Divergent ~ zombie apocalypse

Chapter 14

Tris's POV

We sit around until midnight. We all huddle together. Marlene with Uriah, Lynn and Christina, Zeke and Shauna. me and Four sit awkwardly stare at each other.

I hear the moans and stretches of the flesh eating monsters and I shudder. Four scoots closer to me. I sit on his lap and snuggle into his chest. I hear muffled moans from the walkers and I eventually fall asleep.

I wake up in Fours arms. I look up at his eyes. they are dark blue, unique and deep.

I look around. Everyone else is sleeping, out of exhaustion most likely.

I look back into his eyes.

"You okay?" He whispers.

I shakes my head.

He sighs "me either."

I set my head on his chest and sigh. His hands around my small back.

Everyone wakes up. The air seems to tighten at my throat.

"We can't stay here." Zeke speaks up.

"No dip," Uriah groans.

"We could go to candor." I raise my voice.

Zeke makes a face.

"That could work. Okay guys we leave before sundown."

"Zeke that's suicide." Marlene screams.

He sighs "it's worth the risk, you heard them yesterday those boards are old they can't hold another night."

Everyone nods, hesitating.

"One hour then."

I move next to Christina.

She hasn't moved since we took Will outside.

"Are you going to be okay?"

She shakes her head.

"Will you function?"

"I have for all these years."

"Years?"

"Well it hasn't been years, but it feels like years."

I sigh.

"Guys we need to go."

We head out. We can't shoot, the risk attracting more of them come when it gets dark terrifyings everyone. And Will. We don't try and hide our fear.

Christiana jogs next to me. We walk into a small group of zombies.

"TRIS," there is one right at my face. I shake. I try to squeeze the trigger of my gun. I can't do it, I can't do it.

Four pushes me to the side. Covers me and shoots the zombie.

He glances at me "what's wrong?" he says a steady tone, no concern in his voice.

I shake my head and blink tears from my eyes.

He stares at me, studying my face.

"Let's go," he mumbles. And I follow him facing his back to see his muscles popping out. Stupid thing for me to notice when a bunch of zombies are around us.

We make it past them to another set, shoot and move.

I feel worthless but I can't shot I can't.

It soon reaches sundown, a we reach town.

We all stare at what we see with wide eyes.

"Oh my god, were dead."
