Reviews

Boris Yeltsin: Yeah well, we can only see the outcome of this. Not really as Eli isn't my character, created by Jadey97 who also created Mara.
Wolfgirl2013: Thanks :)
Jadey97: No, he certainly can't and well, let's see how things play out this time.

Now onto the story.

Episode 7 Part 2

Mara smiled lightly as another day was done, she was busy preparing the bed for her and Misha. She had discarded the white blouse she had been wearing, in favour of just the tank-top for her usual outfit. As she was fluffing up Misha's pillow the door opened, she looked over her shoulder and tensed as Eli entered, like her he had changed and no longer wore his jacket.

At once he spoke, gruffly. "Pack your stuff, we're leaving."

Mara was confused and slightly panicked. "What? Why? Is everything ok? Are walkers coming?"

"Shut the fuck up and start packing." Eli snapped.

Mara narrowed her eyes, aware now of what's going on and trying to think ahead of him. She realized his intentions and had to stall.

"Ok...let me go get Misha so he can grab his things..." She said quickly.

Eli interrupted her abruptly. "He's not coming with us, now grab your shit or you're leaving with nothing."

Mara was insistent. "I'm not leaving without Misha."

"Did you not hear me? Pack your fucking shit and let's go, I won't ask again." Eli growled, taking a step closer.

But Mara was done with his behaviour, no more would she let him walk all over her.

"Fuck You. You can't control me anymore."

Unseen by either of them, Misha had almost entered the room but stopped, staying hidden by the door, watching and scared of the argument.

There was an ominous silence, before Eli glowered, outraged.

"Excuse me?" He hissed, taking a menacing step closer.

Mara didn't back done. "You heard me. I'm done with you."

Eli snapped. "No, you don't get to fucking walk away from me, not after all the shit I've done for you!"

"I don't care anymore, I don't need your fucking protection." Mara snapped back. "Go, or I'll scream."

Eli roared and lunged for her and grabbed her wrist. "Maybe you didn't hear me, I said were fucking leaving."

Mara struggled. "Let go of me!"

But Eli just covered her mouth and pushed her against the wall while his free hand tried to push her jeans down. Then something unexpected happened.

"Get off her!"

It was Misha, terrified, eyes wide, running at Eli and suddenly punched the much taller man in the back as well as trying to kick him. But Eli, startled, turned and, seeing Misha reacted at once, backhanding the boy across the face. Misha cried out and fell back, hitting the floor, holding his cheek which blazed in pain.

Eli scoffed, actually amused at the fact Misha had tried to attack him. But as was typical, he folded from just one blow.

"Awww the little crybaby thinks he's a hero." Eli taunted.

Mara gasped upon seeing Misha hit and immediately hurried to his side and scooped him up, holding him close.

Eli rolled his eyes at this and took a step closer to them. He would not be denied, Mara was leaving with him and that brat wasn't coming. But Mara had other ideas. With one hand around Misha, the other went to pull the gun out from her holster behind her. Eli stopped the moment he found himself being held at gun point.

"Get out, now." She snarled.

Eli shook his head. "You're not gonna shoot me."

But Mara simply cocked the gun and even Eli couldn't deny she was serious, her hand wasn't even trembling.

"You're making a mistake, Mara."

But Mara remained firm. "No, I'm not. In fact, I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago. Get out now, and don't ever come near me or Misha ever again."

Eli glowered and spat the words. "I should have left you to fucking die, bitch."

Mara held the gun at him steadily until he finally turned around and left.

Silence followed for a while until Mara holstered her gun and breathed out a sigh relief when she hears him actually leave the farm house all together.

She instantly turned to Misha, still in her arms. "Are you ok? Let me see your cheek."

She turned Misha around and inspects the mark on his cheek, the skin was already red and would surely begin to bruise soon. She smiled softly and did her best to reassure him, giving the mark a motherly kiss.

Misha trembled, fear in his eyes, worried he'd made things worse. "I didn't want him to hurt you, I'm sorry..."

Mara shook her head and cupped his chin, looking him in the eye. "No, no, honey it's ok. That was very brave of you."

"Is he going to come back?" Misha asked, looking towards the door.

"Don't worry, he's not going to hurt us anymore, I'll make sure of it." Mara told him reassuringly. "Get some sleep, I'll watch the door."

"Actually, you both need to come down to the living room."

They both turned, eyes wide, standing in the doorway was Roman.

"It's got out of hand, none of us can deny it anymore." He stated. "We're having a group meeting, to discuss what to do with Eli, once and for all."

Mara bit her lip but nodded and, taking Misha's hand, followed Roman downstairs.
