Kill or be Killed

Chapter Seven

As I were laying down I thought about what Bennett said. I was more upset then mad. I believe Steve would leave me but Lea? Me and her were best friends from birth. We've been through everything together.

Dixie on the other hand, I know she cares for me, but she cares for Steve more so she going to be on his side. Maybe that's what they were talking earlier. About leaving.

I pulled the blankets off and started to put on my boots. I put my daggers in my boots and my knifes where they went then I put my gun in my holster. I left my bow and arrows in the tent.

I stepped foot outside and was hit with a cool breeze. Not to the point were I needed a jacket. I walked over to one of the benches were we eat. As I were walking to it I heard a loud snore and a sound that sounded like a snack then a 'ouch' following it.

I got to the bench and put my gun on top of the table and went to the tent beside the table to get some stuff to clean my gun. As I were cleaning my gun I became tired. I didn't think nothing of it and kept clean my gun. I should have went back to bed, but instead I had fallen asleep while cleaning my gun.

I woke up to the sound of screams and people crying for help. I was still at the table to see my gun in pieces from cleaning it. I looked around to see are camp full of Z's and people lying on the ground dead. I hurried to put my gun back together and as I put the magazine in a Z had grabbed my ankel and throw me to the ground.

As I had fallen my gun landed a few feet from me. My legs were still on the seat while my back was to the ground. The Z was snapping it's mouth towards my head while it's hands were on my shoulders.

I grabbed it's hair to pull it away but as I were pulling, part of the scalp had came off it's head and blood started to drip on my face. As it got closer to my face and arrow had went throw the skull.

I froze in my spot the arrow was so close it almost touched my eye. The Z was then pulled off of me. I adjusted my eyes to the sun to see Bennett.

"Is that my bow?" I asked

He didn't reply he just lifted me up off the ground. Holding me tight. I looked down to see the little girl hugging his leg. She was crying very loudly which made the Z's come towards us.

"Lets get out of here" Bennett said pulling me towards him

"No. I have to find Lea" I said pulling away grabbing my gun

"There gone"

"What" I just started at him

"They left some time a night. I'm sorry but we have to go"

"No"I refused

"Blake please. I know how much you care for them but they left you. I'm sorry to say it but it's true"

"No there here" I said looking around

"BLAKE! They don't care about you! They left you!" As he said this I saw Charlie running by

"Charlie" I yelled to him. He stopped and came over to us killing a Z

"Good to see you not in pieces" he told me

"Where's Steve?"

"Didn't you hear this morning?" He looked at me. I just rasied an eyebrow.

"Steve, Dixie and Lea took off last night with some people and took all the food and weapons. While we're here left with people who can't fight"

"Lets go" I told Bennett

"What about me baby girl?" Charlie yelled after us as we were running away from the camp

I turned around jogging backwards then lifted my middle finger up at him. Then grabbed a duffle bag near me and left with Bennett.

A while back We had stopped running because the little girl was complaining about how she was tired.

"Look there's houses" I pointed

"Stay here with Eva, I'll go check it out to see if it's safe"

"What? No. I'll go and you stay here with her"

"Just stay with her. Please. She won't bite" He said smirking at me

"Fine" i said giving up

He got down on one knee and whispered something to the girl. She then nodded and came over to me holding my hand. When she grabbed my hand I got stiff, looking up at Bennett he just smiled and walked off.

We were sitting on a rock waiting for Bennett to come back when I notice Eva looking at me through the side of my eye.

"Stop looking at me" I said not looking at her, keeping my face straight hoping Bennett would be back any minute.

"You're pretty"I didn't say anything

"My name's Eva" I still didn't say anything

"Bennett told me your name was Blake" I was silent hoping she would stop talking

"That's a boys name"

"Can you shut the hell up?"

"I'm telling on you, you said a bad word" she said getting off the rock standing in front of me

"Ooo I'm so scared" I said out of boredom

She got the idea I didn't want her around so she starting walking to were Bennett had gone. She was soon out of my sight. She isnt my problem. After a while I got bored and went towards one of the houses. As I were in the middle of the neighborhood street I started walking down it.

"Are you fucking serious?" I heard Bennett yell at me

"Don't raise your voice at me"I said looking at him

"I told you to look after her. And I then find her wondering down the street" I saw her holding his hand

"She isn't my problem" I said calmly

"She's a kid!" He yelled

"Sounds like a personal problem" I then walked by him going up a drive way to a white house that looked like it would have food and water in.

"Fuck you"

"Anytime" I turned around to see them walking away

"Where you going?" I asked he didn't answer

"Bennett!" I yelled at him. He still didn't say anything he just kept walking. So I jogged towards him.

"Bennett" he stopped to look at me

"I think we're safer on are own" he said

"So you're just going to leave me out here all alone to defined for myself" I said throwing my hands in the air

"You are the one that don't like people coming into your life and helping right. I mean that's why you got into a fight with Steve right? Maybe that why they left you, because you are a fucking asshole who don't give a shit about anyone or anything "

"You know you're right. I don't give a shit. I know they left but I'm sure there turning back around to come get me" I said pissed off. He just chuckled

"If that's what you think you must be fucking stupid not to see the message he was clearly trying to say"

"I'm not wasting my time on you"

"Good. Because I'm not either" and then he walked away. I just stood in the middle of the street all alone again.
