The Walking Dead: The Newcomer

Episode 5: A Real Hero

Last night, i made a promise. One that holds a lot of responsability, and meaning to me and my friends. Last night, i got out of a hole i thought i was never going to get out, and in my own way, i accepted that Willy's dead... wasen't my fault. 

After a night that completly payed off the days i spent building Clem's leg, the nights i cried thinking of that bullet on Willy's hearth. After that night, i wake up to the news... that Clem and Louis are not in the school.

I was outside in the yard, in one of the benches. I was looking at the arrow that AJ told me and Clem about last night. The more i saw the arrow, the more i hated myself for not doing anything. I notice how my left hand started to shake, at the simple thought of me not being able to avoid this. With my right hand (still holding the arow) i stop the shaking, and came back to thinking. I only could thought, how did this happen?. 

It all started when Violet came knocking down the door, asking for help. She kept saying she couldnt find Clem or Louis, and that they weren't in there rooms. That was some hours ago, and i was still looking at the damn arrrow. 

But after minutes of moving the arrow around, i found a note that was hidden in the white stick that divided the point and tail of the arrow. I took it out, unroll it, and read. 

"You took to much of us, know we take what's left of you" 

When i read that, my head became clear... it all made sense. "Violet!" i yelled as i looked around for her. She came to me running, and let out a "What is it?". As quickly as i could thought, i told her to bring me the map of the raiders that attack us weeks ago. She asked why, but i only said "I'll explain later, go for it... now!".  

After a minute, Violet arrived with the map. She stood there while i was studying it, waiting for a word to come out of my mouth i guess. I keep thinking of a plan, and Violet started to get nervous. 

Even when my eyes were on the map, i noticed how her hand started to shake... just like mine before. I didnt want to keep her like that, so i told her to go wake up the others. She went on her way, and i keep thinking about what to do. 

After some minutes, Violet came back with Ruby by her left, and AJ by her right. Omar was just getting out of the building, and Aasim came out walking with noticible anger. He became faster by the moment, and didn't seem to stop. 

He keep walking towards me, and in my attempt to calm him down, i raise both my hands, and started to say "Aasim, wait i know you-" i wasent able to end that sentence, cause next think i know, im getting punch in the face.It wasent the first time i got punch, so it didnt really hurt... Aasim is actually not that strong. 

Either way, it was punch, so i did turn around because of it. Aasim then, grab me by the jacket. And before throwing the next punch, he said "This is all your fault, that kid in the town is your fault, Clem and Louis is your fault," Before finishing his sentence, Violet yelled "Aasim, calm the fuck down!" and started to run towards us. 

"Willy's dead is your fault!" 

Aasim yelled, followed by a punch. Something awoke in me. The last time i felt that, was when that kid stab me deeper. For a moment, it was like i saw everything in slow motion, so i acted fast. 

When Aasim was about to hit me, i grab his fist with my right hand, and then pull his arm to the right, followed by my right knee to his stomach. Aasim fell to his knees, and tried to recover his breath. Violet came to help him, but Aasim push her, like saying 'I dont want your help'. I thought Vi was about to yell at me, but she didnt... like if she was with me on this one.  

"Your just a bomb... wa- waiting to explode" said Aasim while trying to recover his breath. I felt an incredible anger inside, and i was about to kick him in the face. But that only would have prove his point, so i holded myself.
