Season One Episode Three Part Two
Ellie's Pov
Coming out of the Caravan the girls took them in, Ellie and Addy were no longer in their jeans, tops and jacket and their hair braided. No now they were dolled up, with tons of make up Addy was wearing like a mini silk dressing gown and short shorts with her hair straightened and Ellie was wearing a red thin strapped top and white short shorts that only just covered her bum with her hair curled and sandels.
"You look beautiful" One of the girls said to them.
"I look like a post- apocalyptic stripper. Jesus" Addy said irritated
"More like bait" the other girl said
"HEY, watch it" Ellie warned the girl giving her a deathly glare. "What is the point of this outfit. It barley covers anything" Ellie grumbled attempting to pull her shorts down, but with little success. So she gave up and started fiddling with her bracelet instead, a nervous habit that she couldn't get rid off but also a comfort it was a gift from her sister.
"Look at you two' Tobias said to them, he was watching them from a few feet away cooking meat on a barbecue. "Mother will be so pleased. Supper will be ready soon. Set the table,and set a place of honor for our guests next to mother" He said to the girls who did as they were told and left Addy and Ellie.
"Don't worry" Ellie said to Addy grabbing her hand, squeezing it softly to reassure her. She sent a smile her way. "Mack won't stop till he finds you and I pity anyone who comes across Warren. They are coming for us ok?. We just got to wait them out".
Warren's Pov
As they were chasing Cassandra they could she was heading to a door with a staircase leading down so Warren, Mack and Garnett went the other way down some stairs that met the ones Cassandra was going to. As Cassandra got down the stairs she turned her back probably to make sure she wasn't followed, so Warren grabbed the unsuspecting girl from behind and threw her against the wall holding her into place.
"Enough! All right Cassandra" Warren shouted a bit breathlessly. Cassandra also breathing heavily, both from fear and exertion. "No more bullshit".
"Tell us what you know, NOW!" Garnett shouted also out of breath
"All right I know them" Cassandra said seeing no other option "They're are part of a group of survivors. A family of sorts. But more like a cult actually. Led by a man name Tobias Campbell. I can't go back there. I wont go back there" Cassandra said shaking her head
"You'll do whatever the hell we need you to do to get Addy and Ellie back!" Mack shouted at her almost hysterical
"You don't know these people. They're dangerous" Cassandra tried to explain to them
"So are we" Warren said getting into Cassandra's face
"Not like they are. Tobias and the others are worst than Zs" Cassandra said sounding like she was holding back tears. "I thought I got away from them, but then Travis spotted me with you"
"Did Ellie know?" Mack asked her "She helped you with that guy Travis, so did she know?"
"She knew a little, she overheard a conversation so she put some of the pieces together. But it was no where near the whole story and then she saw they way I reacted when I spotted them earlier so she knew it was more too it. But I never gave her the chance to ask, I ran from them and she must of followed me and then must of spotted Addy".
"Why are you so afraid of them" Mack asked her
"You don't get it" Cassandra said "You don't pick who you survive with. At first I though I was lucky. They started out like everybody else. Tobias was smart. He was strong. He saved us. But then black summer came, and everything went to hell. Some where along the way, he lost his mind and …. and we lost our souls. And I'm not going back there!"
"What are they gonna do with Addy and Ellie" Mack asked her
Cassandra hesitated before answering, tucking her hair behind her ears she said 'Tobias has this weird control over people. He can make you do terrible things'
"What do you mean?" Warren asked fed up of Cassandra deflecting "Rape?"
"No, he'll use them as bait"
"Bait?" Garnett asked "What, do they rob people?"
"Not just rob"
"Murder them?!" Warren shouted at her
"NO!" Cassandra said equally as loud "Not rape. Not murder. They don't just kill their victims. It's WORSE" Cassandra said sagging back into the wall, leaning down on her legs with her face in her arms. Sobs wrecking through her body as she cried.
*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
"Let's go have a look around" Ellie said to Addy."You never know we might be able to find a way out or something we can use as a weapon" Looking towards Addy she could that she was looking fearfully at Tobias. "Hey" Ellie said getting her attention "I wont let him or anyone else touch you alright? Come on let's take a break from this weird family and see what we can find." Ellie said taking Addy's hand and leading her away.
Walking towards a little cave with sheets blocking the entrance they both walked through but could see nothing through the darkness until Ellie heard a click and light flickered next to her.
