Chapter 25: Back from the Camp to the Dinner
Axel's POV
At the dairy farm
We were heading to the main gate. I'm still can't thinking about those words about Danny and his folks from that crazy woman. Was she tried to tell us that the dairy farm isn't what we believe it is? Urgh... I'm getting to be paranoid and can't blaming myself about this because of the St Johns.
I looking up on the sky and it seems like it's getting dark. I see some dark clouds are heading to us, to the dairy. Man, it'll be rain, hope not.
After we get in the dairy, Danny turned around and looked at us with a creepy smile. "Man, that was a hell of a ride, huh?" He said and reefer back in the woods as I frowned at him.
"Jesus, Danny." Lee said with a disgusting tone and throw rifle to Danny as he catch it. "What? You ain't getting soft on em, are ya? Not after what they did to your friend?" Danny said sarcastic while keep his smiled.
"I would if it was a wrong pers-" But cut off by Brenda who stand sitting front steps of the porch and stand up. "You're back! What happened?"
"Handled it, Mama." Danny answered and walked over to the tree stump near the swing.
I glare at him as he keep his actions in secret from his own mom. Maybe she doesn't know what Danny have really doing sort of things when he's outside of the dairy. But I noticed Brenda sitting down again and can see from here that she looks sad. Or maybe she knew it, but couldn't stop him from doing some stupid things.
I close my eyes and start think about what I've forgot... hmm... Oh Yeah! I noticed Lee was going to check on Brenda.
"Wait, Lee." I shouted as Lee stand and turned around. "Here, give it to Clem." I reached out her hat to Lee. "Are you sure, I mean you're the one who found it?" Lee asked.
"Hey, you promised her to find her hat, and it doesn't matter because you or me would have found it where we going to the camp, even... it cost someone's life." I said and have a little sympathy expression on my face. Lee look sympathy too about that woman in the woods.
"Okay, thanks for helping to find the camp. I wish we shouldn't have it, but it was worth to find about these bandits and Clem's hat too." Lee said grateful, but still look sympathy about that woman.
"No problem, man." I said and walked over to Emily who standing at the main gate and look at the view of the land around dairy.
Maybe she need to know about what happened the camp, I hope she will understand about my opinions about this dairy.
Emily noticed me when I approached her. "Oh, Axel. Thank god you're okay. What happened in the woods? Did found some of these bandits?" Emily asked curious.
I wasn't sure how I going to answer that. But I huffed out and answer to her. "We found a camp in the woods as Danny had right about it, but then we meet a woman there: she was crazy and ain't right in her head. She talking about something crazy stuff and then, Danny just shot her." I explained about what happened in the woods as Emily's eyes looks chock and horror by the incident.
"Oh god! Jesus, why'd he do that?" Emily asked with her frightened face. "I don't know, but it seems like that woman knew something about Danny and his family that we don't. Danny acted little worry too when I and Lee suggest that woman wasn't one of these bandits." I said and frowned at Danny who still sitting on the stump and holding his rifle.
"Wait, you don't think that woman wasn't one of them, bandits?" Emily asked and she's little chocked.
I put my finger on forehead. "No, or she was one of them. I wish we could have help her, but Cath and Clem are the two things that I can't do that." I said and earned a questionable glance from Emily.
"What you mean by that? What is with Cath and Clem to the woman?" Emily asked.
"We found a photo of that woman and her daughter, I think these bandits must have done something horrible thing with her. And then... she's gone which it make that woman have lost of her mind. We didn't just found her stuff except Clementine's lost hat which was disappeared for a few days ago. That woman have spying on us at the motel without anyone notice by her and became delighted of Clem and Cath too because of her lost daughter. Kind of creepy, huh?" I explained as Emily got a disgust expression on her face.
"Eeek, did Cath or Clem know about it?" Emily asked. "No. We don't tell them about it. They'll believe it was their own fault or something like that." I answered as Emily nods.
"Then screw it for everybody then, why don't you?!" Someone exclaimed and we saw it was Lilly who argue with Kenny, again. Then Kenny scowled at her and told her something before he walk away. Lilly glare at him and get back to the gazebo. Me and Emily looked each other over that argument.
"What's going on with them?" I asked as Emily shook her head and sent a glance Lilly and Kenny. "I heard Kenny saw something in the barn right before we moved in there to check on Maybelle. Then Lilly just outburst right front of his face." Emily said.
