Forever Dead (On Hold)

Chapter Thirty One

Meg's P.O.V

In the distance I saw a struggle; I couldn’t quite make out who was there but by the looks of it they weren’t going to win this battle between them and the advancing zombies.

“We have to help them” I yelled at Ryan, trying to keep my voice down so not to alert the zombies. He stared at me like I was being stupid even though he knew fully well I wasn’t, I was being serious and more survivors would do us some good since I doubt we would find the rest of our group.

“Fine but if we’re attacked don’t blame me” I rolled my eyes at him. I watched him eagerly as he pulled an arrow out of the quiver I only just realised he had on his back. He quickly nocked an arrow when a piercing scream rang out from the group. “For fuck sake” Ryan muttered under his breath after his aim was knocked off course by the scream.

I was about to scream at him when the arrow whipped through the air, piercing the zombie and its feast in the head, killing both in a matter of seconds.

“Let’s go” I said quietly. Everyone was just as freaked as I was but didn’t bother arguing. We walked forever closer the gap between us was so small I was surprised when I felt the time move so slow as we walked along. The faces of the people came into view and I was relieved to say the least. I forgot about all my problems at that moment in time and ran towards the group.

“Rachel” Joe said happily once he caught sight of the brunette girl standing awkwardly next to her dead friend and the dead zombie. It was something from a fairy tale; however life can never allow a resolution so quickly.

“Where’s Kat?” Ryan questioned, confused at the lack of his sister. “Where is my sister?” he growled, grasping at the front of Alan’s t-shirt, pulling him off the ground. I watched as Alan began to tremble under the grip of Ryan.

“Let him go” I said calmly, hoping that he would actually listen and to my relief as well as Alan’s I’m guessing he put him down and walked away. “Now we need answers, where is Kat?” I asked gruffly. Dylan stepped forwards and wrapped his arms around me. I was confused at first but I relaxed into his embrace.

“I’m so sorry” Dylan whispered into my ear. I didn’t know what to say, I was totally confused, he walked up to me without a hello, or I missed you then wrapped his arms around me and began to apologise for no reason. I was about to speak, to question why he was apologising to me but somehow Alan beat me to it.

“She risked her life to save us all, she sacrificed herself to keep us alive and it turns out that without her we have no plan, no defence and we can’t survive as well as we hoped. We are so sorry for your loss but at least Kat died heroically and not by having her face chewed off by a zombie” I felt so empty, knowing the reason my best friend had died just took the wind out of my lungs. She was like my sister, I could never imagine life without her even if sometimes we bitch about each other, I could never really be apart from her. The hold around my waist tightened and I returned the hug, it was like I was being controlled because I couldn’t move myself away, I couldn’t control myself anymore.

Lamim's P.O.V

I never realised until now how much Kat actually meant to Megan, they were always bitching about each other after some stupid argument that would be resolved in a day. Sometimes it seems that they don’t accept it but they just say yes to get it over with, they have their disputes but they keep it to themselves.

“Lamim, you’re staring” Kyle whispered in my ear. I turned to face Kyle; I smiled briefly at him but wiped it off instantly, what is so happy about this? Meg’s crying on Dylan’s shoulder and god knows what Ryan is feeling, if that is his name.

“So where are you going?” Alan asked from the front of the group. I wasn’t expecting an answer for Ryan at all; I was expecting him to be the quiet type after such a loss.

“I know someone who lived near” he said simply, snarling at Alan, Kyle and I as he walked past. This dude is messed up.
