Stronger than before...

Rescue

"Oh my god" I said painting for breath as I stopped running

I couldn't breathe, my ribs were killing me, my vision was getting blurry from my concussion, I was shaking from the lack of food and water in my system.

"I can do this" I said as took a couple steps forward

I looked around, I could see two doors at the end of the hallway, it looked like it led outside.

"Please" I whispered still out of breathe

I started running again until I got to the door, I didn't even hesitate to open it.

I walked outside, there was a whole line of motorcycles and a truck.

Where was Tyler and Pierce? And that guy Jesus?

Oh my god... was this all a hallucination?

I walked over to one of the bikes and lifted the seat up to where people could store things.

"Jackpot" I whispered as I saw a gun

I grabbed it and checked to see if there was any ammo, it had seven bullets left.

"Clem?!" Said a voice nearby

I turned around and saw Tyler, a bearded dude and Theresa coming out another door in the building.

"Tyler!" I said happily with the biggest

I walked over as fast as I could to him and he ran over to me and hugged me.

I groaned in pain a little bit.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" Tyler asked as he pulled away

"I will be" I said smiling

"Clem?" Said Theresa as she came up behind Tyler "I'm sorry, I tried to look for you-"

"Hate to interrupt this" Said the bearded guy "But we gotta go now!"

"Who the hell are you?" I asked him

"My names Paul" He said "Paul Rovia, but my friends call me Jesus"

I gave Tyler a confused look.

"I'll explain later" said Tyler "Pierce is parked about half a mile away from here and we need the head start"

A mile? I couldn't make it a mile, not with my ribs.

Wait... Pierce could drive?

"Come on" Said Paul as he started running towards the gate

Theresa followed him, then Tyler then me.

It was so hard me for to keep up but I tried my best.

Once we were out of the compounds territory we took a shortcut through the woods.

"How much farther?" Theresa asked

"We're halfway there" Said Paul

I was behind all of them panting for breathe, yet trying to keep a look out for walkers.

"Clem" Tyler said as he fell behind to talk to me "What'd they do to you?"

"I think" I began to say as I stopped walking "I think one of my ribs are broken"

"What?" Tyler asked in panic "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Sorry" I said still panting for breath "I didn't want to stop us from getting out of there"

"Here" Tyler said as he took his pack back off his back "Hop on"

"What?" I asked him confused

"Clem, if your ribs are broken your doing more damage to your body right now" Tyler said "So let me give you a piggy back ride to the car"

"I'm fine" I said being stubborn

"Clem don't fight me on this" Tyler said

"Fine" I said

I walked over to Tyler and hopped on his back, he handed me his book bag and I carried that.

He also gave me a fully loaded gun to defend him and I.

We caught up with the others within a couple of minutes and walked to the car.

I couldn't stop thinking of Lily, She was someone I had trusted not to long ago and now she's a monster.

Well I guess that makes me a monster too, I pepper sprayed her and left her to suffer.

I couldn't stop thinking about that stupid song either.

By the time we got to the car I could tell Tyler was tired. I hoped down and gave him his backpack and gun back.

"Theresa!" Pierce said as he got out of the car

"Pierce!" Theresa said as she hugged him

"Oh my god" Theresa said as she looked at him "Who taught you how to drive?"

"Jesus did" Pierce said proudly

"Oh wow" Theresa said "I'm not sure wether or not I should feel safe or terrified"

"You have nothing to worry about" Jesus said as he hopped into the passengers seat

We all got into the car and Pierce started driving fast.

"Where are we going?" I asked

"The hilltop" Tyler replied

"What's the hilltop?" I asked

"It's a community" Said Jesus

"A community?" I questioned him "Those still exist nowadays?"

Jesus chucked.

"Your world is about to get a whole lot bigger" He replied
