Forgotten

Prologue

I sit with Oscar watching the sun rise from the hill we were on, it was the only place that you could over the wall, except from the skyscraper in the middle of the compound but no one goes up there except for the jumpers. The people who can't take it anymore so the climb up the dangerous building and jump from the top. Oscars mom joined those people today, I found Oscar up here after he pushed through the crowed of people and saw his mother limp and lifeless on the ground he bolted and it didn't take me long to figure out he'd be up here. We've been here all day and night and no one has said anything until Oscar breaks the silence "we could leave you know" he says not taking his eyes off the slowly rising sun "what do you mean" I ask "we could leave and get out of here, like we've always said we would.We both know how to hunt how to defend ourselves, we don't have nay family to worry about" he says trailing off at the end. He looks down and bites his lip before turning to me "i've seen them raven, the outsiders. There are people out there i know it. We have to take this chance raven I cant be stuck here any longer" I look down at my hand and trace my thumb over the large scar on my palm, it's to unbearable to think about the reasons it's there, i close my hand into a fist and look up at Oscar. "Whats our plan then" 

We have it sorted Oscar got a job on the wall doing the night patrol for the left sector, the one i live in and we have our plan. I had to wait until midnight that's when all the other guards would be gone and it would just be Oscar, I would then leave my house with my small bag of belongings and my bow and arrow. We would get over the fence and be far away by morning . As soon as my clock hit 12:00 i got out of bed and left but as soon as i got outside everyone was out there, people running and guards were heading towards the fence. Oscar.  He was the only thing that i was thinking about, I ran towards the fence and saw a few people crowded around and someone leaning over the fence "Oscar!" I shout ditching my stuff and running up the ladder to get to the top of the wall. That's when i saw it Oscar was hanging over the outside of the wall, one of the guards was holing his hand trying to pull him back up, but there was a whole heard of infected inches away from his legs trying to pull at his feet. I know how strong they are Oscar wasn't going to live "Oscar!" I shout again and he looks in my direction and i lean down trying to grab his other hand but her loses his grip on the guards hand and he falls "Oscar! no!" I shout and I try to jump over the wall but some one grabs be by my waist and carries me away "NO, OSCAR NO I NEED TO GET TO HIM" I scream at the person "You can't raven" I hear Trevor say "TREVOR PUT ME DOWN! PLEASE!" "you can't help him!" he says and he carries me away from the crowd of people. I keep looking at the wall the best i can through my teary  eyes, the only person i love gone. 

Trevor finally puts me down when we are back in the house "why wouldn't you let me go!" I say breaking down into tears "Oscar wouldn't want to be one of the infected, I need to go out and find him" I shout at Trevor "and do what?" he asks "Shoot him! Oscar is gone now but i'm not letting my best friend be one of those things, he wouldn't want that" I say and i stand up and grab my gun that's sitting on the table "I'm not letting you go out there" he says "you can't stop me" I say trying to push pass him but he just picks me up again and carries me to my room and says "yes i can" before shutting the door and locking it. I get up and run to the door banging out it "FUCK YOU, YOU BASTARD!" i shout at him before sinking down to the floor and sobbing. 

The next day I go out with my gun, I manage to sneak out and get over the wall at midnight. I walk for a bit into the forest and then i see a herd of infected and i find a safe hiding spot. I whistle to get there attention, then move to a different spot. I  eventually see an infected that looks like Oscar, same clothes same hair colour. It must be him, i feel slightly sick looking at him this way so i pull my arrow out and aim it in my bow, aiming for his head i pull back the string and sit there. Just shoot him, get it over with!  I don't understand why i cant shoot him. All of a sudden i break down into quiet sobs. I have to stay in my hiding spot for a while to calm myself down before distracting the herd by throwing a rock in the opposite direction to where i'm going and i then get up and leave. Leaving Oscar, my best friend and the only person left i love to be one of those creatures.
