SOS/Book 2/The Prison

Chapter 31

Nobodys point of view
"Woah woah woah there," the Governor said catching Milton's fist as it swung towards his face with the screwdriver.
He snatched the screwdriver from his grasp and shoved him down onto the floor.
"You've blown it now that you've tried to kill me too."

Milton mentally punched himself at how stupid he had been. He was never any match for the Governor- it was obvious.
"MILTON NO!" Andrea screamed as punches after punches were thrown towards his face.
Andrea was trying to shake free from the chair she was tied to, maybe to help Milton, or maybe because she knew she was next.

"Kill me then," Milton said spitting the blood from his mouth onto the floor, "Kill a useless, pathetic scientist because you've got nothing better to do right?"
The Governor didn't reply, he just gave him another hard throw to the nose.
"You gonna kill her too?" Milton said on his last breaths, "Thats a good idea, kill a strong woman who could be so much use in making the world what it once was."
"If I cant have her, nobody can," The Governor said shooting a glare at her.
"Mature, real mature. You know you sound like a toddler right?"
"JUST SHUT UP," The Governor threw four more punches at him and then he lay there unconscious.

"I don't want to kill you Andrea," The Governor said out of breath, "But you've left me no choice."
"No choice? You run a whole town in a world where literally nobody is alive anymore- I think thats a lot of fucking choices and power if you ask me."
The Governor scoffed at her,
"You know I wasn't always like this, its people like you who drive me crazy!"
"Drive you crazy? How? Your the person who is obsessed with me!!!"

The Governor stopped, and he just stared. Stared at her like she had caught him off guard.
"If I'm obsessed with you then why am I letting you go?" he whispered under his breath, grabbing the screwdriver and stabbing Milton- confirming he was dead.

More tears fell from Andreas blue eyes as she watched Miltons slumped and lifeless body.
"Ill go now," The Governor said leaving the room and slamming the door behind him, "When Milton turns he can kill you for me."

That wasn't how she expected to die, being eaten alive by someone she had grown fond of.
But at least it was dramatic right?
"HELPPPP!!!" Andrea screamed, hoping that just anyone with a heart would help her.
She looked around helplessly.
Then she noticed something.
Something on the ground next to her.
It was a knife from the toolbox.

'I deliberately dropped all the tools to the floor but making it seem like an accident.
"Sorry," I apologised, scrambling to pick them all up.
But I left one, just behind Andreas chair, a knife.
The Governor didn't notice.' -Milton

Andreas point of view
Did he do it deliberately? For me?
I wasn't sure, but I thought It'd be nice to believe that. Especially because he died because of me.
My hands were tied firmly by my sides, but my feet were free. If I could just grab it with my toes I could snatch it with my hands and cut myself free?

So I tried doing just that, I knew I had about 20 minutes because that was the usual time for people to turn.
I stretched out my feet trying to grab the knife next to me, it was hard, and after ten minutes I had gotten nowhere.

"FUUUCKKKK!!!" I screamed, was I going to die? Just the thought of Miltons teeth ripping into my skin sent shivers down my spine. While I was still alive too.

10 minutes dropped to 7, then 5. And finally I managed to grasp the knife with my toes.
But just as it reached my hand,
It fell back to the floor with a cling on the tiles.

I didn't even stop, time wasn't worth wasting. I immediately started trying to grasp it again.
5 minutes went by. No growling. It was going to happen any minute now.

Finally for the second time I managed to pick up the knife. Slowly, I started moving my foot towards my hand.
"YESSS," I said too loudly, as my hand grasped the sharp end. It cut into my hand a bit but it was nothing as bad as what could happen to me.
With my one hand I started sawing away at the tape until one of them was free.

Then I stopped in my tracks.

"UggGggHhhhhh," groaning came from the other side of the room as Miltons head lifted up.
"No no no no," I said to myself going straight to the next hand and cutting the knife in hastily.

Milton stood up, and looked straight at me. Then he started to stagger, snapping his teeth and making it all the more terrifying.
The last tape wouldn't budge, it was wrapped good and tight.

And soon enough Milton was beside me, chomping and reaching to bite into my flesh as I kicked him away.
"HELP!!!" I screamed, but I knew it was no use.

I closed my eyes and stopped fighting, I wasn't winning, now I had to take the pain.
"I tried," I whispered, laying back into my chair.

Michonnes point of view
"ANDREA!!!!" I burst through the Governors front door, nobody was home, it was silent. I rushed up the stairs and into the top corridor, then I entered Andreas bedroom.

On the floor were two bags, it looked like she was ready to leave, but she hadn't.
"ANDREAAAA!!!!!" I wiped the tears as they fell from my face, I couldn't panic yet.
Where was Milton too?

As I returned to the ground floor I realised that the steps leading into the basement were bloody.
And now I started to panic.
"Its just the Governors blood," I reassured myself running and almost tripping down the stairs.

The floor was covered in blood, thick red blood.
"Andrea?" I cried, peering around the room.
"UgHhhhHhhhgg,"

There was a walker down there.
I took out my Katana and listened carefully to where it was coming from.
A long line of blood lead through another door and I carefully tiptoed over to it.

The worst of the worst thought flashed through my mind and I pushed them away as I placed my hand on the door knob.

"Andrea?" I whispered, opening the door.

But I could see it was too late.
