Kill or be Killed

Chapter Four

  Once we got back to the camp Lea ran over to her parents who where standing around the camp fire with a few people. Wonder what they are talking about? I shrugged it off and went on with my business.

  I opened the flap to are biggest tent in our camp that held all of are food and water. Lea dad let's so many people into are group that we don't even have enough food or even water to fill a back seat of a car.

  I looked through all the empty box's to find some water. After giving Lea the rest and then running a few miles to get away from the Z's I was pretty thirsty.

  Of course I didn't find any water so I went ahead and put the cans of food I found in the store onto the empty box's. I got up to turn around to leave the tent but before I could even look up I had bumped into someone. I stumbled back at little and look up to see who it was.

  It was clearly someone I didn't know so first thing that came to mind was steve already brought in New people, what a dumbass.  As I looked up I notice he was tall compared to my small figure.

"Sorry I didn't see yo-" he held his arms out like he was pleading for his life.

"Who the hell are you?" I was mad. No i was angry

"Oh um, im-"

"Scratch that, I don't care who you are just what are you doing here?" I said with my finger pointing down

"Jeez okay" he mumbled "me and my sister are new here, some guy named Steve let is in. Maybe a couple of hours ago"

There's two! Oh god

  I didn't care to look at him again I shoved passed him stomping towards Steve. My fist went into a closing position. When I got to him I tapped his shoulder.

"Why did you let in more people? We talked about this" I didn't even give him time to turn around before I spoke. I saw Lea and Dixie were with him. Lea was about to speak up but Steve beat her to it.

"Listion Blake I'm not telling you again, we do it to help people" he said anger written all over his face.

"You just told me stupid"

He then closed his eyes and Took a deep breath while rubbing his eyes.

"Blake leave I don't have time for this I have important things to do"

"Okay, what do you have time for? oh yeah i know letting in more people when we don't even have enough fucking food for everyone. Hell not even enough for three people. How about you put 'finding food' on your list of "important things to do"". Now he looked pissed off

"Lower your damn voice you are not the leader of this camp nor close enough to making decisions around here" he took a step closer to me, I then took a step to.

"When are you going to tell people we have no food Steve?" I whispered to him. By this time we got the whole camps attention.

"Blake please, just drop it" Dixie said in a calm voice towards me.

"You arnt my fucking father Steve you can't tell me what and what not to do" I said not paying any attention to Dixie.

"I know I'm not you father Blake, hes dead, he's fucking dead. I make the rules around here and if you don't follow them, you can get the hell out" he said with a stern voice

  I dared not let the tears fall from my eyes as they were on edge of falling. I just stared at him not knowing what to say next. This didn't come to a surprise to me as he said this, he has used my family against me multiple times.

  Always telling me it was my fault my mother died that day. Saying my dad married sooner because he need someone to be with him instead of me. For the longest I had belived that but if he didn't won't me, why not give me up for adoption?

"Dad" Lea yelled. This snapped me out of my thought. He was staring at me angrily. For a moment I thought he was going to start throwing punches at me. I then step closer to him. And said in his ear.

"Your going to regret that" then walked off like nothing happened.
