FOUND LANDS.chapter one, not a sanctuary.
[ season five, episode one ]UNEXPECTED. IT WAS UNEXPECTED. Odessa Grimes should have known it would go bad. And that's what's happening. It is all going so, so wrong.
With a muzzle of a gun pressed against the back of her head, she squeezes her eyes shut. This is a shit storm waiting to happen. She moves to raise her arms but the gun presses even harder into her skull.
"I said don't move," the person grits out.
"I'm raising my arms so you see I won't pull some quick shit on you," Odessa hisses.
If she does pull something, there's a chance she will die and so will her people. If she doesn't pull something fast, she l'll be taken and her people will still die.
It's a lose-lose situation.
The girl cocks her head to the side, her eyes settled on the train car. Inside was her father and brother and her friends. Her best friend had been taken God knows where.
She needs to kill this person and burn this place to the ground. She needs to do it now.
Time is of the essence.
Odessa's jaw tightens. Her fingers twitch. She made her decision.
She rears her elbow back into the person's stomach. She quickly moves her head away from the muzzle. She does it just in time. A bullet lands directly in front of her.
She whirls around, blades already in hand. The person is doubled over.
Now Odessa sees it's a young man. He couldn't have been much older than her. Probably around nineteen or twenty. He has brown shaggy hair and a bent nose.
Odessa slashes at his right arm. She cut his arm deeply. He cries out as his gun drops to the first floor below.
Odessa kicks her leg out at his knee. Her boot makes contact and he crumples to the ground with another cry of pain.
Odessa stares down at him, her lip curled and her nostrils flared. "This was the biggest mistake of your life." She whispers.
She kneels beside him. "Now, I'm not gonna kill you yet but I am gonna ask you some questions," she presses the blade against his throat, "and you're going to answer every damn one with nothing but the truth."
A few minutes later has the man tied to a tree. She stands in front of him, glowering down at him. This time, her blades are sheathed. A familiar weight rests on her knuckles. The man keeps glancing between Odessa's brass knuckles and her face that was too young to be so cruel.
"You don't have to do this," he says to her, his eyes wide with fear.
"No, I do," Odessa crouches in front of him. "My family is in that train car. Your people are gonna come lookin' for you, right? So we have to be fast."
He doesn't say anything.
"What's your name?" She asks. He doesn't answer. She sighs and rubs her eyes. "I ask questions, you answer. It's simple."
