Breathin // Glenn Rhee

~Alexxa's Point of View~

I could hear loud, classical music playing. I thought it was weird for me to hear classical music playing in my dreams. Why on earth would I be listening to classical music in my dreams in the first place? Wait,  I'm not me dreaming. This is real.

I shot up in bed and see Sasha rolling onto her side, waking up. I climbed out of bed and walked to the window. I could see that the gates are open, a green, small car slowly rolled to the middle of the colony, blasting the music. If we don't get that gate closed and the music off, walkers will get in and fast. Ugh. Out of all music choices, they chose Beethoven?

"What is that?" Sasha asks.

"The gates are open. That music is coming from a car." I say. Sasha and I pull away and I grab the chair, setting it on the table.

"I gotta turn that thing off." I say.

"Dr. Carson told you to take it easy." Sasha stops me.

"I can't let you do this by yourself." I argue.

"Sit." She orders. I sigh and kept the chair still so she wouldn't fall on her way up.

"Go." I tell her. She grabs her knife and climbs up on the table, up on the chair and out the roof of the trailer. I look around and grab my boots, slipping them on and tying the laces. I grab my knife and climb out the trailer myself. I stand on the roof, looking around. A little over a dozen of walkers are in. Sasha is down there, taking them out, alone. I turn my head and see Jesus and Maggie and two others standing on the second level patio of the Barrington House.

"Jesus!" I shout. He looks at me. "Sasha is down there alone! She needs help!" I yell. Jesus jumps down the pillar and Maggie take off running inside. I look at the other two, standing as they watched Sasha, Jesus and Maggie taking out the walkers.

"You two!" I shout. "Get the gates!" I yell. They both nod their heads and run off inside.

"I can get the car." I huff out. I look around, trying to think how I could get to the car and shut the music off. They must need a key to unlock the windows or even doors since they look like there's something blocking the windows from getting broken into.

I carefully jumped down from the roof and ran to the side of the building, back behind the building and reaching the farming area. I jump into the tractor and turn the engine on, using the key that remains in the tractor. I put the tractor in reverse and drove backwards to crush the car. Along the way, walkers came my way and they get crushed by the large tires.

I felt a bump and crushed the car, but the music continued on. I ran over the car two more times before a loud pop explodes and the music finally stops. I turn behind me and saw the gates are closed and there are no more walkers. I huffed out a breath of relief and climbed out of the tractor.

"Here. I got ya." Jesus says and helps me down. Sasha and Maggie approach us.

"I thought I told you to stay put." Sasha says breathlessly. I huff out a smile.

"Since when did I ever listen to anybody?" I ask. Maggie smiles and pats my back.

It's morning. Everyone helps out by burning the dead ones. Jesus figured he'd try again with Gregory into letting us staying here until I'm done. After all, he owes us. While we were out there, busting our asses, he stayed inside, hiding.

Sasha, Maggie and I waited around outside of Gregory's office, waiting for Jesus to finish. The longer we waited, the more impatient Maggie and Sasha got.

"This is taking too long." Sasha says and walks towards the doors.

"Sasha." Maggie calls.

"Gregory." Sasha says, opening the door, followed by Maggie and I.