Maybelle? Wait, did she the sick cow and the only animal the St Johns have left?
"The cow? Katjaa help the cow now?" I said as Emily nods.
"Yeah, she do right now. She's a life-saver." Emily said. "But Kenny and Lilly, it seems like they never get along each other." Emily suggested.
She's right. Kenny and Lilly never stop arguing over past three months.
"You can say that. They don't exactly see eye to eye on how should we doing be with things" I agree.
"Let's go to the barn and see how the cow feel." Emily suggest as I looked at Lee who talking with Brenda and then Danny... man that guy go on my nerves.
"Okay, but I have to talk with Brenda about something. I catch you guys then." I said as Emily accepted that. "Okay, just hurry up then. Cath and Clem was really worried about you and Lee." Emily said and walked over to the barn.
I go to talk with Brenda who still talking with Lee. They noticed me when I was right near them. "Hey, Brenda. How's with you?" I asked.
"I'm fine, my dear boy. It just... Terry wouldn't have wanted what how we dealing with a bunch threat people." Brenda said as I sent a questionable glance to her.
Terry? Never heard of him before.
"Who's Terry?" I asked as Lee give me a glance. "Axel..." He try to tell me, cut off by Brenda. "My husband. Missed him every day." She said as I feel little shame to ask about it.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Shouldn't have asked." I said as put a hand on my back.
"It's okay. You don't have to feel shame for that. And don't worry about these bandits anymore, but you all safe here." Brenda said and try to calm me down.
But I can't stop thinking about Danny's creepy actions and that crazy woman in the woods.
"We ran into some trouble out there." I said as Lee shake his head over my words that maybe it's not good idea. I don't think too, but maybe to find out if Brenda know about Danny's creepy natural.
"I was just glad you two weren't hurt. Those bandits just don't know when to quiet. But my boys... they can hold their own." Brenda said.
What?! To kill some strangers like what Danny did in the woods?!
"We met a woman out there, at the camp. She wasn't one of those bandits. It sounds like they did something pretty bad to her and your marauders are still out there." I explained what we found out in the woods.
"I think all them folks out in the woods had drugs problems." Brenda said with a frown.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked and waving my hands up as I don't understand what she means. "Means you can't trust 'em. Any of 'em." Brenda said strictly.
Well, I have or had someone I can trust who have drugs problems. Wish I could tell that to Brenda, but it will revealed about my past.
"Okay..." I answered slowly with doubtful. "I think we'll take a look around." Lee suggest. "Now, don't do it for long, dinner will be ready before you know it." Brenda said as we nods and walk down of the hill.
When we're on the ground, we saw Clem and Cath who are in the barn and standing at the door. They waving us as we did same to them. They smiled and close the door.
"Let's get in the barn and see what's going on there now." I said.
"Sounds good. Go in there. I going to talk with Lilly." Lee said and we walked over to the barn. Then we split up as I going into the barn while Lee walked over to Lilly and Larry.
Now finally what we'll find out what the St Johns have in that barn. I opened the port and walked in.
In the barn
When I got in the barn, I see Cath, Clem, Emily, Duck, Katjaa and Andy sitting around of a cow who laying on the floor and didn't barely moving.
It was a long time ago when I saw a cow in the kid's age.
Cath saw me and standing up to talk with me. "Hey, Dix. Are you and Lee okay? Did you found those people who shot Mark?" She asked as I don't how to answer that and I see Emily nods little slowly that is okay except that crazy woman were after Cath and Clem.
"We didn't found any bandits, but a woman in the woods. She was crazy and told about some sick actions what she really want to do it. Then Danny shoot her." I said as Cath looked horror in her eyes.
"Oh shit. Hey, wait a minute. Danny said the camp was one of bandits camps, right?" Cath asked and remember what Danny told earlier as I shook little my head.
"Look, Cath. Listen, just be careful around with Danny or his family's too, okay?" I said as Cath nods.
"Okay. You wanna stay and watch the cow with us?" Cath asked.
Hmm, I don't know if I have good time before it's dinner time. I have to check everything in here, just be sure.
"I wanna do that, but I have some things to check out." I said as Cath look little unhappy to hear my answer.
"Okay, just don't make too long before it's dinner time." Cath said and her look has a boring expression. But she turned around again to talk with me again.
"Dix, eh, did you heard about what Kenny found?" Cath asked as I nods. "Yes, I did." I answered.
