Just More Disasters

Katelyn's pov#

#3 days earlier#

''Get up'' Micheal says banging on the door to my room. When we arrived to Negan's, they took me out of the car, let me walked on my own thank god and we made our way inside the building. Most of the people where either cleaning and preparing their weapons or eating, others were probably on perimeter watch.

''Your back'' Was the first thing I heard when I walked into the room. The smell of cigars and alcohol drifted into my senses and almost made me want to puke. Let's just get this over and done with.

''He is waiting for you'' Andy says, this time dragging me by my arm and over to a separate area. Of course he is... I mean why else would I be here?

''Katelyn...'' I hear his voice say from behind. Oh god..

Bekky's pov#

#4 days later#

I stretched my arms over my head and let out a massive yawn. I just had a slumber yet I am still so very tired. I get up and out of bed and walk over into the bathroom and have a quick shower, once I was done I change walk back into the room. I always wonder how I have so many clothes then realize every time I or either someone else goes on a run, we seem to pick up more along the way and by some I mean a hell of a lot. I am style into a nice style outfit and when everything is free now, I guess I could wear anything I want. Although the world we currently live in now would beg to differ.

''Quickly, he is losing a lot of blood'' I hear a voice say hurriedly outside. I hurry down the stairs and open the front door harshly. My eyes catch sight of Andrew, Abraham and Eugene carrying one of the men who was on patrol at the gates. By the looks of it they were rushing to the infirmary. Danai was close behind with her katakana swang over her back.

''What's going on?'' I ask her, just now noticing the trail of blood leading behind the group of men.

''One of the men who was on patrol was bitten on the arm, he was patrolling the gates letting Steven and Aaron come back inside, a walker manage to latch on'' She walks up to me and says. I just stand there and nod. You would think living inside these hugs, thick walls would protect us from this but no. I mean even just standing around doing nothing but keeping watch, there is a huge risk of dying.

''There goes another goner'' Was all I said.

''No, Andrew is just going to amputate the wound'' Danai says, walking up the stairs and standing beside me. I just shake my head and move to step back inside the house.

''You came out'' she comments.

''There was commotion, of course I did'' Was all I responded with, stepping back inside.

''Come on a run, you need to get out and we could really use the extra help'' she asks nicely.

''Okay'' Was all that I needed to respond with. She looked genuinely surprised with my answer. I just gave a shrug, walking into the living room, grabbing my holster with the gun and knife already attached. I walk back out of the house and shut the front door closed behind me.

''You just leave your holster lying around?'' She asks as we begin walking down the road side by side.

''Well yes, it easier to get too, But I have three knives hidden in my room, One in the bathroom, two in the kitchen and an extra one in the spare bedroom, you know, just in case'' I say causing her to laugh. I smile as we make our way over to the gates.

''Danai, as usual always taker her time-'' Chandler began to say before he noticed me standing just slightly behind her. He quickly shuts up and flashes us both a smile. He turns to walk over to Norman and begin loading the car while I silently nudged Danai in the ribs, not to harshly.

''You didn't tell me he was coming'' I whisper.

''Does it matter?'' She asks rhetorically, moving to help them pack the car for the road. I stood there and watched as they were finishing up. Yeah it kinda does...

''Were going!'' Norman calls out. Andrew makes it around to us, of course I immediately but in and begin to ask questions.

''Is he going to be okay? What happened?-'' I begin before he puts his hands up to stop me.

''He will be fine'' He says, making my heart thrive with joy. He was going to live, that was enough. I nodded and walked over to the car, hoping into the back. Chandler was already on the other side behind the driver's seat, cleaning his knife, Danai was driving.

''Where are we headed?'' I ask as soon as Norman gets in the car after talking to Andrew for a few minutes.

''Food compound 20 miles up the road'' he responds, turning the motor to the vehicle on. I rest my head back and just listen to the gates beginning to open. I stare out the window as the gates shut behind us and we head into the world, the odd 'meat eating bastard' perking at the sound of our approach. I frown to myself, it was hard to be happy in a world like this.

''When we get there we stick together, clearing it out. Then we split and take on two different parts of the store, Norman and Bekky take east While Chandler and I take west, we meet in the middle'' Danai begins telling us her plan. She explains further as the car trip continues.

#20 minutes later#

Danai pulls the car over and we all hop out, covering the car with surrounding fallen down bits of trees and shrubs. We have completely covered the car and head inside. Norman and Danai were ahead. Norman drawn the attention to the doors, we waited a few minutes, nothing was inside. We opened the doors and rushed in, clearing what ever we could see. There was only a few rotten corpses on the ground, nothing more.

''Watch it'' Chandler says, grabbing my hand and pulling me back a few feet. I glance down to see one of them on the ground, not moving.

''Thank you'' I mumble, still staring at the ground. I felt his hand grip tighten on mine as Norman and Danai made their way over to us.

''Be careful'' Chandler whispers, letting go of my hand and walking over to Danai. They smiled and left leaving just Norman and I.

''Let's begin'' he says leading the way.
