The Apocalypse

6. Not Betty!

Eric's POV

It's been a few weeks since I invited Alexis and Ryan into my home. It's been really amazing having someone else here to talk to besides the wall's I just hope mom"s doing ok down there if onl~.

"Hey Eric?"

"What's wrong Alexis?" I turned around and realized not only did she sound upset, she had tears pouring down her face. I pulled her into a huge hug.

"Do you think Ryan is ever gonna be the same? I know things are off between yall since.." she muffled into my shirt.

"Please stop, don't continue what you were saying. I want to forget that ever happened. Please." I pleaded heavily.

"Yes, I do believe he will be ok eventually, he just needs...help, that we can't give him"

I jumped back when I heard a blood curdling scream coming from outside.

"Walkers!" Alexis started freaking out afraid of what's coming.

"Grab Ryan and go upstairs, whatever happens DON'T come out, do you understand?!" I grabbed Alexis by the shoulders waiting for the answer I need.

"Ye..yes" She could barely get her words out as she rushed into the living room, yanking Ryan's still half asleep self upstairs. I didn't move till I heard the door slam shut.

I walked behind the counter and flicked the button to our secrete safe. The wall flipped and out came my most prized items.

I grabbed my sword and an assault rifle making sure it was still loaded. I flipped the switch so it turn's into a normal cabinet once again and I headed over to the blinds in the living room.

I peaked through and noticed there were several walkers surrounded around something huge on the ground having a feast. After unlocking the door, I grabbed my sword and walked up behind the closest zombie, cutting their head clean off.

God I should of worn more comfortable clothing, Ryan Is...God no! Stop thinking about him damnit.

I ran up to the hoard of zombies stabbing them one by one, thanking the heavens for remembering to wear my protective gear.

After they were all down and beheaded I realized what they were eating..

"No, not my beautiful baby!" I crouched down on the verge of tears.

She started moving and I knew I had to put her out of her nightmare. I grabbed my pistol that I keep in my boot and shot her clean in the head.

After surveying the area I went back inside to tell Alexis that Betty was killed, I knew she would miss that beautiful horse. We all will she was so sweet.

I was about to grab the door handle before I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head, then I felt...nothing.