"Well, Kenny said that he saw something inside of that door, over there."
She point her finger at furthest middle of the barn, there was a doubles doors which had a pad lock and assembly over it as it made me curious and suspiciously.
"I thought Kenny become paranoid now, but then I found a bunch of clothes with bloodstains in that stall, on the right of that door." Cath explained while I've got many interesting thoughts in my head and looked at the door. "I have got a bad feeling about this and believe that Kenny may have right about the door."
"Thanks, Cath. You did a great job. Stay here with your sister and the others except the St Johns." I said grateful and smiled at her as she nods before getting back to the others to watch the cow.
I'm walked over there and looked everywhere. Then I look at one of stall right on the right of door. I opened the door and saw there was bunch of bloodstained clothes as what Cath said.
Why the hell St Johns have those clothes in here and why they're covered by the blood? Maybe it's not a big deal, but why didn't Andy have mentioned them?
I closed the stall and watch at the door again.
"My hat!" I heard Clementine exclaimed with happy tones. I turned around and saw Clem got her hat back. I smiled at Clem as Katjaa and Emily did same.
Then I turned back to the doors. I peeks little closer. Then I noticed Lee approached me and turned around to talk to him.
"Hey, did you heard Kenny saw something in there?" I asked.
"Yeah, Lilly told me about it." Lee said. I scoffed little before answer back. "I guess Lilly didn't accept to find out behind this door." I guess.
"Yeah." Lee answered. "Well, I don't know you didn't knew it, but I told Kenny to keep his eye on Andy while we were in the forest with Danny." I explained.
"Is that so? But where is-" Lee was cut off by the person that he wonder where he is. "Y'all found it too, huh?" It was Kenny who shows up right behind us and approached the doors.
"Yeah, Cath mentioned that you saw something in there, right?" I asked while nods. "Damn right. I think you have right about this barn, Axel. Really, they're hiding something, behind this door. I got a quick look; they've got boxes of stuff, and something metal and sharp." Kenny explained.
I knew it there was something going on here.
"So what now? What're we gonna do?" I asked lowly so Andy can't hear us.
"Go find me a hammer or something and I'll have this thing off in a second. Y'all back me up in case them farmers come running here." Kenny planned.
Whoa, whoa, that's a stupid plan, Kenny. We don't wanna get trouble with them...yet. I'm not sure what will the St Johns do when they find out that we've sneaked behind this door.
"Hold on, man, think this through. You smash the lock and get a look inside, and then what if it turns out that you're wrong, huh? You've just fucked up the only chance you had to get a good meal inside that family you're trying to protect. Use your head, Kenny." Lee enlighten Kenny.
"Exactly, Kenny. Let's think little smart here for now." I said.
"All right, professors, what'd you have in mind?" Kenny scoffed little. "Let me have a look at what we're dealing with first." I said and take closer at the lock.
After I looked at the lock. It won't help without my friends of our crew. "Pick a lock isn't my thing, sorry. Let's see here..." I said as Kenny looked at Lee.
"Hey, Lee. You know how to pick a lock, right?" Kenny asked as I wonder too if he knows how to do. Lee looked at Kenny with a surprised look.
"No! Why would you say that?" Lee answered surprised. "Well, you're… you know… urban?" Kenny said little nervously as Lee glare at him.
Seriously, Kenny? What the hell did you got that from?
"Oh, you are not saying what I think you're saying!" Lee growled lowly. "Jesus, man, I'm from Florida. Crazy shit just comes outta my mouth sometimes." Kenny said and feel shame for what did he said to Lee.
I sighed and shakes my head as Lee did before continue my search at the lock. Then I saw the screws of the lock. "Hmm..."
"What?" Kenny asked.
See those screws? Instead of busting the lock, we can just take off the assembly, have a peek inside, and then put it all back together before anyone even notices. It'll be like nothing even happened." I explained as Lee and Kenny nods and agree with me.
"All right, sounds like you got a plan. I'll hang around and keep an eye on that guy with the cow." Kenny said and it seems like he didn't remember Andy's name.
"It's Andy." Lee correctly Kenny as he huffed with his annoying tones. "Shit, I thought he was Danny. Whatever."
"Can I help you boys find something?" It was Andy who asked and noticed that we are at the door. We three are so speechless until Lee made an excuse quickly. "What's behind this door, Andy?"
