Apocalypse

Taken ~Part 1~

"I'm gonna get some food guys." Avi said as she got up from their group table and gave trixy a kiss.

"Oo! Mac and cheese please!" Issac begged.

"You got it bud."

"Biscuits and gravy for me." Bella spoke up with a little giggle.

"On it. Be right back." Avi chuckled as she walked away towards the cafeteria line.

On her way there, someone bumped into her and put a firm hand on her back. Wait, no. It wasn't a hand. It was the barrel of a gun. Avi froze and gasped slightly when she felt the cold barrel against her back. She wasn't a zombie anymore, so if she was shot, she was dead. For sure this time.

"You do what I tell you, and no one gets hurt." The man whispered in her ear in a dangerous tone. This guy wasn't messing around, and Avi heard the gun cock against her back. That meant trying to knock the gun away or take it was out of the question. His finger was probably on the trigger.

"What do you want?" She asked in a shaking yet somewhat firm tone.

"Step out of line."

Avi stared at him and slowly did as she was told, and he began leading her to the car lot. Danny had been walking by after using the restroom, and when he saw Avi and the way the guy was holding her, he went into a panic.

"Avi!" He shouted and started running towards them.

"Danny don't-!" She tried to warn him, but by the time she had the chance and Danny pulled out his gun, the man had pulled the gun off her back and shot Danny in the chest, just above his heart. "Danny!!" She screamed and started crying as she raised her arm to take a swing at the man trying to hold her hostage.

He deflected her easily and punched her across the jaw. He slammed her into the wall, the sound of bones breaking under the impact as avi's shoulder popped out of place. She cried out and kicked him in his groin, then his chest as she tried running, but he grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground, shooting her leg and knocking her out with the butt of his firearm. Avi groaned in pain as her assailant picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. Danny coughed and held his bleeding chest as he watched him walk away with his friend. He needed help. He needed it now. He slowly got up and pulled out his radio from his belt.

"Avi's in trouble..! 20 year old man in a grey jacket and white jeans just took her after he shot me..! They're heading for the car port, somebody do something!"

He winced as he held his bleeding chest and his breathing grew heavy and laboured. He started coughing and slid against the wall down to the floor. It was a bad wound. And it didn't have an exit wound which meant the bullet was still in his chest. He slowly let his radio fall to his side as he struggled to catch his breath.

"Don't let that bastard kill you Avi... Just hang in there..." He muttered before he inevitably passed out.
