Death comes for all (TNN)

Escape

"Mia, come on! Now you've got your chance!" shouted Sorscha, standing near the entrance to the burning building.

Mia stared at her. Her weapon firmly in her hand. Now she could take revenge. For what Sorscha had done to Char, Agatha and Vivian.

But a hand grabbed her arm.

"Mia, it's not worth it! Come on!" Marjorie shouted and pulled her along.

"COWARD!" shouted Sorscha and started emptying her Revolver on both of them. Bullets shot through the air. She tried to run after them, but her ankle was grabbed by on of the dead lying on the ground.

Reece kicked a zombie in the face. He stood in the door of the campervan and kept an eye out for Marjorie.

He was about to get out of the vehicle again and run into the chaos in front of him. When he saw Marjorie and Mia.

The two of them jumped into the camper. Reece slammed the door shut.

"Winter! Drive!"

With screeching tyres, the camper raced off. Winter managed to drive through a destroyed section of the fence.

They reached the road leading away from the prison.

"We made it," said Carly.

Autumn took a deep breath and slumped into the passenger seat. Reece held Marjorie tightly. Mia sat down on a bench seat.

"Marjorie, you're bleeding," said Mia.

"What?" Marjorie looked at her upper arm. A bullet from Sorscha must have grazed her.

Carly quickly jumped up and searched through the small kitchen inside the motorhome, pulling a towel out of one of the cupboards and handing it to Reece. Reece wrapped it around his girlfriend's arm.

"Where are we going?" asked Winter.

"Far away from the city, that would be best," said Autumn.

Reece looked at Mia. " Good to have you back."

The redhead didn't answer and just stared out the window.

They drove all night. In between, Autumn, Winter and Reece took turns driving.

As the early hours of the morning approached, their took a short break at the side of the road.

They were in a rural area, on a deserted country road in the middle of the forest.

"I should have killed her..." Mia muttered, leaning against the vehicle.

"She would have killed you," Autumn said dryly.

Carly stood in the middle of the road, looking both ways. " I hope she's not following us."

" Nothing will happen, how will she know where we are," Marjorie said.

"So we just ignore the fact that she killed Char! We have to go back and finish her!" shouted Mia.

"No way!" Reece spoke seriously.

Winter got out of the vehicle. "It would be suicide, Mia."

Autumn eyed Marjorie critically as she stood next to Reece, her hand on her stomach. Suddenly it clicked. Sorscha had killed Vivian because she had stolen a pregnancy test.

"Marjorie, are you serious?" Autumn was furious. "You couldn't have chosen a worse time!"

"What do you mean?" Marjorie asked, she didn't understand what was wrong with Autumn all of a sudden.

"You're pregnant!"

"What?" shouted Mia.

Carly returned to the group.

" Yes..." Marjorie mumbled.

"What were you thinking?!" Autumn shouted.

Reece joined in now." We'll manage."

"Viv died because of you..." said Mia.

It hit Marjorie like a slap in the face.

"Mia, that's not fair! Sorscha is a monster! She killed Viv!" said Reece, standing protectively in front of Marjorie.

"Reece, just shut up! All this shit only happened because Marjorie wanted to leave the house! If we'd stayed in the suburbs, Charlotte would still be alive and Vivian too!"

Marjorie couldn't listen to these accusations any longer. "Nobody could have known that, that would happen! You know what Mia, I should have just left you behind!"

The anger boiled inside Mia, all the pain of the last few weeks came to the surface. She had lost Char, was locked up and tortured. In Mia's eyes, Marjorie was responsible for the whole thing. An impulsive thought entered her head and before she knew it, she had pointed her gun at Marjorie.

But Autumn was quick and pulled her hand down. A shot was released. Winter pulled Carly away quickly.

"Damn it!" yelled Reece as he went down. The bullet had hit his knee.

Autumn threw Mia to the ground and held her tight.

"Reece!" Marjorie was quickly at his side.

" I'm alright." he said between gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry Reece!" Mia cried, tears already streaming down her face.

Reece slowly struggled back to his feet with the help of Marjorie.

The shot attracted something in the deep forest. The growling of some walkers could be heard and several of them emerged from the forest.

"We have to get out of here!" shouted Winter.

Autumn pulled Mia to her feet and dragged her into the vehicle. The rest quickly followed.
