Divergent ~ zombie apocalypse

Chapter 17

Tris's POV

We stay at this place for a mouth.

We start to develop a routine.

Breakfast, assigned job, lunch, job, dinner, relaxing, bed.

Christina was outside keeping watch.

When we were at breakfast we hear a giant gunshot and stare at each other wide eyed.

Zeke stands up and runs outside.

We could hear him from out here.

"YOU FREAKING JUST KILLED US ALL GET INSIDE WE NEED TO GO NOW."

He all stare at each other blinking.

"You heard me," he says once they get inside. "Let's go."

We all scramble to get our things.

By eight o clock he have all our stuff and a plan that we would go where we started off at. The small camper.

And were off.

It's three miles from here.

We run and run and run, for what seems like days. The sun has come down and we shoot all the walkers that pass.

We pass a street corner.

I look behind me and scream.

Everyone stops and turns around.

There are about 80 of them

Not walkers.

Runners.

My worst nightmare.

We all sprint.

There's two paths, one that leeds to a giant cliff and one that leads to another street.

Four pulls me so that I'm not trapped running off the cliff.

Then I see her.

She looks horrified.

Crying running.

The runners left no barricade. She's trapped.

Her only options are to jump off the cliff or turn into a zombie.

I can't move I can't scream I can't breathe.

Marlene.

She's going to die.

"URIAH," she screams at the top of her lungs.

Everyone snaps there attention to her.

She presses her hands to her eyes and jumps off.

"MARLENE," he screams, and tries to run after her.

Zeke holds him back.

"ITS NOT WORTH IT," he screams," she's gone."

I remember how we meant, how she smiled widely, how she laughed, how she made everyone calm. She made every situation better. I'm not going to be able to live without her. But I guess I have to now.

Uriah drops on his knees, crying.

Zeke pulls him up by the wrist.

"NO TIME FOR THAT." He snaps and we all run. Some of the runners are behind us. Four shoots them and we continue running. Uriah sniffing beside me. Wiping his face often.

Then we reach the campground.
