The Apocalypse

Chapter 33. The Death Of Us

Chapter 33; The Death Of Us💀

(recap: Michonne and Anna were in the forest, trying to find food, and they find an arrow. It looked like an arrow Daryl would carry around. They begin to figure out maybe the bus people are around here somewhere. They then hear a little girl screaming for help. )

•

Me and Michonne stop in our tracks.

"HELP! PLEASE!"

I look at Michonne.

I start to run but Michonne grabs my arm before I can get any far.

"What are you doing?"

•

"You don't know who that could be!"

•

" oh I know who that could be- Just some random little girl that was alone wouldn't be alive, she has people."

Michonne looks out into the forest where the shouts are coming from.

All of a sudden I'm being dragged by Michonne and I catch up to her speed so I'm not being dragged anymore. Were running but then we slow down and stop behind a tree.

I look over the corner of the tree and I see a brown boot laying on the dirt road.

A trap?

I don't think so. I'm not gullible, not at all. I seriously think someone lost their shoe.

I walk up to it and Michonne whispers, "what are you doing?!?"

I nod at her and pick up the boot. "let's return this to their owner."

Michonne walks up to me and we continue walking.

I see a load of people but I can't really tell who they are. They're alive, though.

I clench the boot in my hands and walk forward.

"Um, hello.... I've found this boot on the road and I was wondering if it was any of yours. If it's not, I can keep moving. Suh - sorry to bother you.... " I say in a nervous voice.

Lizzie turns around. "That's my boot. I think that's my boot. I've been looking for it."

I don't think she's looked at my face yet & Michonne is behind me.

Lizzie moves over to me and grabs the boot. While her hand is still on the boot she looks up to see my face. "Thank- Anna?!?"

She drops the boot and runs back to the bus that's behind her and jumps in. "Daryl! Daryl! Hurry!"

Daryl comes out of the bus saying," what's the matter Lizz- ........."

A moment of silence fills the air. He's looking at me and tears start rolling down my face. "DARYL!"

I run up to him when Michonne comes out from behind me. He picks me up and twirls me around. "Wow kid your still alive!"

I give him a straight face. "I knew you were alive this whole darn time. Ain't a doubt in my mind."

I smile and he goes to get the others.

Carol walks out and smiles. "Why don't you believe its Anna!"

Then she pauses, but then looks at Michonne. "Michonne!"

-"Carol!"

They have a reunited hug. Michonne hugs Daryl too.

Lizzie comes out with Grayson and Kerry.

Grayson's mouth is open wide and he runs to me. I pick him up but he's heavier now.

"GRAYSON! YOUR OKAY!"

"ANNA I MISSED YOU!"

I can't help but fall to the ground and start crying. Grayson wipes my tears. "It's okay Anna I'm here!"

He looks and acts so much older now. My little 8 year old brother that liked playing with toy trucks and race cars now is 10 and had dirt on his face and raggity brown hair and held a gun.

"Yeah I get the ladies too." He says.

"Lizzie?"

"She turned me down."

I laughed.

"Well, love is hard in an apocalypse dude. You don't know who to kill and who to save, so try not loving anyone."

•

"I know, I need to focus on my zombie killing. The world is like a video game !"

•

"Yeah, but instead of getting another chance after game over, it ends at game over. Always remember that. Never compare the world now to a video game because it's much more than that now and much more serious."

He nods and then looks down.

"What is it?"

"You haven't noticed?"

"The others? Are they on the bus?"

Lizzie walks up and so does carol.

"Poor Mika. Poor poor Mika.." Carol says.

I have a look of worry and say "what?? Where is she??"

Lizzie looks to the ground and starts to cry. "They took her! Right from me!" She starts talking really fast in a worried voice with cries in between.

"It's not fair why did they do that STOP please no don't take her please she's my only sister I can't help the death of us please please please please!"

None of us understood her but we knew she was having a hard time recovering from Mika's death. I think she just needed to let everything off her chest.

I look at Daryl. "Where's Addy and Judith?"
