(ON HOLD)My Life In The Zombie Apocalypse... With A Twist!

Part 36 /The lake war

"What do you want?" I snapped as Wyatt approached me. I didn't bother to look up at him.

"Hey I don't like you much either but you don't have to bitch about it." He snapped back. I rolled my eyes and looked up at him. I gave him an innocent look. "Whatever. Just come on. We are about to leave." Wyatt explained.

"Nah, I think I'll stay here." I said calmly. He gave me a look if confusion. "Kidding." I said quite matter-of-factly. I stood up and walked over to where the others were standing around the car.

Carson gave me a smile but I didn't return it. I just stood there and looked away from her. "What's the game plan?" I asked Mason, giving him the same expressionless look I have Carson.

"Gunna head up the road a little further, maybe find some food, something to patch up your arm too." Mason explained. I had almost completely forgot about my busted elbow I got when I fell.

"Sounds good." I said as I hopped into the driver's seat. Everyone gave me a questioning look. "I'm 15 now. I gotta learn at some point." I said. Now everyone was just surprised.

"Your 15?" Daryl asked, dumbfounded. I scoffed.

"Yeah. I turned 15 right after the outbreak." I said leaning back in the seat. Everyone nodded.

Mason walked over to the drivers side and pulled open the door. "Out." He said sternly. I gave him the puppy dog eyes. "Now, I'm not gunna have you wrecking my only car." He told me.

I sighed. "Fine." I crawled out the open door and climbed into the back seat. Everyone else also got in, including Wyatt who was sat next to me. "Why do I have to sit by it?" I complained, looking at Wyatt.

"Stop your complaining. Your 15, act like it." Mason told me from the drivers seat as he started the car

"I hate it when people say that..." I groaned slumping in my seat.
Wyatt looked at me.

"Don't worry Princess. I think you were acting your age! You are 3 right?" Wyatt insulted. 'Princess? Who the hell did he think he was?' I thought.

"Don't call me Princess..." I hissed. He lifted up his arms in surrender. "Jerk..." I muttered.

"I heard that!" Wyatt scoffed.

"You were supposed to!" I snapped back.

We fell into silence as we drove down the old back road.

"There's a lake not much further from here. I'm gunna stop there. Refill on water, maybe wash up, go swimming... It's just kinda like a breather." Mason told everyone.
We all smiled, but me, I just nodded.

"Sounds good." Max commented. We pulled up into an old dirt road. We drove for a little while longer, until we could see the lake.

"It's pretty isn't it?" Someone asked. Everyone muttered an amazed 'yeah' besides me and Wyatt. It was really pretty but instead I responded with 'Whatever'.

Mason parked a few feet away from the water and we all got out. Daryl and Carson both hopped into the water with their clothes on and Ryan, Mason, Max, and Wyatt all got down to their boxers. I stayed on shore.

"Your not coming in?" Carson yelled from the water. I shook my head. "Suit yourself!" She hollered before diving into the water, disappearing under the surface.

"Oh come on! You can't just not go swimming when your offered to go swimming!" Wyatt yelled. "Especially in the apocalypse!" I shook my head again.

"I can and I will." I said simply. Suddenly Wyatt started to swim back up to shore. "Wyatt?! What are you doing?!" I yelled as he exited the water with a devilish grin plastered on his face. Everyone was laughing. I stood up. "Wyatt stop!" I yelled as he started to run to me. "No!"

I turned around and ran. I ran along the sand but that was slowing me down. I looked behind me to see Wyatt dangerously close to me. "Wyatt no!" I yelled at him. He only chuckled.

"Too late!!!" He yelled as I was suddenly pinned to the ground. He stared down at me with a smirk.

"Wyatt no!!! Stop!!! Let me go!!!" I squealed as he hauled me over his shoulders. I pounded on his back as he carried me back to the others.

"I got her guys!!!" Wyatt yelled as the others came in to view. He started carrying me to the water.

"Wyatt please!!!" I screamed, kicking and screaming harder. "Let me go!!!!" I screeched as he waded deeper into the water.

"Yeah... Not gunna happen!" He yelled. Next thing I knew I was surrounded by water. I didn't have the chance to hold my nose or take a breath for that matter. I took in a mouth full of water. My nose stung as I reached the surface.

Once I was above the water I started coughing uncontrollably. "Are you ok?!" Wyatt panicked once he saw how hysterical I was. I tried to talk but it only made me coughed harder and more. My lungs and my sides were starting to hurt. I shook my head and tried to go back to shore.

I started to walk back to shore, still coughing, when I stepped on something sharp. The surprise of the pain caused me to trip. "Kaitlynne!" Everyone, who were all quiet up until now, yelled and tried to come to me. I waved my hand behind me as I stood up.

"Leave..." I went into more hysterics. "Me... Alone." I finished. I limped back to shore. I sat down on the sand, soaking wet and looked down at my foot. It didn't draw blood but you could see where I stepped on whatever it was.

I growled and waited a little while before standing up. Wyatt was in the water wrestling with Ryan. 'Perfect.'

I slowly waded into the water until I was deep enough. Then I dived in the direction of Wyatt and Ryan, so they couldn't see me.

~Wyatt's POV~

'I feel bad about what I did to Kaitlynne, I really need to think things through more often.' I thought as I tackled Ryan once more.

"Time out! Time out!" Ryan yelled. I looked at him and saw he had swallowed a mouthful of water. I started laughing at him when suddenly something grabbed my ankle and pulled me down. Something held me down as I was running out of air. Then, it's started to tickle me. Yes tickle me!!! I wanted to let the breath go so bad. Then I just opened my mouth and bubbles escaped my mouth and floated around my head.

Then whoever it was grabbed my wrist and pulled me back up. I was instantly faced with Kaitlynne, who was laughing uncontrollably. "Oh my god!!!" She breathed out.

"Why would you do that?! You scared the shit out of me!!!!" I yelled at her. Suddenly her face turned darker.

"Now were even jackass." She said with venom in her voice. She turned around and went to leave when I suddenly found myself splashing her. She slowly turned around. "You did not just splash me." She spat. I splashed her again in the face. She let out an inhuman growl and tackled me.

I chuckled as she took both of us down.

And that started the war between me and Kaitlynne...