"Just tools. We keep it locked so the people in the woods don't try and grab 'em. We'd be dead without our tools." Andy explained.
Really? I give Andy a doubtful glare.
"Hey, uh, do me a favor and don't fuck around with that door. It's just- you know, Momma gets nervous." Danny said and Katjaa shouted him. "Andrew, I need your help again."
"No problem, right away, Doc." Andy answered and walk back to help Katjaa.
I shook my head. We can't opened the door as long he's here.
"What are we gonna do? We have to distract him somehow." I asked.
"Let's see what I can find out on the outside." Lee said and walk to the port. He get outside.
I hope he find a way as I crossed my arms and leaned to the wall. Kenny did same and we waiting.
A few minutes later.
It's been a while and Andy didn't moved away. Come on, Lee. What're you doing?
Then I noticed Andy stand up and walk to the port. He open it and go out.
Hmm, please tell me that he will never come back. Then after a few moments, Lee shows back and came to us. As finally we'll find out what's in behind this door.
"I also picked up something that could help us with the lock." Lee answered as Kenny and I smiled. "Sounds great. Nobody can stop us now." I said.
But then we heard dinner bells ringing. Shit! Not now.
"What did you just say?" Lee asked and scoffed little.
"Me and my big mouth." I mumbled and getting be little annoying.
"Dad! Daaad! Come on, let's eeaaat!" Duck exclaimed and so eager over the dinner. He running away as the other stands up and walk to thought the port.
"Kenny, come along, honey." Katjaa said.
Wait just a second.
"Are guys coming?" Cath asked.
"Hurry up before the dinner getting cold." Emily said.
Kenny sighed as he have to get his family and the others away from the barn so they don't disturb me and Lee. "I'll make an excuse for y'all. Get that thing off!" He said and walk away with the other.
"Well, how about you fix it while I watch your back in the case if St Johns are back." I said as Lee nods.
"Okay then. Just keep the watch while I screw of those screws." He said as I nods and looking at the port if Andy or Danny.
But I wonder if they're going back and then what if we didn't make it to opened the door. I heard Lee have screw almost all of screws. Then in a moment, I heard he opened the door while I'm still in the watch.
"What was in there, Lee?" I asked, got no answer. "Well, Lee? What do you see?" I asked again, but no answer again!.I turned around with a annoying look. What didn't he answer me?
"For Christ's sake, Lee! What was in...there?" I said in chock in the last word. What the hell? I can see now why didn't Lee answer because he was in horror chock as I am too. Behind theses doors: it was a room with blood everywhere, floor, walls and tables too. There was some bloodstained tools.
What the fuck?! What kind of farmers would have a blood room like that one?
"Boys, didn't you hear the bell?" We turned around to find Andy standing at the a few feet away from them with a creepy smile on his face.
Oh-uh, we're in trouble.
"Dinner time." Andy correctly about what did he mean.
Is he start to play like we didn't saw this room? I'm getting be little frustration now.
"Why the fuck is there so much blood in this room?!" I exclaimed.
"Look, we have food here, but Danny and I still gotta do a lot of hunting to keep everyone fed. When we catch something in the woods, we skin it and dress it back there. Mama doesn't like us to make a mess in the house. So, you see? Nothing to worry about." Danny explained and earned some skeptical glare from me and Lee.
Hmph! I don't buy that. He making a good lie, but still doesn't beat me.
We start to walked away to the house as we don't have much to argue about that room.
Things is getting more and more uncomfortable here.
During the way to the house, I asked to Lee. "We have to tell the others, Lee. Those people here, they're not..."
"I am afraid we can't do that, Axel. The St Johns will tell them what Andy told us. Our group will believe them and think we have become crazy." Lee said.
I sighed out. He's right, let's go to eat at the dinner and we'll see what happen next.
In the St Johns's house
Andy had opened it for us and allowed to step inside just as Lilly had stepped out from the bathroom in the hall while we hear our people talk happy and enjoying over the dinner. Then we saw a bookcase blocking the way to the back of the house and scratch marks on the floor beside it. What's those scratch for?
"Excuse the mess. We had to block the back door after a walker got upstairs." Danny explained about the bookcase as Lee and I give him a skeptical glance. "Don't worry, that was a while ago and they ain't been back inside since." Then I saw he have a revolver in the back of his waistband while we were behind him and walk in the hall.
