~~~~~~~Chapter 14: The World Goes On~~~~~~~~~~~
Jinx snuggled closer to Wally in bed and sighed happily at how warm and safe she felt wrapped up in his arms.
"I should go on patrol now honey" Wally said as he nuzzled her neck and smiled.
"Ok" She replied and waited for him to move but he didn't. He just held her tighter in his muscular arms. Jinx giggled and rolled over to she was facing the most handsome man she had ever seen.
"I thought you just said you had to go" Jinx whispered and Wally just shrugged.
"I say a lot of things… but I think were saying to much and doing to little" He leaned down and kissed her softly.
Jinx wrapped her arms around his neck and Wally slid his hand down her waist to pull her closer to him when suddenly the doorbell rang and both groaned.
"I swear the whole world is a total cock block" Wally let Jinx go as he rolled out of bed and walked down stairs to answer the door.
Speedy was waiting at the door with a look of concern on his face.
"What's up?" Wally stepped outside and closed the door behind him.
"We got some new survivors that came in earlier. I tried to ask Richard about it but he told me not to worry and leave it to him and Slade." Speedy crossed his arms and looked around the street before facing Wally.
"Hm. Well then we should do as he says for now… Why did you come to me?" Wally asked.
"Well I also wanted help to patrol the outer wall… There have been stragglers popping up and I got together a small group to walk around and see if the stragglers are wandering a path we can some how cover up." Wally nodded and both parted as Wally left back inside.
He walked upstairs and opened the door to see Jinx laid out on his bed in one of his t-shirts and he groaned.
"Like I said… the world is a cock block!" he walked to the closet and pulled out his sneakers and shoved his feet in them.
"Who was that?" Jinx sat up and wrapped her arms around her legs as she pulled them to her chest.
"It was Speedy… He needs me on a patrol around the outer wall for stragglers." He made sure the knot was fastened as he looked to her and made a pout at her worried face.
"Aw don't worry honey, I'll be fine" He walked up to her and kissed her softly.
"If I hurry now I'll be back for dinner" He kissed her softly again and nipped at her lower lip.
"Maybe even… some after dinner fun?" Jinx smiled at that last part and Wally pulled away and walked to the door.
"Lock up behind me and I love you" He looked her in the eyes before heading out and Jinx locking the front door.
"I love you too" She whispered and walked back upstairs to relax.
Garfield walked to the open field that he had his accident at. Raven was pulled away for some doctor stuff so he left a note on the table and headed out to check on the animals. Walking down the street he greeted the people he saw and continued to the pasture.
Once there he saw Greta a brown cow with a brand in her side from a previous owner. Garfield patted her head and she let out a happy moo to be noticed.
"Hey Greta, how's it shaking? Or should I say milk shaking? Haha I still got it" Garfield chuckled and walked to the chicken coup to check the chickens.
After greeting the animals and checking on the horses hooves, Garfield made his way to the spot where he had his accident. He reached the post and stared down into the brown grass that had his dried blood on it. Garfield knelt next to it and ran his hand over the brown patch.
"Your alive eh?" Garfield snapped his head up to see Billy walk in with hammer in one hand and a bucket of nails in the other.
"Ya… sorry if I scared you" Garfield stood back up and wiped his hands off.
"You didn't scare me… Just next time let me know when you don't know how to do something and maybe I can do it for you" He set the bucket and hammer down on a bench and walked to a white horse and dumped a bucket of green leafs into its feeding bucket.
"Billy stop!" Garfield took the leafs and threw them out of the feeding bucket.
"What the hell is you're problem? Did that kick to the head mess with you're brain? It's called F-O-O-D the animals eat it when they get hun-gr-y" Billy said the last part like he was a five year old.
"No I'm as sharp as ever! But you seem to not know what the hell you're doing! That's clover weed! It's poisonous to horses!" Garfield went outside and picked up some hay from the pile and brought it to the horses bowl.
"Good thing I haven't been gone long" Garfield sighed and Billy glanced to the hammer and back to Garfield.
"Ya… good thing" Billy then stormed away as Garfield ran his hand threw the horse's hair smiling.
Raven sat by Malchior's side as she thought about what he said. She patched him up and Kori fixed up the girl and both worked on the other two. Richard took Hal's body out to the burial yard and gave him a proper burial. Raven wondered why they needed to sedate the survivors.
Kori left with Cheshire, who walked her home for a nap since all the excitement. Richard left to check on her and Raven was told to wait outside but she came back in to look over them all again. Raven walked to Malchior's side and blushed at how handsome he looked. He wasn't as handsome at Garfield but he had a certain charm to him that made her blush.
Looking down to his ribs she checked the bandaging when her eyes wandered to his pants to see a white paper poking out of the pocket. Raven looked around the room to see everyone was still asleep and bit her lip as she reached forward and grabbed it. It was folded very neatly and she was about to unfold it when she heard the front door open so she shoved it in her lab coat.
Slade opened the door and his eyes landed on Raven who was trying to not look like she just stole something and smiled weakly and looked back down to her patient.
"Ah Raven… I was told this room would be empty, but this is just fine" Slade walked towards her and she moved to Lauren's table to look at her bandages.
"Sorry I thought I heard a groan and came to check on them… I am a care taker so my first priority is to assist the wounded even if it breaks the orders I was given" Raven bit her lip.
