A/N: I just remembered that I typed most of this chapter. I didn't realize it until I told myself to check on my other stories to update them. I seriously just finished this one off and now I'm updating. ENJOY! :D
When I woke up I could hear the sound of boots hitting the floor. I knew it was Kendall so I didn't panic or anything. I looked up to see him coming down the steps.
"Kendall, where are you going?" I asked him as he walked into the kitchen.
"I'm heading out. You can stay here if you want." He said as he grabbed two pistols and put them on his sides. He took his shotgun and put it in the holster on his side before he took an automatic rifle and put the strap on his shoulder.
"What's with all the guns?" I asked him.
"I'm going out the front door. Need to be prepared."
"But you didn't even eat."
"I had a light breakfast. Anything else would slow me down."
"Oh."
"Are you coming or not?" He asked me.
"Um, I don't want to stay here but-"
"Okay good, now, there's a gun under the table and I'm guessing you don't want anything heavy so here's a SMG." Kendall told me as he sat the SMG in front of me.
"But what about Hannah?" I asked him.
"I won't be able to carry her and the guns." I added.
He seem to think about for a minutes before he ran upstairs. I heard him search through things as I picked up Hannah. She smiled at me as I made funny faces before I stood up just before Kendall came back down the steps.
"I remembered that I picked up this baby thing. I figured I could use it for guns but I didn't know how to put it on." He told me before he handed it to me.
"Can you hold her?" I asked him.
"WHOA!" He said, taking his gun out and aiming it at us.
"What's wrong with her eyes?" He asked me.
"Nothing!"
"Why are they purple? Is she-"
"No, look just put the gun down!" He lowered the gun slowly.
"Her eyes have been like this since she was born. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her. She was like this before this whole thing even happened. Trust me." I told him.
"Fine but if she tries anything I'll-"
"She won't." I reassured him as I held her out to him.
He put his gun back before he reached out for her. He held her in front of him and I could tell he never held a baby before. I remembered how to put on the baby carrier because I was thinking about getting one when Hannah was first born. I could tell that Kendall didn't know what he was doing with it because all of the straps were tangled.
I looked over at him and he was staring at her as she reached for his hair. He moved his head a little closer to her so she could touch it. I finally got everything untangled and put it on.
"Why don't you put her on your back?" Kendall asked me as he looked at the pouch on my front.
"Because I need to be able to see her." I told him as I took her from him. I put her in the straps before securing them around her. I took her blanket and put it in between us. I grabbed the iPod and put the headphones on her.
"Do you need that all the time?" Kendall asked.
"I don't, unless you want to be attacked by zombies when they hear her crying because she hears something strange." I told him.
"Oh." He said as I grabbed the guns, putting the pistol in the holster on my side and the diaper bag over my shoulder. I held the SMG in my hands as I looked at Kendall.
"Where are you going to put your ammo?" He asked.
"I can put them in the diaper bag." I told him before doing so.
"Ready?" He asked. I looked around for anything I might need. When I didn't see anything I nodded my head and we headed out.
We quietly walked out of the front door and down the steps. I turned and looked at the house. It didn't look abandoned and stuff like the rest of the neighborhood. I turned around and followed Kendall.
We made our way out of the neighborhood and walked on the main road. This looked like the richer parts of L.A. since the houses looked like they cost a lot. He was walking fairly fast and I had no idea where we were going. I'm guessing we're going to the store or something. I'm just going because Hannah doesn't have anymore diapers and stuff.
"Where the hell are all the zombies?" Kendall asked as we walked down the streets of L.A. Kendall had taken out most of them on our way here but he couldn't have gotten them all. As we turned down a business street with high buildings we saw tons of zombies but they were all dead.
"What the hell?" Kendall said, looking at all of the bodies as we walked.
"I don't like this feeling. What if there's like a massive zombie that kills all of the smaller zombies?" I asked him.
"Carlos don't be stupid that'll never happen."
"They said zombies would never happen." I told him.
I put my gun down because I didn't want to look like an idiot walking about with a gun to my face. Mainly because it seemed like Kendall was doing all of the shooting anyway. Kendall climbed on top of a swerved car and brought the stand out of his rifle and laid down on the top of the car.
"Kendall what are you-"
"Shh, I got a good shot." He told me. I walked over and I could see the zombie a few feet away. When the sound of the gun went off the zombie dropped to the ground.
"Nice shot." I told him. He turned around and looked at me with a shocked expression on his face.
"What?" I said, looking around for any zombies before returning my gaze to him.
"What?" I asked him again.
"I missed." He told me.
"Huh?"
"Get down." He told me as he slid off of the car and ducked behind it.
As I ducked down I checked on Hannah to find that she was sleep. I swear that's all she does now. I ran my fingers through her hair but stopped when I noticed she was waking up from it. Kendall peaked up from the car and froze.
"What?" I asked, standing up to come face to face with a person holding a gun to us. They were on the opposite side of the car wearing all black and a ski mask which was stupid because it was kinda warm.
