safe

Chapter 61

Glenn's P.O.V~

I hear shots outside but I don't even react.

Everything's turned to hell.

Ruby would have scouted the place out before she got here.

We were too full of hope and the thought that it we were safe in the number of people we had.

Now we'll probably die here in this shit hole.

There are footsteps and screaming and shots coming our way, they're getting louder and louder.

The footsteps stop and I hear grunting and speaking.

"At least a small part of you will live on..." Gareth's voice looms through the screams.

The door to, what seems to be, the train car we are being held in opens and light blinds my eyes temporarily.

Figure are being thrown in with us, each kicking and screaming.

I look to see Carl, Michonne, Daryl, Rick and finally Max struggle to get to there feet in the train carriage.

As I go to their aid I see a final figure with her arms being held behind her back, legs flailing wildly, jumping against the restraint and screaming.

"GIVE HER THE FUCK BACK TO ME ELSE I WILL KILL YOU." She screeches in anger as the men throw her down into the carriage.

They quickly slam the door but she stands up and kicks hard against it screaming and punching and kicking and screaming and punching over and over.

I walk past the others and watch as Max moves behind me, frightened at her raw and seemingly unrelenting anger.

I put my arm on her shoulder.

"Ruby?" I ask in a normal voice.

She can't hear me through her screams.

"Ruby! Ruby! Calm down." I instruct her firmly, putting my hand down strong on her shoulder.

I feel her back tense up and then she turns around.

I look at her and I am too happy to speak.

But then I remember we're being held against I will by strange and dangerous people and I feel imminent danger.

She stares at me for a second, an expression on her face displaying pure hopelessness.

And then she cries.

She grabs my shirt and I pick her up, she wraps her legs around my waist and keeps on crying.

I feel Max's little hand grab the back of my pants and his arms wrap around my leg in a desperate embrace.

"I lost her." Ruby tells me in between sobs.

"Lost who?" I ask as I realise that she means she lost Daisy.

"He took her Glenn!" She says desperately.

I hear the rest of the group murmur quietly and I turn around, Max shuffling with my leg.

"We're going to get out of here." Rick announces to the group, his arm around Carl protectively.

They don't have Judith either.

Michonne approaches us calmly and puts a hand to Ruby's shoulder in support.

Ruby tears her head away from my chest and sniffles hard.

"I thought you were dead." She whispers sadly.

"I found the bunk without you in it and knew you would have found this place eventually, so we came here too." I tell her.

Ruby pulls one leg out of my hold on it and stands on her own.

Michonne pulls her shoulder towards her and embraces Ruby in a tight hug.

"It'll be okay Ruby, we'll get her back." She comforts Ruby sincerely.

Max lets go of my leg and puts his arms out to me, gesturing for me to pick him up.

I oblige happily and he wraps his arms around my neck and cuddles me lovingly.

Ruby turns to us and smiles half-heartedly.

"At least they aren't killing her." She says with determination.

"We'll get out and save her Rubes." I respond.

She holds her hand out and I grab hold of it.

"So who are you guys?" She asks Abraham and the others.

Rosa steps forward and introduces everyone and Ruby responds politely to them all.

"They helped us so much, we wouldn't have made it without them." I quip.

"Eugene is going to Washington to cure the dead." Abraham pipes up.

"Kudos to Eugene." Ruby smiles.

I turn to Ruby and look at her properly.

She still has that pregnant glow, her skin is golden tanned and her hair is thick and shiny with grease.

Her lips are dry and cracked but still plump like usual and her eyes have dulled and there is so much grief behind them.

Her nose has the tiniest, lightest little freckles on it, only visible if you're really looking, which I am.

She's wearing a plain black t shirt and jeans, a dark green jacket over the top.

Around her neck she has a black corded necklace that goes down underneath her top.

Her signature converse look worn out but in a cool way that she makes work.

She could make anything work.

She looks really good for only a month or so after childbirth.

She notices me staring at her and I feel myself blush with embarrassment but she simply stands on her tiptoes and kisses me on the cheek.

"I love you." I whisper to her.

She looks around at the group to see them all talking seriously about the method of escape and she turns back to me.

"I love you more."
