The Last Of Us

Chapter Eleven : Sorrow

The drive to the supermarket was not that long. Whilst we drove, we were looking for any sign of life that can help us and take a look at Carl. He had stopped crying;he kept looking out the window, he's all drenched in sweat, his eyes red, his temperature rised. Poor boy, he did not deserve this at all.

We couldn't hear anything. There is absolutely no sound except for our van's engine and Emma's sobs. I'm afraid of what Emma is going to do. As far as we know and we have seen, no one lives after being infected and I'm afraid that something might happen to him soon.

After a few minutes of driving left and right pass the abandoned cars on the road, Harry stopped the van. I looked out at a sign which said, 'Express Drugs.' We took a look around and made sure it's safe before we got out.

"We should go in and find some antibiotics and painkillers for Carl." He said. "Glenn, Maggie, see if we have anything useful in the car or nearby." He nooded and went to the van to find something.

"Aaron, Glenn and I will go in and get the medicines" He said while looking at Aaron.

"Wait, what about me?" I asked.

"And what about us?" Josh asked.

"Josh and Jake, you guys can go to the market across the road to get supplies. Emily, you Stay. We don't want you to be in danger again." He said calmly.

"He's right. You should stay here with the others." Josh said while putting his hand on my shoulder.

I gave him a look and removed his hand and said,"the more people you have in there the more supplies you get in less time."

"The more people we have in there the more risk we have of someone getting stuck and die!" Harry shouted in a low voice to make me understand.

My eyes widened as he shouted. I was about to shout back but Glenn called us out.

"Guys, look what we found here!" Glenn shouted and we walked towards him.

"What is it?" I asked while he looked at us smiling with a bag in his hands.

He opened the bag and revealed a few handguns and 9mm ammo boxes. I quickly took a gun in my hand and loaded it with ammos. My eyes fell on a silencer which was at the corner of the bag, i took it. There were holstered belts and I took one and put my gun in it.When I finished I looked at Harry and Aaron who looked bewildered.

"What? I know how to use a gun." I smirked.

They probably thought I just knew how to shoot somehow. But the fact that my dad used to be a cop when he was alive, i saw him handle guns a lot. He taught me a few things when I was little which I hated but those knowledge is coming in need and surprisingly i still remember.

"She knows how to handle it." Jake said as he and Josh took their guns, silencers and holstered belts and started walking towards the market.

"Now I can go with you guys. There's no need to be afraid of me getting bitten. I wanna help." I said and walked a few steps.They took silencers and holstered belts for their own guns and started walking.

"I'm not gonna come running if you get in trouble." Harry said while walking up to me.

"I'm fine with that." I said.

Harry, Aaron and Glenn took lead and started walking before me. I bent down a little and looked at Carl through the window. He looked really awful.

"Hey kiddo." I smiled while brushed my hand through his hair. "Hang in there okay? I'll go and come running with some medicines."

"I'm going to die aren't I?" He said as he looked at me right in the eye.

My smile faded away. I lost words but somehow i managed to gather up some and say,"You'll be fine." I said and he smiled.
