Survivors

Chapter 5

After Chloe died my main priority was hunting these monsters down.

Every.Last.One.

I didn't talk to anyone for about a week.

Everyone started to worry about me.

Except Chandler.

He read me better then anyone else because he lost his sister two days earlier.

"Bella, I know you miss her but you have to talk to someone." Chandler said one night while I tried to sleep.

I rolled over and looked at him. He studied my face and started to say something.

"Please."

I just pulled his face down to mine and kissed him. But just for a second.

"Not what I was asking for but it was good enough for now." He smiled.

I rolled back over and went to sleep.

The next day I visited my sister's grave, like I did everyday.

I found a pair of leather gloves so I cut the fingers off these and wore them.

Except when I showered I liked to keep them on.

Chandler knew where I went everyday when he woke up and I wasn't there. Chloe's grave.

I had my katana swung over my shoulder. I usually put on a pair of jeans and my leather jacket and combat boots when I'd leave.

I crouched next to the tulips and put my hand on the stone I had carved her name into.

"I love you baby sister." I would always whisper.

The only words I would say.

But today was different.

I went out into the woods, alone.

I kept a hand on my katana the whole time.

I only saw one walker and I killed it without even thinking.

It had to of been hours because when I got home it was around noon.

And there were new people.

"Um?" I asked when I walked in.

"Hi, I'm Beth, Beth Greene." The girl smiled and shook my hand.

"Bella." I replied.

She had a sweet country accent and was short with blonde hair and green eyes.

Another girl walked in. She looked about five. Brownish blonde hair, blue eyes, and pink cheeks.

I froze.

"This is Claire." Beth smiled.

I kept staring at her.

*Flashback to when Chloe was born*

"Bella, come meet your new baby sister." My mother smiled.

I gasped and looked at the little blue eyed baby in her arms.

"Hi Chloe. I'm your big sister. My name is Bella, I just turned nine." I said excitedly.

*Back to present*

"Why is she staring at me?" Claire asked.

"Sorry." I said and kneeled down.

"Hi." She smiled.

"Hi," I smiled back. "I used to have a little sister just like you."

"Bella?" Chandler said.

I stood up and turned around to see Chandler smiling brightly at me.

"You spoke." He smiled again.

"Yeah....I guess I did..." I muttered.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs.

"I know why you were staring." He closed the door.

"Yeah." I said and frowned.

"I stared too."

I looked up and studied his face.

"W-why?"

"She reminds me of you and Chloe."

I just stared at him and then took my katana off and set it on the dresser.

"I noticed that on your katana." He said and motioned towards my sword.

The locket.

"When did you find that?" He asked.

"Few days ago." I said.

"I saw it fall of Chloe when you picked her up," He muttered "You went back there without anyone with you?"

"Yeah."

"You're a lot braver then I thought."

All the sudden there was a loud scream outside.

I grabbed my katana and ran downstairs.

"Clair!" I screamed.

She was off by Chloe's grave when a walker came out of the woods.

I ran as fast as I could and pushed her away, causing her to fall to the ground.

I quickly sliced its head in half.

"Bella! You saved me!" She said and hugged me as I stood over the walker's body.

Beth ran towards us and hugged her sister and then me.

"You saved her!" She said and hugged Claire again.

Those should've been the words I heard when Chloe was attacked.

Beth took her back to the house and I hugged Chandler.

He walked me back to the house.

Claire was on the couch with Renae and Beth.

"Why were you out there?" I asked.

"Renae told me about the little girl and how I looked like her." She said in a sweet little voice.

I fake smiled at her and continued up stairs.

"I can see what you're thinking." Chandler said and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Yeah? And what's that?" I asked.

"You want to protect her like you protected Chloe."

He was right.
