The Survivors

Chapter Two:

"It's mom" I say. My voice cracking a little.

Casey looks pale. She is in so much shock she doesn't even cry.

She walks outside and leaves me with the pups.

FLASHBACK
Mom was a good person while on the other hand dad was an abusive father. She used to, when my dad got drunk, let him beat in her instead of us. As we were in our room we heard screaming, kicking, and things being thrown around. But one night he took things too far. He was really drunk that night. He came home around midnight from a club. He was fuming. Apparently one of his mates told him that mom was cheating on him with his own brother. Obviously he was lying because mom would never do such a thing. She wouldn't put us in that much danger. He took her by the hair of the head and started punching her as hard as he could. That night she had a broken rib, a broken nose, two teeth missing, swollen eyes, and a broken finger. She was taken to the hospital by me whenever dad went to sleep and we told the doctors everything. While dad was sleeping that night the police came in. Dad pulled out his gun and fired at the police so the police fired back. That was the day my father died. And to be honest the happiest day of my life.

Casey came back in an hour later with her eyes puffy. She had mothers angel necklace on. Father gave it to her on their honeymoon when he was still sane.

I have to be tough for Casey so I'm trying to keep it in until later.

"What do you think we should name the pups?" I ask to try to get her mind off of things.

"We should name the mom, Izzy." She says still sniffling a little bit.

Izzabella was our mothers name but every one called her Izzy..

Every time I think about mother I tear up. This time I just have to let it go.

I stick my gun in my pocket and my two knives in my boot and walk out of the shelter.

I start dragging the zombies of so they wouldn't stink up the place and sit next to mom.

I stare into her now decaying eyes.

She was full of maggots. She didn't even look the same.

I started to tear up. I can't believe the world has come to this. Watching your mom being eaten away by maggots. It just made me sick.

I decided mother needed a proper burial.

I walk inside. Casey was there and she was lying down.

"C I'm going to go pick flowers for mom do you want to come with?" I quietly ask her not sure if she was awake or not.

She managed to let out a quiet "Yes"

"Then let's go sleepyhead" I chuckle trying to lighten up the mood. She just gets up and walks out of the shelter.

She was closer to mom than I was. Since she was the youngest and all she needed more protection from dad. She feels more pain than I. I can tell.

I walk out behind her grabbing her knives.

When I got out there she was already disappearing into the woods.

I jog toward the woods. I don't see her anywhere.

I'm a terrible sister.... Casey is in the woods. A 10 year old. During the apocalypse with no weapons.

The only place I could think to look was our "Secret Place". It is an old beaten down tree house we found when we moved into the storm shelter. It has a nice toys in their for Casey to play with and there is some books for her to read. I usually take her out there once a day but lately there has been too many walkers. And I'm not taking the risk of loosing the last of my family.

As I run toward our "Secret Place" ,with it barely in sight, a heard of walkers come rushing toward me.

They reek of fresh blood and are just disturbing to look at. Not that I haven't seen thousands before. It's just that after mother died every thing is different.

I kill them all off in a hurry. Not wanting anything to be happening to Casey.

I turn around to start running and there stood another walker.

He was powerful. He knocked the knife out of my hand sending it flying into a nearby bush. I was now on the ground. Blood seeping through the knees of my pants from where I fell onto the ground. I was in so much pain and my arms were getting weak.

I push the walker to the side of me and smash his head into a rock.

My vision starts to blur and all I can see is a blurry object hovering over me. I can't keep my eyes open any longer so I just close them. Sending me into a deep traumatizing sleep.

A/N So in this chapter all hell breaks loose. What do you think is going to happen to Gabrielle. What do you think about her past life? Where is Casey? You can wander these questions in the comments and while your at it you can also leave me a vote. Anyways I finally got this chapter up. I should be getting a lot of writing in because of the bad weather we haven't had school in a couple of days but I know if been slacking 😬. I'll try and make the next chapter more interesting and longer. This was just a chapter to kinda fill in since I haven't updated in a while.
