Borrowed Time | Ellie Williams x Male Reader

Chapter 6

A few hours later we arrived at our new place and built up all our tents before Steve and I were called into Zack's tent.

Once I entered his place, I saw the bodies of Glenn and Luke.

Zack: We still have to tell our crew that those two died, and I'm intending to show their bodies to our people.

Y/N: Wouldn't that lower the morale of our people?

Zack: It will only further fuel their hatred against the Saviors. But this is not the way I want to present their bodies. They still look too...peaceful.

Y/N: So what do you want us to do?

Zack: I want you to fuck them up a little.

Y/N: What do you mean by that?

Zack: Use knives, axes or other tools and slash them up. I want it to look like they got absolutely violated by the Saviors. It has to look like the Saviors are some real fucking savages, which they of course are.

Y/N: You can't be serious...

Steve: I kinda like that idea. Maybe Lee and Kenny would finally get that stick out of their asses and start to fight like real men.

Zack: Talking about Lee and Kenny, I sent them out to steal some alcohol from the Saviors and sell it in the town's bar, so that we'd get some caps.

Steve: And? How are they faring?

Zack: Kenny told me that Lee got taken away by some Saviors, it's not very clear where they're keeping him yet but it's somewhere out in the cornfields, that's why I sent out Arrow to get Lee back.

Y/N: They're getting kidnapped quite a lot, huh? First it was Jane, now it's Lee...who will be next?

Zack: Looks like they're just not made for this but they're working forces, so we need them. Anyway, like I said, mutilate these bodies and inform me when you're done.

He said before leaving the tent.

Steve picked up an axe and rammed it into Luke's lifeless body without hesitation.

Y/N: What the- you're not actually gonna do that, right?

Steve: Fuck yeah, I will, orders are orders.

Y/N: You can't be serious!

Steve: You wanna cry? Do it outside.

He said before swinging at the body once again.

Y/N: Fuck man, they were our friends!

Steve: They were part of the gang, nothing more. There are no friends here.

Y/N: And here I thought we were all brotherly and shit...

Steve: As long as you're alive, sure. But once you're dead, you're nothing.

I shook my head as I examined their bodies.

Y/N: They both got shot from behind...

Steve: Yeah, it was an ambush, like I said.

Y/N: Where were you at that moment?

Steve: A bit further in the front.

Y/N: Are you sure you weren't behind them, pulling the trigger and gunning them down?

This made him stop swinging the axe and look over to me.

Steve: Are you sure you're not asking too many fucking questions?

Y/N: Stop dodging them, give it to me straight.

Steve: You want it straight? Alright...

He threw the axe at me but I managed to dodge by diving to the side, making the axe cut through the tent.
