The undead (JSE)

16.

P.O.V. Adelaide.
That day, Mark married Amy, there wasn't a big ceremony, it was just Mark asking Amy and promising each other to search wedding rings later. It all started to look like a big family. We hit the road right after we had breakfast.

"Sush." I say to Daniëlle who was talking to me. I lift my hand signaling everyone to stop walking and talking. I look at the woods.

"What is it?" Jack asks.

"I heard someone walking." I say. I lift my gun.

"Come out." I say. Nothing.

"It was probably nothing, let's keep moving." Jack says. I nod.

"I'll take the back." I say. I wait for everyone to pass me before I start walking. I keep my eyes open making sure we're not being followed.

P.O.V. Jack.
"Gotcha!" I hear someone scream, I turn around to see Addy dragging someone out of the woods. She throws him on the ground.

"Why where you following us?" She asks. He doean't answer. She grabs him by his collar.

"Why. Where. You. Following. Us." She asks through gritted teeth.

"Addy." I say. She drops him to the ground and I walk up to him.

"Y-you must be Jack, I'm Jordan, I have a really good reason to why I'm following you." He says. I look at him.

"You're captainsparklez, am I right?" I ask. He chuckles.

"Haven't been called by that name in ages, yes, I'm that guy." He says. I help him up.

"We have a camp, just a few miles back, it's secure, we have food, water, electricity." He says. Again...

"How do I know you're not lying?" I ask. He reaches for his bag.

"I can take you, but you have to believe me." He says. I eye the others. They're all exhausted. I turn back to Jordan.

"If this is a trap you're the first one to die." I say. He nods and with that we start walking again.

----

Soon we arrive at some sort of iron gates.

"Max, open up, it's Jordan." Jordan says. The big iron gates open and a group of 4 people surround us. Soon more walk up to us and we're soon surrounded by like 50 people. A gunshot sounds and I turn around to see Addy shooting some walkers.

"Are these the new ones?" A woman asks. Jordan nods.

"I'm Margot, welcome, to our safe zone." She says. I smike at her.

"Thank you." I say. They let us in and close the gates.

"I want to talk to all of you personally." Margot says. I step up.

"I'll go first." I say. She shakes her head.

"I want to talk to you last. I wanna talk to her first." She says pointing at Addy. I wanted to protest but Addy was already stepping forward.

"If I whistle, go." She whisper. I nod knowing I will not leave her alone. After about 15 minutes I hear a whistle.

"Go!" I yell shooting the people around us. As soon as everyone's out I get tackled to the ground.

"You can't escape us." The guy on top of me says. I hear a gunshot and the body goes limp.

"You okay?" I hear Addy's sweet voice. I nod. I take her hand and start running for the gates. We run into the forest. After a while we stop at a clearing.

"Why did you whistle?" I ask.

"T-they where cannibals, I-I saw people hanging in b-bags from the ceiling, t-they where missing limps, I-I was so scared." She says her eyes wide with fear. I pull her into me.

"It's okay, let's go see if we can find the others." I say petting her hair. She nods and takes my hand. We walk a few miles and whistle. Soon we hear gunshots.

"This way." Addy says pulling me along. Soon we arrive at a horrific scene. Walkers all around.

"No..." Addy says as her hand slips out of mine. She walks and falls to her knees, next to her brother who's sitting next to her sister who has a bite mark clear on her shoulder.

"Don't make me turn." She says.

"No, Danny please." Addy cries. She lifts her gun to her head.

"I love you so much." Addy cries.

"I love you too." Danielle says smiling at her siblings. I cringe when I hear the gunshot and Addy's soft cries. Arms wrap around my torso and I hug her back. It stays quiet for a while. Addy's and Robert's sobs are the only sounds you can hear.