"Hello?" I said to them.
"Carlos what are you doing?" Kendall whispered harshly.
"Haven't you ever ran into another human? You aren't supposed to be friendly! They could kill you!" He said.
"Hello, I'm Carlos." I told them, ignoring Kendall.
He sighed in frustration and rose from the ground but had his gun aimed. The other person aimed their gun at Kendall.
"Can't we just get along, maybe we could be friends or something?" I suggested.
"That's not how it works here." The person said. I recognized that voice from somewhere. I had heard it before. I started to think about everyone that I've met and their voice when it finally hit me.
"Jo?" I asked. Kendall looked at me like I was delusional.
"Carlos?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm Carlos, you know, the one that lives in the same building as your grandmother. She used to watch my baby sometimes when I went to work." I told her to help her remember.
"Carlos! Oh my god!" She said, taking off her mask and coming over to give me a hug. Kendall just looked at us in shock.
"I haven't seen you in so long. I knew a trooper like you wouldn't go out so easily." She said as we pulled away.
"What the hell is going on?" Kendall asked.
"Jo's grandmother used to watch Hannah for me. She tried to hook us up but it didn't work out for obvious reasons. We ended up just being friends." I told him.
"Oh my gosh, look at her, she's so cute. I swear she's gotten cuter since I last saw her." Jo said, looking at Hannah. I heard what sounded like another voice and I looked to see that it was coming from Jo's bluetooth.
"No, they're cool." Jo said.
"Who are you talking to?" I asked her.
"Camille." She told me.
"Who?" Kendall asked.
"Camille." Jo said, pointing to the building at the end of the street. I could see her in the window, really high up.
"Why is she all the way over there?" I asked.
"Sniper." She told me.
"What?" Kendall asked.
"How about we go to the building and talk about it there? I don't want to attract unneccessary attention." Jo said before we walked with her to the building.
"Oh, Carlos, for future reference, don't approach people like that. You'll get yourself killed." She told me.
"I told you." Kendall said.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Because-" Kendall but was cut off by Jo.
"Times have changed. People aren't holding back and want to survive. They won't stop at anything to make sure that they're safe." She told me.
"That's so fucked up." I said.
"You think that's fucked up, ask her what was she going to do to us." Kendall said. Jo glared at him before turning her attention back to the front.
"What were you going to do?" I asked her.
"She was going to-"
"I can explain myself." She said to Kendall.
"Me and Camille own this street. She covers from the building while I am on foot. We also rob anyone who comes on this street and if they refuse Camille takes them out." Jo told me as we approached the building.
"What? That's horrible." I said.
"I know but we need to survive." She said.
"Is that why you're dressed as the girl from resident evil?" Kendall asked.
"Look, you aren't exactly on my good side so you're walking on thin ice." She said to Kendall, stopping and turning to him.
"Guys can we be nice and keep walking." I said to them.
"Thank you." I said when they stopped glaring at each other. We walked in silence for a while before I spoke as we walked into the building.
"So how long have you two been robbing people on the street?" I asked her.
"For about a few weeks now." She said as we walked to the stairwell. We walked up a couple of flights before she pushed open a door. We walked down some hallway that seemed to go further into the building before she opened another door.
"Guys this is Camille." She said as we rounded a corner to see a girl with long slightly curled brunette hair kneeling in a window with a sniper gun extended out of the window.
"Hello." I said to her.
She didn't respond. Instead the gun fired and Jo rushed to the window.
"Nice one." Jo said to the girl.
"Thanks." She said standing up and setting the gun in the corner.
"That's a big gun." Kendall said.
"I know. Now, who are you?" She asked.
"I'm Kendall and that's Carlos." I gave her a small wave.
"Carlos was the friend of mine I was telling you about." Jo said to her.
"The one with the sweet baby with purple eyes?"
"Yup."
"Aww. Can I see her?" Camille asked getting up.
"Sure." I said, looking down to see if she was awake. She was stiring but wasn't really awake. I lifted her from the carrier and held her up to my face after I took off the headphones.
"Hey." I whispered to her. She smiled but didn't open her eyes. I gave her a small kiss on her forehead and I could see that she was slowly waking up.
"You don't have to wake her." Camille said.
"Yeah, I do. She's been sleep since we began walking this morning. If she keeps on sleeping she'll be up all night." I said before smiling as her eyes opened.
I extended her out to Camille, who wiped her hands on her pants before reaching out to hold her.
"This is amazing. I have never seen someone with purple eyes. She's so cute." Camille gushed as she held her.
"Wait..shh." Kendall said to her.
"Do you guys hear that?" Kendall asked. It sounded like groaning followed by uneven foot steps.
"Shit." Jo cursed before opening the closet that was behind her. My eyes widened at the array of guns in the small room. Jo grabbed what looked like one of the biggest guns in there.
"Blondie, come with me." She said to Kendall before they both ran out of the room. Camille handed me back Hannah before looking out the window.
"Fuck, the must've followed you guys here."
I looked out the window to see zombies walking all through the streets.
