9 : An Incident

( Note : * this symbol means talking in their head. Don't forget that! )

" Mother, mother wake up! "

I screamed.

Stella cannot believe the incident.

She's standing there, crying.

" M-mo-mother.... MOTHER!!! "

She cried.

Felix calmed her down and George's guarding the place.

" There's a cabin. Let's go there we need to be safe. "

George suggested.

I carried my mother.

I'm very careful on carrying her because there's a steel inside her. If we remove it, she'll lose blood.

" Just hold on mother. I'll patch you up. "

I whispered to her.

Then we went inside, I looked for some space.

I layed my mother in the blanket and tried to clean her wound.

" That's too deep, she'll not survive. "

Felix told me and patted my back.

I'm not believing him because I don't want that to happen.

" Fuck! Infecteds! "

I heard George and he grabbed his pistol.

Someone's pulling my arm.

It was Stella. She hugged our mother and then went back on pulling me.

" What the hell?! Let go! "

I accidentally screamed at her then she hid behind Felix.

I looked back at Debbie.

I cried because she's already gone.

" F-fuck.....mom?! WAKE UP MOM!! "

I hugged her hoping that she'll live.

" We need to go. We'll be trapped here if we stay forever! "

He told me.

" I love you mother. I'm sorry... "

I whispered it in her ears and grabbed my knife.

" Come! Go in the forest! Let's regroup later! "

Felix ordered it then we all ran into the forest.

I went alone then someone grabbed my foot.

" Fuck! Let go! "

It was a infected.

I tried to reach on my gun but someone grabbed my arms too.

* I'll die if I can't escape this. *

Then I knocked the other one who's grabbing my arms.

* I'm near...I can do this... *

Then I smashed the one in my foot and then ran near the river.

I saw Felix.

" Are you fine? They didn't bit you? "

He asked me.

I waved my head.

" HELP! BROTH- "

I heard Stella screaming.

" Fuck, Stella's in danger! "

I ran back to the forest but I was too late.

She's gone and what she left is her jacket laying in the ground.

" Come on! There's more infecteds showing up! We need to go! "

Felix grabbed my shoulders and pulled me.

We crossed the river and looked for some shelter.

We saw a convenience store.

" This shit's locked. "

Felix tried to open it.

Then he bashed it with his foot.

" There we go. Let's go. "

He told me and then we went inside.

We sat in the chair.

I'm just there, sitting and thinking about what happened.

" I... I couldn't believe this hell.... I lost them all....all of my love ones... all of them... "

I wiped my tears and then we heard some movements behind us.

" Show yourself. We've got guns. "

Felix announced.

" We don't want any trouble y'know? Just show yourself. "

He added.

Then someone stood up behind the counter.

" Are you the grandpa? What about her, your grand daughter? "

Felix asked them.

" No...no.. we're couples. I'm Helen and this is Joey. "

They introduced theirselves.

" What about you guys? "

Joey asked.

" I'm Felix and this is Chris. "

He walked towards us.

" Will you guys let us come with...both of you?

I'm begging you both.. for our protection. "

Joey asked us then Felix decided.

" Alright, but don't be an obstacle to us. We've just lost members. "

Felix explained then Joey hugged him.

" I'm sorry for the news. "

He said then they offered us foods.

Felix accepted it and so do I because we're starving.

" Thank you for the meal. "

Felix said then he started eating.

" What's the matter Chris? Don't starve yourself. You need to survive. "

Helen asked me.

" What? There's no point if your love ones are gone. There's no need to be alive anymore. "

I told her furiously.

Felix calmed me down but he couldn't.

" Shut up! You couldn't understand it because you've got no sister! "

I screamed at his face and went at the chair.

They were all shocked at what I did.

I stared at the window until night.

Then I saw a group wearing black.

They're carrying people, I went outside silently then sneaked behind them.

I watched them for a few minutes.

" What should we do mate? Kill these brats? "

Someone asked.

I pulled my gun and ready to attack.

* This bastards will die tonight. *

Then I aimed at the guy wearing mask.

I checked my ammo then there were only 4 bullets.

* I need to think, 4 bullets and 6 enemies. This is not good. *

Then I saw 2 of them went to pee in the river.

* Should I kill these 4 guards or those 2 who went away? *

I'm thinking on what to do. A strategy to kill them.

* I shouldn't waste bullets at this point. *

Then I went for the 2 who went in the river.

I threw a stone at the other one then he accused the other guy.

* Distraction, done. *

Then I showed up.

" Arms in the air. I'll let you live if you follow my commands. "

I told them.

Then they followed me.

" Now, turn back and lay down slowly. "

I added.

They did what I said then slowly went towards them.

I searched for some items then discovered a radio and a pistol.

" This'll do. You did good, both of you. "

I praised them and then smashed their head with the gun.

I whacked their faces until no one can identify it. Bloods everywhere.

I went back to the other 4 and watched them carefully.

* Now I've got another pistol with 6 rounds. *

Then someone asked the guy.

" Where the fuck are they? They're taking too long. "

I smiled and looked at them.

Threw a rock in their car.

" Who's there?! Don't prank us! Not right now bro. We've got a task to finish. "

Someone said.

Then I aimed at the guy's head.

Pulled the trigger and now he's dead.

* 3 to go. I need to spare someone and deliver a message to his boss. *

" Oh fuck! Razo's dead! Be careful! "

The guy told his comrades.

I went into a different place and hid.

Once again, I aimed at the guy's head and pulled the trigger.

" We're being hunted! They're killing us 1 by one! "

I heard them. They were too scared.

" We shouldn't have done this to our hostages! They're fucking dangerous! "

Someone said.

I showed myself and aimed at the man's head.

I pulled it then I holstered my gun.

" You're not being hunted. This is called avenge. Now, who's your boss. "

I asked him but he won't tell anything.

I grabbed my gun again and pointed at his head.

" Free those hostages. "

I commanded him.

He untied them all and those hostages went behind me.

" Now, lay down. "

He layed in the ground. I went towards him and knocked him off.

* Mission's completed. *

We all went inside the store, dragging the guard.

We tied him up in a chair and covered his face.

" I'm Joel, and the girl's Alix and then the nerd one's Bill. "

They introduced their selves.

" Glad to help you. Mine's Chris. "

They thanked me for what I did. They explained to me the reason why they were caught.

" Well, we've got debts in the boss. I don't know his name but they call him Nightmare. He and his group killed a lot of people since the apocalypse. They're too powerful. All we can do is hide our butts. "

Joel said then we waited for the guard to be.

awake.

" You guys rest. I'll guard this bastard. "

I told them and then they all went to sleep.

* Don't worry Lucas, I'll avenge your death. Yours too Stella and Mother. *
