The Evil Inside Us
By Elizthewiz
Chapter 7
I went off by myself into the closest town, near the houses. I don't care if there are a bunch of walkers scattered around, I know how to handle that. All I care about is numbing the pain I'm feeling.
I soon find my destination right in front of me. A bar. I take my gun out, just incase there are walkers inside. There are a few in here but they didn't stand a chance against me once the bullets left my gun and went through their head. I go behind the counter and find all sorts of alcohol left over. I drink one by one, each of them burning down my throat because of how strong it is.
I hear a door open and I just sit still in the chair I'm on.
"Oh look, what's a girl like you doing out here all by yourself?" This woman asks me
"You act like you give a damn for why I'm here," I answer back
"Now now, let's not-"She starts but I interrupt her, with me being in my drunken state
"Listen, I don't really care for what you have to say. I just want to drink my sorrows away in peace. So you either sit down, and drink or you can see your way out through the door,"
She holds his hands up. "Alright,"
I swing another sip of my drink.
"Why are you sitting here getting drunk?" she asks
"Because my best friend died in front of me and I just found a letter she wrote to me," I explain. "Why are you here?" I ask her in return
"I'm all alone, walking from one place to another. I'm just looking around for some kind of home," she shrugs
"What's your name? I question
"Clove," she answers. "As much as I loved my parents, I wish they gave me a better name," Clove laughs to her self, looking down.
"I'm Katniss, and I'm pretty sure I was not made for this whole zombie apocalypse crap,"
"You look like a leader. You probably just can't handle death very well. But you're going to have to get over it, people are going to die. It's just what happens in this world,"
I look back at her. "So, you said you're alone?" I ask her again
Since I did have a bit much of alcoholic drinks, I had Clove help me get to our part of the town.
"You're welcomed to stay here. We have an extra house. Just stay in and we'll come in in the morning to hold a meeting," I inform her
"Thanks. I guess we'll talk more in the morning," She says
I wave her off into the direction the last house is. I watch as she enters and I stumble into my house. I try not to make much noise so I don't alarm anyone.
Johanna and Peeta are downstairs sitting at the dinning room table. I quietly go for the stairs and start heading upstairs.
"Get your ass down here, Brainless," I hear Johanna say
I groan before going back downstairs and sitting in a chair in between Peeta and Johanna.
"Where the hell were you?" She asks
I shrug. "All I know is that I'm probably going to go back soon,"
"You smell like booze, did you find a bar?"
"Maybe,"
"Katniss, do you realize how reckless that was?" Peeta sighs
Sure it was reckless but it was also worth it. I met someone who's probably going to do well for our group, even though I was a little bit drunk. I have a feeling that Clove will be an important asset to our group.
"Does it look like I care?" I ask with a shrug.
"You should! You could've been bitten," Peeta scolds me
"Listen, I have a right to do whatever I want. Who knows what good my little trip could have caused. Now I'm not going to stay here and listen to this, I'm going to bed," I inform them and make my way to the stairs
I wake up early the next morning and slip out of Peeta's grasp. I put on my shoes and make my way over to the first house. I knock loudly on the door so someone can hear me. Gale answers it.
"Why are you knocking on the door early in the morning?" Gale yawns
"Wake everyone up, we have a meeting in 20 minutes. You know where to meet," I tell him.
Gale groans. "It's too early in the morning for this," he states closing the door
I get everybody except for Prim and Rue out of the bed and into the meeting house. I met with Clove earlier to instruct her on when to come in.
Everyone sits at the huge table. They all look tired but not too tired. I'm exhausted and hungover.
"Let's get this meeting over with. Some people want to sleep," Johanna yawns
"Morning everyone, I just called everyone here because I have something I want to show y'all," I say
Clove peeks out and walks into the room. Everyone turns when they hear her footsteps.
"Who the hell is that?" Gale asks
"Everyone, this is Clove. I met her last night and learned that she's all alone. I feel that she's going to be a great member of our group," I nod in her direction
"Hi everyone," she awkwardly waves
Johanna narrows her eyes at her. "If you do anything bad here, you'll have to deal with me," She tells Clove
Clove sighs. "Look I'm not going to be intimidated by anyone. I was alone for a long time and had walkers chasing me. What makes you think I'll be scared of you?"
Hey guys sorry it took a while to update. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I was writing it on my IPhone and it took longer than expected. Last Sunday I went to see Divergent (read the book first) and it was amazing. I strongly recommend you go watch it, they stayed true to the book and it was appealing visually. And Theo James, who plays Four is like really HOT. He was perfect for that part.
Anyway I want to talk about somthing. I always mean to address this but I always forget but I'm doing it now! I know a lot of you want my other stories to be uploaded quickly and I know the feeling. I wait for my favorite author to update their stories and it seems like forever until they do it but I also don't go on their stories and keep asking them to review after a few weeks. A lot of times when I update one of my stories I always have someone going on another one of my stories and asking me to update that story. I hate to keep y'all waiting but it gets a bit annoying when I see only "Update Quicker" instead of a review that shows me like what you thought off that chapter. If I go MIA I mostly tell you guys by writing an authors note to inform you what I'm doing that's causing me not to update a lot. I don't want to sound rude or anything, it's just my thoughts. The more I see that it makes me feel like my writing is like a chore which I feel that writing shouldn't be a chore. It's supposed to be fun and awesome and I want the chapters to be the best they can be. I try to get them out quickly but sometimes stuff prevents me from updating.
Another thing, the reason I haven't updated Love Is The Greatest Gift is because I have a huge case of writers block. I know what I want to write but I don't know how I'm going to write it. So I keep writing a chapter, then deleting it because it looks stupid when I read over it. This process repeats and repeats so just be patient while I figure out how I'm going to write the next chapter.
And on a happier note, me and my friend are going to be pairing up on this book we are writing together. It's not a FanFiction, it's a regular story that we think is going to be like really awesome so we're going to post it on Wattpad when we finish it. I'll talk about it more when we are ready to post it.
Anyway hope you all had a super awesome amazing day, I had a boring day :( Feel free to PM me and make sure to Review telling me how much you enjoy the chapter. See you later :)
