Axel: "About our plan? What if there is no boat? We need to think about the plan B before we found out that the coast is empty."
Lee: "I don't know, but we probably gonna need medicine for Doug and Omid. We don't know how bad is it in the city, but that's the only our spot and that's another reason why we heading to Savannah."
Stranger: "Can't wait until you get here to Savannah, Clementine. I've got your parents right here, and you be sure to find me whether Lee wants you to or not. Now, what I need-"
Lee: "Who the fuck?"
Kenny: "I don't know. But I doubt we're going to be happy when we find out."
Axel: "I don't like this, guys. We should start get into the city in the morning, tomorrow. It's risky go out in the middle of night when we have a goddamn stalker."
Chapter 45: Welcome to Savannah
Axel's POV
On the street
It is early in the morning and we left the train for thirty minutes. We walking on the street of Savannah and there was no walkers. Kenny leading us to the river and I noticed Doug and Omid are not fine, especially Omid who limping after us. Emily has rolled the bandage around Doug's wounded arm as she did same to Omid's wounded leg. Except them and Clementine, we all holding our weapons in case if walkers shows up, but me, Lee and Kenny wasn't worried about just them but that guy in the radio too.
I looking around and behind us too if that guy trying to follow us.
Then I noticed something weird around on this street; I saw all of cars have missing all wheels, all car-doors and even solenoid too. What the hell happen with those car-parts? What's going on this city?
"Cath?" I called to Cath walking next to me.
"Yeah?" Cath replied.
"Stay close to me and Emily. I got some bad felling about these cars." I said and glanced at cars.
"Is there something wrong with them?" Cath asked.
"Well, do you see they don't have wheels and doors anymore?" I explained.
As Cath looking little closer at some cars. "No, you don't assume that walkers could have taken them?" Cath said and look carefully to be on guard.
"No, I don't." I said.
"Can't I just hold it?" I heard Clementine talking with Lee as I looking over my at them.
I see Clementine looks worry and eager about her radio where Lee have it secured to his waistband. Lee frowns at her and don't wanna ask her why would she need it, for real. Clementine didn't know Lee, Kenny and I found out that radio isn't broken.
We continue walking over the street. "Just for a little while? We're getting close to where my mom and dad are. Maybe I can-" Clementine asked again, but Lee cut off her. "Not now, Clementine. Maybe little later, okay?" Lee said.
"Okay." Clem replied gloomy and feel little sad for not holding her radio.
Cath send a glare to Lee for not give the radio back to her friend. I sighed as Lee, Kenny and I didn't told her or anyone about the radio because we don't want to make them much worry than about our wounded friends and walkers in this city.
"How are you, Doug?" Emily asked.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. It just... feel like an elephant has step on me." Doug replied and sighed in pain of his arm. "How's Omid doing?"
"He's not fine. His leg is pretty bad." Emily said as we looking at him worry now.
"I'm fine too." Omid said with little annoying look while he struggle to walk with his wounded leg.
"You're not fine, you need to rest." Christa said with a serious look and looking over her shoulder at me and Lee. "He needs to rest."
"She's right. We need to stop now." Emily agreed as Lee and I was little hesitant to stay here right now.
"It's not safe to stop out here in unknown, Christa." I said as she and Emily looked shock by my answer. "We don't know how dangerous is out here, that would get someone hurt or worst, killed."
"Axel's right. We need to keep moving. He and Doug can rest after we find a boat and get out on the water." Lee agree.
"Lee, they're not in position to walk too long. How long will they walk like that?" Carley inquired.
"As long if they keep going like this, we will still moving to the river until if it's get something wrong with them." Lee said firmly, but it made Christa more worry about her boyfriend.
"I don't know how much longer he can keep on like this. If his leg gets any worse, we're going to have to carry him." Christa stated.
"Or leave him." Kenny snarled which we widened our eyes in shock and disbelief.
"Kenny!" Emily exclaimed with a warning tone.
"What? NO! That's not an option. We can't just-" Christa disagree, but Kenny cut off. "Lady, I've only known you for all of 12 hours - you don't get to say "we" unless, you mean just you and him." Kenny snapped.
"Kenny, come one, man. There's no need for that." Doug said, but Kenny and Christa too ignored him.
"You know, since this all started, I've seen the best come out of lot of people, and the worst come out of a lot of others. I guess we know which side you came down on." Christa criticized and sent an intense glare to Kenny, but he still walking and didn't looked at her.
I shook my head in annoying of that argument. They're gonna probably wake up some walkers around here.
"There you go again; we . There is no we . There's just-" Kenny said, but I cut off.
"Shut up! We're still gonna keep moving and we don't leave anyone behind. Plus, you'll wake up the neighborhood and that's the last thing what we need now." I hissed as Christa and Kenny stopped talking each other, but they two glaring at each other while continue walking.
Kenny is so eager now when we're so close to the river, probably because he doesn't want we get any trouble with the guy in the radio. He need to chill little up. Besides that, Christa doesn't have to babysit Omid like that. It is up to him to let us know about his wounded leg's position, not her.
But then we heard a deep and loud ring which it made us to stop walking.
"What the hell?" Ben said in shock.
It was the bell from a church where is right next to us, we looking at it and saw the bell in tower is really moving.
Goddammit! That thing will bring walkers to us. But it's ringing when we came closer to it. I wonder...
"Maybe this city's not so dead after all." Christa guessed and have an intense expression.
I guess she has right there. Maybe we're heading to a trap.
Kenny turned around and have a serious look. "Keep moving. Nobody's ringing that bell. It's automatic; on a timer." Kenny said firmly as I take a look again at the church.
That church doesn't look to have any electricity. I saw Lee looking at his watch and say, "What kind of church bell goes off at twenty past the hour?"
