No Mercy (TWDG)

Being Accused

I walked up to Jake who was drinking a beer like always. He was looking into the city from a distance. "Sup?" I said nudging him with my hip. "Not much." Jake replied. He took a sip of the beer and tossed it. "Clem! Jake! Help!" I turned around and saw Abigail running toward us. "What's the matter?" Jake asked. "That guy!" We seen a guy that looked like a psycho. "C'mere darlin'! I think your pretty." He said. "Who the fuck is that?!" Jake asked. "A pedophile!" She said. "Move out of the way! She's my future wife!" He said. "A sixteen year old?! You're fuckin' 34 or somethin' you bastard!" Jake said. "30. And you're?" The crazy person said. "I ain't tellin' you shit." Jake said. The man raised a eyebrow and grinned.

Jake shook his head. "I'm disgusted." He said. "Why?" The man asked. "Because. You wanna fuck a teenager when you can find a person your own goddamn age!" Jake hissed. "Screw this." The man said. He reached behind him and took out a gun. He was going to shoot Jake but he grabbed his arm and snatched the gun out of his hand. He then shot the man in the stomach which caused blood to leak out of his mouth. "What's going on here?" A crowd asked. Murphy pushed his way through to the front. "Jake?" He questioned. "That kid straight up murdered that guy." I heard someone say. "Why? Why?" Murphy questioned. "It wasn't goddamn murder I was just protecting a friend." Jake said clenching his teeth together as he did when he was mad.

"Abigail!" Kendra said running from the crowd. The two sisters hugged tightly. "You helped that kid?" Murphy said. Jake nodded. "I don't believe you Jake." He muttered. Jake clutched his fists together. "I'm gonna make you leave my town. I'm kicking you out." I was enraged. "If you're kicking my brother out you have to kick me out to!" I muttered. "And me!" Abigail stepped up. "Me to!" Kendra said. "Kicking them out Murphy, you're kicking me out to with them." Christa said stepping out of the crowd. "And us!" Joel said with Ellie and Sarah. "You barley know these folks Joel." Murphy said. "I have to make a drop off anyway." Joel muttered. Sarah glanced over at him.

"I'm going with them." Carl said. "Carl? What are you doing?" Rick said grabbing his sons arm. Carl ripped away and stood with us. We all stood side by side glaring at Murphy. "Jake, hand me the gun." Murphy said holding his hand out. Jake began to walk forward. "Don't." Kendra said gripping his arm. "It's alright." Jake said. Once he got up to Murphy Jake dropped the gun into his hand. Murphy continued to glare at Jake. "If your gonna do somethin' do it now." Jake said. Murphy then whacked Jake across the head with the pistol. "Jake!" Kendra shouted. Murphy's expression turned to anger. He dropped the gun and grabbed Jake by his sweater and started to beat him. It was this all over again.

"Please stop!" Abigail begged. "Stop him!" Kendra said dashing forward. She was restrained by Joel and Carl. I stood on horror as I watched my brother be beaten once again. Murphy didn't stop punching my brother. "Please don't kill my brother!" Murphy looked at me and dropped Jake. "Your punkass brother brought this on himself Clementine. Keep that in mind." I looked at him with a sad expression. "I'll give you guys till tomorrow. If he don't wake up, you're leaving him!" Murphy said before walking away.
