Chapter Text
She stirred from her sleep after hearing some weird noises. It’s been sort of like a routine for her. Sometimes she doesn’t even hear anything, she just woke up when she felt weird. She walked to the smaller girl and stared at her for mere seconds.
“Camz,” Lauren called. She slowly rocked the girl. Camila turned her body the opposite way and mumbled few words. Lauren smiled at this and stroked her arm. She called her name once again, louder this time.
“Hey, we have to go now. Wake up.” Camila opened her eyes slowly and rubbed her eyes with her knuckles, yawning. Camila looked up at Lauren and gave her a small tired smile.
“Hey.” Her voice cracked. At hearing her voice, she looked disappointed.
“Throat still hurts?” Lauren asked and Camila nodded.
“Maybe we can find something.” She told the other girl, looking around at the room.
“I miss my voice.” Lauren gave her another small smile. I miss them too she thought but didn't say it out loud. She looked out the window and noticed that the sun is setting up and they really have to go or else they’re going to be in big trouble. She sighed and stood up, fixing her hair.
“Here.” Camila stood up next to her, handing her the jacket that’s been keeping her warm since the first night.
Lauren shook her head. “No, keep it. It’s probably going to be a bit chilly today.” Camila nodded, not bothering to offer Lauren’s jacket back. She needed the jacket anyway. She put it back on, rubbing the sleeves.
Lauren picked up the M16 and handed Camila the small gun. Camila still hesitated holding a gun after all these weeks, she’ll probably never get used to it. She doesn't really want to get used to it, it’s one of the thing that kept her assured that none of this killing thing is normal.
A loud moaned was heard outside the room. Rachel turned her head around to Lauren who already targeted the gun at the door. Camila ran behind her, gun in hand. Her whole body was shaking. Lauren used her other hand to put Camila’s hand on her waist. Lauren had learned that, that action calmed Camila down few weeks ago.
“I’m scared. What if this is it?” Camila whispered after hearing the voice getting closer.
“It’s not. I won’t let anything happen to you. Trust me,” She assured, eyes still on the door. Of course Camila believed her but things have been getting really hard and it’s getting harder and harder every day.
Right at that moment, the door was being slammed for few times. Camila tighten her grip on Lauren’s waist and prayed to God to protect them. She closed her eyes, tears running down her face. The door cracked open and Lauren shot a bullet right at its heart. It fell down, blood all over the place. Lauren took time to make sure nothing followed it. She walked forward and examined the body. She kicked the body few times and it started to move slowly. She shot another bullet right at its head and it stopped moving. She let out a sigh.
Fucking zombies.
