zombie apocalypse | the fallen (book One) [REWRITING]

chapter 27

"zoe" the southerner repeats. You nod with a raised eyebrow. " I'm lydia. That's nate, brennen, jessi and copying machine over there is ellis (lowkey left for dead 2 ellis yes ssshhh). are you alone?" "in a way" "what do you mean?" "im not writing it all out in blood so if you want answers give me a pencil and paper" you stop writing and wipe your hands off once again. "alright. That means you have to come with us then" you think for a moment. You may not know them but you can't stand Elaine anymore so you just nod.

As you walk around the overrun city you hear gunshots. 'dammit Elaine' everyone stops and looks at each other than takes off towards her. You follow too. "Zoe! What in the hell are you doin' wandering off?! You could of gotten killed!" you just smack her and stare at her. She gives you wide eyes. "You need to get over it Zoe. Prestons gone. Move on. We have bigger problems then your boyfriend." without thinking you jump on her and start strangling her. The others freeze for a moment deciding whether to get involved or not. Finally lydia pulls you off of Elaine. You whimper when she touches you. You don't like being touched. Elaine stands up coughing. "Zoe, you have every reason to be upset. But at the same time i saved you" you turned to lydia and made a writing motion. She nodded and went looking for what you need.

A few moments later she returns. You start writing a whole ass novel. "saved me? I didn't want to be. Preston should of made it out. We all should have. I could have saved him if you let me go! They weren't even near him yet! I have every fucking right to be upset. You don't know me. You don't understand how i work. You don't tell me what i need to get over. Nobody would ever love somebody like you so you'd never fucking get it. You're a bitch who follows people around for dick cus you can't get someone to actually love you. I ran off because i want absolutely nothing to do with you. I just spared your life by going off my own way because i could of fucking killed you at any point during this trip. You killed Preston. You killed all i had left. And now you're gonna pay for it" you throw the paper at her. Once she finishes reading and looks up scared and confused you shoot her. But not in the head. You want her to suffer.

"Zoe are you crazy?!" lydia basically yells. You just nod your head and pick up the paper giving it to her. She reads it. "you're upset. I get it. We all lose the ones we love. That doesn't mean we should kill others. It'll come back and bite them in the ass on its own" you just look at her. You turn back to Elaine. She looks up at you. You turn your head to the right and kick her in the side where you shot her. She screams out in pain and cries. You crouch down next to her and watch her eyes lose their light as she stops moving and breathing.

You stand up and just look at her. You shrug and start walking away. Everyone just kinda looks at you. "zoe?" ellis says catching up to you. You stop and look at him with fire in your eyes. He steps back not wanting to overstep boundaries. The others make their way over. "Are you okay? Like you seem pretty...upset?" he asks in a serious and concerned tone. You let out a breathy laugh and shake your head no. Everything suddenly hits you and you start crying. You turn away and walk. They follow behind you. "We have a house a couple hours away if you want to come back with us." lydia offers. You turn around and look at everyone. Although they have fear brewing in their eyes they nod. They somewhat understand your lashout. You nod back and keep walking assuming your going the right way. Luckily you are.
