Running for them

Control

Mia's POV

She walked outside quickly trying to calm herself down. It always works, the whole 'going outside by myself' thing so I just let her do it and sat down in the table again trying to finish my meal, but when I took my eyes off the plate I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

"What?" I said as loudly as a I could since my mouth was filled with food.

"What do you mean what?! Your sister over there tried to kill me! And you're just gonna sit there and eat?!" Gretchen said whisper-yelling at me scared that Macy would come back. She tried to hide that she was scared but the way her eyes moved from me to the door extremely fast you could tell. Anybody with a brain obviously.

"You do realize what your sister almost did right?" Lucy asked with concern in her eyes. This always happened. Macy will have some tipe of violent break down because of something someone said and they would all look at me suspicious that she did the same to me. Bastards.

"Listen, my sister has quite the temper ok? She said she knew people from the military and you think it would be ok if Gretchen over here wished death among them? Really? Yes. I do realize what Macy did, and I would've done the same." I stated firmly wanting to make a point.

"Wasn't her name Ace?" Dan asked suspiciously. His hair apparently was once a buzz cut but it grew out a bit which is a good look on him. Especially with the hazel eyes. Ok Mia calm down your hormones he's like eighteen.

"Her name is Macy. Only family can call her that. Ace is the name for everyone else to call her" I clarified sitting back down avoiding his stare. Ok Dan you're not making it any easier on me right now.

"I think you guys should leave" at this point I was angry that Gretchen was even talking to me but I brushed it off. Macy thought me that. She should take her own advice now that I think about it.

"We'll leave in the morning, it's your choice if you want to leave with us or not" Macy suddenly appeared behind Gretchen responding to her statement.

"How would we go? You said your car is full of equipment." Lucy asked considering Macy's offer.

"I saw a car a couple minutes away from here. If you decide to go I'll wire it so it can be used without the keys" Macy answered as she sat down to her spot ignoring Gretchen's glares. I respect her for that. Her control. Well, you know after the whole 'violent break down' thing she has control.

"We'll consider your offer" Helen said while looking intently at Gretchen.

The guy I know as Warren was starting to creep me out. He keeps looking at everything quickly. I think I know him from somewhere but I don't really know. I have to tell Macy about this before I forget.

"Alright time to hit the hay everyone! Zara today is your day to stay watch up front and Warren stay out back. Goodnight everyone." Helen said taking a hold of Lucy's hand and walking upstairs. Also, who says 'hit the hay' anymore?

"Mia, did I go too far? Again?" Macy said as she sat next to me once everyone left.

"You did what your instincts told you too, but you have to learn to control yourself" I told her trying to not make to much noise. We were at the back side of the house so that mean we're closer to the forest. A sound out of place and we would be surrounded by the infected.

Macy nodded taking in what I told her and laid down on the blankets Lucy told me to sleep on when Macy was eating.

We laid down and closed our eyes trying to sleep until we heard a car being started. A car? There's no cars out here what cou-

"Oh shit!" Macy stood up so quick that she tripped over the blankets. She recovered quickly and began running towards our car outside. I stood up taking my gun to see what was happening and then I heard a gun going off. Macy didn't have a gun. Zara had a bow and arrow so who could have- Warren. I ran outside as quickly as my legs let me and then I saw it. The body.

"What's going on he- oh my god what the hell happened here?!" Lucy and all the others came downstairs to take in the scene in front of us. Macy and Warren were laying on the floor. What the hell. I walked slowly towards the side of the car where the bodies were and I saw it. The gun wound on Macy's leg and a slash showed on Warrens neck. He tried to kill her. I was suddenly pushed to the ground by someone and when I turned around with the urge to punch them, it was an infected. Shit shit shit shit. The infected let out a loud screech as it reached for my arms. Oh god shit shit shit. I reached towards my sisters blade and stabbed it in the head quickly. I stood up and realized that we were going to be surrounded. The gunshot made them come here. Fucking Warren.

"Mia?" Macy said trying to open her eyes. They were coming too quick though.

"Everyone run!" I said picking up Macy quickly and pulling her into the house, but something made her fall. I look back quickly to see that one of those things had grabbed her ankle and was biting at it. I grabbed the knife from earlier and stabbed it quickly moving my sister up to the house again. I got in with the help of Dan and Helen closing the doors behind us.

"Everyone check every opening to this house quickly and close it tight with something!" I told everyone as they hurriedly moved around the house. I was trying to focus on Macy and trying to keep her awake. When she was shot she probably fell down and hit her head on the car.

"Dan, Greg move the table and jam the door with it" Lucy instructed them as I stood by the door putting pressure on Macy's wound. They did as she said and sat down. We don't know when they were gonna leave, but I knew that we won't be leaving tomorrow morning.
