Niall's P.O.V
I pace back and forth outside of Brandon's room.
I mumble to myself all the ways I screwed up today.
I brought three random people into our beloved prison. I fall in love with Emma. I made her scream and Brandon fell out of the tree cause I did. Tyler beats up Brandon and Rachelle gets punched in the face. Tyler nearly rapes Emma because I just stood there. Then we kill twelve people, including Tyler. And now Brandon isn't waking up.
"Calm down mate." Liam says but I continue freaking. "he's gonna be fine."
"Uh Liam..." Harry says pulling him back but I still hear. "We don't know that. He could be dead in there for all we know. He could-"
"Harry." Rachelle says sitting there tensed.
"Sorry." Harry says sitting next to her and resting his hand on hers. She smiles at him sadly.
Then the door creaks open. Emma...she yawns and blinks tiredly.
"He's awake." she says and I sigh loudly. she smiles and opens the door all the way. "you can come in..."
I light up and rush into the room. Brandon is in the bed and stroking Dylan's hair. She is asleep and her head lays on his lap.
"I'll move her." Louis says picking her up bridal style and setting her down on the floor with a blanket.
"So... how are you feeling?" I say.
"Yeah just sore in my chest." he says shrugging.
"You won't be moving for a while, you know that right?" Zayn says and Brandon nods.
"I guess Dylan will just have to take care of me until I'm okay then." he smiles looking at her.
"You won't be able to help hunt." Emma says sitting on the edge of the bed. "but I'm relieved that you're alive."
"After a beating like that..." Rachelle says. "I'm surprised you were able to kill Tyler."
"Yeah," Brandon says confused. "What did you guys do with all those bodies?"
"We uh...." I say scratching the back of my neck waiting for one of the boys to finish my sentence but no one does. I sigh and continue. "we usually bury them in respect but the...people like Tyler, we give them what they deserve."
"Which is....?" Emma says.
"We feed them to the walkers if some wander toward us and if there is none...we just take them and throw them in the swamp."
"Oh...." she says putting her head down and I see her start to shake.
"But you three, even if you did something as bad as that...we wouldn't ever let that happen to you." I say an Emma trembles a little less. "You would be buried and missed unlike them."
She looks up at me and smiles. Tears brim her eyes.
"Hey uh Emma?" Brandon says. "Why don't you and Rachelle go and get some sleep?"
"But-" Rachelle says in defense.
"Rachelle." Brandon says sternly. Then as Emma looks away he give Rachelle a look and she nods understanding.
"Be alright." Emma says hugging him.
"I will." he says as they part. "go get some sleep Em."
"Bye." she says and he smiles as she leaves the room. Rachelle walks over to Harry and kisses him on the cheek. He turns red and turns to her shocked. She smirks and walks out of the room, an the door latches shut.
