Walk with the Dead

Do You Remember the Knife I Kept?

I shouldn't feel so bitter about the fact that Vic knows more than me about myself at this point yet hasn't had the guts to even come forward and tell me. It's the decent thing to do at this point. But for some reason he's STILL being silent about everything. I kinda miss knowing what the fuck is going on but sadly I don't think my life is destined to go in a straight line. Oh and it does bother me.

The whole ride back to camp was tense, more tense than before. I chose to sit in the back with Ben and that for some fucking reason infuriated Vic. He was speeding, like I know there isn't traffic and other cars on the road but it's still dangerous. He didn't let up on the gas at all. I could deal with it up until we nearly fucking crashed because a walker came out of nowhere. We swerved onto the shoulder and stopped.

Tony looked back at me and Ben with a concerned look on his face. "You guys okay?" He asked.

I looked at Ben and then back at Tony. "Yeah we are fine." I said emphasising the fine. I caught Vic's gaze in the rear view mirror and he looked pissed. This dude has some serious anger problems. "We are just fine."

Vic started the car up again and began driving. When we reached the camp site I got out the car and stormed off into the cabin I was staying in. I dropped my bag onto the floor and sighed loudly.

I walked over to my bed and threw myself onto it and screamed into my pillow, unable to find a way to fucking stop. A knock on the door paused the screaming though so I pushed myself off the bed and composed myself. "Come in."

The door opened and to my shock and surprise Vic stood there. "Can I come in?" I just shrugged and folded my arms across my chest.

"What's up?" I said with the most fake voice ever. He could tell though, by the look on his face he knew I was being fake.

"Okay then, well I wanna know what exactly you found to make you be so weird." He demanded. It was as though he fucking thought he had a right to know everything and anything.

"Funny thing is, what's it to you?" I cocked my head to the side. He raised an eyebrow and then smirked really fucking annoyingly.

"No way, you're really being this immature about something so insignificant." He shook his head.

"If it's so insignificant then why is it an issue to you and why do you wanna know so much?" I pointed out. "I find it extremely weird that within 3 days of knowing me you are so invested in my life and how I live it already. You know know me..." It sounded more like a question rather than a statement.

"What do you know Alice?" He stared me down.

"Why don't we start with what you're hiding from me. I found a lot in my apartment." I said sternly. His eyes looked dead, like he was busted.

"Damien was a bad, bad guy Alice." Vic started. "He did really horrible things to you, to me and to innocent people that didn't deserve it."

"What do you mean?" I scrunched my face up at the comment he had just made.

"We didn't just meet in the hospital, we've known each other for so many years." He walked closer to me and sat down on the bed. I looked down and sat across from him on the bed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"I was scared to. Things didn't end the way they should've when the world turned to shit. I was supposed to be catching my big break as a music producer and you were a model. Things went wrong. You got sick, he claimed it was just normal but it was down to him." Vic looked at his hands with a solemn look on his face. "He used to hurt you Alice." I felt my heart stop.

"I wish I could remember what the fuck happened." I felt the tears begin to well up in my eyes but I fought them off.

"You don't want to remember those night. When you'd turn up at my doorstep crying your eyes out, drunk out of your mind and shaking out of fear that he'd come after you." Vic spat out. "You don't want to remember what he did to you and that's why I never wanted you to find out. That's why I was against you going to your apartment. You don't need to feel that way again."

"But don't I have a right to know my past?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Not with that asshole haunting it." He looked up at me. I couldn't tell why it was so important to get me to forget but he wasn't messing around. It makes sense because I felt nothing when I saw Damien and those pictures on my phone of me and Vic weren't exactly friendly.

"I found my phone." I told him.

"And?"

"I found pictures in it. I found pictures of us." I explained.

"That's kinda risky considering how he treated you when he found out you still talked to me." Vic chuckled. I didn't understand it because I couldn't fucking remember.

"I guess I just didn't give a fuck what he did or said to me." I shrugged.

"You're not wrong there, you didn't care. I guess that's why you didn't really leave him and didn't escape until he made it impossible for you to live. He put you in that hospital and I couldn't just leave you."

"So that's why Mike knew me." I pointed out.

"You were in his year at high school. We met because you were friends with him." I smiled a little, it was nice to know my past. Be it a bad one but at least I knew.

I looked at his face to see any sign of what I was dealing with but nothing came up, no red lights flashing. He looked calm. "Were we close?" I asked.

He stared at his hands and laughing a little. "Is water wet?"

I couldn't help but laugh, it felt as though this exact scene had happened before. Like I knew what was coming. I just didn't wanna feel something stupid and be sad when it didn't work out exactly how I'd planned it. There was a reason that image existed in the first place. Whether it was a mutual thing or a fucking mistake that I over played. "Next time you need to tell me straight away cause I'm not into being lied to."

"I'll keep that in mind." He smiled at me.

I felt a small wave of awkwardness between us but it was cut short by someone screaming outside. We both rushed to our feet and ran for the door. I opened it and exited first to see a fucking hoard of walkers stumbling into the camp. I looked at Vic and he had a panicked look all over his face. "What do we do?" I asked him.

"What we have to do." He mumbled, pulling his knife out of his pocket. I watched as he approached one of them and stabbed it in the head. It fell to the ground lifeless. He moved onto the next.

Ben, Tony and Jaime were near Vic by this point. It was insane to see such normal, gentle people be so violent and determined to stay alive. I seen one go for Jaime but he must not of seen it as it was coming from behind. "Watch out Jaime!" I shouted as I rushed to his side to help. Just as I got to him, Jaime turned and sunk his knife into the walkers skull.

"It's okay kitten, I got this." He winked at me. Now I've not spoken to Jaime all that much but I've never been called kitten by him or anyone ever actually. But it wasn't in a creepy way, it was kinda like a fucking goofy dumbass way.

I turned to see Vic slay 3 walkers in the space of like 20 seconds. It's a weird concept this whole apocalypse shit. I never thought I'd have to deal with it, I guess no one ever does. But the funny thing is I feel like because I don't remember my past that this is my chance to make a new future and maybe this is gonna be one I will remember.

"Alice." I heard Lynn's voice say. I turned to see her standing with a sad look on her face.

"This is how life is nowadays." I frowned at her. She looked behind me and I followed her gaze. They'd gotten every one of the damned things but there was at least one causality.