"I'm surprised they let you keep that" Ellie said to her a smile on her face.
"I got a few tricks up my sleeve" Addy said to her also smiling.
Looking around Addy managed to find a light switch near the wall as she turned it on it illuminated the room, but what the light revealed in the room made Ellie think they had just stepped into a horror movie. There were all sorts of knife on the walls, electric saws, weighing scales. And in the middle of the room was a table with a sheet on it and something was under the sheet.
"Oh I hope we're not eating dogs" Addy said raising her hand to lift up the sheet. "Oh, god". But when she lifted up the sheet it didn't reveal a dog or any animal it was a person's feet attached to legs and one of the feet were missing. Addy gasped as she backed away her breathing getting heavy. Hearing this Ellie looked towards her and then down at the table her hand going to her mouth when she was what Addy saw.
"Oh my god" Ellie gasped walking closer "That's attached" she said lifting the other end of the sheet up and jumping back in fear when she saw a face looking at her, an alive face who's screams were muffled by stitches in his mouth.
Looking back at Addy she saw her covering her mouth muffling her screams. But Ellie could also hear more muffled cries for help. Looking at another sheet blocking of an area, she pulled it across which revealed more alive bodies wrapped in cloths and hung up on a hook, several limbs were missing on each body and they had something pumping through their bodies through a drip.
"They're freaking cannibals, this is so something you should of told me about Cassandra" Ellie said backing away towards Addy fear evident in her voice, but as she looked towards Addy she could see her backing away too tears in her eyes, fear all across her face before she legged it out of the room.
"Addy wait" Ellie said quickly grabbing a small knife of the table and sticking it down her waistband before running to catch up to her.
"Oh God! Oh NO! Oh God! Oh No! NO!" Ellie could hear Addy screaming in terror as she left the cave, so she sped up and when she left the cave she could see Tobias had Addy in his arms a smile on his face as she cried.
"Get off her" Ellie shouted to him as she ran closer to them and Tobias just stared at her before moving Addy to Ellie who immediately wrapped Addy in a hug brushing her hand down her hair as she comforted the crying girl, her body shaking.]
"Supper's ready" Tobias suddenly announced making both girls jump and Addy cried even harder and Ellie couldn't help but let a few tears out thinking about the poor people who were being used as food and how they were going to get out of this situation
10k's Pov
They were all standing around the vehicle with 10k and Murphy sat on the truck while Cassandra told them everything about Tobias and his family.
"There was this farmer. Had the smartest pig in the world, Arnold. This pig could read and do Math. Arnold was famous. And then one day the farmer's friend, he comes over and he sees Arnold tripping around on three legs. And he says to the farmer, 'Hey what happened to poor Arnold? And the farmer says 'Smart pig like that, you don't eat him all at once" Murphy finished laughing sitting on the bonnet of the truck while everyone else looked at him like he was insane. "Oh what? to soon?"
"We didn't start out as cannibals" Cassandra explained trying to justify herself
"Cannibals? How is that even possible?" Garnett asked "Everything's infected with the zombie virus. If you kill it and eat it,you'll get the live virus".
"But if you eat it alive… We were people just trying to survive. Tobias saved me. First from the Z's
Then from the worst of humanity. He was a good man, then his wife got sick. She just couldn't take it any more. And he was never the same after that… When black summer came and everyone in the world was starving he swore he would do whatever it took to keep us alive and he did".
"I'm going back for them" Mack said grabbing his backpack of the bed of the truck
"Hang on Mack" Garnett said blocking his path.
'Garnett, do not try to stop me'
"Nobody's gonna try and stop you, we're all going back" Garnett said "We just need a plan"
"You don't understand! These people are worse than Z's" Cassandra said "They'll kill all of you!" She shouted
"Yeah, she's right. We need to look at the bigger picture" Murphy said getting down off the bonnet.
"Shut up" Nearly everyone shouted at the same time and Murphy just pulled a face like he was appalled that he was shouted at.
"Do you know where they've taken them?" Garnett asked Cassandra .Cassandra hesitated and looking at Warren and the face she was giving her she knew she wasn't getting away with not telling them. So she nodded her head reluctantly.
Ellie's Pov
Sitting back at the table, both tied to the chair again. Ellie could see Addy crying at the struggling body on the table that they saw early. While Tobias was talking Ellie tried reaching the knife in her waistband without being noticed. It was a bit of a strench but luckily enough they hadnt tied her feet so she was able to lift up her hips so she could reach better. The table also blockes their veiw, soon she was able to pull the knife out and she started cutting at the ropes.
