13 - Cassandra

(This chapter is dedicated to @PierceTheSiren_39. This chapter is also just going over what has happened so far since 10k has woken up.)

+ S A G E ' S P.O.V +

We are back on the road at last, Tommy is still marvelous at shooting and I'm still wary around Murphy and Cassandra.

I did stop wearing my hood, though, for Tommy.

Cassandra almost instantly acted like she was so excited he was awake and she wanted to spend time with him and wanted him to teach her how to shoot and aim.

Learn it yourself, princess.

Tommy said he didn't know how to teach, and that Addy would probably be more than helpful.

That was until Addy socked Cassandra in the jaw. I'll admit, I was kind of impressed, and she earned my respect.

They got into a fist fight, Tommy had to hold Cassandra back (which sort of shocked all of us because Addy is heavier and she's angry but I guess Tommy is a lot stronger than we thought.) and Doc went to explain to Warren.

Finally that witch is getting put in her place. Warren told Cassandra that she had caused enough drama and frankly she was tearing us all apart.

So Cassandra left, we aren't sure where but all we know is she left the same way we came, in the opposite direction of California. And that fact alone is enough to assure me that we can finally be a team again.

Murphy apologized, and he said that he'd own up to what he did and how he acted and he would bring something good to this group.

He could control zombies.

They listened to him. He's like a Z machine, they don't even spare us a glance when he's around- and I'm quite thankful for that.

I think we all needed a little more time to rest and eat a break from all of this zombie killing around here.

So we found a small town on the outskirts of Kentucky and settled down to get the necessities. It was shocking how much we found.

We scavenged much more than just what we needed. We found gas, food, water, blankets, clothes, shoes, ammo, weapons.

We even found some people. At first they were going to run us out for trying to take their stuff, but once they realized we were a stable, good group they asked to tag along.

Marceline and Jackson.

Marceline is my kinda chick, kinda tough and bitter but she doesn't show her emotions as much as I do, which made me scared to think that the group might want to replace me with her. Tommy might want to replace me with her.

But as always, 10k noticed something wrong and gently got it out of me, reassuring me afterwards that he couldn't possibly love anyone as much as me, not even close.

He was jealous though, he thought the same thing about me and Jackson. Jackson is this beefy guy with dark hair and dark eyes, kind of muscular too.

I had to calm Tommy down when Jackson started flirting with me and grabbed my ass but I got him to not shoot Jackson's face off.

The group was shocked to see how much it angered Tommy, he's usually this shy sweet kid who's always around to help- not an angry, impulsive scary guy.

But I thought it was hot, yeah I didn't want to see it every day but it was pretty sexy in my opinion.

Anyway, we got a trailer to work, so Doc, Tommy, Marceline, Addy and I took that while Warren, Murphy and Jackson took the truck.

Marceline, Addy, and I got along pretty good. It felt good to feel like a girl again.

Of course I was wrapped in Tommy's arms almost the whole time, but the girls thought it was cute. And frankly so do I.

We made it to another town, got more supplies and kept on that way for a while now.

We stocked up the whole bed of the truck with supplies. Of course we put a tarp over it so no one could see.

We also put up a bunch of crosses that are poking out of the pile so it would look like we are carrying dead bodies, instead of supplies.

So here we are, somewhere in Missouri trying to clean out a mansion. Addy, Marceline, Tommy, Jackson and I are cleaning out while Warren, Doc, and Murphy are down by the vehicles keeping watch.

We finally managed to get it clean, while I messed with the wiring and some batteries and got the garage to open and close without electricity.

So we pulled the truck and trailer in there since it's about as big as a football field (not literally).

Everyone got to have their own rooms, which was perfect. Well except for me and Tommy, we insisted on sharing a room. Warren also forced Murphy to share a room with her so she could keep her eye on him, and Doc took the room across from theirs so if Murphy got sneaky, Doc would be there too, since he's such a light sleeper.

Now all we have to do is sit back, and enjoy the ride...
