Chapter 69: Penalty

Axel's POV

I gritted my teeth in anger and glaring at the guy who I beating him down.

AAARRGHH!

I still held that fucking mad scientist against the car and beating him down so really hard and painful for himself.

My left fist is little covered by the blood as Vernon's face got a lot of bruises.

I stop hitting him and stare at him so angry and hateful about what he did to Cath, stealing our stuff and attempt leaving us behind as the rest of us was locked in that shed. They could have STARVED OUT if we didn't come back to the house from the hospital and HE KNEW IT!

"DID CRAWFORD DRUGGED THE KIDS TOO IF OR WHEN EITHER THEY REFUSED TO LEAVE?!" I bellowed and continue to beating his face before he could answer back.

He grunts out in pain as some other start yelling at me to stop, but I ignored them and keep beating his face.

Then I heard a little crack sound from his nose which I broke it.

"WHERE YOU REALLY ATTEMPTED TO KILL US LIKE LEAVING US BEHIND IN A LOCKED SHED WITH NO FOOD?!" I bellowed again and keep beating him.

After several seconds later, I pinned Vernon down on the ground as his face looks swollen out and the eyes are not open which the blood almost covered over his face. Vernon try take some breaths, but I took a deep breath and that was enough for me to take a break before continue beat him again.

I punching at his face again while some of his friends screaming out to me.

"STOP! You killing him!" The older woman yelled out, but I just ignored her.

"Leave him alone!" The middle-old African-American man exclaimed that Benjamin still have his gunpoint at that guy.

I give punch at his face so hard, one more, one more, and one more.

I make sure he will feel so painful in the suffering...

Until then, I stop hitting him and huffing out while stare at Vernon who still laying on the ground so badly. He's still breathing, but weak and slow, and his face is almost mangled.

I have beaten him so hard and so bad.

That make me feel better now...

I've take some breaths and wave my hands around little in the air, front of my stomach.

Then I look at the brothers Rugby who looks shock and surprised about my actions on Vernon while his friends looked terrified and angry too, but I just ignored their gazes.

Vernon moaned out something, but I don't care when I grip his grey jacket to lift him up, face to face.

"You! YOU don't ever take her or any children from anyone or you won't take anyone again." I snarl right at his face as I lay him down on the ground and start to get up.

I start walking to the brothers, passed through the old man and the old woman and ignoring her glare.

"Is Cath alright?" I ask with a calm tone in my voice as Benjamin looks little disappointed at me for not killing Vernon, but truth is for me that I'm sure he won't make it out of this damn city when he's in that shape now.

Before when Tim was going as he open his mouth, Benjamin start held up the rifle and it seems like he aiming at me?!

What the-

BANG!

He fired the rifle, but I look around of me and find out that he didn't shot at me. I turned around and saw Vernon just standing right behind of me. He got bullet in his head and the blood splattered out from the hole!

Then he collapsed down and is dead.

I see he has a gun in his hand which I widened my eyes.

Was he going to shoot me?!

And Benjamin saved my life?

"Vernon!" The older woman exclaimed in horror to see her friend just died. Then she glaring at me and then at Benjamin. "You fucking monster! You just shot him!"

Benjamin did just sent a glance towards her as Tim was shock over his twin-brother's actions. But then, he sighed and understands that Vernon would have kill me if Benjamin didn't stepped up.

Then Tim jumped on the boat to check on Cath while I grab the middle-age man and he was trying shrugged off my grips, but it wasn't enough for me so I shoved him away to the other old people.

I pulled out my Desert Eagle and held the gunpoint on them.

The middle-age man turned to us and glare at me. "So what are you gonna do now? Are you going to kill us too?" The man inquired.

Wish I would do right now, but all I want to hurt somebody is Vernon and the guy on the radio, and both of them are dead.

"No." I reply. "But I'm not going to save any of you either. This boat... My friend who worked on that thing is dead. But at least he tried to fought back against monsters so valiant. See if you three can do it too." I pointed at the way to the city as they look at what I meant.

So many of walkers are attracted by the gunshot of rifle and heading for us.

The old people looks frightened by seeing so many of them as Tim and Benjamin carry an unconscious Cath from the boat and went back to their car.

Then I came up something in my head.

Wait? Where's Emily and the others?

"Didn't Emily and the rest arrived here before I showed up?" I ask while still keeping my eyes on the old people.