"I know you think we're monster's." Tobias said "Inhuman, we all did too at first" He said as he was cutting flesh from the struggling man's leg. "But hunger has a way of changing one's mind, Morality is stripped away. And all that remains is survival. I know, this takes some getting used too. Perhaps this will help make it more palatable" Tobias said as he lifted a taser to the man's neck and used it until he lost consciousness.
"Just stop ok" Ellie shouted unable to bear Addy's crying and the man's suffering. "We don't want to be part of your family and your not turning us into cannibals" she finished tears dripping down her cheeks, as she continued cutting the rope.
"Please little flower" He said to Addy "Firefly" he said gesturing to Ellie "You must be starving" He held out a piece of flesh he just cut of the leg towards them. "Just a bite, to keep your strength. I made it special for you". Ellie could see Addy trying to back away in her chair and Ellie was struggling not to gag.
"Now you've upset mama" He said looking towards the woman who was sat in-between them. "I know this is a big adjustment. But in times like these, it's eat or be eaten. So please . Mama likes you. Make her happy" Tobias said getting angry staring intently at the girls.
An Asian man in a blue shirt interrupted them walking into the tent. "Fresh meat" He said to Tobias
Nodding "You two, get this meat back in the kitchen" he said to Moonshade and Stormy. "Then get into position" he said turning back to the man. Ellie could see the men in the room quickly pick up their weapons before leaving the tent, the girls following. But Tobias stayed, picking up the knife he walked to Addy holding the knife up to her. Making Addy start whimpering in fear.
"Just leave her alone" Ellie shouted, "She's already scared, just let Addy go and I'll stay just leave Addy the hell alone" Ellie said angrily glaring at Tobias, willing him to come over as she had successfully managed to cut the rope away and with Tobias on his own it was the perfect opportunity to strike.
Tobias looked towards Ellie a small smirk on his face before walking away from Addy who let out a sigh of relief and towards Ellie. Tobias waved the knife mockingly in front of Ellie's face before leaning down his face close to hers before saying. "I might just take you up on that offer" which made Ellie gulp in fear before she lashed out with the knife and caught Tobias in the face making his gasp and back away in shock.
"That wasn't very nice Firefly" Tobias growled at Ellie who had stood up from her seat. Holding up his hand to his face he could feel it was wet with blood. Looking back at Ellie who could see her glaring at him with her knife held out in front of her.
"You are going to let us go" Ellie said her voice shaking slightly
"Not gonna happen Firefly" Tobias said smirking before he charged at her with his knife, both of them striked at the same time resulting in the knifes colliding, blocking each other. Ellie kneed Tobias in the groin making him groan and drop to his knees and Ellie knocked him in the face with the handle of her knife making him fall sideways once he was down Ellie quickly ran to Addy and started to cut the rope away.
"Ellie look out" Addy suddenly shouted making Ellie turn around but she was too late. Tobias was behind her and he quickly pressed the taser to her side and activated it making Ellie gasp out in pain as fire spread though her body and she fell into the waiting arms of Tobias her knife dropping to the ground.
"You're lucky I like you Firefly" Tobias said as he dragged her back to the chair and dropped her in none to gently and tied her wrists back down, while she was dazed. "But your friend here cries too much, she's no use to me" He said to Addy as he walked to her and Addy started struggling thinking he was going to kill her. But Tobias simply cut the ropes and pulled her against his chest and put his knife to her throat. "Let's go see you friends" He said forcing her out.
Garnett's Pov
Walking towards the gate Garnett could see snarling zombies attached to it. Seeing men walk towards him armed he raised his hands before stopping a few feet from the gate.
"Afternoon friend, If it's female companionship you're looking for, you've come to the right place".
"Actually I'm looking for my friends. Red head, Goes by the name of Addy and a blonde, hint of a Welsh accent goes by the name of Ellie".
"Addy? Ellie? Don't know anybody who goes by those names" The man said "Sure would remember having any of them'. "Oh hey, how about the lovely Moonshade or stormy?" He said gesturing to the two girls smiling. "We got a two for one special today"
"Listen scum bags" Garnett said "I know you have them, you send them out here in the next ten seconds or a lot of bad shit is gonna start happening".
"Ooh tough guy" The man chuckled along with the others. But Garnett just clicked his fingers and a gunshot sounded out hitting the guy behind him in the head killing him.
