06 |Fractured Memories|
"Can we just get somewhere safe?" Nadwe asks kicking a small rock into the river. On the way out of the neighborhood they had stumbled across a small creek which then led them to a river. Such a shame they can't jump in. They would have if not for the walkers all around the area. Some of the brainless things even fell in.
"What do you think we're trying to do Nad?" Meme asks while keeping his head down look at the ground making sure he doesn't step on any dead branches. "OW!" The gang turns to see Oompa had his shirt caught in some thorns. He slowly looks over at the gang who all had disappointed faces. He shrugs his shoulders and looks at them with a sheepish smile before pulling his sleeve away from the thorn bush.
They all hear some rustling and turn to look at a semi- large bush. Before anyone could make another move, a girl hopped out of it. They all looked shocked.
"Ally?!"
~
They all were soon sitting in a fairly large treehouse Ally had apparently made with Wiktoria. She isn't back yet since she went out to get food but Ally said she would be back soon. Ally looks around and notices that somebody isn't with them. "Hey?. Uhhh where's the crab man?"
"..." The gang looks over at each other and then at Ally, some with a few angered expressions towards the others but some with a guilty- sad expression. "Oh.." She says and looks down at her lap. "Oof is also gone." Dino mumbles and takes a random stick poking it at the wood boards. "It's disappointing that I too have witnessed some friends die. You guys remember BakBak and Shotgun right?"
<...>
"OI SHOTGUN GET OUT OF THE DAMN HOUSE!" BakBak shouts as he stands next to Ally. The house was on fire and burning down rather quickly with Shotgun still inside. A scream and a growl was heard before a window shattered. Shotgun's body was thrown out the window and there he was. Most of his body was burnt and had missing flesh in some areas. The impact from the fall had his blood splattered on the ground. BakBak quickly rushed over to look him over and try to help him. Before Ally could say anything a large wooden post started falling to the ground. Nobody could move in time. And at that moment, BakBak and Shotgun were crushed by the burning post.
>...<
"That's brutal." Blaza says looking up at her from his shivering state. It was a little freezing. "You would know." She chuckles sadly looking away from the gang. They were both like a father and a brother to her. She enjoyed their company. That one time where they all made fun of Syce for liking anime. She liked anime too but would never admit that. Neither would Syce, yet they found out.
"Sad thing is we can't plan funerals." Everybody turned to see Wiktoria with a duffel bag over her shoulder. "Wiki!" Meme shouts and runs over to her giving her a tight hug. She hugs him back and lightly chuckles. "Hello my love." She says and they release each other from the hug. "Huh, didn't know you two were together." Ally said shrugging and grabbed a strawberry lollipop from in her pocket.
"We would have been married two months ago but this mother fucker had broken my wrist." Meme said exposing Socks. "You took my favorite rainbow socks!" He speaks in defense. Wiktoria looked astonished that Socks would break somebody over a set of clothing. She had been into a fashion design business but she wouldn't fuss over clothes.
"Funny thing is that Socks knew about the wedding too." Oompa says chuckling while munching on a bag of teddy grahams. "As if you can talk. You didn't even remember after we told you." Socks grins at Oompa. "Told me what?" He responds which just proves Socks's point. Socks throws his hands in the air in victory.
"Anyways, How are you all doing? You know about this whole thing and your mental health." Wiktoria asks sitting down next to Meme who scooted over so she could sit. "Mentally not ok. Psychically..." Laff looks around, "Alright for now. Minus the small cuts from thorns and such."
Ally laughs when Laff points to Oompa who still had a few thorns lodged in his shirt sleeve. TBVG, who was sitting next to Oompa, started plucking them out of his shirt and throwing them out the square space with no wood that was supposed to resemble a window. Ally and Wiktoria thought of everything.
"I wonder how the others are doing. All I know is that BruhMoment suffered as well." Wiktoria says looking at a bag on the floor. "What happened to him?" Socks asks crossing his legs. "Well as you can see first of all he was with me and Ally before he died. His death was the most peaceful one we've witnessed."
<...>
"I don't know what to fucking do." BruhMoment says with his head in his hands. Ally had just told him the news of BakBak and Shotgun. Shotgun was too young to be in something like this. BakBak was a skilled man who was very tough but was taken out trying to protect the young one he thought of as a brother. BruhMoment was glad to have been friends with them and so were the girls. "We should head back while we figure things out." Wiktoria suggests taking BruhMoment's hands away from his face and holding them in her own. He looks at her and smiles lightly, grabbing his backpack filled with old photos of all his friends. He packed them because he knew he didn't want to live in this world. He was going to leave the photos for the girls. He didn't want anything. They all got back to the treehouse after sometime. It was nighttime when they got there so they were lucky they got there when they did. BruhMoment set down the bag in the corner of the room and climbed into a small area that contained weapons. He wasn't planning on staying for long. He didn't want his death to be slow. A shot rang through the treehouse and Wiktoria instantly shot up from her sleeping bag. Ally was still asleep somehow. But Wiktoria wasn't going to just ignore that. She walked in the main room and saw BruhMoment lying lifelessly on the ground with a small gun in his right hand, his grip slightly disappearing, releasing the weapon. Blood was pooling from the side of his head where he shot himself. Wiktoria froze. She would've screamed if the zombies weren't around. All she could do was wake Ally up and from there they would dispose the body away from the house to the zombies so the smell of blood didn't attract a horde.
>...<
"I really wish I could've talked him out of it. But me and Ally were already asleep and didn't think he would do that. That was the last thought we could've had in our minds. We don't know if it was because he lost some close people or he just didn't want to be in this hell when he could be in heaven."
