He wasn't ready to move, he needed time for the throbbing in his head to stop, so he stayed there, leaning against the wall as he looked down at the blood that had dripped to his shirt. Then a figure approached on the outside of the bars, and as they took down the hood of their cloak, he was greeted by the smile of Rosemary, and now that blow to the head was making him feel mildly sick as she stood there looking down at him.

“What do you want from me?” he demanded, looking up at her as his bruised head throbbed, “I'm no use to you – if you wanted our supplies, you only had to ask, we would have handed some over before we moved on... Or is it guns? Is that what you want?”

Rosemary stepped closer.

“We have no need for spare weapons. Those who join me give freely to the community...You belong here, Mickey. The weak are the way forward. The cripples and the sick and the young... The old can have their uses too, they will do anything to be defended from the dangers outside, they will give all they have. And I offer protection!”

Mickey took in a slow breath.

“You know where you can shove that offer! And call me cripple as much as you want, I don't give a shit. I got along just fine in the old world and I'm still here in this new one, without your help!”

“Poor Mickey,” she said as she looked down at him, “You've suffered, I can see it in your eyes. But you will learn a new way now, the way we live. I am building a community to start again, we need men like you to make children with our women. So many men were killed in the outbreak, we need new blood....” an icy smile crept across her face once more, “I might allow you to do your duty and then keep you all for myself.”

“Go fuck yourself!” he said sharply, “If you think I could get hard for a crazy individual like you, believe me when I say there's more chance of you finding a mate taking your pick from a zombie horde!”

Her smile vanished as she glared at him.

“Those who defy me, who refuse to join the circle and live as we do, end up in the field, Mickey.”

He stared at her. As the horrible realisation hit him, her eyes shone coldly.

“That's right, the scarecrows... those who refuse to become one with us are killed and put in the field. We also have a few zombies tethered out there too... mixed in with the corpses and those zombies are starving! Your friends will soon find out how hungry they are, I'm having my people cut them loose tonight. I don't doubt they will regroup at the house, thinking of a way to save you, but it will end badly for them. It's a shame about the child. We need children here, we need young minds to educate!”

Mickey turned his face away, coughing as he puked on to the floor.
