25. Say The Word

Cold. That's what it was like in this sector of the prison. Although we were running I was still cold. Maybe that's from the silent tears that are falling down my face. T was gone and no one could ever bring him back now. Everyone was probably wondering where we were or maybe they thought we were dead. "Do we even know where we're going?" Grace asked and I shook my head. This was new territory to us.

"Listen, both of you, we are getting out of here. I may not know where we are but we will get out of here." Carol said to us and it was hard to believe her.

"I feel like we're running in circles. We don't even have any supplies." I said to her, what were we to drink or to even eat. What if we get sick? All of our supplies that we needed were where needed to be.

"Listen, we'll find resources. Girls, I'm not letting anything happen to you." She said to us and I saw the look that was in Grace's face. She was losing faith and probably hope as well. This was an event that could take our life. Especially in a labyrinth like this.

"But what if T's sacrifice goes to waste." Grace said to her as we started to walk. We needed to get our stamina up. Who knows what could potentially be waiting for us. Of course there would be more prisoners but for now we hadn't come across those masses yet. It's crazy to think that these are the thoughts racing through my mind instead of thinking about homework. Those were the times I missed, the times where I could be a kid and not have to worry about the world's end.

"It won't Grace, we just have to look at the positive on this. Who knows maybe we'll find an empty cell block to reside in. Or even better, maybe we'll find our way into the yard." I said to her trying to give her a positive thought. I saw Carol look at me.

"Listen to your sister, she's right. We'll find somewhere don't worry." Carol said to us and I was happy about that. She knew that I was saying exactly the right things. Giving us all hope.

"I guess so but how will we know that we've found the yard again?" She asked us and I looked at her, we just need to look for the green grass outside and the gated area.

"You'll know when you see it." I said to her. As we made our walk around I decide to drop something small onto the ground. Something that I wouldn't need. A hair tie. This would be a clue as to us still being around. Still being alive. All I needed was for someone to find the clues. Find T, then find us. It's not like we weren't leaving a trail. We'd been killing a few walkers. Surely that would be our breadcrumbs. Hansel and Gretel left trails of breadcrumbs to the gingerbread house. Whilst we were leaving bodies as ours to find our friends again. Although the one person I would really need was dead. He'd died for us. We were letting that chance fade away.

"Do you think we'll have some time to stop. I'm getting tired." Grace said to us both. I was hoping that we could. My feet had been killing me. I think what made it worse was the fact that we didn't know how long we'd been walking for.

"Of course, sweetheart. In here." Carol said before she opened a door. She looked in and it was empty. "Y/n, help me move these." She said to me as we managed to barricade the door. If anything was to try and get in, it would never succeed. We were safe.

"Now, take a nap. Me and Carol won't let anything happen to you." I said to her as I sat down with them. She then rested her head on my shoulder.

"Y/n, you can take a nap as well. I got this." Carol said to me and I nodded at her. Walking around aimlessly was tiring. It was one of those things. Especially since I didn't even know if there was anyone else anymore. It could only be us left, just waiting to find the bodies of the others. That was one thing that I didn't want to think of anymore. I needed to keep my sense of hope as well. I couldn't have mine fading as well. This was something that was slowly crushing me and until there was something or somewhere that felt safe. I'd always be having this kind of thing. It wasn't long until I woke up.

"Are we okay?" I asked, that was my first question. Something that I should never have to even ask.

"We're okay sweetie." Carol said to me as we heard movement and growls from outside. Walkers. All we had to do was wait for them to pass. Without even detecting us being there. If anything, this was the part to when I hated even being here. We were always hiding to survive instead of fighting to survive most days. And that was the point to where we were wrong. We needed to start to fight back, but even harder than we do already.
