The Day We Became Human

Part 11- promise

Jude's POV

"Okay guys split into four groups by doing this we will cover more ground stick with your partners no matter what even if your split off from the rest of your group Melanie, Tyler, lyra, Sarah, jack, parker and Caitlin come with me we will go north. Group two go south group three go west radio in if you find anything if not this is the meet up point all meet back here in two hours."

we were out of mountain terrain and were heading into forest landscape which was considerably more dangerous seeing as there are loads more places to hide there could be loads of them and we wouldn't be able to spot them.

"what was that?" lyra stops and askes "did any of you hear that?" I didn't and judging by the rest of our faces they didn't either.

"No what is it?" I question.

"No its nothing just a twig it was probably one of us sorry for the paranoia." she smiled.

we carried on through the forest with no trouble although we did stumble across a few stray bones probably animals and one or two biters but other than that we were fine.

"This space looks clear. we should split up into fours to cover more ground." I insist if we split into fours I can keep a close eye on Melanie.

"Yeah okay me you Melanie and Tyler could keep going you guys can spread out." Lyra suggests.

"Okay." the others said in unison and set off we carried on forward.

Lyra like usual carried on in front till we couldn't see her which would annoy me because it was dangerous but she was so fearless that she was almost careless I ran after her leaving Melanie with Tyler.

"Lyra." I breath out. she turns around confused.

"You cant just go off like that we need to stick together." she looked at me with her brown eyes.

"Jude you have to learn how to let go do you no how beautiful this place is just look." I pause and just breath.

"Nope not doing anything for me. Back to what I was saying you can't just run off like that personally I would not be okay with you dying and I'm sure Noah and mother wouldn't be either so please just stay with us and keep your weird curiosity at minimum level."

"Ow! what the hell was that for?" the sting from the punch that I had just received from her hurt like a bitch I hate to say it but she'd probably beat me in a fight any day.

"That was for using my mother and Noah against me and insulting my heightened level of curiosity." I could tell she wasn't serious by the smirk that had just made its way through her face splitting it into two.

"You cant just abuse people Lyra." I whisper with a grin as I move my lips closer to her's that's when I remember our secret and turn around to see if Tyler and Melanie had caught up with us... they hadn't. Turning back around lyra was gone and I found myself smiling into the tree that lyra was pinned against.

Lyras POV

Running through the evergreen trees eyes closed I let the cold winters air batter my body and the sun ray that were split while passing through the trees dance on my skin.

I stop when I hear the groans coming from behind a thicket of trees I'm yet to pass through. Slowly, walking backwards to go and warn the others I bump into who I assume is Jude but when we come face to face its a biter dying to get a chunk off my skin i fumble for my knife stabbing it in its soft decaying skull that's when many others join.

slicing through them more and more pile on top of each other stumbling over the dead ones sprawled across the floor trying desperately to get to me . I'm forced to the ground by biters and I know that if I don't kill them that I will become one of them so I start to stab their heads with my knife and arrow heads blood decorating my face but when it becomes clear that they become to many I know that there is no way I'm making it out of this one.
