Survivor (Book #1 of the Survival Series)

Chapter Twenty-Six

"So you first?" I asked turning to Fay. She turned to look at me.

"Seriously?" She asked clearly unamused. I shrugged and held up my wrist. "Fine." She huffed and tried to kick the door. I shook my head and she looked at me, I kicked the door and it didn't budge and I kicked it again and it moved a bit. I decided to do the stupid thing and body checked the door and flew in, and landed on my wrist, again.

"Babe." Luke said walking in behind and helping me up. "You are a walking disaster waiting to happen." He spun me around so I could see his smirk.

"Sorry, but ask Fay, I've always either been a klutz or perfectly fine." I smiled.

"Ew." Fay gagged. I shot her a glare and she knew exactly what it said. "Sorry." She mumbled and walked through the house, Daryl going the opposite direction.

"Downstairs is clear!" They both called. "You two get upstairs."

"Okay." I said as Luke took the lead. I have to be honest, this house was beautiful. It did however have a lot of rooms, and when I say a lot, I mean, a lot. "Holy shit." I mumbled looking at all of the doors along the seemingly endless hallway. "Rick gave us a fucking mansion." I mumbled as I decided to choose the first door. I tapped a few times, I learned that they Walkers are attracted to sound so I would be prepared to attack if necessary, but I was always on high alert, what if the Walker had no legs and could only crawl? If it happened once it can happen again. I heard a dragging sound on the floor and knew immediately that there was one and maybe even two Walkers in the room.

"Luke." I called to him. He came out of the room next to this one, "Back me up?" I asked, he nodded and I turned back to the door. I knew, and even Luke knew that I would never get used to killing Walkers, I only temporarily forget about it when I'm in danger or when I'm mad. I shoved the door in and a crash was heard, I had knocked the Walker into something...oops?

A crawler, as I call them, came at me and I stopped on it's head, maybe more than a few times. When I needed to be aggressive, I was very aggressive.

"Jules," Luke said grabbing my waist and pulling my away, "It's gone. Calm down." He pulled me into a hug and rubbed circles on my back. What's wrong with me? I know I want to be careful but, is this too much? "You okay?" He whispered kissing the top of my head.

"Yeah.." I relaxed, "Let's finish these rooms, it's a nice house. Maybe we could stay here a while?" I asked.

"That's up to Rick." Luke said walking to the other doors.

"Check the closets." I reminded. We quickly checked the rooms. When I had to kill a Walker it was more of a silent death, when Luke had to kill one there was gunshots. "We may need to teach you how to use-" I opened the door but didn't come face to face with a Walker, I came face to face with a music room. "Oh my god.." I whispered. There was a drum kit, a lot of guitars a bass or two, a keyboard and about a dozen microphones and stands.

"What babe?" Luke came running up behind me, "What's the- Holy shit yes!"

My heart basically stopped, if Fay saw all the guitars she may have a few ideas.

"We can finally give you some of our music live." Luke smiled walking over to the guitars. "Do you play?" I shook my head, "Really? Fay said that-"

"I don't want to play." I said trying to hold back tears but it was too late.

"Juli.." Luke said reaching out, "What's wrong?"

"M-m-my Dad...plays...guitar-r..." I said between sobs. My breaths were deep and uncontrolled.

"It's okay..." Luke said wiping the tears off my face. "We'll find him."

That's just it though. I don't know if I want to. He's bad, but he's my Father, he's my everything in life. I won't be able to see him like that.

"Juli? Luke?" Fay's voice sang. I quickly closed the door, with us outside of it. "You finished?" I shook my head, "Which aren't finished?"

"The four at the end of the hall." I said pointing to the four doors.

"Okay, Rick also wants to see you." Fay said walking into the rooms.

"Both?" I called.

"Yes you loser both of you." She called back after firing.

"I'm going to convince Rick that we're staying here." i decided. I walked out the door and saw I sight I didn't want to see.
