Chapter 10
YOU
Eagles - Wasted Time
That afternoon, Eve had tears running down her cheeks as she imagined herself playing out in the open with Vicki and her father. She stood outside her den watching the past.
War was now. Eve, Winston, Tommy, Sally-Jo, Rex, Leslie, Tony, Tatum, Jackie and Haley currently had no part in it. Tommy and Sally-Jo were currently in hiding.
"This will never be over, will it?" asked Eve.
"You are most correct." said Beck, behind her.
"You killed my parents, didn't you!?" shouted Winston.
"No, actually, Claire helped." said Beck.
"You motherfucker!" Winston shouted and jumped at Beck, who then punched him hard in the side, which sent him tumbling down the hills.
"You have no idea how humiliating it is when I tell lies I want people to believe and they don't believe them." said Beck.
"They know you're evil." said Eve.
Beck laughed and then spoke.
"Silly little pregnant girl!" Beck said. "I got what I wanted and I will come out on the top. Now, watch me kill Winston."
"No!" Eve cried. "Please don't! He's the father of my babies!"
Beck smiled.
"You think I give a shit?" asked Beck and jumped down to Winston, who then reached weakly for a tree branch with his right arm, blood running out his mouth, gasping for air.
Beck then punched that arm and broke it.
"I'm going to reform your face." said Beck. "It will only sting for a millisecond."
Right then, Winston knew he was going to die.
As Beck raised back a fist, another tree branch went through Beck's chest. He then fell beside Winston to reveal Eve.
"Are you a warlord now?" asked Eve. "Silly little pregnant girls can still kill."
"Honey, are you okay?" she asked and pulled Winston off the ground. They began walking back up to the den.
"He broke... my arm..." Winston coughed. "And... my rib cage."
"Well, you listen to me." said Eve. "We're gonna make it through this."
It was seven weeks before Winston made his recovery. There was only one week left before Winston and Eve's children were born.
