7 - murder in the church

Gabriel announced that there was a gas station nearby, and that Rick will take some people to search through it and get some supplies. Everyone left apart from Tyreese and Carl to take care of Judith, and Rick ordered me to stay with them, incase any of Gabriel's 'friends' pay us a surprise visit.

Hours passed by till evening and the group peacefully returned with tons of supplies. "I look around this room and I see survivors, and all of us deserve that title" Abraham spoke out as we devoured the food that was in front of us.

I sat beside Maggie, catching up on the events that happened before the rise of the dead. I glanced over to Daryl every now and again and Maggie noticed but didn't say a word. "How was Beth, when you met with her again?" Maggie asked me as the tone in her voice changed.

"She wanted to find a drink," I chuckled. "We searched everywhere that day because she said she never had one, she hated it the first sip but then she liked it."

Maggie giggled as the thought of Beth drinking rose to her mind. "What drink was it?"

"Moonshine." I replied, then Maggie added, "Bad moonshine can make you go blind" We laughed as we ate our meals. Slowly realising that Daryl and Carol have disappeared outside.

"So how's you and Glenn?" I chuckled as maggie lay her head against my shoulder. "Can't believe your married maggs" I stroked her hair softly just like she was a kid.

"It's crazy isn't it? Who would've thought I would've gotten married, yet alone in a world like this one " She squealed.

"Where is he? Where is he!" Yelled out Sasha as she came bursting through the doors with her silencer in hand.
I sat up almost immediately and everyone's heads turned to her, "Bobs gone" She panicked.

"Carol and Daryl are gone too" Rick sighed as he walked in after her.

"You did this!" Sasha screamed while running to Gabriel and pointing a knife at him. He began to plead for his life, that she wouldn't do anything. Guilt rushed to the surface as he began to announce why the side of the church says
'You'll burn for this'

Sasha tucked her gun in her waistband as whistles echoed outside. "There's something, there's someone outside laying in the grass" Frantically spoke Glenn.

Sasha's breathing became panicked and uneven, she rushed outside to see Bob on the floor missing a leg. And walkers approaching us.

"Come on, come on!" Yelled out Sasha as we carried in Bob, gently laying him on the floor.

"It was gareth, and five other ones. they were eating my leg right infront of me, like it was nothing. All proud like they had it figured out." Grumbled Bob.

"Did they have Carol and Daryl?" Asked Rick in hope that they were safe.

"They said they drove off" Bob yelled out in pain.

"He's in pain, pill packets are in the first aid kit" Said Rosita standing up and grabbing the bag.

"Save 'em" Bob cried out, pulling down his shirt and revealing the bite on his shoulder. "It happened at the gas station"

Tyreese lifted Bob up, taking him to Gabriel's office and laying him down on the couch.

"Where is this place.. they had you" Asked rick barely above a whisper.

"About 10 minute walk, south of the graveyard" Groaned Bob as they lay him down.

"We're goin' to DC, now. Things are going to shit and i'm not letting Eugene get caught up with that. We fixed the damn bus ourselves" Abraham announced with Rosita beside him.

Rick began to explain that Daryl and Carol saved his life along with the group, which ended in a heated argument where Glenn had to split the two up.

"We go tomorrow, and Glenn and Maggie will come with us"Abraham announced, placing his gun down.

——————

Rosita, Carl, Eugene, and Tyreese hid inside Gabriel's office. Gareth was yelling out for them to walk out, demanding for them. Threatening that they would kill everyone if they wouldn't.

"Put your guns on the floor" Yelled Rick as I stood beside him, pointing my AK-47 at Gareth.

"We will shoot into that office!" Gareth shouted in fury, then a scream came afterwards along with gunshots.

"Put your guns on the floor and kneel" Rick demanded and all except one knelt on the ground.

"Martin there's no choice here!" Screamed Gareth in pain from his gunshot wound.

"Yeah there is" He chuckled to himself.

"Want to bet?" I hissed, walking out the shadows and pointing my gun now at Martins face. He kissed his teeth and hesitantly kneeled down. Sasha, abraham and Rick now walking out of the shadows.

"No point in begging right?" Gareth slurred as he spit out blood.

"No." Rick replied shortly.

"You could've killed us when you came in, there had to be a reason for that" Gareth cried out.

"Didn't want to waste the bullets" Responded Rick with no emotion in his voice.

"We used to help people, we saved people. Things changed, they came in-" Gareth began to ramble on.

"Nobody actually cares, can we just do this already?" I scoffed and cut him off.

"Wait.. we won't cross paths again I promise you!" Gareth pleaded

"You'd do this to anyone, right? Besides, I already made you a promise." Shrugged Rick, raising his machete with the red handle and stabbing Gareth in the skull.

"No!" Screamed out a woman, we all began to hit the terminus people with our guns, but not using any bullets.

Martin looked to me in horror, his hands raised and noticing he hadn't been hit yet. A wide grin spread across my face. "Oh your mine now"I grabbed him by the t-shirt, pulling out my knife and gutting him. Then repeatedly stabbing him over and over. Rick repeatedly stabbed Gareth with the machete, till there was almost nothing left. Just blood spewing all over the floor.

"It could've been us.." Mumbled rick in a raspy voice. I let go of Martin, he collapsed from his knees to the ground and then I lifted up my shoe and stomped on his head.

Gabriel walked out in shock and panic as he glanced at all of the dead bodies. "This is the lords house.." He cried.

"No, just four walls and a roof" Maggie shrugged her shoulders.
