A/N: What will happen next? Just wait and see.
Sorry for not posting chapters for a few days, but I am still in school and I have to focus on my work so sorry.
Sarah's POV
I'm so scared, I want my dad, I need my dad. Me, Rebecca, Alvin and Matthew were hiding behind the banister, me and Rebecca practically shivering. I heard the doors downstairs opening and footsteps all over the place, Carver and his group were keeping everyone hostage.
I slowly and quietly looked in between the cracks, but Matthew pulled me back, "Don't do that," he instructed me, "it'll only tell him where we are." These words flowed through my mind over and over again, making sure not to do something I'll later regret.
"Where's Rebecca!?" I heard Carver yell from downstairs. Rebecca's eyes widened, Alvin was just staring at her. I lay against the banister, holding my breath, just so not to make a noise. "And Alvin and Sarah!?" He yelled again. "Fine." He said in his normal voice. I heard him grab someone, but I didn't know who it was.
"Let 'im go Bill," I heard Luke shout at him. Who was it? I need to know. Kenny better help us soon, where was he?
I then heard someone fall the the ground in pain. I then heard Carver say, "C'mon Sarah, come and help your daddy." Dad, no, no, no. I need to help him. I need to go now. I was about to stand up, but Matthew yet again stopped me, he just stared at me, but I understood what he was trying to say.
"We need to help him," Rebecca whispered. Alvin just stared at her again.
"What do you mean?" He responded, "I we go down there he'll kill us and you know it."
"He'll kill Carlos if we don't do something," she pleaded.
"Think about Sarah," Alvin reminded her, "If we bring her down with us, she'll end up dead." What? As they were arguing I could hear my dad getting hurt in some way, and screaming in agony.
"What if we leave her up here?" Rebecca said. Alvin looked at her with confusion, me being on the same page as him, what does she want me to do?
"What do you mean "leave her"?" Matthew asked, "that's just putting her in more danger."
"You stay with her," Rebecca planned, "you two stay here, me and Alvin go down and protect them so no one else can get hurt." It sounded good, but how will we find them afterwards?
"What happens when he takes you away with him?" I asked her.
"Matthew," she started, "you wait until 10 minutes after they've left, then take Sarah south, do you know where Howe's Hardware store is?"
"Yeah," Matthew replied. He obviously didn't like this plan, but he was out of options. I turned around to see through the crack, and I saw my dad, sitting on his knees, bruises all over his face and his fingers broken. Tears started to roll down my face. I couldn't force myself to carry on watching as Carver was beating up my dad.
Rebecca stood up, "Bill stop!" She demanded. I could just tell that Carver was smiling in delight that he finally broke her. Rebecca and Alvin left me and Matthew where we were and walked down the stairs. "Fuck you, Bill," I heard Rebecca say as soon as her foot hit the floor.
All of a sudden I heard a gunshot and glass breaking, I looked through the cracks again and I saw that the window was shattered and one of Carver's guys was lying on the floor dead. Carver's other guys, Bonnie and Troy both hid behind a few pillars, blocking them from the window that just shattered.
"I can't see 'im," Bonnie said. Carver then walked over to the group, he looked over them and grabbed Walter by the arm.
"No," I heard Matthew whisper to himself. I couldn't imagine what he must be feeling right now. Carver then kicked Walter to the ground, when Walter raised his head, Carver pulled the trigger of his gun. Walter's body hit the ground. Matthew started crying, but not loud enough for anybody to actually hear.
"That was for our man," Carver yelled towards the window, "Now I didn't want to do this, but carry on, and I'll put another bullet in one of your men." I heard another bullet go through the room, but it only just missed Carver. Damn. Carver walked over to Alvin and picked him up by his arm and walked over towards the window, pointing the gun towards Alvin's head.
This can't happen, not now to Rebecca, I saw a book lying on the ground next to the wall, I grabbed it. I peeked over the edge of the banister and threw the book at Carver's head, and it actually hit him. Carver dropped his gun, but then a bullet went through his arm, but going through another window, breaking it. I hid again so no one could see me.
"Who was that?" Carver said. Everybody shook their heads so Carver just pushed Alvin back towards the rest of the group, thank God.
Carver walked over to the group again, but this time grabbed Sarita. He walked over to the window that smashed last, holding a gun towards Sarita head. I then heard a voice from outside saying, "I'm coming out," most probably Kenny.
Bonnie walked over to the front door and let Kenny inside. Eveybody was back in line and Carver stood in front of them. "Where's Sarah?" He said. Nobody gave an answer. "Well that's a shame, didn't come across her body on the way here, so she's probably alive, either here or she's lost. But frankly I don't care, I have other things in mind." He said and then looked at Rebecca.
"Well, let's get a move on," I heard Carver say, "We've got a while til we reach our destination, may as well leave no so we get there quicker." He and his group took everyone out of the building.
Me and Matthew stayed in the building in silence, waiting for our 10 minutes to be over and done with.
A/N: So Walter has died and Matthew and Sarah are together to stay safe. How will they try and save the others, wait and see in the next chapter.