'That was a head shot' Garnett said as the man lifted his gun. "We showed your friend some mercy. I'm not gonna do the same thing for you. Next shot is going through your heart. So unless you want to be prematurely zombified, you get my friends out here. Now" Garnett said seriously
"Not if I blow you away first" the man said scared
"You're not gonna do that" Garnett said "You're gonna get me Ellie and Addy. And if you're quick about it, you can still eat your friend"
"That won't be necessary" Tobias announced stepping forward with Addy in his arms knife at her throat.
"GARNETT!" Addy shouted struggling slightly fear evident in her voice
"Apparently you've been talking to my little sunshine". Tobias said
"Garnett, get us out of here. Addy said these people are INSANE" she said before gasping when Tobias roughly pulled her closer to him knife going closer to her neck
"Say that again and I will eat your heart" Tobias threatened "Apparently we both have something the other wants." Tobias said looking back at Garnett "Perhaps we can make a deal. Give me back my Sunshine and you can have your precious Addy".
"Nah, I'm not gonna negotiate with a cannibal" Garnett said shaking his head. "You're gonna give me Addy and Ellie. We're gonna walk away. And you can eat anybody you want".
"You know the first rule of negotiation is the person who wants it least wins" Tobias threatened
"If you harm either of them, we'll kill everyone of you". Garnett said lifting up his hand to signal 10k
"Kill away" Tobias said "Frankly I've had about all the zombie apocalypse I can take. But of course, you and the girl will be the first to die… that's what I thought" he said when Garnett put his hand down. "Do you know the second rule of negotiation?" He asked Garnett
"What" Garnett said shaking his head
Tobias whistled before saying "The guy with the 50 calibre machine gun wins". As Tobias finished speaking a man on a machine gun stared firing in there direction but not hitting anything and Garnett knew it was a warning shot. "You gonna give me back my Sunshine? Or do we continue this conversation in hell?"
"STOP" a voice said from behind Garnett, who turned and saw Cassandra running towards him. "Let them go Tobias".
"What are you doing?" Garnett asked her
"What I should of done in the first place" Cassandra said turning to look at him before looking back at Tobias and stepping closer to the gate. "Let them go, and I'll come back"
"Don't do it" Addy said "Kill them. Kill them ALL" she shouted as one of the family unlocked the gate
As Cassandra walked in Tobias let Addy go so she was able to walk too Cassandra "No" she said tearfully
"It's okay. It's okay" Cassandra said trying to reassure her. She put a hand on her check before holding on to her arms and turning her so Addy was outside the gate and Garnett was able to grab her.
"What about Ellie?" Garnett asked
"I'm afraid I have taken a likely to that little spitfire" Tobias said smiling "So you can have her, but Firefly" he said referring to Ellie "She's part of our family now"
"That wasn't part of the deal" Garnett shouted going for the gate, but the gate was promptly shut in his face and locked. "You have what you wanted, now let Ellie go" Garnett pleaded, Ellie was like a daughter to him and he wasn't going to loose her.
"I'm sorry" Tobias said mockingly "I never agreed to let them both go, she's ours now. Now take your friend and go before you make me angry and make me have to kill you" He said gesturing to the guy on the machine gun.
Garnett didn't move at first he just stared at Tobias sending a deadly glare is way before saying to Addy in a quiet voice "lets go" and dragging Addy away form the gate and to the rest of the group.
When they got back to the group Addy ran straight into the waiting arms of Mack 'It's okay, It's ok baby. Mack said holding her tight as she cried It's ok. Come on. Lets go' she said to her pulling away from her and grabbing her hand before running in the other direction the other's following.
"Hey, we about given up on you" Doc said as Addy, Mack, Garnett and Warren got back to the truck.
"I actually gave up on you about an hour ago" Murphy said. Addy let out a small chuckle before saying
"Never thought I'd be happy happy to see your sad ass again" and Murphy smiled "Where' Vernez" he said noticing the absence of the blonde
"Let's get out of here guys" Mack said to them all ignoring Murphy
"Wait. What?" Addy asked confused as Mack was about to get into the vehicle
"Come on" Mack said to her holding his arm out
"We're not… we're not leaving them there, are we?"
"Addy. She lied to us. It almost got you killed".
