Open the Gates
Chapter 28
Ellie
Beth and I, we've been surviving for about 2 months now. We became the best of friends. She told me everything about how she got away with Daryl, how she drank moonshine and burned a house down. I explained how I was left behind, stranded and was on my own for awhile.
We were following the train tracks, to Terminus. We saw the sign and decided to go there. Maybe that is where my dad and aunt went to.
But you never know.
Suddenly, Beth spoke up, "Hey, do you hear that?" she asked in a whisper.
The too familiar sound of moans became loud, too loud.
There is more than one of them.
I whipped my body to face behind me. There were about 15 roamers limping towards us.
"Beth come on, we got to go!" I loudly said.
We both started running further down the tracks. How much further until Terminus? The roamers were getting closer and I was getting very scared. I could see the fear in Beth's eyes as well.
Up ahead, I saw a little opening in the woods. I signaled Beth to go there when we past it.
Finally we made it. We ran into opening.
"You okay?'' I asked.
"I'm okay, now." she stated.
I turned around to see a roamer walking over in to the opening. I took out Carl's pocket knife.
My foot kicked the roamer down on its back. I then bent over and pierced the roamer through its eye.
"Look a trail!" Beth exclaimed, "Maybe it's another route to Terminus."
"I dunno, maybe it is." I said, "Lets find out."
Beth and I jogged down the trail. It was actually quite nice. There was a nice breeze. We were walking for not even 20 minutes when we spotted a large shed. We quietly sneaked up to the door. No one was in side. I opened the door.
"Look, there is a cooler opened with a blanket in it!" Beth said, "Someone with a baby was here!"
"Judith!" I said, "They were here!"
We both ran outside with lots of hope.