The brothers open the door and brought Cath in the car again. Then Tim came out the car and answer, "No, I'm sorry. We have waited for them a little while before..." But he trailed off.

Damn it. Where are they?

I still holding the gun at the old people.

"We have to get out of here, now." Benjamin says as I shook my head. "No, we have to wait for them." I objected.

"I'm sorry, dude. I wanna wait too, but those geeks are heading for us now and they will be top on us if we don't get out of here now." Benjamin says.

"I don't like this either, Axel. But I agree with him this time, we won't be able to get out of here with even a car." Tim agrees. "Think about Cath, after she has been through, you wanna put her life at the risk?"

After what he just said, I getting confused now, but I still keep the aim at Vernon's friends.

I sighed. He's right. I can't put Cath at this risk and I think that's Emily and Lee too want to, but Cath won't be happy about it later.

I lower my gun down and look at old people. "You better get out here before it's too late." I says as that middle age man glare at me. "Fine, because we'll take the boat." The middle man snap as I aim at him again.

"You don't that thing. Didn't I told you about the boat?" I snarl at him.

He and the others widened their eyes in horror by my statement about they'll try to get out of the city on their foot.

"You are a psycho! You leaving us with nothing!" The older woman exclaimed and glare at me and the brothers.

"You guys brought this onto on yourself! Considering for what just happened between us, you should being grateful to be alive and no locked up in a goddamn shed." Benjamin snap back.

"All what we did was just necessary, but still good things for the girl." The middle man retorts with a scowl.

"You wanna know about a thing what I believe?" I say with a threat look. "The thing is that sometimes good things can be bad things later, but the roles can still be switched, you fucker. And I am afraid that your own roles will not switch unless if you guys will make it out of the city."

I start take some steps back to the car while keep my gun at the old people.

Then the old moral man grab the man who still glare on his shoulder. "Come, Clive. We have to go."

"No... Not after what they did to Vernon and then screwing us." The man, Clive, snapped and looked angry at me. "Everything started when Vernon took vehicles and drugged that poor little girl. That is something like Crawford had never done that before. Vernon is gone and kill them will never get them back." The old man reason with Clive who just sighed and groaned out.

The three of them start rushing away to the way where I came from.

Finally that this conflict is over...

I put my gun on me and get in the car when Benjamin are sitting on the driver's seat and start the engine.

"You know how you drive a car?" I ask and close the door after before take a seat.

"My father had already teach us to drive a car, so little yeah." Benjamin replied and got the engine running on.

Little?! Oh great.

I roll my eyes and take a look at Cath who sleeping on the roar seat and still are unconscious, but breathing pretty well.

The anger filled me from inside when I saw the mark from the drug nail on her throat.

I can't really believe it why Vernon would do such like that...

Then I shook of those thoughts from my head and take a deep breath as the car start to move and swung around. We have passed through so many of walkers as they're no able to grab anything of the car because we're too fast and no edges of this vehicle except the handles and back mirrors.

And leaving Vernon's corpse along with the boat behind.

My hands are still covered by blood of Vernon after I beat him down. There was some bruises on my hands too because I beat him so really hard.

I sighed. What have I done...? Why do I have to do that again after Amanda?!

"Here, I... think you need this." Tim says as I look at him and saw he give me a blanket and a roll of bandage.

Just what I need.

"Thanks, dude." I accepted the blanket and the bandage.

I start clean the blood on my hands.

Ugh, that hurts... I couldn't really control myself back there.

When I was done, I roll the bandage around my hands and bruises.

Then I hear someone yawns and it wasn't Benjamin or Tim.

My eyes widened.

Cath!

I look behind and saw Cath's moving now while open her eyes.

"What... what happened? Dix? Is that you?" Cath moaned as I smile at her that she's okay.

"Slow down there, Cath. Don't worry, everything is okay for now." I explain. "You're still drugged. You'll be fine little later, I think."

Cath just looking at me so hesitant, but she just stop moving and take a breath.

"Where's Clem? And Emily? Lee? Where is everyone?" Cath asks as I close my eyes and sink my head down.

Dammit... I don't wanna talk about it to her right now in the middle of this disaster!

I open my eyes again.

"They're... huh, alright. We found Clementine and she's alright too. But she's not with us. She's with Lee. So don't worry about her. And Emily is with the others and we will meet them at a place where we heading to right now." I ensure Cath as she looked less worry and more calm.

