Escaping The Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter Twenty-Eight

(Indigo's Point Of View)

It's been a few days since the boys and I arrived back at camp. We've packed our stuff and moved back to the cabins today we're just trying to work out who's with who, as in room assignments. We're thinking two to a room/Cabin.

Clearly James and Andrew will be sharing considering I wouldn't trust them with anyone else and I don't think the others know 'em well enough. Charlie has offered to be with Howie, I guess she's grown attached.

So that just leaves Milo, Teddy, Logan, Carter, Dylan and I.

"I can go with Ind-" Milo starts, but I jump in before he can finish.

"Carter and I, can totally share a room" I say a little too enthusiastic, I turn to look at Carter and see her shooting me a questioning look, I glare right back with pleading eyes.

"Yeah, Yup." She says with a sort of smile.

Logan hands us the keys, when I start walking I realise I'd just left Dylan out again forcing her to share with one of the three males, which either me or Carter would have been willing to share because both our brothers are left, but she doesn't seem to notice. Her mind seems to be somewhere else, I hope she's alright.

"Dylan, you alright?" I whisper to her trying not to draw the attention of the guys fighting over who shares what, more Logan and Teddy bitching with Milo as Switzerland.

She looks up still kind of dazed but at least she responded.

"Okay guys, why don't we just go with the usual, which is Teddy and Milo, and Dylan and Logan. Because I think you all need some sleep." I say before leaving.

--------------

"Hey Rapunzel." I turn a little frightened from the words. Considering I've just walked into the wild to pee only to be follow by my charming kidnapper.

"What?" I say a little too snappy. "Sorry, that was a bit angry. But you did just scare me and I have been needing to pee so if you don't mind." I flick my hand in a gesture as to say piss off.

"Well I kind of do mind, we don't know what's in the woods. So I'm thinking I'll come with you just in case, I'll turn around. Don't worry." He interjects.

"I think I'll take my chances." I storm off, the best I can with this need to pee. Hoping he won't follow.

--------------

"Hey, Indi." I see Milo running towards me from the entrance of the camp site, "Where the hell have you been, haven't you realised that it's dangerous, out there? I know you didn't just run across those boys, there is something more to it..." He franticly says before trying to lead me back inside the camp site.

I shove him off, "Fine if you want to talk about this we'll do it while walking." I demand before walking off into the distance.

"Well we have to at least tell someone." I stop walking and nod,

"Fine." I give up.

He speed walks inside before disappearing, not long after he remerges, "Ready?"

"Yeah"

We walk along the forest edges gazing at the beautiful stars.

"So are you going to talk?" He asks, forcing me to break my gaze from the dazzling stars twinkling ahead.

"Yup, so I guess it was a horrifying time for me and I guess considering it was the second time I was taken against my will maybe it's not you, maybe it's me but yeah, they panicked and attacked me, don't get angry they were scared and starved." I stop to let him process.

"Wait and you let them into our camp, with our friends?" He screeches.

"Yes, because try and imagine how our group would react, like how Logan would react if either Carter or Dylan were hurt or hungry. James was just protecting his brother, James's family was hungry and had just lost an arm. I'm shocked all they did was kidnap me. Think about how our guys would react they'd kill for each other, they have killed for each other." In the end I seem to be yelling I don't know when I started yelling but it seems I was.

"Okay alright, I kind of understand where you're coming from. So thank you for finally telling me. Wait is that why James calls you Rapunzel?" He seems to have turned back to his calm self.

"Yeah, but I didn't just tell you this because you asked. I want to know something." Bargaining was the only way I had any say in anything before I finally escaped.

"Sure, Fire away." He is defiantly back to himself, well for this moment he is.

"Well, I was wondering what happened between you and Halie?" As soon as her name slips from my lips he stares at me in shock. I await for an answer but it doesn't seem like I'm going to get one. "You know Halie Graham, your girlfriend whom you were with when I was... you know?"

"Yeah I know who you're talking about I'm just shocked you mentioned her." He says looking up from the ground, I nod for him to continue. "Well we broke up."

"Yes, I guessed that. But uh how, when, why?" My curiosity got the best of me.

"Well how, I just stopped talking to her to anyone, when, well when you disappeared. Why, well that's more complicated, I always knew it was my fault and that you didn't just run away, but no one believed. They kept trying to fix me, she kept trying. Eventually I stopped talking to anyone, I dropped out of school and just started wondering until dad died and I finally realised I was never truly alone until that moment and that's how I snapped out of it. I'd had enough of all of it and I knew one day I'd see you again and I didn't want you to come back to nothing so I started working, and then the apocalypse happened. So on and so forth." He stopped every few seconds to take a breath.
