"Shit! Get down!" Said Yang.
Blake, Yang, and Nora all dove behind a fallen tree, while Ren moved behind one that was still standing.
"Did he see us?" Questioned Blake.
"Listen." Replied Yang. The four of them stayed motionless for a few seconds. "I don't think they know we're here, but we need to get moving. Ren, try to take out the sniper first and...cover us."
Ren nodded.
The girls started moving through the trees towards the back of the gas station. Yang kept her eyes on the man who pointed at them. It didn't seem like anyone was too concerned with Elliot's whereabouts.
They made their way to the rear of the gas station without any problems. There was an old outdoor freezer next to the building.
"Blake, l think you can get onto the roof if I boost you up." Said Yang.
"Right." She replied.
As Yang helped Blake onto the roof she couldn't help stealing a glance at her butt.
Just as Blake reached the top a shot rang out. The men all started yelling and going towards Ren firing randomly into the woods.
"All of this noise is going to draw walkers. We need to get moving." Said Nora.
Yang nodded. The two of them hurried around the side of the building. There were four men standing in a line shooting towards the woods. Two muffled shots came from above them and two of the men dropped. The remaining two turned around, their backs to the woods. Two more shots rang out, from the woods this time. Blood spatter from the first man's head covered the ground in front of him, the second man dropped gurgling as a bullet went through his neck.
Nora, in her excitement, said "Four left!"
Yang looked back at Nora and noticed there were windows behind them, luckily they were plastered with adds so it was hard to see anything through them. At that moment Yang would have bought a lottery ticket if they were still worth anything because she happened to see movement through those windows. She raised her shotgun and fired both barrels at the same time. Glass shards went everywhere as the plate glass fell inward. A man on the inside screamed, he was lying behind the counter shards of glass and buckshot buried in his chest.
Yang noticed two men deeper in the store, she dove to the right around the corner while Nora jumped through the newly opened window and took cover behind the counter. Yang heard shots from inside the store, she reloaded her gun. Then she heard the worst scream of all, Blake's. Yang looked up, Blake fell from the roof landing legs first, then rolled onto her back.
"BLAKE!" She yelled.
Yang got up and ran through the front door. She didn't know if the men would notice her, but she hoped she would get the jump on them. She saw a look of horror in the first man's eyes, he was trying to reload when Yang raised her gun and fired. Yang dove down one of the isles. She later figured Nora saw an opportunity because she ran up and brought her sledgehammer down on the man's head killing him instantly.
One last shot.
Yang looked outside, and saw Ren running towards Blake. She ran outside to join him.
"Is she alive?" asked Yang.
"Yes, she is unconscious. We need to patch up this wound, or she will bleed out." Ren replied. "She's lucky, the bullet went straight through."
Blake was bleeding from her shoulder and she had a cut on the back of her head, her left leg was definitely broken.
Yang looked through the cars the men drove and found an emergency first aid kit.
Yang asked, "How can I help?"
"Take this gauze, apply pressure to her shoulder."
Yang did as instructed.
Ren got a bandage from the kit. "Nora, lift her enough so I can wrap this around her."
After Nora lifted Blake Ren wrapped her wound as best he could.
"And that should stop the bleeding?" Asked Yang.
Ren nodded. "Come on, let's go. Nora, can you drive that?" He pointed to the Truck.
"I think so." She replied.
Yang suggested, "we can take their van, it is already loaded up and there is enough room for me to sit in the back and keep pressure on this while we drive back.
Nora went to the truck and fired it up. Ren pulled the van around and helped Yang load Blake into it.
Yang sat in the back keeping pressure on Blake's Shoulder. "The bleeding is slowing"
Ren didn't reply, he just looked back at Yang, sorrow in his eyes.
Blake only woke up once the entire ride back to camp. "Yang." Was all she said before she passed back out.
"Be careful pulling up, wouldn't want Ruby putting a bullet in your head." Said Yang.
Ren drove slowly down the road that led to the church. He rolled down the window and waved as he pulled up. Ruby must have recognized them because she didn't kill him.
Ren drove through the gate, with Nora right behind him.
