Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! I'll try and update more... sorry about this being REALLY late. I'm really bad about that :/ Anyways, this chapter is pretty sad – so skip if you're not up for it! Thanks :)

PHEOBE'S POV:

I tried to figure a way out of the situation. I was literally stuck inbewtween a fight. Should I follow Cleo inside – or would that make Rikki angry at me? I wasn't really sure what to do. Luckily Cleo saved me, before I had to make a quick decision.

"Phoebe – you stay here, OK? We'll be out in a minute."

I nodded my head, trying not to be any trouble. I'd always been a little shy – and being around a bunch of strangers fighting wasn't really hepling. I wanted to become a more important member of the group, try and do things that made me helpful instead of someone else to take care of. I decided I'd figure that one out later. I just couldn't stand being useless.

"C'mon Rikki. We need to go inside and help. I know you want to find your dad, but this fight is getting stupid," Zane told Rikki. I was actually surprised. Zane seemed more helpful then his usual self. Maybe he wasn't so bad. I felt a little guilty for assuming he was that way – I'd just always thought of him like that. Rikki sighed, and replied,

"I guess you're right. I know we need the water, but we're doing it quickly."

"That could be arranged," Zane replied.

Rikki and him walked over to Cleo and Lewis, Zane striking up the conversation.

"Ok, we've all agreed that we need to get the water. But how? How do we know the place isn't full of walkers?"

"Good question," Lewis replied. "I looked in through a couple of the windows, and the place seems empty. We should be able to take a few if they come our way."

"Sounds good to me," Cleo nodded. "Rikki and I can look for any more supplies, and you guys can get the water?"

"Yep," Zane replied.

The four of them walked into the building, and I waited for them to return outside.

Rikki's POV:

Cleo and I walked into the building, and headed down the "grocery" isle. The only thing on the selves were things that could expire quickly – which epxplains why they were left there. I scanned the isles for anything useful. All I saw was greek yogurt and eggs. The eggs had an... eggy smell to them. Cleo called out from behind me, holding up an item.

"I found a box of fruit snacks!"

"Great!" I replied, happy that we'd found something . Somehow that reminded me of the old world. Before I would've turned away Scooby Doo Mixed Berry Fruit Snacks in a heartbeat – much less slapped anyone who would've offered them. I guess it showed me how the world had changed. I thought I was unlucky before! I would do anything to have the luxury of choosing what I wanted to eat again. Or the luxury of coming home to the people I cared about.

We manged to salvage some bandage wrap, hydrogen poroxide, and bread after that. We walked outside of the door, and waited for Zane and Lewis to come out.

CLEO'S POV:

It had been 20 minutes – surley they would've been out by then? After a even longer wait with the sun beating down on us, Zane emerged from the building with a far-away stare.

"Where's Lewis?" I asked, and he looked at me. I knew.

"No," I replied. "This isn't happening..."

"I'm sorry Cle - " He tried to reply.

"H-H- ow did he? I thought it was clear," I choked through my words.

"Walkers came in a crowd... they got him when he wasn't watching," Zane quietly replied, still holding his far-away stare.

I sunk to the hard ground. I sobbed. I cried and wondered what was left for me in this world. They must've let me cry on the ground, scraping my knees on the cemenet for about an hour, when Rikki spoke up. She looked at me all misty – eyed.

"Cleo?" She asked.

I looked up at her.

"We should go now." She helped me up, and I mindlessly walked along drowning in my own sorrow.

ZANE'S POV:

Sure I felt bad for the guy. But it had to be done.

Ooooooooh – clifhanger! Leave a review! I love reading them :D
