Episode 4 Part 1
Mara looked around fearfully, knife held at the ready. The woods around her were just too quiet, something wasn't right. Walking forward carefully, cringing at the sound of the grass crunching under her feet, she tried to peer through the dull fog that had gathered. Then she saw it up ahead, a shape, a human shape. But was it. She edged closer and her heart leapt, she recognized them now, there was no mistake, it was Misha.
"Misha baby, thank God, I...I've found-" She burst out, only to stop in horror.
Horror and dismay filled every fibre of her being as Misha turned to her, groaning and rasping, his skin was decayed, his eyes vacant, the moment he saw her he approached, with a distinct shambling gait. He was a Walker.
"No...No..." Mara choked out.
Then, in moments, he was upon her and then-
-She woke up with a start. She was lying in one of the tents that had been set up for them in the spot Anton had suggested, Eli's arm possessively around her waist.
'A nightmare, it was just a nightmare...oh please let it be just a nightmare.' She thought desperately.
Still haunted by the sight in her mind, Mara couldn't sleep again and had to lay their until Eli woke up, replaying that horror again and again in her head.
Faced with a new day, Eli and Mara emerged from their tents, neither was fully dressed yet. But they hurried over to the others as they spotted them, once more pouring over the maps. As they approached Niko turned to them.
"We need to organize things again, some of us..." He looked pointedly at Roman. "Are insisting on going back out, while others realize the need to rotate our roles. So some of those who went out yesterday will be staying on the farm, others will be going out to search for Misha."
Mara reacted at once. "I stayed behind last time, I have to go."
"Mara-" Eli began to warn her.
"I have to. He's out there, all alone, I'm so worried about him, please, I need to go and try and help him." She insisted desperately.
It was clear she wasn't the only one worried about Misha. But for all their fears, nobody else could help but note that Mara was more scared for the poor boy than any of them.
Eli glowered. "Alright, fine, you do that...Niko, I know what you're gonna say, but no. I'll stay here and keep an eye on things again. Between the two of us I know how to use a gun and if it comes to Walkers attacking this place, better to take them out at range, since there's no cover."
Niko sighed but nodded; Eli did have a point. They began to discuss things some more and finally a decision was made. Katia and Marko would remain on the farm with Eli, Anton and the kids. Meanwhile everybody else would head out to search.
Getting ready to head out to help look for Misha, Mara had found a secluded area behind the trees near their tents and began changing into her usual clothes. Having watched her walk away, eyes glinting, Eli showed up, having followed her, smirking as he observed her then came up behind her and started kissing her neck, making her gasp, then shudder as he began touching her sensually.
"Please, I'm not in the mood." Mara protested.
Eli scoffed. "Oh come on, it's been awhile, and we're finally all alone, it's perfect."
"I said no."
But Eli wasn't listening, he was too busy trying to take off the clothes she's putting on
Mara tried again. "I don't have time for this, I'm going out to look for Misha."
"You can spare ten minutes. That crybaby is probably dead anyway so it doesn't even matter." Eli replied callously.
"That's a horrible thing to say, he's not dead." Mara choked out in horror, remembering her nightmare. "He's out there all alone and afraid and all you can think about is sex."
Eli glowered at her and shook his head. "All you care about is that brat, you can't even look at me anymore. The one who saved you, your boyfriend, the one you're supposed to love."
Mara bit her lip but said nothing as this was true. Ever since Misha disappeared, she'd practically ignored Eli; but then, how could he be surprised, after what he did to her.
"I don't know why you care so much anyway, he's not even your son." Eli spat.
Mara froze at that, before being gripped by rage. She reared around to slap him without thinking and then realized her mistake. Eli however easily blocked her attempt, before grabbing her by the throat.
"If you ever do that again, I'll break your pretty little hand, do you understand?" He growled viciously, getting her face.
Mara gasped and choked, trying to breathe.
Eli wasn't down however. "Now listen to me, when you get back from searching for that dead little crybaby, you're gonna get into bed and open your legs. If you don't, I'll break them and you won't get to look for the little brat anymore, got me?"
Mara nodded meekly, still trying to breathe. Eli paused for good measure then let her go, storming off without a word. Mara gulped down air, trying to compose herself, then she looked up and froze, for standing there, staring at her, was Roman.
End of chapter, things continue to heat up, read and review please.
