10k's girl ➳ Z-Nation

Chapter Three

10k's Pov

I stared out at the road as we drove at night. My eyes trailed to the new members, both sleeping. Y/n looked like the slightest noise would cause her to stab something, the male looked more relaxed.

I clenched my teeth thinking about the lack of food, and seeing Murphy eyeing her with a lustful look in his eye irritated me for some reason. The soft puttering of low gas caused me to look over as Warren cussed, slowing down to a complete stop.

She got out of the vehicle and looked me in the eye. I shifted my gun to my lap and pulled out my slingshot and got ready to kill any threats. Warren moved beside me. "You need to get some rest, you haven't slept the entire ride." I shook my head, "you were driving." She smiled. "Thank you." I was tired but since she drove so she deserved it. She looked back at me once more before getting in the front seat and kicking back.

The groaning of a few Z's caused me to become alert. A few feet away, a Z came out so I shot it with the sling. "1068." The body softly hit the ground and Y/n's head shot up, knife in hand. Her eyes were locked on me with a glare.

My eyes were on the two Z's coming out of the trees behind her. Readying my sling, I shot them. "1069. 1070." Only then did I sit back. My stomach rumbled but I ignored it, looking back at the other vehicle.

Something hit my lap and I looked at it, a twinkie? Y/n hopped over the side of the truck and started walking into the forest, her backpack slung over her shoulder. She didn't even glance back.

I bit the inside of my mouth, getting ready to kill anymore dead.

The male shot up a few hours later. His eyes panicked seeing she was gone. He looked to me with a scared look. "Hey um.. 10k.. Do you know where she is?" I didn't answer him for a minute and noticed that he shifted uncomfortably.

I pointed towards the woods and he sighed in relief seeing the sun coming up. Not long after, she came out of the woods, her hair now in a high ponytail, slightly wet and no longer greasy. The guy got out of the bed and ran over to her, encasing her in a hug. I heard more footsteps so I readied my sling.

She heard it to and swung her machete in a circular motion, backing away from him and facing the forest. He walked closer to her, grabbing a baseball that was strapped to her bag.

They stood facing the trees as a few dead ran out. They handled about 6 of them, I shot a couple, making sure to cover our other side. She then walked back to the truck, I just now noticed the canisters of gasoline in her hand. She brought it over and her friend filled the cars while she tapped the glass, waking up Warren.

Warren smiled at the two, then she asked the girl her name, to which she didn't reply, she only looked at the ground sadly, the guy apologized, telling Warren she doesn't talk much.

They walked back to the trunk and we drove off when Warren woke up Doc.