Why did he have a gun right in the dinner?
I noticed Lee have got a disgust expression as I have. This family aren't as we thought. We see everyone are sitting on the dining table and Danny took place between sisters Carver and Cath sitting right next of Clem.
"Everybody sit down and I'll go get the meal. Ooh, this is a delight." Brenda said.
"I can eat horse." Kenny said and earned a glare from Cath. "That's not nice to talk about horse, Kenny." Cath said.
Oh, Cath. She doesn't understand what Kenny talking about.
"Cath, it was a ... eh, proverb." I said and she looked misunderstand at me. Then I looked around and noticed someone is missing. Mark, where the hell is he?
"Where's Mark?" Lee asked and look worried about him.
"Now don't you worry about him. I already brought some food up for him. You just let him rest." Brenda explained.
Hmm, that makes sense, but is he really need to take a rest? He just got an arrow through his shoulder. Maybe it's time to check him.
"Mind if we wash our hands first?" I asked as Lee nodded.
"Bathroom's right outside in the hall. And be sure to get under your nails, you've been mucking around in the dirt all day." Brenda explained where is the bathroom and me and Lee nodded before we turned around to walked in the hallway.
We stand and noticed there was some multiple plaques on the walls, Andy's diploma and Danny's baseball trophy. "Hmm, those boys aren't stupid and they have played sports for fun." I comment about those plaques as I see Lee looked at family photo on the walls, at the other side.
"This must be Terry." Lee said.
I walked over to see the photo: It was Brenda and a old man with her, Terry. He reminds me little Andy in older vision, Danny have some examples from his mother.
Then we saw the stairs which is leading up to bedroom where Mark are. It's dark up there and that gives me some bad feelings.
"What do you think, Lee? I don't know if Brenda is involve about that blood room, she trying to make us to don't worry about Mark." I said.
"It might be dangerous to go up there. If we do, we'll leave the girls with the St Jones and they will have an advantage for that." Lee said.
I guess he's right. Oh well, I go up.
"Fine, then I go while you keep watch the girls and the others just in case if they discover me." I suggest.
"Okay, be careful up there and find Mark if he's alright." Lee said and I nodded. He walked back to the dinner while I go up to the stairs slowly.
Okay... be careful, don't fuck this up. Then one of my steps have let out a creak. Shit! I look behind in a few seconds and nobody hear that. Thank god. I keep going up until I am on the second floor now.
Then I see door right on the left of me, but then I noticed there was a red cord which it's leading to a closet.
Hmm, what's the cord going? I approached to the closet and opened it up. In closet there was a bunch of medical supplies. Eugh, what the hell is this? Morphine, Krokodil, IV tubes, saline… What would dairy farmers need with this kind of stuff? Then I see the cord lead all the way to a plug from inside the closet.
I bends down and connects them, then a small light shows up. What the hell? The light came from a small hole in the wall of the closet.
There's another room? I bends up and walked to the door, I opened it.
Then there was bed in the room, but Mark wasn't there? Where the hell is he? What did you have done with him, Brenda?" I frowned now and heard the storm are coming now as it started to thunder. Then I see a small blood stain on the floor and more light was shining from underneath a bookshelf.
I knew it. There is another room as I approached to the bookshelf. I pushes it to the left and finds another door. Let's see what you got in there, Brenda.
I opened it up slowly and heard someone breathing bad. Then I found Mark who laying on on the blood-stained floor and... WHAT THE... He has no LEGS?!
As I looked at me with wide-eyed in horror and chock. Then Mark start to move and see me.
"Axel..." Mark struggled to say.
I bends down to talk and check on him. "Mark, what happen?" I asked as he trying to explained about how he lost his legs. "…Brothers…"
"Where the hell happened with your legs, man? Was it And and Danny who cut your legs off?" I asked as Mark didn't answer my question instead he tell another thing.
"Don't...eat...dinner." Mark huffed.
What, what did he... Holy shit! They're fucking cannibals! That's why those bandits attacked us, how Jolene trying to tell us, why there was a bunch of bloodstained clothes in the stall and that bloody room. The I heard Brenda shouted to me. "Axel, did you fall in? Dinner's on the table and everyone's waiting on you."
My blood is getting boil. That fucking woman trying to trick us. Wait, oh no. The girls and the others are going to eat Mark's meat.
