Chapter 10:
The familiar face of the walker startled him, and he let out a scream. He put a bullet through her head, and moved closer to the camp. He froze on his way there, and back peddled. There, lying dead with a pool of blood rushing from the head wound, was the walker form of Sasha. He bent down and pushed it onto it's side. Her once blue eyes were now white and cloudy. Her long, wavy blonde hair was turning gray and was matted. He put her face down and moved on.
He busted down he door of the cabin, motioned for Jacob to follow, and called out. "Hello? Mianna? Carmen?" A walker popped out and reached for him, until a bullet ran through it's skull. He looked closer. It was Mianna. Her eyes were empty and he knew her soul was gone. Jacob kneeled beside her. "Oh Mianna.." He muttered, pulling her into his arms. The monster gurgled and reached up to bite an unexpectant Jacob. Chris jumped on her head, brain matter and gore spraying everywhere. Jacob slowly stood up, gasping for air. "Are you okay?" Chris asked, worried. Jacob nodded and composed himself.
They slowly made their way back to what had once been the bathroom of the cabin. Chris slowly opened the door, and there was Carmen. She looked up, eyes wide.
"Chris! Jacob!" She sprung up and into their arms. All three embraced before Carmen explained what had happened. "Sasha.. She died. And we were getting ready to put her out. Then, she woke up, and bit Mianna before I could do anything. Mianna cried for help, but I.. I.. Just ran and hid. Like a coward." Carmed said as tears streamed down her face. Jacob held her close and hushed her. "It's all okay now." He whispered. Chris looked over at Mianna's dead body. The bites on her neck, arm, and torso were terrible. Her face: unrecognizable. Her once short, brown hair was now covered in her own brain matter. Chris felt himself gag, and soon vomited on the cabin floor. Carmen looked away in disgust, while Jacob patted his back.
"Did Sam and Sabella ever come back?" Jacob asked. Carmen shook her head. "Ivy!? Where is she!?" Chris looked up, shocked. Carmen backed away, "She never came back." Chris shook his head. "She has to be here. Somewhere. She's alive." Jacob slowly approached him. "Chris, I don't know if-" Jacob stopped when Chris gave him a death glare. "We can't stay here. We need to move on. Find Sam. Sabella. Ivy. We've gotta keep moving." He said. They packed their few belongings, and began to leave. "Wait!" Carmen cried out. "What about.. About.. Their bodies?" She shuddered. "We don't have time. We have to.. Leave them." Chris said solemnly. "We can't do that." Jacob said. Carmen clung to his arm and nodded. "We have to." Chris said sadly. The three moved away from their home, and everything they knew. All in hopes of Chris finding his love...
