Infectious - A TWD fanfiction

Three - Not good

Three days. Since I saw my brother. Since I was picked up by Violet and Roger. Since the walls of their community were broken down.

It's been a long three days. We haven't slept, nor eaten, in fear we won't be able to settle long enough. It's not like we don't have food or are uncomfortable in the Jeep. We're just paranoid, and at this point even I'm not sure if we'll ever be safe again.

A sputter in the engine erupts and it causes me to jump. The fuel tank is empty. Shit. Violet lets out a heavy sigh and unbuckles herself.

"We're going to have to walk." She states.
"With all of our gear? I don't think so. I say we stay here overnight and try find another car in the morning." Roger argues, dominantly.

I sit quiet in the back as the two argue over what we should do. I didn't want to piss anyone off any more than they already were. I stare blankly out the window, drowning out the sound of the arguing commencing two feet in front of me, watching the smoke in the distance grow while clutching my book tightly to my chest.

"Ash. Back to reality please." Violet and Roger say in unison, staring at me from the front seat.
"Yeah?" I say, my voice cracking slightly.
"We're going to take the essential gear and find somewhere to camp for the night, in the morning we'll come back and get the rest once we've found another car to take." Violet says, looking down at my book.
"What essentials will we be taking?" I ask, clutching my book tighter.
"You can take everything in your duffel but the two of us will have to ration out our food and water, I have a hatchet in the back and a box of matches, so we'll also bring that. We have another duffel in the back, down by your feet. Think you could grab that and put in what we tell you to?"

I nod in response, grabbing the large red duffel on the floor of the car. Listening to what Violet and Roger ask me to put in and slipping them all in neatly, keeping sure to fit everything in. Once everything was in the duffel, I zip it closed, handing the heavy thing to Roger to carry.

A/N// sorry I haven't been updating, I've been caught up with getting me some qualifications! I'll try update a little more, maybe make an upload schedule at some point. I hope you're enjoying the story!
