Lone Wolf

Chapter Thirty-Four

Alexander:

I was outside in the backyard with Magnus practicing my shooting. Athena and Isabelle decided to take a walk.

I heard screaming and we opened our gate door to look. There were people killing the community. We ran inside and I grabbed my gun. 

"You all stay here and watch Judith." Carol told us as she left.

"All of you take a window." Tyresse told us.

"I need to go get my sisters." I said.

"Fine, but hurry back, safely." he said.

Magnus and I nodded and we left.

"Find them Magnus." I told him.

Just like our mom told us about our Uncle Parish and Aunt Lydia having a connection, Magnus formed one with Athena. I saw him transform into his hellhound and he took off. We killed anyone we saw as we got to our sisters. I found Isabelle covering Athena from four people. 

I could see three already dead. Magnus immediately attacked, slicing two of them in half, while I took the other two down with my bow.

"Alec! Magnus!" I heard them yell as Izzy hugged me. Athena hugged Magnus.

"Come on. We have to get back to the house. Tyresse and Carl are over there watching Judith. they can't cover every corner." I told them. "Athena get on my back. We need to get there fast and you and Isabelle may have some enhanced speed, but we need to get there as soon as possible." I told her.

She nodded and climbed on, while Izzy got on Magnus back. We ran back to the house as soon as possible. We jumped the fence and came through the back door. Magnus transformed back. I could see the door locked.

"Carl, open up." I whispered.

I heard shuffling and saw the door open. When we entered, I could see Enid inside, but no Tyresse.

"He's upstairs with Judith. He's taking out anyone who comes in front of the house." Carl told me.

I nodded.

"Magnus, you have your AR. Get on the roof of the house. From what I saw, they had no guns, just knives, axes, those kinds of weapons. Isabelle, go to your balcony and kill anyone you see. Athena, go to Tyresse and help watch Judith. He can't protect her if he's busy watching the window. Carl, Enid, you two stay down here and watch the front door and back door. I'll be on the roof with Magnus." I ordered everyone.

They all nodded, and we each went to our spots. I jumped on the roof with my bow. I could smell the blood in the air. Suddenly, I winced hearing a noise. I covered my ears and saw Magnus doing the same. Soon it stopped.

"What the hell was that?" Magnus asked me.

"It sounded like a horn." I told him.

I saw movement from the corner of my eye and saw Ron being chased. I fired my arrow, just as I heard the sound of a gun. I saw Carl come out. 

"He's hesitating." I said.

I took another arrow out and aimed it for his shoulder this time. I shot him and watched Carl take the last shot killing him.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm good." He told me.

He grabbed my arrows and I jumped down. He gave them to me as I watched Ron run away. 

"Get back inside." I told him.

"Carl come on." Enid told him.

He ran back inside, and I jumped back on the roof.

"Do you think the noise attracted them?" Magnus asked.

Then I heard it. My mom's scream.

"They did. I think mom's trying to get them back." I told him.

He nodded and soon, I saw everyone dead.

"Clear." I said.

"Clear." he told me.

We went back inside the house. Tyresse checked all of us, while Carl held Judith. I didn't see Enid. Maybe we can clean this up, before mom and dad get back.

Stella:

As I ran, I could see the walkers heading to Alexandria. I picked up my speed and went faster and faster. I finally made it to Alexandria. I jumped the gate and saw Carol.

"Stella." She said as she saw me.

I looked around and saw a lot of dead bodies.

"What happened? Is everyone okay?" She asked me.

"The hoard. About 1/4 of the herd followed the horn. I was able to get half of that back on track, but it was too late. Rick and the others are trying to get them to go another way. I had to come and warn everyone." I told her. I could hear how low it truly was. My throat was killing me.

"What happened to your voice?" She asked me.

"I used my banshee voice more than I ever had too before." I told her. "Make sure those alive have guns and knives." I told her.

I ran back to the house.

"Mom." The kids yelled as they hugged me.

"Where's dad? What happened?" Carl and Alexander asked me.

I pointed to my throat and called Alexander over. He came to me.

"I'm going to put my claws into you and show you." I told him.

"Mama, your voice." Isabelle said.

"I'll be fine, Princessa." I told her quietly.

"Okay, mom." Alexander told me.

I nodded and I took my claws. I sunk them into his neck and showed him what happened. When I took them out, I could feel the exhaustion from today. With my voice, my running, and now this.

"So? What happened?" Carl asked.

"The plan was working, until the horn went off. It took half of the herd off course. Mom, however, used her banshee voice to try and get them back on course. Half of the herd that separated off course, is back on track, thanks to her screams. Dad and the others are coming up with a plan to stop them, but we don't know if it'll work. We need to be prepared." Alexander explained as he helped me sit down.

"Magnus, go to the armory and get as much ammo and guns as possible into a bag. Isabelle go with him." I got out. I could feel my voice slowly becoming more of a whisper. They both left.

"Mom, stop talking. Your voice needs time to heal." Alexander told me.

"I will. Athena go upstairs and grab my weapons kit." She nodded and left. 

I finally stopped talking and lifted my two fingers for water. Alexander brought it to me as he helped me to the couch. Soon the others arrived with what we needed. I took three clips and put them in my pockets. I grabbed two pistols, putting one in the back of my belt, with the other in my holder. I had my bow/arrow on me with my sword on my side. 

I passed two pistols with four clips to Isabelle and Athena. Alexander and Magnus each took two with two clips. Carl took a pistol with his and five clips. Now that the kids all had their weapons, I could feel myself getting drowsy.

I pointed upstairs and Magnus and Alexander helped me upstairs. They put me in bed.

"Get some rest mom. We'll watch over the others." Alexander told me.

I nodded closing my eyes.
