"emma" the soft sound slowly getting louder over the white noise in my head "Emma?" and a strong hand grips my shoulder and i jump and turn around quickly "Hey are you okay? You started freaking out. You looked like you were going tear your skin off" Luke says as i look at him "W-what do you mean?" I ask softly "You were standing there and sort of shifting side to side and it looked like you were clawing at your arms and when i was saying your name you just seemed, else where"
"I'm sorry." I say finally biting my lip and gazing at my feet "I just feel so- i feel so trapped"
I say putting my hand in my hair and tugging a bit, i feel like i'm going insane
"hey, hey, stop." He says pulling at my wrist lightly until i let go of my hair "We can go into town or for a drive or a walk if you want, i'm not sure if that will help but if you don't want to stay here." and i nod "That would be great"
I say finally looking up at him, maybe if we leave here i can finally get away, i can play innocent and broken so he won't think i will do anything, even though i really was going crazy. He smiles at me and i give him a small one back and we stand there before i wrap my arms around his neck and pull him in a hug, he quickly reacts and puts his hands on my waist, I rest my head on his shoulder, which i have to stand on my tip toes since hes like 8 ft tall. As i look over his shoulder i see a zombie, walker, corpse, dead thing what ever you like to call it, but i don't warn him i don't gasp, i don't give any indication it's there i just hug him ever more and if this goes as i'm thinking it will bite him in the back and i can casually stroll away while she eats Luke. Yeah this may seen inhumane or even cross the lines into evil but have you ever heard the zombie quote 'fear the living not the dead' yeah i'm putting that into account now. I fell him start to pull away and i grip tighter "Just a little longer" I whisper and i feel his breath on my ear as he chuckles, but as the zombie draws closer i notice something, something similar that makes my heart stop and Luke notices "Emma?" He asks but i grip his shoulder tightly my knuckles turning white and he takes a step back "emma? Are you okay?"
"luke.....Luke....Luke watch out" i say stumbling back and i lower myself to the ground and cover my face, i couldn't watch him kill her.I hare her body hit the floor with a loud heavy thud then after I feel him grab my arm to help me from the floor "Did you know her or something?" he asks and i shake my head "why were you so afraid?" he asks and i knew he didn't notice, he didn't see like i did. Without saying a word i brush past him and kneel next to her "do you think she had a happy life?Before all this? I would like to think she did" I say brushing my hand on her cheek and i hear Luke behind me and he puts his chin on my shoulder "Emma" He said this with a tone, one that's hard to explain. It sounded of weary and sadness and maybe a little worried too but i couldn't quite put my finger on it. With that i knew he saw, he knew like i knew. I brushed my finger under her eye "This could be me someday you know that?" i say feeling my throat burn and it crawling its way into my nose but i wasn't going to let myself cry. I looked into her eyes. Saw the fog over them, she was dead alright, but it all felt wrong, she looked so young and this is what happened. Before i knew it Luke brushed his hands over her face closing her eyes, and that was the last time i saw her purple eyes like mine, feeling only the pit inside me grow wider and larger than before.