As some of us narrows our eyes while others looked little nervous now.
"I don't know about you guys, but it seems like something or somebody watching us now." Cath said and getting be on guard as she looked around.
Then I looked at the tower, but this time I saw someone jumped down off the roof.
"Someone's up there!" Lee exclaimed in shock and it seems like he saw what I saw.
"Are you sure? I don't see anything." Ben said and looked at the church as everyone did same, but it was too late for them to see the person.
"Yeah, I saw too. He telling you, there's somebody up in that bell tower; someone alive!" Axel exclaimed.
Suddenly, we heard the radio start talking, "If I were you, I'd get out of the street. Now."
Lee grabbed the radio and holding it right forward his face as everyone except me and Kenny was shocked to hear that thing is working.
"I thought you said that didn't work?!" Christa hissed as I give her a glare for yelling at Lee.
"Christa! Calm the fuck down! You don't have to assume already that we lied to you about the radio." I shot back and Christa shook her head with her annoying look as I look at Lee and the radio. "Lee, what did he say?"
Lee didn't answer back instead he holds the button and responds to the radio. "Who the hell is this?" Lee exclaimed with an anger tone in his voice, but the guy in the radio didn't answer and it was another static which it made Lee more irritated.
"Hello? Hello?! I said answer me, goddammit!" Lee demanded the guy to answer back, but no use.
We start looking around again and see if there is really someone hiding and watching us right now, but non of us didn't see somebody.
"What the hell was that? Is there someone who trying to fuck with us?" Omid asked.
"Seems that way." Carley said.
"I don't know, guys. It sounded more like a warning." Ben added.
I raised one of my eyebrows by their words. There's someone who stalking after us and now it sounds like he trying to warn us something, but for what?
"Ask not for whom the bell tolls..." Chuck mumbled something as we got attention by him.
"What're you yammering on about?" Kenny asked as he and we started looking at what Chuck aimed his eyes on. "It tool for thee..." Chuck completed his last words as we widened our eyes and opened our mouths in shock.
We saw a small herd of walkers were heading for us because of the bells attract their attentions.
Fuck! Now this is getting better and better...
"Everybody, RUN!" Lee exclaimed as we started run and scatter too.
I run while aimed at a walker and shot it. Then I pick the arrow from the head and continue to run. Cath was behind of me and fired with her gun at the walkers, she missed some of them but hit two walkers. Christa, Carley and Emily escort and defend Doug and Omid while Chuck attacked a walker with a shovel. Clementine was with Lee as he focus that she'll with her.
But then me and him saw Kenny was tripped by a walker on the ground, under a wreck car. He trying to reach his gun, but the walker struggle to pull him.
"Kenny!" Lee exclaimed as I aimed at the walker and shot into the head.
Kenny crawling away from it and grabbed his gun. "Little too close, don't ya think?" Kenny said to us and his look was mixed by surprised and grateful.
I grabbed the arrow from the head as Kenny stands up. Then I saw a big mansion and it's surrounded by walls of bricks.
Hmm, that house could be a good spot to hide inside.
Then I looking at women who defend our two wounded men. "Hey! We can hide inside of that house quickly before the walkers get any attentions! Over there!" I exclaimed.
"That's sounds reasonable." Emily agreed as she start escort the others to the mansion.
"Hello! We are almost to the river! We can't change our plans right now just because of the walkers!" Kenny objected.
Jesus, Kenny. It's too even risky to get through this small with a couple of wounded men.
"Speak with them!" I referred about another small herd were is on the way to the river."
Kenny looking at that small herd as he shook his head. "God dammit!"
"BEN!" Me and Lee heard Clementine screamed as we saw she, Cath and Ben are surrounded between the walkers and brick walls.
Cath firing with her at the walkers, only three of them she got but her bullets are empty now.
"Shit!" Cath exclaimed and grabbed her pocket knife to defend her friends.
"No! Ben, help them!" Lee demanded Ben to help the girls.
But Ben looks panic by his fear of the walkers. Come on, kid. Help them! Just... WHAT THE?
Ben just run away from the horrified situation and leaving Clem and Cath behind as I look at him in shock and then my blood getting boil now for leaving two little girls behind with the walkers.
"GODDAMMIT, KID!" I exclaimed as Lee and aimed with our guns at the walkers were heading for the girls and shooting at them while Cath stick a walker through the skull with her pocket knife.
Not bad, but she ain't fast yet to deal with the others.
When we almost got all of 'em, a walker were closely to Clem as she gasped.
"NOOO!" Lee yelled in horror.
But suddenly, Chuck come out from nowhere and attacking the walker with his shovel from hurting Clem as Lee hugged her. He spiked on the walker with his shovel then.
"Get her the hell out of here! I'll catch up with y'all!" Chuck exclaimed as Lee nodded and he run away with Clem and Cath.
"Are you two okay?" I asked worriedly.
"We're fine." Cath replied as we saw Kenny and Ben running to the mansion.
I glared at Ben with my anger look. How the fuck could he just left a couple of two little girls behind with monsters? I swear he will regret it.
"Wait, where is Chuck?" Cath asked as we looked behind of us and saw Chuck are fighting against the rest of walkers were heading for him. "Shit! He's in trouble, we gotta help him." Cath said.
I wasn't sure if we can help him from here while there's some walkers were they are right forward of us and heading for us. By the way, Chuck has under control for now, I think...
"I'll be fine! Just go!" Chuck exclaimed and ensured us as we start running to the gate of the mansion.
While we running, I growling in my thoughts. Damn it! First the radio, a bell tower, separate from one of us and a stupid teenager left little girls behind with walkers!
I hope things getting better now.
To be continued.