Before Ren had even stopped the van Yang was jumping out, "Jaune! Go get Doctor Wolfe!"
Jaune looked confused, then ran off towards the church, a few moments later a Tall muscular man with a tribal tattoo on his left arm came outside with Jaune.
"It's Blake! She's been shot! And she has a broken leg!" Exclaimed Yang.
"Go get a stretcher!" Yelled Wolfe in a deep gravelly voice.
Jaune came back and helped Wolfe carry Blake to the makeshift infirmary within the church. .
"You need to wait out here Yang!" Barked Wolfe.
Yang did as she was told. She went back to help Nora and Ren unload the Van. Once all the heavy lifting was done she started walking to the gate to tell Ruby what happened.
"Miss Xiao Long!" Corsac yelled from the door of the church. Corsac was a fox faunus and one of Adam's trusted few. "Adam needs to speak with you, follow me."
"God dammit." said Yang as she started walking towards the church.
Yang followed Corsac through the main hall, to the back behind the stage. From there they went through a door and down a flight of stairs into the basement.
Yang had never been to this part of the church before, she was getting worried.
Corsac stopped at a door, "Go in and have a seat. Adam will be in shortly."
The room was small, there was a table in the corner and a single chair in the middle of the room. "I think I'll stand, thanks." Remarked Yang.
"We were hoping you would say that." said Fennac, Corsac's brother.
The brothers then pushed Yang backwards so quickly she couldn't react. As soon as she hit the chair, they pulled her arms behind her back. .
"What is this!" Yang yelled.
"As we already stated before...Adam, needs to speak with you." Said Corsac.
Just then Adam walked in with Doctor Wolfe.
"Is Blake okay?" Questioned Yang.
"Like you even care" Snapped Adam.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Yang was getting angry now.
"If you truly cared about her you wouldn't have let her get shot today!"
"WHAT?!"
"You put her in a situation that ended with her being shot. That's on you!"
"I don't understand! What-"
Adam cut her off. "I don't want excuses from you! You humans are all the same. You make excuses for everything you do! When my entire family was killed in cold blood by humans, all I got were excuses. They killed my youngest sister because she had horns! They called her a demon, and then they strung her up by her neck and gutted her in front of me. But only after they killed our parents. The police showed up before they could kill me, but do you know what happened to them? One year in the detention home for wayward boys, and one year probation. The government said 'they were minors' so that was the maximum sentence they could receive. Filthy pathetic human trash. That's all any of you are. And you need to be punished now that you've done something wrong…Doctor."
Doctor Wolfe opened his bag and pulled out an electric surgical saw it looked almost like a small chainsaw.. "You can still function without a hand."
Yang screamed in horror, she fought against the men holding her, managing to get one arm free, she twisted her body and punched Fennac in the face.
"You fucking bitch!" Fennac Roared. With blood streaming out of his nose he slinked back into the corner of the room.
Yang looked back at Adam just in time to feel his powerful right hook hit the side of her face.
Yang woke up, she couldn't move her arms or her legs and she was dizzy. "What...Where...?"
She remembered where she was, regaining her composure she noticed she was alone in the room. There were plastic ties holding her arms and legs to the chair. She struggled against the bonds to no avail. She looked around the room, the door was metal with a glass and wire mesh window. The walls were padded. She noticed the saw was still on the table, she tried to move the chair only to realize it was bolted to the floor.
The door opened, "good, you're awake." said Adam. "wouldn't want you to miss anything."
At that Doctor Wolfe entered the room.
"Don't worry, you won't disturb anyone with your screams, this room is completely soundproof." Said Adam
The saw had teeth that reminded Yang of a shark, long jagged serrations. The saw wined to life with the sound of a dying animal. Doctor Wolfe brought the saw down on Yang's arm. It tore through her flesh with little effort. Yang could feel the saw reach her bone, she cried out, the pain was worse than any feeling she'd ever felt. Blood sprayed everywhere off of the saw, covering Yang, Adam, and Doctor Wolfe. The look in Adam's eyes was of pure satisfaction, that is the last thing Yang remembered before she passed out.