I rushes out the bedroom, down the stairs and abruptly stops right at the dining room doorway. I see some of them have already start to eat except Clem and Cath who are going to eat their first taste.
"Don't eat that!" I exclaimed as Cath and Clem looked at me in chock, but they put their forks down on the table.
"Axel, Jesus boy. Did you find something?" Kenny asked with a skeptical look.
"Aw sit your ass down, Axel; this lady has made you a meal!" Larry snapped, but I ignored him and glare at Brenda.
"Yeah, Axel, what's gotten into you?" Lilly asked.
"He's just a little starved." Brenda suggest as I looked more angry to her.
"He could use some goddamn manners!" Larry complained.
Fuck the manners, asshole. The only manners is why would you shut your mouth.
"It didn't have to be this way…" Danny mumbled as he know what I have been.
"This woman right here is fucking insane!" I exclaimed with my anger tones as Brenda get chock by me.
"This woman made you a home-cooked meal, you ungrateful shit! Show some respect!" Larry shot back and protecting Brenda.
Respect? What's got into you with her?
"Thank you, Larry." Brenda said and glare at me.
"You don't even have the DECENCY to take a handout when you're offered one." Larry snapped at me which I getting more angry at him. "It just makes me sick, it really does." Then Brenda waving her hand up to Larry. "That's enough, Larry." Brenda said and trying to calm Larry.
As I see Emily and Katjaa getting be worry now about the St Johns.
"Cath, Stay close with Clem." Emily said carefully.
"Kenny, maybe we should-" But cut off by her husband. "Just keep Duck close with you, alright." Kenny said and be on guard.
"That fucking woman fed you a man's legs!" I exclaimed as Larry scoffed. "And she's the insane one? Ha!"
He's protecting her?! Fuck, Larry.
"Axel, what the hell is wrong with you?" Lilly asked as Andy looking at me.
"Don't indulge him, Lilly. There's always something with this guy." Larry said.
What about yourself, you old fuck?!
Then I saw Katjaa grabbed Duck's plate of food away from him. "Mom, I was gonna eating that." Doug whined.
Good work, Katjaa. Duck was hungry and enjoyed over the food, but it wasn't to blame him for that.
"What the hell's going on?" Cath asked curious while her eyes is kinda in horror.
"What is going on is they're picking us off to trade as meat!" I exclaimed.
"You're outta your skull!" Larry bellowed as my blood boils more than before.
That's it! Time to give him a really answer.
"Fuck you, Larry. Go ahead, eat how much you want. But tell Brenda to get more meat and then you'll see why she go to the upstairs instead to the kitchen. Because Mark is upstairs right now with NO LEGS! Brenda, tell me that he was not about to be eaten right now!" I yelled as Larry feel insulted by me and are going to tell me back, but interrupted by Lee.
"No offense, Brenda. But where did you get this meat from when you guys have just a cow and what the hell are we eating?" Lee asked as everybody start to look each others in confused by his and my words about the food and Mark.
Everybody looked at Brenda, including Larry and her sons too with their eyes in little horror. As Brenda look confused that she can't hiding her secret no longer and huffed before she answer.
"It's true." Brenda answered and confirmed my story as Lee and Cath push their plates away from them and got a disgusting expression.
"Everything coulda turned out okay for you folks…" Danny mumbled with a creepy tone.
Okay? What you think we are?
"He would've died anyway! We gotta think about living!" Andy added as Emily stand up from her sit with her anger face.
"What the did you mean that he will died? He was just gonna be fine and just give him up?! You all are fucking monsters!" Emily exclaimed as I'm and the others was surprised over her outburst.
Whoa! She was loud than Chris's and Cath's tones. My dad have told me for once that most of pretty good girls like Emily have a hidden very temper. Still surprised by her.
"Settle down, honey…" Brenda said to calm Emily as she's sitting down again no doubt. "Growin' up in rural Georgia, you're taught not to waste. It's how I was raised and how I raised my boys. Now, you got monsters roaming around that do nothing but eat people. And for what? To continue to rot till they eat some more! We think we can put that meat to better use."
As after she finished her last words, everyone except her sons push their plates away from them and have disgusted eyes by St Johns's cannibalism.
"Ugh, I'm gonna puke." Lilly groaned while she push her plate away from her.
"You're all sick… sick in the head!" Lee said about St Johns's cannibalism life.
Fucking psychos! Let's get this "party" over.
