God Forgive Us

New Places For Death to Come-7

Ericka's POV
_________

   Yesterday we came here in search of the group I was traveling with, today while Ana, Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham are out gathering a crap load of roamers from a nearby cliff, Max, Ryan, Rainy, and I are off to go retrieve Mackenzie from the place her and her brother are staying. Currently we're  packing our materials just in case something were to go horribly wrong. It was supposed to just be me and Max, but when Ryan found out that it would just be us traveling, he insisted on coming with. And after Rainy too discovered about our trip, she decided that she was going to tag along as well. So, here we are packing for four. I am interrupted from my thoughts when Ryan grabs his stuffed bag and comes over to we're I'm making mine. "I don't trust him." He says looking in Max's direction as he cocks his gun in the silent corner. "He's strange, I don't want him here. Or his sister." I look back at him as he glares towards my newfound friend, "Well I didn't want you here either, but here you are." Ryan stops for a second before turning his gaze towards me as I finish and walk out of the house we now "live" in. I walk over to the gate and waited for the others to come and join me so we can get moving all ready. I watch as Rainy jogs over to me with a grin, "What are you grinning about?" She pulls out a bag of cookies from her backpack, "Carol made them for Sam, and he gave me some." I roll my eyes at the young love. I notice Max walking over in our direction with his gun in hand. He too sees the cookies and smiles. Rainy throws her pouch of arrows over her shoulder and grabs her bow while her brother makes his way towards us. "Ready." We all nod at Max and the gate pulls open. After walking out I turn around to shut it, when I do, I see a kid staring at us. When he sees me look at him, he pushes the baby carriage and continues walking away.

Max's POV

  She wasn't there. By the looks of the place, she hasn't been there since we left with Ericka. I notice Ericka looking at me with sorrow in her eyes, fun how rolls reverse. "We'll come back and check for her in a couple days," She still has hope, pathetic. "It doesn't matter, she's not coming back. She's gone." It hurts to admit it out load, but I know that it's the truth. I walk out of the quiet house and my ears are shocked by the blaring sound of a car alarm. We all look at each other realizing that it's coming from the place we left less than an hour ago. "Shit," Ericka mumbles as we all turn to her. "The walkers, the sound will draw them from the road." My eyes widen; we stand there for a moment, hoping that someone will turn it off, instead a flare is shot high into the air. "Alright, we're fucking staying here tonight, we'll go back to Alexandria in the morning." I honestly don't give a shit on whether they like it or not, leaving most likely means death. I notice that the guy, I think his name is name is Ryan, keeps giving me weird looks. What the fuck did I do to him; besides knocking him out and kinda sorta kidnapping his friend, never mind. "Who says that you make all the rules?" This time I give him them weird look, "You can go, but you're probably end up dead before you can get back." He face grows pale quickly then he continues with his little eye rolling then with the glaring. I just left him to do that and went back inside. "There's blankets and pillows in the back bedroom when you decide you're ready to sleep at all." I walk over to the old kitchen area to escape the talking and think for a little bit leaning against the dust covered refrigerator. I'm there for about four-or-five minutes before Ericka walks in and sits on-top of the counter. "You okay?" She asks in a generally concerned tone of voice. "Yeah, I'm fine," I push myself push myself off of the fridge, "What about you, you've been kinda quiet all day?" She slowly nods her head but I can still tell that something is bothering her. I get closer to her, "You're lying, I can tell." Her cheeks become a bright Crimson as I stand inches from her. "My head just hurts a little, that's all." She looks down trying to avoid my gaze, "See, I told you you were lying.""I lean in closer, our lips making contact. After a minute I break the trance both of us are, "Come on, you need some sleep." She hopes down and I grab her hand and pull her into one of the rooms. I lay her down on the the bed I cover in a blanket. I smile quietly to myself before walking out and letting her sleep. As soon as I turn the hallway I'm greeted by the pissed of face of Ryan, I guess he saw me and Ericka in kitchen, shit. I didn't think they were dating or anything. I walk out of the house but not before he pushes past me. I grab my gun along with the silencer. I could definitely us some fucking fresh air right now.

  The alarm changed the entire plan completely, everything went wrong. We're fucked right now, holy shit.

Rainy's POV

  Ryan and I were sitting the living when we both turned to see Ericka and Max making out. I was laughing, but Ryan did not seem to be happy about this what so ever. I watched as he lead her to the bed room, holy fucking shit this is not happening, do they even have condoms?!? They're in there for about two minutes before Max comes out smiling and I know that nothing could have possibly happened in that amount of time. Max's smile quickly drops when he sees Ryan giving him dirty looks. I swear to fucking Christ I'm going to beat the living shit out of him. Max goes outside in silence; after he exists I walk over to the room that Ericka went in and find her fast asleep on the bed. I let out a sigh of relief then go to follow Max outside. I hope the door just enough for him to see that it's me. "Just so you know, I ship it." He smiles to himself as I shut the door. I can't wait to get back to Alexandria so I can tell Ana- wait. Is she even still alive? What the he'll happened in Alexandria?
