Chapter 16
A gentle nudge under my chin bought my attention back to Tristan standing in front of me his eyes shone with concern for me.
“I’m sorry.” It came out as barely a whisper but I knew he had heard me because his lips turned down the slightest before he smoothed out the frown and replaced it with a gentle smile. Is that what she meant when she said they hide the way they felt about me?
“Don’t say sorry you’ve been through a lot in the past day, how about we go get some food and then you can go lay down in the spare bedroom?” he spoke cautiously like he didn’t want to overwhelm me, they are so kind to me. I’m scared of what they are going to want in return of all this kindness, what are they going to make me do to pay back the burden I’ve placed on them by being here?
“Ok.” I looked back up him and sighed, I can’t let these thoughts ruin the right now I can’t let them see how weak I&r

I cleared my throat and let go of Tristan’s hand mumbling an apology when I saw the red marks I had left behind, I didn’t man to keep a death grip on him the whole time.“It’s ok, how about we make you a snack?” he left me at the table and wandered in the pantry before getting kicked out by Theo who tsk’d when Tristan made an approach towards it.“I know you’re not about to even think of setting foot in my kitchen, we both remember what happened last time don’t we?” the hard look on Theo’s face peaked my interest in the situation. Tristan came to sit next to me grumbling about how it was an accident and he didn’t mean to do it. I giggled a little at him before turning my attention towards Theo however not before I noticed Tristan perk up at the sound of my giggle.“Uh what happened last time, if you don’t mind me asking?” I stifled my laugh as tristan groa

“Bailey?” Theo gently questioned the concern made me feel a bit of guilt for the way I ran out of the room but there we go again her making me unable to trust myself and those around me, I have no one but myself to blame. It’s always been all my fault.“Bailey, are you ok? You scared me I’m not sure what’s wrong but its ok if you just wanted to rest, I’ve out clean sheets and a clean blanket on the bed so you can have a lay down. It’s getting late so I’m going to go to bed and Tristan is going to sleep on the couch if you need anything just yell out ok hunny?” his voice was unsure and sounded a little bit hurt as I backed away from the desk, I didn’t bother to reply not wanting my voice to give away how guilty I was feeling and how weak I was for running away like that.I heard Theo sigh through the door before his foot steps faded leaving me to my own devices, I feel horrible for making him feel like he

“Fucking stupid door, Bailey don’t move I’m going to go find Tristan. I’ll be back please trust me.” I heard him sprint down the hall followed by the sound of the front door slamming shut. I finally got to the desk and began to push it with everything I had in me but it just wouldn’t budge. I cried out in pain and frustration, why do I let her talk my into he stupid situations. They wouldn’t have hurt me at all, not once did I hear them try to get into my room last night nothing even came past my room. They were so willing to help me recover and help me to feel comfortable that they went to this extent, I breathed in deeply and braced my hands against the desk digging into the floor with all my might as the desk began to move. I got the desk out the way enough and crawled backwards a little before the sound of thunderous steps came rushing to the room I was currently in.“Bailey move away from the door now, I’m going to tr

I can’t help but look around me as I run down the abandoned street. My canvas clad feet smacking harshly against the dirt road with my increasing stride. The early morning sun making it easy to see as the darkness lifts. My breathing became deafening as I continue to tire. I need to push on they need the medicine.You’re not going to make it, the fever will kill all those effected all because you weren’t quick enough. That’s why they abandoned you the first time, isn’t it? You weren’t quick enough, It’s all your fault they left you. My subconscious speaks like I am a five year old in need of a scolding.My uneven breathing grows harsh as my throat closes up with memories rushing back from my subconscious’ taunting. My fingers automatically go to the left side of my forehead to trace the ridge of the scar to its end just below my right eye.Why is it whenever I’m alone I always en

I pant as my feet carry me towards the compound, I wonder if anyone will be alive and if they are will they be happy to see me?The scent of iron became heavy in the air as I slow to a jog. The compound looks daunting as the gun shots echo around. Where is everyone?Just as the thought came to mind the gunshots and screams silenced, the roaring in my ears was deafening as I pushed my way past the fallen debris to look for any sign of life but I knew I wouldn’t find what I was looking for, the realisation that I was completely alone yet again dawns on me as I came across a body. It was one of the teenagers that also had been taken in, I stare at his horribly disfigured body and I came to the conclusion that this attack was caused by those monsters, if they were still around I need to gather all the supplies I could before they found me or before the corpses reanimated I quietly search the bodies I could reach without having to leave the cover provided by the debri

It won’t work... here let me demonstrate. You throw the bottle and it shatters on a rock away from you, you wait a minute with baited breath as the shrieks head towards the bottle. Now! It’s your chance, you start for the building but…but you step on a stick and it snaps. Oh no! they’re coming for you, bam! You’re caught and ripped into shreds. My subconscious chuckles as my hand picks up the transparent glass bottle, I just need to throw it far enough that they will run away from me. That way I can make a run for the building and barricade myself inside. My hands start to sweat with the tension running through my body, I grip the bottle tight as my breathing became heavy. I prepare to lob the bottle

Fuck there is two of them. How am I supposed to take them down? You can’t. You should take that shard and slit you wrist now. You can’t take two of them down. No matter how weak they are. Remember you are weaker than them. Shut up! Just remember I offered you an easy way out. I gripped the shard firmly as I reassessed the creatures behind me. I was right, they’re sickly looking. They’re barely standing. They were in the same place but their heads were tilted backwards as if they were concentrating on something. Were they listening? Were my footsteps too loud? I shook away the impending anxiety as I peered around for a distraction. I need to lure them away from each other. I spotted a rock and slid my hand along the dirt until I felt the rough surface, not taking my eyes away from the group. I carefully picked the rock up and tested the weight in my hand, would they
