. Coming out of shops, bathrooms, the food court. All I heard was groans around me.

"No! No!!" Luke screamed beside me, hugging me.

"It was bound to happen, okay?" I said.

"No it's not! Ariana, we're not dead yet! That's something I realized is very important! If you're living and think you're already dead, you're just passing up the opportunity to survive by quitting!" Niall shouted.

"There's no way out." Ashton mumbled as we tightened the circle. The zombies were closing in.
Ashton wiped his eyes.

"Niall's right." I agreed, pulling my lips into a thin line.

"I agree but how can we survive?" Calum asked, tightening his grip on Ariel.

"They are so close!" I screamed, looking into the eye of a walker. It literally had one eye. My stomach twisted and i felt sweaty. I let go of Luke and re-did my pony tail.

"Anybody have a plan?" I screamed, trying not to throw up from the smell of decay completely surrounding me.

"No!" Luke answered with a shaky voice, wiping his watery eyes.

"How about you fight?" A quiet voice that i haven't heard in a while said.

"Ariel?" I turned over to see Ariel's head lifted up. Her face was covered in tears and her brown eyes were barely open.

"It's something, and the only thing at the level of nothing right now is our time! You guys better have knives." Ashton announced.

"If I die, or we all die, I'll see you guys. In hell." Niall assured, pulling out his knife with a cling.

"If we survive, I'm living." Luke told me.

"If we survive, I don't know."

Zombies were really close now. I could touch one in arm's length. I knew I had to work now. And I don't have much to work with.

"This is for Frankie!" I screamed, slashing a zombie.

"Mom!"

Slash.

"Dad!" I sobbed.

Stab.

"Alexa!"

Slash. Stab. Slash. Stab.
I kept repeating the cycle again and again. I zoned out.

I couldn't hear Luke calling me.

I couldn't hear Niall screaming for help.

I couldn't hear Ariel crying.

I couldn't hear Calum running away.

I couldn't hear Ashton screaming in pain.

I couldn't and I can't.

I dont even know??????????