I looking at the outside through the windows.

Please be alright, you guys.

Emily's POV

We have been running in the alleyway almost over ten minutes, luckily for us that it wasn't so much of walkers here.

"Over there!" Molly shouts and leading us to a street.

We six ended on a street, and then I see the water which means we're on the river street.

I look around to find the car as Omid spoke out, "Hey, there is the boat."

The boat?!

We find the boat on the left of the street, but no car or somebody there. Where's the car? And why is the boat left behind like that?!

"Cath!" I start running onto the boat as the others start yelling at me. "Em, wait!" Doug shouted, but I keep going for the boat.

"Come back here, girl! We don't know what-" Molly yelled, but cut off when several walkers came out from the corner of building when I was right close to the boat and then they attack me!

Oh my god!

Some of them have already grabbed me, but I trying to struggle off them from me!

I saw so many of walkers on the street in the city are heading for me.

Damn! They're too many!

"I coming, Emily!" Doug yelled as he running forward me and the walkers.

Carley pulled out her gun and start firing at some walkers before they could get me close.

Doug grabs my hand and trying to yank me off from walkers, but three of 'em trying to gets their teeth on me. I quickly pulled out a knife from my pocket that Ben give me and use it stab one of them.

Some more walkers approach Doug and grabbed his arms.

"Doug!" I yelled in horror.

"Hang on!" Molly exclaimed and stab two of walkers so fast like bullet in the speed.

Omid and Christa make a rush for me and Doug, and they grabs our hands to try pull us away from walkers while Carley firing with her gun at walkers and Molly fighting against them with her hook!

"I got you! I got you!" Omid repeat.

"Try to stab some of them to get yourself free!" Christa exclaimed.

Shit! This is getting terribly!

I see a walker came out from the alleyway and limping for Carley!

No! Carley!

"Carley! Behind you!" I yelled out as Carley turned around and got surprise by the walker. Carley manage to take some back steps from it, but she getting closer to us and the walkers.

"Em..." I heard Doug moans quickly something as he still try to struggle away from walkers's grips.

What?

Then Molly almost got surrounded in middle of walkers, but Carley keeps firing at them to try make a opening for the tough survivor. But the reporter herself got surrounded too.

I looking at Doug while Christa and Omid still trying pull us from walkers, he looks little sad about something.

What's wrong with him?

"Go. Save yourself. I'll found you." Doug said lowly as I widened my eyes.

"What?!" I exclaimed.

Suddenly, Doug stab one of walkers as I feels they loosing their grip on me.

DOUG!

Then Omid has finally got me out of there, but Christa still tried to pull Doug from the walkers, but so many of them are too strong for her and Doug!

"Doug!" I scream and make a rush to him, but Christa lost her grip on Doug as the walker yank him away from us! NOOO!

I hear more of Carley's gunshots rang out and some of walkers got bullets in their head as Doug get up on his feet quickly, but still walkers has surrounded him, Carley and Molly too!

"Holy FUCK!" Omid exclaimed in horror.

"Oh my god! Get out of there, guys!" Christa shouts out.

Not him too!

Doug! Carley! Molly!

I'm trying to get them, but so many walkers has kind of circulate around them and can't see them from here anymore. But I still hear Carley's gunshots rang out and it seems they are behind of them boat

"Get out of here, Emily! Save you your-... ugh, aaahh!" I hear Doug's voice screaming out as I look at the walkers in the horror and shock.

No! Don't tell me he is...!

After several seconds, I see some of walkers raise up their arms up... and saw they holding pieces of a human like legs and arms...!

No, no, no... NO!

"NOOO!" I screamed out and have some tears in my eyes.

Why... how can this be?!

Then Christa and Omid grab on my shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Emily, but we gotta go now before they can get us too!" Christa begged as I still starring at the herd who got my Doug... Carley and Molly too...

"Emily, I'm really sorry too. But we have to go now. Think about Cath. The boat is still here and no sing of Vernon's group or the car either, what if Cath has manage to escape from them and out here somewhere." Omid ensure as I stop cry and clean the tears from my eyes, but still feels so sad.

They... maybe have right there, Cath is probably out here somewhere. Maybe Axel and the brothers saved her and then probably took the car too.

"Let's go and never look back too..." I sighed sadly as we three get out of the river street and heading back into the alleyway.

He sacrifice himself to save me...

Thank you, Doug. I'll never forget you.
