Everything Is Lost (RICK GRIMES TWDFF)

Chapter 6- The Day Before

 Not spelled checked

  It's  only been an hour in the truck and no body has said a word. Well that is until i break it.

"Why did you both tag along? I haven't  been here for even a day and you two are following me like a damn puppy. You guys don't  even know me!" I remark the truth. 

They remain silent so i seize  the truck on the curb.

"This car isn't  turning on till I get answers." The only sound I can hear is our breathing.

That is until Luke responds. "You're  like a damn radio  host.  Babbling on about questions and shit. "

"I want answers! Doesn't  seem a bit weird for you two to go with me when you don't  have a clue what I've  done to people-" I stop myself.  "You don't  know my full back ground. My stories. You don't  know if i was a murder or if I am now.  Nothing. Nada. Zip.  Jack squat!" I reply in frustration  with these people.

The truth is that in this new world we live in, everyone becomes a murderer.  If you're  not, then you're  weak. And the weak die in this world. 

Luke grabs my attention  by no words.  I look at jis face and sadness reads it all. 

"I'm sorry..." I grip the wheel with so much pressure to relieve stress.

The dead silence  in this car leaves tension in the air. I continue to look at Luke and with his puppy eyes, he looks away.

"Before you came, we took in people but Pete or Nick would get out of control. Find way to banish them. If they didn't  comprehend  then they would put them out of their 'suffering'" I wipes his face.

"My brother was never like that and leaving him kills  me completely  but when you came alone, I couldn't  let them do that to you because you were alone.  When i saw you scavenging with your wound, -" He stops right there then rethinks.

"I just couldn't  let them do it. They've  done it to women, men and children." Looking back at Clem he manages to get a few words out of his mouth.

"I saved her. They're  just crazy Amia."

The awkward  silence  fills the air yet again so I decide wake the car from being dormant and go down the road.

"Then whay about that little girl? And Carlos?"  I can feel my heart ache. If it wasn't  for them, i woukd have been dead.

To be honest, im scared to die. I've  tried to end it all but i would  chicken out. Refuse believing  that someone is still out there for me.

Luke grabs me from my thoughts.

"Sarah.  Her name is Sarah. They didn't  tell you because they just didn't  trust you. But we were  together for a while.  Clem wasn't  even allowed  to be by her either. Only  because Sarah doesn't  know how to survive.  If she steps into the outdoors,  she's  as good as gone." He swipes his forehead once again.

To be honest,  Luke is this  carimg man that saved me.  He has this sweet personality that is just so rare in this diseased  world. He's  a crystal.

I'm  tempted  to break this silence  by escaping  a few words but i know right now, these two arent. I let it be.

  "We can stay here guys.  It's  close to the hospital and sleeping the store wont be the worse idea.  I mean atleast it's  outside of the city." Clem freezes.

"The city?" She gulps in horror.

"Luke, i hope you knew the hospital  is in the city." It breaks my heart knowing that this little girl is tagging along with us. She reminds  me of my nieces. She seems fragile. 

"We'll talk about thisnonce we get inside.  It's  getting dark and we are  hitting the spot light." I take a look out my window and we have walkers chasing us like fans would. 

Pulking out my knife, i step out if the safety  of my truck and plunge  it in one of their skulls.  If it wasn't  for this world, my mind would have wondered  off.   But now, now it's  focused  on living to the best i can possibly  do. 

Soon after we kill a few in front of the store, Luke stops us. 

"I'll  go in first.  This isn't  so big but i want  to make sure it's  safe for you two." He glances at Clem then at me but his stare is longer. 

"Woah Luke you can't.  What if there is more than you can handle?" Clem worries for Luke. I bud agreeing with Clem.  Luke tries to convince  us to stay but he can't.  Clem and I are stern. 

"Follow my lead." He says quietly. As we open the door, the dinner bell rings.  Great.  Just what we need.  I let Clem go in front  of me so if anything, I can protect her. 

We stop in our tracks. The shuffling  of foot steps  causes us to look left and right.   Luke decides to be a hero and look for it.  I would call for his name but i know it would only be worse so we follow him. 

The groan of a walker gets louder and I don't  think Luke knew we were  behind him because as i step on a crunchy wrapper, he grasps the collar of my shirt.  After he sees it's  me, he removes his hand from my shirt and lets go. "Im sorry" he whispers. 

I stare at him deeply wanting to give him a hug but Wrong time.  The sound of the thud grabs our attention  and we run to where we think it happened.  There stands Clem over the walker wit her knife in her hand. 

This girl just kicked ass.

I see you people reading this and i get no votes. All well, I just hope you're  enjoying this all
