Running Alive

Chapter 2.11

Michael's POV:

I saw Ghiel being shoved roughly by Tristan back here in our cell. Luke shot a glare at him and he didn't mind and locked the cold metal door. "Hey what did you do?" I asked her. I could tell she's nervous at my question, because as she walked to us her body stiffened, but why? She sat down next to Luke and Zayn and took a deep breath. Everyone is now looking at her, which made her even more nervous. "Uhmm... I... Tried to sneak out." She said with a smile. "Why didn't they like, hurt you? Cause you know that's the consequence of people trying to escape, right?" Joyce said with a curious look on her face. "Uhh... Maybe they're tired because uhmm... Maybe they went hunting?" Ghiel said.

I don't know if she's lying or not but I really wanna know.

"Why are you like that?" Sandra asked. Ghiel gave her a quizzical look. "You're pale and shaking. Did they try to feed you to walkers?" Sandra answered. Ghiel shook her head. "Then what?" Sandra spoke. She mumbled something under her breath, -which I couldn't make up- and answered, "I-- You'll find out soon."

Curiosity kills... But what did she mean by that? Find out what? Is this the end of us? Are we going to die? So many questions circling 'round my head.

We looked at her, frantically wanting for answers, but she went to one of the mattresses in the cell and after a few minutes, she fell asleep... We waited for a few minutes for her to completely sleep and we talked.

"Did you really guys think that she tried to escape?" Sandra said in a low voice. We saw Ghiel flinch a bit and we huddled closer, "I don't think so, Sandra. I mean look, guys, that metal door could only be opened from the outside. And how in the hell did she snatch those keys?" Toby said, almost whispering. "She's up to something, guys and the only way we'll know is that soon she's saying. For now, let's stay alert and probably, get some rest. Try not to worry about it though." Zayn said and he crawled to his bed. The others did the same and I did too and beside me was Sandra.

"I hope it's not what I'm thinking of." Sandra said as she leaned her head on my chest, probably because it's cold in here since the winter is getting worse. I rested my head on hers and wrapped her in my arms and asked, "What are you thinking though?" She stayed mute for a few seconds and finally spoke, "That someone will leave." choking at her words. "Nonsense. Why would anybody in here will leave? Besides, we've already had enough of James' bullshit. Who would want to be with that guy anyway?" I told her in a reassuring way. "Well Liam, Louis, Alyssa, Ash, and the others are with him." She said and I put my hands in the air in defeat.

"Well, let's rest. We do not know what'll happen tomorrow." I said as I yawned and she did too as my eyes felt heavy and let sleep overwhelm me...

Ghiel's POV:

I woke up at like two in the morning since I can't sleep due to the fact I made such a deal with James. I don't know what James will do and I'm seriously hoping that no one will get hurt. But since Luke is here, I guess it's gonna be one heck of a fight. If it comes down to that, I'll put an end to it by fighting him.

I don't want to fight him because I love him. But I have to and I don't have to say why.

A few hours later...

"Wake up! James is outside!" Louis said busting through the metal door with Liam, yelling. It's time... They groaned and didn't get up. Louis's face turned red as he loaded the pistol and shot it through the ceiling. Everyone instantly shot up straight, even me, and held out our hands for cuffs. "James said no handcuffs this time." Liam said as we walked outside through the semi lit hallway going down. "Where are you taking us now?" Michael groaned as we met Alyssa, Ashton, and Tristan half way through the last flight of stairs. They didn't answer and Michael rolled his eyes.
