I Will Survive

6 - Help

Eduard strolled along the prison corridors, heading towards Gabe's cell. He laughed darkly and got out his pen knife and he licked the remaining blood from it. Surprisingly his teeth were as white as fresh snow and his eyes were a beautiful sky blue.

--

Turner, Debra and Dylan all arrived outside of the broken prison door. It was early in the morning so the sun was just coming up. Debra poked her head inside and saw the long dark and gloomy corridor.

"Okay so who volunteers to enter the dark scary hallway?" Dylan said with a small giggle.

"We all are..." Turner answered unimpressed, he then pushed Dylan inside the gap and followed him. Debra stayed out and folders her arms

"I will keep on guard, ok?" She asked and produced a small smile.

"Sure!" Turner said whilst walking down the hall and heading into cell block A.

--

Eduard came up close to Gabe's face and frowned.

"WAKEY WAKEY!" He then shouted and spat on his face. Gabe suddenly opened his eyes and yawned. He felt ill, he hadn't eaten in two days and he hadn't moved. It also felt like this hell had lasted forever, had anyone noticed that he wasn't there?

--

Meanwhile Turner and Dylan had found the ward that Gabe was stuck in. They could see Eduard standing next to him holding a black syringe and laughing.

"Should I shoot him?" Dylan asked whilst getting out his pistol.

"No, no!" Turner said quickly.

"I only kill those creatures that roam the earth, I don't want me or you to be a murderer!" He said unusually calm. Dylan put the silver pistol back in his belt and nodded in agreement.

"Who is that guy anyway?" Asked Dylan "was he ever part of Wellington?"

"No..." Turner said quickly "Wellington is still fairly new and nobody has left that has entered yet..."

"Hmmm ok, by the looks of it he is wearing orange prison wear, which means he might be a prisoner that was once held here..."

"Yeah, seems that way..." Turner replied whilst examining the room. "So how do we get over there without being spotted?"

--

"Gabe. Wait that IS you name right!?" Eduard asked confused. Gabe just glared at him and closed his eyes. "Thought so..." He replied evilly and flicking his red syringe. "This should be a lot of fu-"

"OH NO YOU DONT!" A voice then shouted whilst shooting the syringe.

"What or who was that...?" Eduard asked, whilst quickly turning around slightly worried.

"It was me!" Turner said whilst walking through the door arch. His face was expressionless and he stood looking at Eduard. Unafraid he strolled towards Eduard and stood face to face with him. "You will let my friend go. And if you don't I will kill you." Gabe's face lit up with excitement but he felt to weak to anything else.

Eduard's face turned pale, he hated the thought of him dying or getting tortured. That's why he did it to other people, to relive the fright.

"O-okay..." He said whilst walking over to Gabe and untying his arms and legs. "I-I'm sorry..." Eduard confessed.

"FUCK OFF!" Gabe shouted whilst pushing him against the wall and punching him in the face until Turner restrained him. "Thank you Turner, for saving me..." He then said whilst turning around and hugging Turner "thank you."

"It's okay, I wouldn't have done it without Dylan though, he wanted to save you and Debra also tagged along. She is just guarding the entrance. WAIT! I HOPE SHE IS OK!" Turner shouted whilst turning around and running off, leaving Eduard sulking in pain on the floor. Gabe followed and ignored Eduard.

Eduard then burst out laughing as they left.

--

Turner and Gabe ran to the exit where Debra wasn't to be seen.

"no no no NO NO!" Turner shouted. "WHAT HAS HE DONE WITH HER?!"

A scream was then heard from deep inside of the prison.

"That bastard!" Dylan spoke up as he ran back into prison.

"Dylan wait..." Gabe forced out as he collapsed onto the ground. His throat was too dry to say much and he felt really weak. Turner didn't know what to do, he was stuck between finding Debra, chasing Dylan or helping Gabe.

"Fuck..." He said whilst walking in circles due to stress. "I was supposed to help the people trapped in this apocalypse, not get them lost and kill them off! If I didn't send Gabe to work this never would have happened.... WHY DID I HELP DYLAN!?" He screamed and curled up before starting to cry "It's all my fault... My son may never see me again..."
