Season 3: Episode 19

It was the day after the raid and tensions were high, at least among those who knew about what happened, at the moment this only included those who had been part of the raid, there had been no time to issue warnings yet. As such, unaware of exactly what sort of danger was lying in wait for him, Jamie left his home, smiling lightly as he straightened his red T-shirt and dusted off his cargo pants, a pair of white socks and black sneakers finished the outfit.

'Another day...not quite the summer we imagined and now it's nearly done, but things are getting better…' He reflected. 'I just hope things calm down by the time we all get back to school…'

Shaking his head, still feeling hopeful, Jamie focused on the here and now, he was heading around to see Carl and spend some time together with his boyfriend. Heading away from his home and walking down the street he smiled warmly as he walked, his mind on his boyfriend and his hopes for their relationship, things were better than every and they couldn't be more grateful.

With a happy sigh Jamie turned the corner at the end of the street. 'Can't wait...things are hopefully gonna be fine now.'

Those were his thoughts, before he was suddenly grabbed and yanked into a waiting vehicle, a hand clamped over his mouth, before he was forced down and everything went black as a hood was pulled over his head. He tried to struggle and get free, but at least two people were holding him down and were beginning to tie him up. His fear spiked, he was being kidnapped and couldn't understand why, but there was no answer either as he was soon secured and the vehicle drove off quickly.

Also unaware of the danger, was the happy couple of Andrew and Marissa who were currently in Marissa's back garden, laying back on the grass, Andrew on his back, hands behind his head and Marissa cuddled up against him, head on his shoulder, both dressed casually. Andrew in jeans, a white T-shirt, dark blue socks and sneakers and Marissa in denim shorts, a black T-shirt and black flats.

"Oh Andrew, this is lovely...I wish this moment could last forever." Marissa said softly.

Andrew smiled and turned to catch Marissa in his gaze. "I know, so do I...but it's the way of things, Summer Vacation's nearly done, school will be back soon, Junior year…"

Marissa laughed softly. "Senior year for Beth and Brian. Still can't believe all that's happened, but I'm glad one thing has never changed."
"Oh?"

"I love you, Andrew Pierce." She said warmly.

Andrew grinned and moved so they both lay on their sides, facing each other and hugging. "I love you too, Marissa Garland."

They kissed softly, then heard the snapping of a twig that jolted them up. Two men in black were approaching them and they immediately realized the danger, especially as the men were carrying what could only be described as a kidnapping kit.

"Get them." One hissed.

The duo rushed the teens who quickly reacted, dodging them.

"Andrew, we've got to." Marissa began.

But Andrew shook his head. "C'mon."

He knew Marissa was a good fighter, but they couldn't risk it, they quickly fled until Andrew managed to get them inside and up to Marissa's parents room.

"Andrew, wait, don't-" Marissa began.

He shook his head. "It's a risk we have to take."

With that he helped her hide in her parents closet, allowing her to slip up to the attic, while slipping out to seek a hiding place himself, but ran right into the hands of the two men who swiftly got a hood over his head and had him tightly bound and dragged out to a waiting vehicle. They searched the house, not actually thinking to check the attic as they didn't see it. Angered that Marissa had escaped them they nevertheless took Andrew and left.

Beth smiled as she dropped her towel, having finished her shower and immediately pulled on a pair of red panties. She paused for a moment, considering as she looked at herself in the mirror. She had the house to herself so she had no issue with just standing in her panties, at least long enough to decide not to bother with a bra and pulled on her black shorts and flats and a White T-shirt. Leaving her bedroom she was smiling casually.

'Another nice day, the chance of things to get better, we just…' She was thinking but quickly her thoughts stopped.

The reason, she had just entered the living room to see a man she recognized, Negan, seated on the family sofa.

"Well hello there, Beth Greene, right?" He drawled.

"How…" Beth gasped. "No, get away, you-MRUGH!?"

She stepped back while stammering, only for a second man to grab her from behind and cover her mouth with a hand. She was dragged down and was instantly afraid, however she was helpless and soon found herself being tied up, a hood being pulled over her head until finally she was helpless.

"Alright, let's get her into the car and we'll go and join the others." Negan said. "They all announced they've got their captives too, although one escaped, so we better be quick."

That terrified Beth, things were worse than she thought, others had been taken prisoner. But there was nothing she could do as she was lifted up and taken out to the waiting vehicle and was driven away, to join all the other captives in whatever the remaining Saviours had planned for them.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
