Chapter 28
Axel's POV
I sneak to back of the house and then I saw one of windows is open. Yes, what a... lucky day if I have say to myself. I stand right front of the window and then opened completely so I can climb and fit through. I climb up the window so quiet and careful so Brenda or Andy can't hear me.
In the house
I put my feet on the floor and look around than I am in the kitchen, but no sign of Katjaa or Duck or Emily or the St Johns bastards too. Where the hell are they, St junkies?!
Then I heard someone sighed and sounds like that someone is hurt. It come from a door in another room, to the right from kitchen. It was a living room and the sound came from the door which probably led a toilet or wardrobe. After when I approached, I place my ear on the door to listen the voice. It sounds like a woman's voice as I raise my arm and show the hidden blade in case if Andy or Brenda is in there.
Alright, here goes nothing, I open quickly and then I heard Brenda's voice. "Andy? Danny, is that you? What's going on out there?"
I look behind me and there was no one there. Probably it was Lee that Brenda saw him. Better hurry up before-
"Axel..." Then I heard that familiar voice which it came from the wardrobe as I didn't took a look completely when I heard Brenda.
I turned to the wardrobe again and look down: It was Emily who just sitting on the floor and look frightened, but she getting be happy when I am here now.
"Emily, are you okay?" I asked and bend down to check her closer.
"I'm... fine. But Andy took Duck and Katjaa... Brenda was going to stab me, but interrupted by a sound from the outside and..." Emily explained as she show her left arm was going being cut off, but St Johns didn't got so deeply to the humeri as I took a look at it.
That fucking bitch. I swear she will... I shook away my rage and hate so I can focus on her arm. "She didn't manage to cut so deeply, but it might will be infected if you don't get any antibiotic." I said and looked done.
I pick my red band from my pocket and roll over Emily's arm. "Ouch!" Emily gasped in pain.
"Sorry. I'm not expert for this, but this is what a hunter doing when he got hurt." I explained and tied the band done.
"Thanks, it feels better now." Emily said and start to raise up slowly. Then she look around behind and got a worry expression on her face. "Where's Cath? Is she alright?"
"She's with Clementine, with Lilly actually. They're... fine, I guess." I said with a doubtful look.
"What do you mean by that?" Emily said worry and have skeptical look.
Maybe I shouldn't tell her about Larry and murder of Danny yet, I don't want to get Emily worry about her sister when she's with Lilly. For me actually, Lilly will be a hazard, but there's nothing to compare her to the St Johns.
"Eh, nothing, They're fine for now. Come one, we have to go." I said as Emily have a hesitant expression on her face, but she follow with me.
We walk back to the kitchen and then I saw a blue can on the kitchen table. "Well, well, what do we have here." I said with a happy tone.
That can was caviar. Man, I love caviar as I grab that can as Emily snail her eyes. "Have you ever stop eating those?" Emily asked.
"Geez, you sounds like Megan when she complained about my breath after I eaten cav-"
"Lee!" I heard someone screamed as I put the can in my pocket and bend down to hide as Emily did same.
"Get back! Don't come in here! You just had to go snooping around, didn't you?!" That voice must be Brenda and it sounds like she have Katjaa as a hostage
"It was Katjaa, we got to help her." Emily whisper to me as I nodded.
We sneaking slowly to the room where there we come in to the "dinner". Then I see my crossbow and my gold pistol too is on the floor as I grabbed them.
"Finally, I've got 'em back." I said and continue to sneak while we heard more voices and one of them sounds like Lee.
"Let her go, Brenda!" Lee said.
Then we heard a door opened, probably it was Lee who got in here now.
"Lee, please, don't you take another step!" Brenda exclaimed.
"Brenda, come on now, you know you don't wanna do this." Lee shot back.
"Just go away and leave us be!" Brenda said.
Then it was quiet as we heading to the hall and then we saw Lee who just walk slowly and look little despair, but glare at someone or something. He didn't notice us as he's busy now and focus on something important.
"What the hell is he doing?" Emily asked.
"I think Brenda must have Katjaa as hostage and threaten Lee to do not-" But I cut off by Brenda who yelling now.
"Stop right there, I mean it!" Brenda yelled as I leaned out to see.
I see Brenda stand on the stairs and holding Katjaa around her throat while aiming at Lee with her gun. Shit, come on Lee. Do something before I do. I see Lee looking at the photo of Brenda and her husband in a second. Then Lee looking at Brenda again.
"Think about your husband. Would he have wanted his dairy farm to be turned into a… a slaughterhouse?" Lee trying to convince her as Brenda shakes her head and aiming at Katjaa with her gun.
"I'll kill her, Lee!" Brenda exclaimed with a despair look and take steps back on the stairs with Katjaa.
"Don't do this!" Katjaa pleaded.
Shit, she's going to shoot her, it's now or her, Lee.
He start to approached to them again. When he almost close to the stairs, Brenda aiming at Lee again. "Stay back! Don't do anything stupid!" Brenda threaten.
"Wh-what happened, Brenda? Your family was obviously smart. H-How did it come to this?" Lee said and refereed about the brothers's diploma from the school.
Brenda didn't answer back and took a couple back steps with Katjaa.
"Just stop!" Brenda wailed.
"Brenda, please…" Katjaa pleaded again, but Brenda just ignored her and Lee start again to approached her. Then I've enough just sitting here and stand up.
"Axel. What're you-" Emily tried to talk with me, but ignored her and shows up for Brenda as she get surprised and aiming at me.
"Stay there, don't take another step!" Brenda exclaimed.
I have to get up something like she need to be convince, maybe I try this. "This dairy was your family's pride, Brenda. Look around now, do you really can doing better than before it was?" I said with a calm tone while still keep glare at her.
"Stop! I mean it!" Brenda said and aiming with her gun at Katjaa again.
She knew that I have right about it, but it seems like she refuse to admit it. As Lee took some steps again and Brenda moves up with Katjaa, but suddenly...
"Uahh! AAAAAHHH!" Brenda yelled in pain as I looking little closer to see what's going on.
Holy shit, it was Mark who came back as a walker and bite Brenda on her neck on the top of the stairs which he save Katjaa who finally escape from the woman's grasp.
"Katjaa, you okay?" I asked when she came at the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm... I'm fine. But they took Duck! Where's Kenny?" Katjaa asked.
"I don't know. We couldn't find Duck or that bastard Andy either." I said as then we heard yelling from outside of the house.
"I said don't move, asshole!" It sounds like Andy who yelling to someone, which mean it could be... "Don't you fucking hurt him!" It's Kenny's voice.
"It's Kenny, I think he found them." Emily said as Katjaa getting worry now and start to run out of the house.
Lee and Emily follow after her. I stay behind and look at Mark who still crawling around on the top of the stairs. I give him a sympathetic glance and sighed out.
I'm sorry that I couldn't save you earlier, Mark. But now I know that you have poetic justice feeling to that bitch. Good buy, soldier.
I run after the other and see what's going on the outside.
