Chapter X- Where did I end up
Merle seemed to be a strangely quiet and observant person as we walked through the destroyed streets of Atlanta, his steps were like a cat's, silent and careful, we didn't talk even though my throat was literally itching to talk to another human being.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I looked him over meticulously as we walked out of town, and if he noticed my gaze he didn't show it (much to my relief), not that I was interested in him it's just that my old family circumstances made me be more observant with the surrounding people, this protected me sometimes.
Wiping the sweat from my face I follow Merle through the city, he wants to get a car, so we were heading to the parking lot that the guys in his group took to get away.
My curiosity grew stronger as we approached the parking lot, I needed to clear my doubts and satisfy my curiosity.
— So. I speak in a low tone, not wanting to alert the infected of our presence. — What did you do to get stuck on the roof? I glance momentarily before returning to scan the street.
— I threw from the roof at the walkers in the street, and hit a guy. He shrugs as if it were the most normal thing in the world, which made me look at him dumbfounded. — oh don't look at me like that, sweetie, I wasn't that lucid. He enters the parking lot and goes directly to the key box.
—Like this? Do you mean drinks or drugs? . accompany him, keeping watch at the door.
— You got the last one right. He gives a stupid smile and takes a key and leaves.
I stand there looking at his back as he tries to find the right car.
—Are you going to come or not? He says opening a silver SUV.
— I am going! . I walk up to him and get into the passenger side while he starts the car. — What are the people in your group like?
— It's not my group. He says, playing on the radio. — And I don't care about them at all, they're all idiots who think they're in a summer camp. He snorts and dodges an infected person. —We have a queen bitch and her trained dog, be careful with these two they are a pain in the ass.
— Are they that bad? I ask, looking.
— Oh, cutie, you have no idea, they want to boss everyone around while they fuck like rabbits in the forest.
I blink stupidly, I don't think I'll get used to his language anytime soon.
— You've seen them do that, haven't you? I don't need an answer, his disgusted face speaks for him, because of that I have a laughing fit.
— It's good to see that my unhappiness amuses you. He mumbles making me laugh more.
The rest of the trip to the quarry was peaceful, I ended up falling asleep halfway to the sound of the radio and Merle's murmurs........
Temple breaking
When I woke up, Merle had just parked next to some cars.
— Good morning, sleeping beauty! And there's the stupid smile.
— Good morning prince charming! I say seeing his eyebrows twitch in amusement before he opens the car door.
I follow him outside, observing the people there.
Above the trailer there was an elderly man with a shotgun resting on his lap and binoculars in his hand, the man shouted something to a young blonde who was climbing the stairs to the roof of the trailer, the woman's neck turned so quickly towards us which I thought would break her once calm features were now a mixture of relief and fear, the young girl quickly got down and ran towards a group of people she gestured towards us and the others looked before a tall man with a crooked nose. Walk quickly closer.
I moved my gaze to Merle seeing that he had a frown and arms crossed and tense, he looked at me from the corner of his eye, swallowing hard I returned my gaze to the man who was a few steps away from us.
I hope this isn't the guy who trapped him on the roof.
The man approached until he was a considerable distance away from Merle and me.
— Merle, it's good to have you back, man! The guy spoke with a touch of disdain. — your brother and the others went looking for you.
— It's good to be back! The blonde said with sarcasm dripping from his voice. — Well, at least my little brother cares about me. The two stared at each other.
Great they started measuring dick!
I sigh and remove my eyes, which makes the brunette look at me, narrowing his eyes.
— And who is this?
— That's my lovely savior Harry Potter! Merle says putting his arm over my shoulder.
—Hello!. I say nodding slightly, the other man's eyes pass over me, evaluating me, which makes me very uncomfortable.
So much so that I squeeze myself next to Merle, which makes him slide his arm around my back and tighten it around me.
The brunette snorted and stopped looking, he introduced himself and left after giving us a strange look.
Merle chuckled and pulled me across the camp to two tents a little apart, he had me set up mine next to his and then took me to the quarry pond where some women were doing laundry while a man watched and Shane was in the water with a boy.
I was taking a shower behind some rocks, Merle was smoking a little away when the women started screaming, I looked behind the rock and saw Shane on top of the man in the truck beating him while one woman is held down by the others.
I look away from the fight looking at the blonde who was smoking as if nothing was happening.
