Chapter 78: July
Axel's POV
I starring at the sky and see some clouds while bunch of corps just fly away from where they have been.
The wind's blowing.
Finally left from where I used to live when I was little.
It has been almost one year since everything of all has started.
I sighed and stop looking up to the sky. Doesn't look like everything will be back to normal now, not even this year either...
Christa's baby will come soon or later.
Me and the girls who just been chatting about something, probably girl stuff... AGAIN.
"Omid, you can't be serious." Christa objected.
She, Emily and Omid are watching at a truck stop when we were wandering in the forest and end up there.
"I am." Omid retort and start laughing little while held his rifle and to see if there's any walkers at the truck stop.
"Are you two gonna start with that again?" Emily scoffed and get up on her feet as Christa did same.
"No, Emily. We're not gonna do that." Christa laughed little. "Why not?" Omid whined up with a laugh.
I rolled my eyes. Please, don't start with this again!
"Because, they say so." I corrected with Omid who just stand up on his feet and follow with the woman.
Omid and Christa has been discussing about what name will be for the baby over almost two weeks now. It never ends.
Then brothers has finally came out of the forest and join with me and the girls.
"Have we missed something?" Tim asked.
We walked over the parking lot and then to the diner.
"They start with that again." I replied which Ben sulked little at those pair who are coming to be parents. "Will they ever stop? What the hell they think we are when they... that? Life security?" Ben complained little.
I waving up my and then shrugged shoulders. Probably, I don't know.
"What are they talking about?" Cath asked as I and the brothers caught our attention on her.
I rubbed over my neck. Shit. I wish she would never ask that.
"Eh... Something you or Clem shouldn't bother about it until you two get little older." I replied as Cath got a questionable expression on her face and Clem still looking at me and my answer with her weird look.
We heading up to the side of truck stop's diner. I see there was some trucks and many big boards has blocked openings to the main road. Some of them has fall down to the ground not so long time ago.
Wonder how was to live here? It wouldn't be easy to defend this place.
"Seems like someone has lived here, but failed to secure this place." I pointed out. "I guess so, but I doubt we will find any supplies here. Thought we can spend here a night." Benjamin suggested.
Sounds good idea. It's getting rain soon as I saw some dark clouds on the west are heading to this way, to us.
Then we're stopping right next to two door of bathrooms.
"Alright, you know what? I think I go to check out inside of this place while you two can have little 'Vegas weekend'." Emily joked little and start heading for the entrance of this building. "Hey, I told you that it was at Barstow, not in here Georgia." Omid correctly.
"I'll go with you." Tim decided to go with Emily as Ben stepped up. "Count me in."
When the tree went into the diner as Christa entered in the men's bathroom, Omid turned to the girls. "Eh, Clem? Cath? Why don't you, uh, get cleaned up in the girl's room?" Omid added as there's some muck on their faces.
Yeah, they looked dirty when they fell on mud puddle for two weeks ago and didn't found a place like this to clean up their faces.
"I hope the sink works there." Clem pleaded.
"Yeah. I'm still excited to have a lot of water over my face. Man, almost forgot how it feels before back to the shore." Cath agree.
I sighed. I don't think the water system isn't working anymore.
"Nah, I wouldn't count on that." I says as the girls sighed. Obs! Gotta cheer them up. "But at least you two got a real place to get cleaned up with your faces, right Omid?"
Omid nodded as he agreed with my statement.
"Me and Christa will be with you two in right next door." Omid said and the girls nodded. "Okay." Clem respond.
"I'll go check around of this area and clear out that there's no to worry about." I stated and held my crossbow.
"Good idea, Dixon." Omid supports my statement.
"Come on, Clem." Cath opened the door and they entered into the bathroom as Omid did the same thing to the another where Christa's there.
I turned around and then saw three walkers came out of the forest.
I sighed. Every time, they never give us a break once we found a place...