"Think this through, Brenda. You're outnumbered." I said coldly as Brenda looked at me and Lee with a unhappy face.
"Boys, that's not very nice things to imply." Brenda said and looking back to our group while take a calm breath. "Andy is right; we go after folks who were gonna die anyways, one way or another." As the group look at her with their eyes in fear and anger.
Danny eat another piece of the human meat and looking at the group with his creepy and scary face. "Like y'all."
Shit. I'm just standing and don't what will happen as I and Andy glare each other. As Lee stand up slowly and suddenly waving his arm up to Lilly.
"Lilly, grabbed the knife!" Lee exclaimed.
Lilly do what Lee said as she grabbed her knife and was going to attack Andy who sitting right next to her, but he draws his gun and aims it at the woman's face.
"Nobody's going anywhere!" Andy exclaimed as his brother stands up and holding his rifle to aiming at the others and then me too when I was going to bring my crossbow.
"We got lots of use for y'all, right here." Danny said with an evil smirk on his face and the looked at me. "And you, don't try to do anything stupids. Stay back from your nice crossbow. It might be useful to hunt anything in the woods."
I sent a angry glance to him. You will never get your hands on my father's crossbow. I swear I will shoot through your eyes.
Then I see everyone start to ramble as we're screwed now.
"What the- What… the fucking- What… Fuck!?" Larry start to swear.
"Put your guns down! We're walking out of here!" Lilly exclaimed.
"You don't go near my fucking family!" Kenny exclaimed and scowled at Andy and his family.
"Don't dare to hurt my little sister or anyone! Just let us go and you guys will never see us anymore!" Emily exclaimed right to Brenda, but the mother ignored her.
"Mommy, I don't want to die! Mommy, what did I eat?" Duck whimpered as his mother put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"Everyone, everything will be ok." Lee said as I shake my head little over his word.
"We're screwed, Lee. For now." I said as Lee look at me. "Don't said that now. We'll be fine." Lee objected.
Then we saw Clementine shake little and get panick. "Lee... Lee." As Cath put her hand on her friend's shoulder, but suddenly Andy grabbed the little girl's hair and drag her from seat which she yelling in pain.
"What the hell are you doing, asshole?!" Cath exclaimed and look chock and angry what Andy did to Clem as he aiming his gun at her.
You fucking monster! Leave her alone! Then I see Lee have become furious over what he saw. "Raaaaauggh!" He bellowed as to start ran for the table, but he quickly stopped when Danny aimed his rifle at him. Lee turned to Danny and looked with his death glance at him as I did too.
Then we hear something upstairs fall on the wooden floor as its catching everyone's attention. What was that? Something is coming closer, but slower. Wait... could it be...
"Pleeease! Someone!" It was Mark who crawling across the floor and still bleeding as leaving a trail of blood behind.
Jesus, he must have dragging himself after I left door of the secret room behind. He's losing too much blood. I heard everyone gasps in chock and fear when they saw Mark with no legs.
I see the girls was shook what they as Lee was going to her. "Clemen-!" But Danny hit Lee right to his head by butt of the rifle. He collapse down to the floor and didn't move after that. He's completely unconscious.
"Pleeease, don't do this..." Mark begged as Danny walked over to him. "Oh, shut up." Danny scoffed and hit Mark just like what he did to Lee.
Fucking asshole.
"You motherfucker!" I exclaimed as Danny aiming his rifle at me. "Be quiet and be a good boy too." Danny said with his evil smirk.
"Now, now, boys. Let's not doing any worse now. Well boys, why wouldn't you help them to lead to the storage." Brenda said as her sons nodded. "Will do, mama." Andy answered.
As the group looked at them angry and scary, but they can't do anything as St Johns have Clementine and Lee as hostages. I saw Larry turned to Lilly and she shake to do not anything as Larry glare at Lee.
Hey, don't blame him, you asshole!
I wonder what will be next.
A few minutes later
Kenny and I carry unconscious Lee and walk with the others as the brothers still aiming their guns at us while guide to the barn.
When we're in the barn, we walk to the doors.
Oh no, not that room.
Andy opened the door and we all getting in. I noticed everyone was surprise and chock when they saw blood everywhere in this room. I see Emily hold her hands around Cath and Clementine. Clem look so horror by this traumatic show.
"What the hell is this place?" Cath asked and have disgust and fear in her eyes, not much as Clem have.
