Have a Safe Trip Home

"Were friends? How about being a pal and pull this knife out of my back?"

Chapter Thirteen

~Angel's POV~

Why did I agree to this? I couldn't answer the question no matter how hard I tried. I was walking beside a girl who took my....my... what was he to me? He said it himself, he didn't know what we were so he doesn't care. Who needs him anyway, he has Alice's company now for all I care. I was fuming beside her and I didn't know if she knew I watched her kiss Carl, or if she was plain retarded. We walked silently for a couple minutes until I noticed we were veering off a different path, a path I didn't know.

"Were going the wrong way." I stated, looking back and realizing I didn't know any of this area. I looked at Alice and she smiled and shook her head at me.

"There is a school up here, and its completely empty. Before you found me, I searched it and found tons of supplies. I took what I could and left, and I wanted to see if there was any left in there. Trust me, I know what I'm doing." I shrugged and followed beside her, scoffing at the word Trust. That word had no meaning to me anymore, it was useless. Dried up of all its magic, this word has been used too much for anyone to care for it now. She seemed honest, but you could never know about her anymore. I had an urge to shove her to the ground, strangle her and scream at her for playing with my emotions and taking Carl away from me.

I restrained myself from doing anything that could harm a person, and really wished a Biter would come up so I could smash its head against something. As we walked, I waited and waited for a Biter to show up, but none came the time spent walking. My feet throbbed from the uneven rocks and deep trenches, but Alice suddenly stopped. I came to a halt beside her and she turned to me.

"Can I please have my gun?" I asked, my voice being a little bit too harsh then intended. She didn't react and slowly reached for my pistol. I held my hand out, but I heard a crack of lightening and a loud pop. I looked up to the sky, no dark clouds, no raindrops, just the same Georgia sun. That is, until I felt a searing pain spread across my leg. A cry escaped my lips as I looked down and saw my leg bleeding. In the middle of my thigh, was my crimson blood quickly turning my jeans into a different color. I gasped and it felt like all the air was knocked out of me. I dropped to my knees and my right leg shrieked in agony. I groaned and gripped my leg and looked up.

"There you go." Alice said calmy, her eyes blank but filled with insanity. This wasn't the Alice I helped back in the woods, she has finally revealed her true self. Her left eye started twitching and her breathing turned into giggles until it was full out laughter. I nashed my teeth together and squeezed my leg tightly to keep the blood to stop flowing. I covered my wound with my hand and started to stand up. Alice instantly stopped laughing, like someone had turned on a switch. Tears rolled down her face and her bottom lip trembled.

"I couldn't stop them Carl! There were too many, she ran out of bullets. She distracted the others while I escaped, she wanted me to go. I couldn't save her!" She cried out, her voice breaking and cracking as she sobbed. She stopped after a couple minutes, her tears dried and a smirk played on her lips. Anger coursed through me and pushed the pain out for a short few minutes. I got shakingly to my feet and glared at her.

"How could you! I saved your ass!" She scoffed at me and pointed my gun at my head. I didn't let my stance falter, the blood on my leg making my skin slick with it. I felt like gagging, but held strong and looked into her eyes.

"Are you kidding me!? I didn't need any of your help! I killed my own family Angel! My own family! They couldn't keep up with me, they could never understand this world like I could. So I took them out, I didn't need any of them anymore! When I saw you and Carl, I had to have Carl. He kissed me back Angel, he kissed me back! He wants me, he likes me now, not you! Once he realized your dead and never coming back, I will be the one he can cry on. I will be the one he kisses every day and he will love me and not you!" She cackled like a lunatic and wiped the tears from her eyes.
