Apocalypse Now

Chapter 31: New World Order

Thanks to silent11997 for all the comments and votes, those made my day to see my inbox full of notifications!

I'm thinking for a possible future chapter to maybe switch it back to Daryl. What do you think? And just before you think I've duped you, this chapter is definitely about Camille. I'm sure people would kill me if I didn't post that first lol!

Enjoy!!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of gunshots stirred me, pulling me from my drug-induced state. I froze unsure of what was happening and my bearings. I felt my body jerk slightly, hands grabbing at my feet. I opened my eyes to find the blindfold had been removed, it was lying on the floor of the van. As I looked down at my feet I was now looking back at snapping jaws and rotting flesh trying to grab me for a snack. I looked around the van to see no one was inside any more. Where the fuck were these pricks? And had they just left me to become walker lunch? Shit, um maybe I could use this to try escape, where ever the fuck I was. I need to get rid of this walker first, then get untied, can't fucking hop back to the trailer park. I was starting to panic, I pushed myself back further along the seat, the walker getting a tighter hold on my boots. I tried to kick and move my legs, but both were still zip-tied together. I struggled, still trying to push myself further back. My attempts becoming harder as the walker seemed to be getting a better grip on me each time, pulling itself further up my body. All I do was struggle and try kick it off me, as futile as it was.

I felt the weight lifted and I saw the leader pulling the walker back, dropping it to the ground and then shooting it in the head.

"Are you ok?" he asked in a bit of panicked voice, stepping inside the van, checking me over for bites or scratches.

I nodded, not being able to get the words out. I was still panting a little and my nerves a little rocked.

"We ran into a bit of trouble when we were changing the vehicles. Damn biters came out of nowhere. Think we're ok though. Just stay here while we sort it out" he said cupping his hand over my cheek. If he hadn't just kidnapped me I would have considered that affectionate. I pulled my cheek out of his hand, just glaring. He smirked back and grabbed his knife from his sheath and cut the binds to my ankles before heading back out the van. I could hear one of the men screaming. It didn't sound like it was going to well for him, not that it bothered me. One less asshole to deal with.

"Luke! Luke!" one man yelled, the leader responded running over to the man.

I inched myself closer to the back of the van. I could see two of the men taking out walkers. None of them were using their guns now. I guessed they didn't want to attract more attention. At least they had some smarts. Everything else they did was questionable though.

Peeking my head out the door I surveyed the situation. The men were all spread out killing the approaching walkers. Walkers had been coming out from the trees. And all the men were distracted, this could be my one chance to book it. I wouldn't have time to cut the binds from my hands, I could find something later. Right now I needed to run. I could still feel the effects of the drugs in my system and wasn't sure how I was going to get out of this any other way. I just hoped what ever they had given me, wasn't going to effect how I run.