"Then I see that I gave you the right job…" Slade walked to the opposite end to the table she was standing at and looked down to the body of Lauren.
"You know… my offer still stands" He watched her intensely and she wished he could leave now.
"No thank you Mr. Slade. Now I should go since Richard asked me to wait outside." She left as Slade watched her go and he turned to the bodies on the table with a grim look.
Raven left and she felt like she could feel the weight in her coat pocket from the paper she took. Once she got home she ran to the kitchen and pulled out the paper. She began to unfold it to see a map of the area as well as notes at the bottom in red ink. Some areas were circled, other's crossed out and there was only one star next to the ocean. At the bottom was a one note in black ink that read, 'see journal'.
Raven tilted her head and wondered what the journal could have in it. Suddenly she realized how quiet the house was and re-folded the map and slipped it into a drawer in the living room.
"Garfield?" She called out and was about to go upstairs when she saw a note on the coffee table for her. After reading it she groaned and left to the field to find him.
Wally held up his gun as he walked back to back with Speedy and Bushido while Red star and Pantha watched from above the wall with rifles.
"Any movement?" Speedy asked and he got negatives from everyone. A bush shook and all guns pointed to it.
A minute later a marsh rabbit hopped out and everyone sighed. "False alarm on-" Speedy was interrupted when a groan came out and all guns went up.
A little girl walked out with her cheek's missing and blood covering her pink nightgown. Wally thought she looked no older then eight as she held up her hands and stumbled towards them. The bar fence had her stop but her tiny hands reached threw them as if to try and squeeze threw.
Speedy rushed forward with a knife and stabbed her threw the skull and she fell like a sack of potatoes. Bushido bowed his head and said a prayer to his ancestors for guidance to the child's spirit.
"We continue now." Speedy walked forward and they rounded the wall to see bloody hand prints on the wall.
"Damn it… How can there be handprints on the second wall? There has to be a break in one of the fences." Speedy growled and they made there way down the fence. It was quite a walk but as they were rounding the next wall they all froze in there steps.
In front of them were 20 or so cages in zombies that were stuck between a iron cast fence and a cement wall… They noticed one side was bent open farther down that stragglers were rounding but they were so closed in they didn't know where to go.
"Back away slowly" Speedy whispered and the two nodded.
Slowly they began to back away when Bushido stepped on a twig and everyone froze as all the rotting heads seemed to slowly turn in there direction.
"Fuck" Wally gritted his teeth.
"Run" Speedy opened fire onto the crowd and the three made a dash for it. The zombies all turned to the sound of gun fire and began to stumble towards it.
Five fell to the ground from the bullets, only 3 dying as the other two got trampled by the zombies walking over them. Wally was ahead and Pantha and Red Star came into view from the top wall and he called out to open the gate. They ran and did as they were told and Bushido and Wally raced threw but no signs of Speedy.
"Fuck he was right behind us!" Wally cried out as he made a run to go back out.
"No don't you'll be killed" Pantha cried but he didn't listen. As he rounded one corner to see Speedy clutching his leg but all the zombies were still pretty far back.
Rushing to his side Wally grabbed him and began to drag him from the zombies outstretched arms. He pulled out his own gun and fired on the walking dead.
"Just leave me! We will both die if-" Speedy was cut off by Wally firing another bullet.
"Shut up and let me kill these damn things!" He fired until his bullet's ran out and only a few zombies milled towards them.
Wally saw the opening and Bushido ran out and helped Wally pull Speedy in as Red star and Pantha closed the gate and began to shoot at the zombies from the safety of the gate.
Wally and Bushido laid Speedy on the ground and he still clutched his leg which was bleeding pretty bad.
"Were you bit?" Wally asked as he watched the blood pool down.
"No… Ricochet bullet hit the bar and came back at me. Fuck this hurts" He sucked in a breath and closed his eyes.
"Go get one of the girls" Wally told Bushido who nodded and sprinted to Kori's house which was closer and retrieved her.
Raven walked to the pasture to see Garfield sitting on the fence to the horses pin and feeding a white horse some hay. She smiled as she walked closer until she was behind him.
"Hm seems you follow doctors instructions very well" She saw him jump a bit and then relax as he turned to her with a sheepish smile that made her blush a bit.
"Oh uh Raven! I just needed to check on the animals and uh- I-" She held up her hand silencing him.
"It's fine Garfield… I was just worried…. But you seem more than fine." Raven felt a chill go by from the winter air and tightened her coat.
"You should be wearing a jacket though… A concussion and a cold is not a good combination." She leaned on the fence he was sitting on and looked up to him with a playful smirk.
"Well I'm done here now anyways.. How about we head home and have dinner?" Garfield jumped down and took her hand into his as he smiled down at her with so much love that it made Raven wonder if he really did care for her in the way she cared for him.
"Sure" She gripped his hand and walked back to there place, relishing in the fact that she was holding hands with the man she loved who was awake and alive.
"So Raven… About that kiss…" Garfield said and Raven felt her pace go pale and a blush creep up her neck.
Slade stood over the white haired man and then glanced to the others. Just as he was about to leave and ask when they would awaken, the white haired man stirred.
"Ugh who… Alaska" He cracked his eyes open to a smiling man and he squinted at the lights above.
Next to him Lauren stirred as well as the others and Slade walked to stand in the middle of the room.
"Hello fellow survivors, welcome to the compound" He smirked as they all looked to him with curiosity.
