the prophecy

into the city

"There might be somewhere safer in the city" Jess adds

"Are you fucking stupid?" Gabe bites

"Are you?"

"Fuck off"

"Enough, we're going, get over it" lucia says.

They walk along the road for twenty minutes until they arrive at the city, its concerningly empty, and it's silent, but there's abandoned cars everywhere, tall buildings and towers.

"What now genius?" Gabe asks, folding his arms as they stop after walking into the city.

"i said enough out of you" lucia warns, pointing at him.

Jess looks up and then walks further.

They all follow and Tommy taps her on the shoulder. "Where are we going exactly?" He asks

"I heard there was an evac centre here, somewhere in the city, its unlikely but maybe it's worth a try?" She says

"You seriously believe that they're gonna save us?" Gabe scoffs

"Gabriel." Lucia warns

"Not at all, but do you have a better idea?" She asks

"Yeah, i do, find a boat, go someplace else, but not the fucking city" gabe says with his hands on his hips.

Jess looks at him before sighing "we can try, first we clear out an office floor or something just temporarily for safety, tommy and lucia can stay there and you and i will go where there's water and find a boat" she says

"What? Now?" Gabe asks

"You said you wanted to find a boat, let's go find a boat" she says

"Pfft, alright fine then"

"It was your idea"

"Yeah i know it was my idea i just didn't think you'd be so eager" he says

"Do i sound eager?" She asks as the two walk up ahead to the office building.

He sighs and pulls out his machete as he walks into the building, it still has blood on it from back at the school and jess stops in her tracks before continuing and following him, pulling her hatchet out.

There was only three walkers on the office floor luckily, after clearing it out tommy and lucia sit down.

"Okay you two be safe, we're gonna go look for this...boat...or something" jess says.

"We should be saying that to you" lucia smirks.

"You don't need to we'll be fine" gabe smiles at her lovingly, gazing into her eyes, which don't have a sparkle like his, she seems confused.

"Boo hoo" jess says as she walks off

"DO YOU EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP" he yells as he follows her out the door.

-

After they arrive at the pier they find a bunch of boats, all seemingly missing a bunch of parts or just burned and sunken.

"Well this is just fucking great" gabe says sarcastically.

"Now what?" He asks, turning to face jess who is leaning on a telephone box.

"Don't ask me it was your idea" she says with her arms folded.

He groans and then turns back around, walking further up the pier. "You're no fucking help" he whines as he walks away.

Jess does a little jump from the top step to the bottom and follows him to make sure he doesn't do something stupid and get himself killed.

"Why have you been acting like such an asshole lately? especially to me" Jess asks.