The walkers are limping forward me as I walked over parking lot, straight to them. I aiming one of them and shoot it. Then I make rush to another and stick through the head with my hidden blade. The last one are right behind me, but I already make a slide and kick right at torso which it lost its balance and fell on the ground. Then I heading for the bolt that's still stuck in the head of the first one while I hear the last walker growling and getting up on his feet.
I smirked sarcastic over that walker. You got sure time to get me, but I don't think so...
I grabbed the bolt from the head. Once the walker has stand up again, I take another bolt and loading crossbow with it.
In at the time, the walker start limping forward me as I start aim at it. I squeezed the trigger with my finger and then pull it on. The bolt hit right into the eye of walker as it collapsed down.
But then I heard a crack from behind which I turned around and saw the door of the bathroom where the girls are just moved little, but couldn't point out who just came in. Who was it or was it just the wind?
Before I could react, I see Omid came out his bathroom without Christa.
Well there he is... wait?
I see Omid stepped into the girl's bathroom carefully without waiting for Christa and it seems he didn't saw me as I'm little pretty far away from the bathrooms now. What's he doing in there?
I take a look around of this area-
BANG!
WHAT THE FUCK?!
A gunshot rang out from... THE GIRL'S BATHROOM?!
Shit! Shit! I gotta check out!
I make a rush towards the bathroom as Christa came out at last from her bathroom and looked worried now.
"What the hell happened?! Where's Omid?!" Christa exclaimed as Emily came out the corner of the diner and looked worry too. "What's going on? Where's the girls?!"
Something in there!
I bushed out to open the door hard while I still held the crossbow and enter in the bathroom...
My eyes widened in shock. I found Omid is laying on the ground and see some blood spreading out from him...
OMID!
I dropped my mouth as Emily has her hands over the mouth and looked horrified... "No... no..." Emily gasped.
Then Christa came right next to me and starring at her boyfriend who didn't make a move and his eyes is closed...
She looks horrified and brokenhearted too.
But... how could this...
"I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to!"
Who...?!
A stranger voice shouted out as I turned my eyes to the left and found a African teenager girl who looked pretty shock and panic as well. Her outfit looks like Christa's, but hooded jacket and have white shirt under it.
Right almost behind of her, I see the girls just looked shock and horrified over whatever happened to Omid as Clementine whimper out. They looked alright... well... most of...
Then I noticed that the teenager holding a familiar gun... It's Clem's! Was she going to shoot them and take all what they have?!
I held my crossbow so tightly. My blood's boiling now as I start raised up my crossbow to aim at her.
"Wait!" Teenager girl has just dropped the gun and surrender now, but it didn't change in my mind and still aiming at that bitch!
"You were going to kill them!" I bellowed.
"No, please! I didn't really mean-" But another gunshot rang up and the teenager girl got the bullet in her stomach which she gasped out and stumbled back against the wall.
I wide my eyes in surprised as I look to the opposite direction and saw it was Christa who shot that teenager to avenge her boyfriend's death. I look at her eyes and they still looked horrified and sadly, but I can feel she's out of range at that teenager.
The teenager girl clutched her wound, but she slowly sitting down on the floor and then stop moving.
She's dead.
I feel so unsympathetic of that teenager.
After some seconds, Emily entered in the bathroom as Christa bends down and have Omid over her lab.
Emily join with them and grab Omid's hand to check on his pulse. After a moment, I see Emily looked sadly and gloomy too.
"I'm sorry, Christa..." Emily says as her voice sounds sounds sad.
I lower my head down and then sighed. No...
"No... No... Omid... Please... No..." Christa start sobbing over Omid's body and then, she starring at the gun on the floor before at Clem and Cath.
Oh no... I hope that wouldn't lead a blame on them later...
I paced over my scars on the forehead to remind that day I got it. Lilly. How I, Lee and Kenny have to kill Larry when he was going to come back as walker in the meat locker. And then, Lilly has become unhinged and try to kill Carley to blame for stealing supplies. I saved her and almost got me killed, but instead the bullet touched me at the side of it before hit into Travis's head.
All what Christa has left is her baby now. I hope everything will be alright.