"We can't do that" Addy argued with Mack "We can't just leave her there and we especially can't leave Ellie. The only reason Ellie was there is because she tried to stop them from getting me"
"Come in the truck with me" Mack said trying to reason with her "We'll take about this when you're safe".
"And what about Ellie, she's not safe she stuck with cannibals. I am not going. We are meant to be her friends and we're just going to leave her?" Addy said sounding exasperated
"Look she's right" Garnett said making Addy turn to him. "If we can get Cassandra out then fine but my main priority is Ellie. You can take Addy with you if you want Mack but I'm going back".
"She's a freaking cannibal, she got what she deserved" Murphy said joining on the conversation "And Vernez was probably one of the only ones of you that I could tolerate and she will be missed but if you all die going on a suicide mission then were does that leave me?"
"She did what she had to do to survive" Addy said angrily "And you of all people would have done the same. And Ellie has done nothing to deserve this she has saved most of our lives multiply times"
"Come one, Addy and Garnett are right!" Warren said "We cannot leave either of them back there! You men don't know what it's like".
"What is this, a chick thing now?" Murphy said laughing
"Yes" Both Addy and Warren said
"Alright you know I want to help them too" Garnett said "But we're not gonna beat a 50 calibre machine gun. It's gonna tear us to pieces before we get to the fence"
They all stood there in silence trying to think of a plan until Warren suddenly turned to 10k who was sat on the bed of the truck rifle in hand "How good a shot are you?" Warren asked him and 10k just picked up his rifle and aimed at a zombie a few metres down and shot him in the head.
"Pretty good" he said smugly as he put is rifle down "One thousand eighty four, oh yeah and a half"
"Okay. I have an idea"
Ellie's Pov
Once Ellie had got her bearing's back she noticed that Addy was gone and Cassandra was back and when she saw Ellie was staring at her she tried to give her a reassuring smile before going back to feeding the catatonic woman with Tobias watching at the end of the table. Ellie was terrified but she was trying to put on a brave face because for some reason Tobias had taken a liking to her and she knew he wasn't gonna give her up easily. But Ellie was glad that Addy had gotten away and that her family were safe away from these lunatic's. But Ellie also feared for Cassandra safety, Tobias seemed protective of her but Ellie didn't know him that well and what extremes he would go to to get what he wants.
"Mama's so much happier when you're here" Tobias said to Cassandra. He looked like he was going to say more but he was interrupted when the Asian guy and the guy with a pony walked in.
"Got some fresh meat in trailer two, looking for something exotic" The Asian guy said looking at Cassandra and Ellie could see the fear on her face.
"You're on sunshine" Tobias said standing up but instead of going towards her he went towards Ellie.
"Firefly can continue with mama" he said looking over at Ellie. "Are you gonna behave?'" Tobias asked her when he saw Cassandra had left them.
"I'm not a child" Ellie said irritably "And I'm not suicidal, I like living. I'm not gonna cause any more trouble".
"I'm not gonna kill you sweet child, but actions have consequences and bad actions need punishment, which you already know" he threatened. But seeming to buy what Ellie said he untied the ropes which attached her to the chair and stepped back allowing Ellie to stand up and walk over to where mama was sat rubbing her sore wrists as she got there. Sitting down Ellie gave Mama a small smile before picking up the spoon with some food on and lifted it up to her lips and put it into Mamas mouth when she opened it.
"She likes you" Tobias said smiling fondly at them "She usually doesn't let anyone but me and sunshine feed her".
"Where is Cassandra?" Ellie asked trying to change the subject
"Sunshine is doing her job and keeping our customers happy"
"So your basically a leader of hookers" Ellie spat glaring at Tobias "So your cannibals and_"
But Tobias interrupted her by slamming his hand on the table making Ellie jump "You are not hookers" Tobias said angrily "Now I'm gonna let that past as it's your first day here and I think you've been through enough but I think you need some time to cool off. Moonshade!" As he shouted the woman with the low cut top came through the tent. "Take mama to her room while I show Firefly where she's staying" Tobias said grabbing Ellie's arm and pulling her out of her seat before dragging her out of the tent and towards the caravans and towards the guys who kidnapped her.
"I can walk you know" Ellie grumbled fed up of being dragged around like a rag doll. But she was ignored and dragged to a stop outside a caravan and Ellie could see it rocking and she could also hear Cassandra making some very intimate noises along with a guys voice. "Gross" Ellie said scrunching up her nose. But then Ellie could also hear something else in the background and it was getting closer.
