Roaming Of The Afterlife

Keep Our Sanity

Aurei and I walk back into the house, Cassie was still out cold. I couldn't trust random people, and I can't bring in a liability and put lives at risk. But as I said before if that was Aurei, I would want someone to stop where they're going and help her.

"What are we gonna do with her?" Aurei asks, folding her arms and turning to face me.

"I'll check for bites, you barricade the door." I order her, sauntering towards the chair Cassie was in. Aurei turns around but stops in her tracks and glances at me.

"But there are no biters-" Aurei protests but I glare at her as I roll up Cassie's sleeve.

"Do what I told you." I snapped, my voice sharp and icy, Aurei nods then she moves a dining chair and slides it under the old doornob.

I search Cassie's arm for any bites or scratches, she had to pass out for some reason, and if it isn't a bite then I will have to ask her when she wakes up...if she wakes up.

Then I'll have to warn her, I may sound paranoid after the Joe incedent but I don't want to have to experience that anytime soon....although if she's bit I'll have to put her down.

You learn after you experience these things, you'll either get better or get worse...but my main priority is to keep my little sister alive...no matter what it takes.

Sometimes my mother was firm with me whenever I wanted to complain or jump to conclusions way too quickly or if I asked a pointless question that was just entirely stupid.

Consider me a bitch, a hypocrite, a heartless murder-I don't really care, what's done is done and you can't change the past...

I search her other arm that had a large cut, no wonder she was covered in so much blood, and she probably faintee due to an infection. I pick her up and carried her to the room where we got the sheets, I rest her gently on the bed.

"Better pray that you're not bit anywhere else." I grunt, but pulled the comforter over her body.

Aurei sits crossed legged in the middle of the floor, eating yogurt without uttering a word. I did a mental cringe, sometimes I can be a little extra when it comes to emergencies...but at that point, it's necessary.

"Do you know how old that is?" I ask, knitting my eyebrows at her as she looks up at me.

"I checked the date Avery." Aurei said, irritated as she continued to eat more of the yogurt. I just need to make sure that she's not planning to run away or do something completely crazy.

"Hey," I chirp, sitting beside her, relaxing my shoulders as my legs ached from being cramped up inside that car.

"Hey...what do you think of Cassie?" I ask, keeping my voice low as I stare ahead, as I rub my ankle.

"She's alright, I guess." Aurei shrugs, finishing the yogurt and throwing it in the trash.

"Look, somewhat this week, I'll teach you how to shoot...you need to know how to survive on your own..." I add, gazing up at Aurei who blankly stares down at me.

"Avery, you're changing..." Aurei said in a monotone voice, her lips form into a straight line as she furrows her eyebrows at me.

"There could be help coming our way Avery. And you're acting like that this is the world now." Aurei snaps, staring down at me.

The military could be dead by now, I doubt that anyone is gonna help us, just by learning about Bianca, there is no cure, there is no hope, if you panic-you die, if you scream-you die. One dumbass move can get you killed, by the dead or by the living.
