Disclamer: I do not own the tribe but if i did i would be a lot cooler
A/N: this story was written at the request of one of my best friend Bethany she wanted a tribe story so here it is please review even if you hate the story
I decided to get some fresh air, the mall was getting to stuffy and I'd been in there all week, stupid Lex wouldn't let me out. But what can you do when your brother is head of security? All of his brainless followers where under strict orders to not let me out of the mall, and if they did they'd be skinned alive.
By the way, my name is Bambi, and I'm 16 teen years old, I'm also a Mallrat. Me, Lex, Zandra and Ryan where the only ones in our town that survived the virus, that killed all the grown-ups. Anyways as I was saying, I was able to sneak out because I bribed KC with my supply of chocolate for that week. I feel sorry for KC, if Lex finds out he'll roast him alive! I decided to walk down to the river, there's always a nice sunny spot to sit and read there at this time of the day. I am always careful when I walk through the city; I never go anywhere Lex may be. As I walked down the gravel road that leads to the river bank, I spot something on the edge of the bank.
"AHHHH!" I screamed. It's was a person! He looked unconscious my heart was beating fast what do I do, I ran as fast as I could to get help. The only person I could think of that was able to help me, was Lex.
'Damn, he's going to grounded me again' I thought. I kept running until I could see Ruby's bar. Slade was sitting out the front, I heard him yell to Lex that I was coming down the road. As I reached the bar I saw Lex walk out, I could tell he was angry that I was there.
"What the hell are you doing outside of the mall? Who let you out? I'll roast them alive when I get my hands on them!" Lex said angrily
"You can kill me later, but right now I need your help" I said anxiously
"Why what's happened? Is something wrong with Zandra?" Lex asked worriedly
"No, Zandra is fine! I was walking down to the river when I saw a boy on the bank. He had been bashed up, but I think he might be alive." I said quickly, wanting to get back to the boy as fast as possible.
"Why should I care?" Lex snorted
"Please Lex, just see if he's alive" I said sweetly and giving him the puppy dog stare.
"Fine, let's go. Stop doing that Bambi! You know I find it annoying." Lex said grumpily
"Thanks Lex" I smiled
"Whatever" Lex said
We ran all the way back to the river.
"Where is he, Bambi?" Lex asked me
"Over there, somewhere in the reeds." I replied nervously
"You stay here, I'll go check it out." he said curiously
I stayed on the river bank watching Lex; he pulled the boy out of the reeds.
"Bambi, he's alive, but barely. Run back to the mall and get Ryan and Bray" Lex said quickly
"Why do you want me to go get Bray and Ryan?" I asked curiously
"Because I can't carry him back to the mall myself!" Lex said angrily
I ran as fast as I could through the city. I got to the mall and yelled "Ryan! Bray! Where are you? I need your help!" I was panting
"Bambi, what's wrong?" Bray said worriedly
"Lex need's help, I found a boy when I was walking down to the river. He's alive, but badly injured. Lex needs you and Ryan to help him carry the boy back here, and he told me to hurry" I said quickly
"Ryan!" Bray yelled
"I'm coming, what's the problem?" Ryan said sleepily
"No time to explain, come on we have to go help Lex!" I said impatiently. We ran towards the river as fast as we could.
"There, Lex is over there" I yelled, pointing towards the reeds. Bray and Ryan hurried over to Lex, and I watched as they pulled him out of the reeds, I could see he had blond hair, as white as the sun. He had cuts all down the side of his face, and his arms where coved in dry blood. His clothes where torn and ripped, he was wearing a pair of grey jeans and a white tank top that was stained red with his blood.
The guys carried the boy all the way back to the mall; he hardly moved the whole time he was carried.
"Where are we going to put him?" Bray asked curiously
"You can put him in my room." I suggested nervously
"No, he is not sleeping in your room." Lex said angrily
"Lex, I found him, so I'm going to look after him" I retorted
"No way, Bambi" Lex said, shaking his head
"Lex, Bambi found him, let her look after him." Bray said, glaring at Lex.
"Fine. But I'll be on watch tonight, so if there's any trouble, and you can come find me." Lex walked away
"Fine." I rolled my eyes as Lex walked away.
I stayed by the boy's side all night. I applied bandagers to his arms and his chest; I kept a wet cloth on his head, as he had a fever. I was leaning over him, and his eyes opened, they were a deep brown colour. He grabbed my arm and pulled me on the bed, and then he reached for the bed side table and saw the knife that was there. I had used it to cut off his tank top, because he had a gash across his stomach. He took the knife and put it to my throat. I couldn't move, he was on top of me with one of his hands he was holding the knife to my throat and the other was holding my hands above my head. He leaned down so his mouth was level to my ear.
"If you scream for help, I'll slit your throat" he said in a quiet whisper. "Got it?" he held the knife closer to my throat, I nodded in response. "Good, now tell me where I am and how I got here."
"I found you a few days ago on the on the bank of a river. You were in pretty bad shape and my brother brought you here to make you better. You have been out cold for three days. I've been taking care of you, you're in my bedroom." I said quietly
"And how do I get out of here, without been seen?" he asked curiously
"You can't, my brother has people patrolling the mall day and night. But you can go out of the sewer, and up a manhole that leads to the city." I said nervously
"And how do I get there?" He asked me
"You go down the hall then down the stairs and then take a right through the café door the down the hall to another door and your there." I said in another whisper
"Good, I'm sorry about this. But I need a distraction" with that he pulls the knife away from my throat and puts in high above the air and
"AHHHH! I screamed all I could feel was a pain that shoot up my side with that the boy ran out of my room I all I could hear was my screams and the footsteps of people coming to see what all the noise was a bout all I could remember before I blacked out was Lex was standing over me screaming my name staying "don't you dare die on me" I heard worry in his voice.
I woke up a few hours later I tried to move but I couldn't a felt a jolt of pain up in the side of my thigh it hurt like hell "I don't care I'll go after him and rip out his throat for what he has done to my sister" Lex raised his voice
"Be quiet Lex she could wake up at any second" Bray said in a calm voice
"I don't care he almost killed her she's all I have left after my parents died" Lex was yelling now
"Lex calm down I feel the same she is the closes thing I have to a little sister to you know if I could go out and find him I would kill him myself" Ryan said in an angry voice
"If you care about my sister so much help me find the guy and help me rip out his throat" Lex was yelling at Ryan now
I moved out of bed it hurt like hell but I had to stop them I couldn't just sit in bed while they go and kill him.
