Sixty-Six

The sun was setting over the mountains by the time we got to the bottom. Dirt crunched under our feet, a breeze pushing past the five of us. I was sure we had to be quite the group, all covered in blood and grime. I wasn’t even wearing real clothing yet. I don’t think it mattered at this point, all we focused on was escaping.

Regrouping.

My hand tightened around my sword and for once Zero was quiet in my head. I took that as a blessing and didn’t bother asking for her.

When we reached the Jeep, Lori moved to the driver’s seat and Leon didn’t argue. I don’t think any of us were in the mood. I slid into the back, with Lisa on one side of me and Sebastian on the other.

Lori broke the silence. “Where are we off to?”

​I leaned back, my eyes closing as exhaustion fell over me. That entire fail of an ordeal had me so tired.

I was tired of failing. I was tired of putting those I cared about in danger and I was tired of being hurt. Physically and mentally. Beside me, Sebastian’s arm went around my shoulders and he pulled me into his chest. I didn’t argue, his chest was a comfortable pillow, and I was much too tired to bite back.

​Leon sighed, “To the Town of Roses first.”

​“Why not the Cove?” Lisa argued.

​“Because I want to go to the Town of Roses.”

​“Well, you don’t get to decide!”

She isn’t an illicit, she has the virus and in there it was stronger than ever not to mention we don’t know what Maxwell did to her. We don’t know how that affected her body. She needs rest.”

​I felt like I was stuck in a dark cloud of exhaustion. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t speak and yet I could hear everything. Granted, it sounded far away, so far away and yet I could hear every word. I wanted to tell them not to worry about me, I didn’t want them wasting their time on me…

…but I could do nothing but listen.

​“Do you think she’ll be ok?” Lisa whispered.

​Leon snickered. “You’re acting like she’ll turn into a zom in any moment.”

​“And you aren’t?” Lisa snapped back, “She’s my best friend, but we have to be realistic. There’s no denying the virus mutated inside her, but we all saw how she looked. How she acted. Just like another zom, only one with a conscious. But that wasn’t Mira’s conscious. That was hunger…What if next time Mira doesn’t come back to us?”

​More silence.

​I could feel myself losing to the darkness now as I realized Lisa was right. I had to be more careful. I wasn’t immortal, and I wasn’t special. Zero wanted us to survive but she didn’t care in what state.

She didn’t care for Mira.

She cared for survival and
