Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 24: Reunion

I woke up with the familiar scent of Nash filling my nose as I am laying on his chest. Sweat and blood. Though its not a pleasant scent, I still find myself nestling my head closer to his body. Sighing softly, I got up from my somewhat comfortable position. I stood there for awhile, admiring my boyfriend that I had learned to love over the few months and days we have been traveling together. 

I thought back to the days and moments when everyone was happy and relaxed. When Cat's guard was down, when Tate was smiling and laughing, when Rain and Daniel use to dance wildly for our entertainment, when Delilah use to act like a normal toddler instead of training, when Nash was joking and playing around with everyone, and when Storm use to be alive and breathing.

"What are you thinking about?"

I snapped out of my trance, giving Nash my attention,"You're not thinking about murdering me right?" I rolled my eyes and giggled,"No Nash. At least not today. Now come on the herd just passed and we got friends out there to find." He got up and ruffled his hair up,"Do you have any idea where to find them?" I turned around and smiled brightly at the blue eyed boy,"Nope! Now let's go!" He chuckled at my antics but still followed me out the door and into the abandoned streets of the open mall. 

We observed the streets, noticing a little map of the mall. We walked towards, trying to find any signs where our friends have gone. "Maybe we should go here." Nash pointed towards little theater. I nodded in agreement,"I'll try to find something to mark where we are." We searched around the map to find anything to mark our spot. 

"What about that?" 

I turned around and noticed there was a small sticker pack a few feet away. I smirked,"Good eyes Grier!"

He smiled,"Why thank you madam." He toke my hand in his and kissed it while winking at me. I blushed and punched him playfully. He winked and walked over to the pack of stickers. Once he received them and brought them back, he bowed and held out his hand,"Here you go my lady." I smiled and retrieved them,"Thank you kind sir." I picked them out and placed them in a circled around the theater area. As I'm looking through the pack of stickers, I come across stickers that are shaped as letters.

I took both an "A" and a "N" out of it and stuck it to the map near the circle. "Nice thinking, Smith." I winked at him and started dragging him towards the theater. As we were heading towards the theater, we saw some more maps. We placed more stickers on every map we find, signing it off with our first initials. We continued doing this until we ran out of stickers. "You think they'll find us, Annabelle?"

"Of course! We're like family, we will always find each other."

He gave me a soft smile, holding my hand against his. I placed my other hand against his cheek, bring his head down for a kiss. The kiss was short, but sweet. Once we pulled I gave him a peck of the cheek,"Come on Nash, we got to find our friends." We shared a smile and continued our way towards the theater. Once we reached the theater, we got our weapons out, ready to strike anything that comes in our way. I placed my hand on the handle, looking back at Nash to see if he's ready. With a nod of his head, I opened the door, coming face to face with a gun. 

"Ann?"

"Cat!" I dropped my gun, bringing her into a tight embrace. "Thank God you're okay, Cat." "I'm glad you and Nash are okay." I pulled away from the hug to find everybody else behind her. As I looked back, I saw the biggest and smuggest smirk on her face. "What?"

"So, you and Nash were alone for the night. How was he down there?" I gawked at her, not believing what she just said. "Did you just-" "Yes I did." I could feel my face burning up, peeking over her shoulder to see Nash playing around with Delilah. I mentally sighed in relief, knowing that he hadn't heard anything Cat had said. "So? How was he? Was he big in size or-" I slapped my hand over her mouth to stop her from talking. My face was probably red as a tomato"Shut up!" She wiggled her eyebrows at me before licking my hand. I pulled my hand away in disgust,"Ugh that was disgusting, you need to wash your hands more often." I rolled my eyes,"Gee thanks for the very useful advice. I'll keep that in mind whenever I find soap and clean water." "Stop trying to change the subject! How was the motion in the ocean?" 

I face palmed myself, knowing she will never give up. "We didn't do anything, I swear." She looked at me in disbelief,"Oh come on! Did you at least catch a glimpse of Nash Junior?" "Oh my god!" I groaned,"Nothing happened! You're so embarrassing!" She punched me in my arm playfully,"What is family for?" I Threw my arm over her shoulders, dragging us to our friends. I broke away from our embrace to socialize with my new found family, only to be dragged back into Nash's chest. "What were you and Cat talking about?" Feeling my face burning up, "Nothing!" I squeaked. 

He chuckled lowly while nestling his head in my neck, kissing it softly. I bit my lip to contain the soft moan that threatens to come out. "Don't start something you can't finish Grier," I whispered before pushing his head away, stopping his attack on my neck. I turned around, giving him a wink before heading back to my friends. 

"Tease," he mumbled.

I giggled softly but continued on my way. As I neared them, Cat caught my eyes and smirked. She winked at me and I returned the gesture,"I see you got him all flustered." Everyone around her chuckled while I rolled my eyes,"Shut up." All of a sudden I almost lost my balance, a small beast had attacked my legs. "Mommy!" "Sweetheart! I miss you so much!" I picked her up, bringing her into a tight embrace,"I'm so glad you're okay." "I'm fine! Cat, Rain, Damian, and Tate protected me."  I glanced at everyone, mouthing a "thank you" to them. They all gave me a thumbs up and I laughed. I put Delilah down, and giving my new family another glance. 

"I'm glad I have you guys with me."

"So are we."