I don't want to answer that, but it's too late for keep that in mind.
"A slaughterhouse, I guess." I said as Cath and Clem hold tight around Emily.
Andy opened a metal door and order us to get in there. "Get in there."
We all walked in there, but Danny hold Katjaa and Duck left. Kenny and I laying Lee down on the floor.
"Hey, don't touch my family! What're you gonna do with them?" Kenny exclaimed and look angry.
"We need her and you too for our cow." Andy explained and pointing at Emily.
"Me?" Emily asked. "Yeah, just in case if the vet need extra help." Andy said.
"No, don't take my sister! She's all I have left!" Cath yelled as Andy grabbed Emily away from the girls, I hold Cath so she never get trouble with St Johns by the force.
"Calm down, Cath. She will be fine, I'm promise." I calm Cath down and looked at the brothers. "I can understand now, but why Duck too?" I said and glare at the brothers.
As Danny gives us a evil smirk again. "Just in case if these womens did't listened our orders." Danny said as Kenny and Katjaa looked at the brothers with their eyes in fear.
"Don't worry, Cath. Everything gets be fine." Emily said lowly to her little sister as Danny took her away along with Kenny's family.
Those bastards are going to use Duck as bargaining chip if Katjaa and Emily refuse to do what the St Johns want.
The brothers walked away with Emily and Kenny's family from this metal room or in another word, Meat Locker.
"And now, stay and don't anything stupid here." Andy said and close the door as Kenny start run to them.
"Noooo!" Kenny yelled as the door close it. He start to banging the door.
Seriosly. That ain't working that way.
"Kenny! We will ain't get through that way." I said as Kenny stop, suddenly Larry came behind and pushes us aside. "Hey! What was that for?!" I exclaimed.
Larry start to banging at the door. "I'll break this door down myself. What're you think?" Larry exclaimed as I shaking my head.
I telling, this guy will get us trouble if those cannibals are coming back here.
"We should have left when we had the chance." Lilly said as it catch mine and Kenny's attentions.
"What are you mumbling about?" Kenny asked as I listened too.
"I told you that this farm wasn't safe to begin with, but you all just had to insist on having the whole group to stay here!" Lilly exclaimed as Kenny getting angry at her.
"Hey! I told you they were hiding something here, but you want left behind just because of a fucking privacy!" Kenny exclaimed.
Tch, I wouldn't argue about this, but our home isn't safe either since that crazy woman stole Clementine's hat without someone noticed.
"Shut up, both of you! It doesn't matter now, not after what happened with Mark, we're here now! Even we decide to leave this place earlier, I'm sure this won't be last time to see St Johns again! So quiet it!" I exclaimed as earned a couple of glares from Kenny and Lilly.
They separate from each other as I looking at Clementine and Cath who look after with unconscious Lee. I walked over to them as they noticed.
"Is Lee going be alright?" Clementine asked with her worry face.
"He will be. Just look after him while I try to find a way out of here." I said as Clem nodded.
"Hey, Dix. Thanks for stopping us from eat that..." Cath said grateful, but have disgusting look about the dinner.
I smiled at them as the did same. I'm glad they didn't get any "taste" in the dinner.
"No proble-" But cut off by Larry who turned away from the door and glare at me.
"The rest of us did! If you hadn't dragged your feet-" Larry bellowed.
"Come on, dad. Now's not the time." Lilly interrupted Larry, but he give an annoying look to his daughter.
"That evil fucker throw his fucking old man's hand at me and told to eat it, remember? Then maybe he knew before the dinner started so he can wait-" Larry yelled as I glare at him.
And you know why I did do that.
"Stay calm, dad! That was a while ago!" Lilly interrupted Larry again as he turned to the door again and banging again, but no use.
"Oh yeah! But you didn't believe me in the beginning when I told to everyone you about this fucking human-meat and you protecting Brenda too, what is between her and you?!" I exclaimed as he look at with a dead glance.
"That's not one of your bussines!" He snapped and continued to banging the door.
I'm so angry at him after how he tried to kill Lee and Duck, how he left my dad behind with the walkers. But it's not the best time to fight him and start to look around to find way out of here.
To be continued.
A/N:
As you can see that Axel throw his father'a hand at Larry and told him to eat it so he can eat some meat from animals that Axel caught.
Formely I planned that Axel tell Larry to eat the human meat, but it scrapped.
