In the Apocalypse

Sisters of Mercy

I figured I better put a trigger warning here just in case. So anyway. 

TRIGGER WARNING: talk about abuse (Physical and sexual). You have been warned.

"Murphy, what did you do?" I asked as someone ran into something ,making a clanging noise that echoed through the tunnel. 

"Me? I didn't do anything." Murphy defended himself. 

"Sorry." Doc spoke up. 

"See it wasn't me." Murphy said. 

"Shh." Warren shushed us. I heard footsteps. Doc running into whatever he ran into must have caught the attention of zombies. 

Then to our surprise, it wasn't a zombie that walked into the tunnel. It was two people. A male and a female if I'm correct. 

"Hold it right there." Warren said with her gun raised. I had my shotgun pointed at them too. Doc and Cassandra had their pistols raised. 10K stood back with his rifle.

The people turned and faced us. I got blinded by their flashlight. Then I could see who it was. 

"Oh, it's the damn wonder twins." Murphy spoke up. 

"Addy!" I exclaimed and went forward to hug her. She seemed very awkward about the hug but didn't push me away. I pulled away and let the others welcome her back too. 

"Never, I mean never ,in a million years, truly did I think I'd see you again." Doc said welcoming Addy and Mack. 

I hugged Mack. "I'm glad you guys are back." I told him.

"We're glad to be back." He stated. "Citizen Z send you guys here?"

"Yeah, he told us there was food and somebody called Chester who could help us out." Cassandra told him. 

"Yeah, he told us that too. We're starting to have our doubts." Mack told her. 

"Okay, well he should be ,you know what, right down here. Let's hit it." Warren told us. Addy and Murphy followed her first. 

"I got you ,boo." I told Cassandra, wrapping an arm around her waist. She wrapped her arm around my shoulder as I helped her walk forward.

She had gotten caught in some barbed wire. We didn't have much to clean it with ,just water. Now her leg is infected. It's pretty bad too. Everywhere we've been since then I've been keeping an eye out for any medication that would help.

We walked down the hall after Warren. She stopped at a door and knocked. People still knock now a days? There was no answer so she opened the door.

"Hello!" Warren called. She opened the door more and went in carefully. She was making sure the room was clear. 

"Well, I guess we found Chester." Addy walked over to the body in a chair by a computer. "Hello, Chester." Addy said before proceeding to hit him with her Z wacker. Over and over and over. 

You wouldn't even be able to recognize him if you'd known him. Besides, he was dead dead, not zombie. We all looked at her uneasily. 

What happened to them while they were out there?

"Someone got up on the wrong side of the apocalypse." Murphy commented. 

No kidding.  

Warren went over to Mack. They exchanged a few quiet words.

"Chester? You got 'em yet? You got my team?" We heard from another room. It sounded like Citizen Z. The group headed that direction and I helped Cassandra again. "Hello? Anyone?" He asked as we walked into the room. "Warren? Addy? Chris, it's... Hey, hey, hey! Up here!"