"What fool is playing music?" Tobias asked "Bernt, see if you can tell where that music is coming from" Tobias said to the Asian guy as he ran around the corner towards them. "Merchant, get on the 50 calibre just in case". Tobias seemed like he was gonna say something else but was interrupted when the man who's voice started sounding familiar started shouting and not from pleasure, it sounded like he was in pain.
"You might want to to do something about that" Ellie said leaning against the caravan. She wasn't sure but she recognized that shout and if she was right she wasn't going to blow their cover.
"Go" Tobias said to the guy with a pony tail who ran to the door and pulled it open before rushing in Tobias following close behind but not before sending a stern glare Ellie's way telling her to stay put.
Once they got into a caravan Ellie heard a couple of gunshots but then she heard a struggle. Rushing to the Caravan door Ellie pulled it open and she saw Tobias on top of Doc both struggling but then she saw movement in the corner of her eye and then suddenly Cassandra had jumped on top of Tobias back and held a taser to his neck and she didn't let up until he fell down.
"Sunshine" Tobias said breathlessly when he saw who had tasered him
"My name's Cassandra" she said to him angrily and put the taser in his mouth and activated it until his body went still.
"Are you ok?" Ellie asked both of them and they both nodded.
"You're a sight for sore eyes" Doc said happily to her before wrapping her into a hug.
"You too Doc" Ellie said melting into the hug. After the day she had the hug was much appreciated.
"So what's the plan?, I assume the music is you?" she asked as Doc pulled away
"Haven't got time to explain, let's go" Doc said pushing her gently to the door. Once they were all out of the caravan they went to the back of it to hide, and they could still here that music playing.
"Ill be back now" Ellie said suddenly and before they could stop her she ran back towards the dining area they were in before. Once she reached there she immediately went to the corner of the room where she saw hers and Addys weapons and she also found a duffel bag which she shoved the weapons in and then made her way back to Doc and Cassandra. On her way back she heard Tobias shout Sunshine and that's when she could also hear a vehicle approaching.
She looked up to the gate to see their truck coming towards the gate when it crashed into it sending it to the floor and closely behind it was a horde of zombies. Ellie could also hear the machine gun firing taking out some of the zombies.
"It's now or never" Doc said to them once Ellie had approached them and they all legged it to the truck and all three of them climbed into the bed of the truck before Doc banged of the side of the truck to let Warren know they were ready and the truck sped off out of their camp leaving Tobias and the rest of them to the horde.
Once they had picked up the rest of the group they starting driving out of Philadelphia and to a new destination. As they passed the zombies roaming the streets, 10k shot his rifle at the liberty bell "My kinda town" he said smiling
"If anybody asks, we were nowhere near that bell" Garnett said sounding exhausted
"I always heard philly was a tough town, but sheesh" Doc said
"Zombies with attitude" Garnett said
Ellie was sat in the back of the truck with Cassandra in-between her and Addy with Mack at the end. They had all squished in the back after what they had been through they wanted to be together and Mack didn't want to let Addy out of his sight. Warren was driving, Murphy was in the middle and Garnett was in the passenger seat. As they were driving they could hear citizen Z over the radio and Ellie really wanted to meet this guy especially as Addy told her he helped them with their rescue.
"Hope my peeps down in the Philly area can hear this, thought I'd spin some blues to travel by." They heard Citizen Z say as the blues music started to play. "And if anybody else out there within the sound of my voice. I hope some slide guitar gets you through another messed up day of death and destruction"
Hearing Cassandra sniffle Ellie looked towards her and saw she was crying, so she placed her hand on her shoulder to comfort her and when Cassandra looked at her she smiled softly which Cassandra returned and then laid her head on Addy's shoulder. Addy responded by turning her head to rest it gently on Cassandra's and brought a hand up to the side of her face pulling her into a side hug. Ellie could see that Addy was also crying and Ellie couldn't help the tear's that came to her eyes. Moving closer to Cassandra, Ellie rested her head on her shoulder and took Addy's other hand giving it a gentle squeeze. They had been through something traumatic today and they were all relieved to be back safe with there friends.
"Everybody out there, whether you're hiding in a cave or running for your life'. Citizen Z continued. 'Just keep doing what you got to do to stay alive. Because in the end , that's the only way we're gonna win this zombie apocalypse thing. Bash 'em, slash 'em, bust 'em, burn 'em. Whatever it takes. Just stay alive, No questions asked".
