Chapter 17

Seto/ Jimmy's POV

"Through the glass?" Mitch questioned.

"Yeah... They're getting stronger." Adam clarified.

"Then what do we do?" Jerome sounded worried when he spoke.

"We have to block off the entire second floor. Grab the ropes and tie off the doors." Mitch said.

"Who put you in charge?!" Caroline said being all mad and shit. Serves Mitch right. He has no filter! He is completely insane!

"I did." He answered blankly. "Mostly because no one else is smart enough to do it." Oh no he didn't!

"Not smart enough?" Katrina repeated. Shits about to go down... "Well if you're so smart why are we tying the doors up with rope when we have a kitchen with knives. The doors aren't that thick. We can take the longer knives and put them through the wall. If the zombies try to go through it they will be wounded and there for make them less powerfull. Then, we can tie up the doors and barricade it." She just showed up Mitch so well that he stood there and was in awe for about two minutes.

"I didn't get there yet... Ok fine. I didn't think of that, but how about being co incharge peoples?" He said finally coming back to his senses.

"I'm okay." Katrina answered.

And with that, Ian, Ty,and Adam went to tie up the doors. Quentin and I went to get the knives. Most of the walk down there was silent. Eventually, Quentin spoke.

"Did you do it?" He asked.

"Do what?"

"Talk to Maggie and get her to the point that she'd kill herself? Did you let Jason go get himself killed?"

"What?!" I answered. "No. I had no clue that Maggie was going to do that. And as for Jason. Wait... When Jason was running away he was fighting the undead." I stopped in my tracks and grabbed Quentin's arm. "He tripped and fell, but that was only seconds before I had hit all of the zombies with frozen tater tots. He could be alive!"

"Why didn't you say that dude!"

"Because I wasn't sane enough to think straight. I needed someone to help me fix that... And she did..."

The rest of the way was just filled with regular conversation. When we got to the room marked with three knives we went in and grabbed a deep pot that held 20 long knives and 40 short knives. Quentin said that the short knives would be good for fighting off the zombies if we needed to. We strolled back and finished off the doors. Or at least we finished one of them. The other one was crashed down when we got there.

"Hello?" Caroline asked in the silence. For all we know there could already be a bunch of walkers in the hall way.

"Hello?" I repeated her.

"JIMMY!" A voice said as I was attacked from behind. I shove the creature off me to find Jason on the floor.

"Dude, stop doing that!" He yelled at me laughing.

"Then you stop sneaking up on me!" I laughed back.

From around the corner we grabbed the supplies that Jason had. There we found none other than xrpmx13.

"Ryan, I found them." Jason said as we turned the corner.

"Sweet! So, do you guys have food?" He answered.

"Yeah," Adam said.

"Yes! Oh my God I'm starving!" Ryan exclaimed running down the hall. We all started walking back as I came to a realization... Jason is alive! He's here in this very building! I didn't do it! I'm not the reason he's dead because he's right next to me! I felt a heavy weight lifted off of my shoulders. I'm finally free. When we got to the base Ryan was already giving Jerome and the rest of the guys hugs and pats on the backs. <><>Do guys even do that?<><> I finally thought that the drama was over with when Mitch walked over to me. He pulled me off to the side to talk.

"Look, Jimmy," he started. "You may think your off the hook, but that's not even close. Jason still almost died and Maggie is dead and it's still you fault."

"Mitch listen." I pleaded, but he wouldn't hear my side.

"No, you listen. You messed up and I sure as hell am far away from an apology. That's what you were looking for, right? Well, looks like it won't happen." God he's just like hitler. Manages to turn everyone against me and, even when the conflict is resolved, still won't let go. One day maybe he will change. I decided the easiest way to do this was to walk away. I didn't need to die yet.

I went over to Adam to see how he was doing. After all, his apparent girlfriend just sorta died.

"Go away Jimmy," he said blankly.

"Look,dude, if you need to talk, I'm all ears," I said trying to help. I can't say I know how he feels but I've come pretty close.

"Jimmy. I said leave. I don't want to do anything I'd regret." Well, that idea doesn't work. I'm just gonna go then. Ugh what do I do now? I'm so bored. We are already safe and there's nothing left for me to do. I'm useless as always. I get people into danger and I can't help with anything. I'm not fast. I'm not strong. I'm not smart. I should be dead right now but, thanks to a man who almost died because if me, I'm not. I decided to take a look out on the balcony. You know... The indoor ones where you can see a bottom floor with it.

I gazed across the ground floor looking at the undead standing around. They were communicating with each other. They were making a series of grunts on different pitches. it was cool. Almost like they were singing. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw the elevator open. Startled, I jumped back, looking at... Zombies? They were in a formation that made them look like a gang. That's it?! That's how I'm going to die?! I'm going to get jumped by walkers! I opened my mouth to scream, but then I heard a familiar voice.

"Jimmy, we aren't going to hurt you." the voice said. It was raspier than usual, but it was still there.

"Maddie?!" She was grey as can be and looked tired. her cloths were ripped and her hair was a disaster! She was here. She was alive... ish.

"Jimmy, we don't have much time, so I have to tell you this quick." Maddie said in a rush. "You can't tell anyone about this visit, not even Ian. We are evolving, but we are becoming more viscous." She sounded as if she were scared of own shadow.

"Here's your science lesson for today." Maddie giggled. "The walkers are mutating rapidly in order to survive. We feed off of human energy. Eventually, I won't be able to control myself." Her eyes were filled with so much hatred towards herself that it was almost painful to look at. "Shit" she muttered. "I have to go." Maddie turn and ran towards the elevator.

"Wait!" I yelled. "Why did you even come up here? Just to tell me that you guys are getting stronger?!"

She stopped and faced me. "I came to say I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
