As Long As I Have You

Chapter 5

It's been what we assume is almost a week. Being in this train car really gives us no sense of time. We got here on a Monday and we think it's now Sunday. Each day has been hell and torture. They occasionally fed us but it wasn't much. It was enough to stay alive and not starve. I was sitting along a wall of the car when a light appeared above us and a canister was dropped into the car.
We all looked at each other confused until we heard Abraham yell out, "Gas, take cover!" We tried to cover our faces in the fabric of our clothing but it was too late. The canister erupted with a gas, knocking us all out.
I soon woke up to the sudden jerking motions of someone dropping me on the floor. I took a minute to compose myself until I became fully aware of my surroundings. I looked over at at Carl then looked at myself. My hands were tied together, a piece of fabric was wrapped around our heads to keep us from talking and lastly, we were all kneeling in front of a trough.
I looked down the line to see who was all there. I saw Glenn, Rick, Daryl, Carl, me and then this random stranger that I have never seen before. Gareth saw that we were now all conscious and made his way in front of us.
"Well well. Seems like you guys made the wrong decision in coming here didn't you? Well I guess we'll have to get on with our work" he creepily smiled at us. One of his men walked over by the stranger, pulled him back by his hair and slit his throat, then letting go of his hair to allow his body to drape over the side of the trough. I began to freak out. I wiggled the fabric out of my mouth and spoke.
"What the hell is wrong with you guys? What do you want from us?" my voice was scratchy.
"Hey no one asked your opinion you little bitch," one of the men yelled and walked over, pulled me by my hair also and positioned his knife to my neck. I clamped my eyes shut. I knew that this was for sure the end.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER" Rick yelled also now free from the fabric that was restraining him from speaking. The man let go of me and walked over to Rick. He got up in his face and soon went down. Rick head butted him in the face and stood up. He managed to take a knife from Daryl and cut himself free. Daryl was also free and got up and cut Glenn free and giving him the knife as Rick and Daryl fought and killed the other men. Glenn cut me and Carl free and we got up and fought too, grabbing guns that the now dead men were recently holding.
We soon got out of the slaughter house and made our way back to the train car to get the others. Maggie and Beth got out and quickly wrapped me in a hug. Glad that I wasn't hurt. We all then ran to where they had our weapons. We grabbed them all and more. We took on massive loads of people. We soon got out. Leaving open the front gate, letting in a hoard of walkers to take out the rest of the people who were still in Terminus. We ran and ran, as far as we could, making sure we were safe and away from the house of lies. As soon as we were safe I ran to Carl. I threw my arms around him and burst into a fit of sobs. I could tell he was crying too because I heard him sniffle occasionally. We stayed there in each other's arms. Glad that we were both okay. Glad that everyone was okay.
