The Chosen One

Betrayed part two

----Melinda

I was sitting on the cot, it's been two weeks, and despite Alex and Liam's attempts to get me out the captain wouldn't budge.  Carly even tried to get him to give, but he wouldn't.  She told him he wasn't getting any until I got out.

The door opened and I looked up.  It was Stacy.  "Hey Stace."  I said.

"Hey Mel."  She said.  She pulled a handgun, it was tucked in her jeans.

"Stacy."  I said standing up.  She unlocked the gate and threw handcuffs at me.

"Put them on, now."  I did.  "Move.  Don't do anything stupid."  She said.  She yanked me by the arm and the cuffs cut into my wrists.  Blood dripped on the floor.

We left the holding cells and she grabbed one of the missing rifles.  She shoved me forward with the end of the rifle.  We walked down the street and I saw Liam at his usual post.  We got to the middle of town and she shoved me into the dirt.

My arms were covered in dirt and blood within seconds.

----Alex

I put Rachel in the playpen after giving her a bath and changing her diaper.  I heard a gun shot.  I picked Rachel back up and grabbed Riley.  Carly ran over and took them up to the main house for safety.

I jogged in the direction of the gunshot.  Liam met me at an intersection.  Cam ran over.  "You and Kevin get on the wall.  Watch out for herds.  If you see a herd make a distraction.  You know what to do."  He nodded.

We got to the next intersection, the middle of town.  Stacy had Melinda handcuffed, her arms bloody and blood seeping through her shirt from the shoulder.  "Stacy."  I said.  She shot at our feet.

"Don't fucking move."  She snapped.

She pulled a handgun and pressed it to Melinda's forehead.  "Stacy, what's the problem?"

"She is."  She said.

"No the problem is you stole 4 guns from the armory and are using them on a member of the community."  Liam said.

The captain walked over and saw the situation.  "Well, we know who has the guns now."  He said.

I watched Liam from the corner of my eye.  Stacy moved and pulled the trigger again getting my leg.  I fell back on my back a sound of pain escaped me.  My pants felt wet as I pissed myself.  Alex took a step and she aimed at him.  I groaned in pain and I made myself stand.  She pressed the gun to my head.

"Do it."  I said.  "I had Ben killed and I sleep with two men ruining your obsession."  I said through my teeth.  "Ben deserved to die and Alex and Liam fuck me so good, no wonder you're jealous."  She hit me in the face with the gun.

With blood dripping down my face, I used my good leg and swept it under her feet.  She lost the gun and Jack grabbed her.  I felt Alex beside me and saw Liam in front of me.  I was on the verge of a panic attack.  I tried moving my arms, but the cuffs cut deeper.  "Hold on Mel."  Liam said.  "Get me the damn keys!"  He yelled.

I was hyperventilating.  I jerked my arms and kicked my feet.  Alex grabbed a hold of me and I saw Doc running over.  I tried to move, I kicked my feet.  "She's freaking out.  Get me the fucking keys!"  Liam said.  The captain returned I didn't know he left.  Alex hurried and uncuffed my hands.  I felt something cold and a poke.  I drifted off and Alex scooped me up.
