Three Dixon's

Chapter 59:

Days later...

I open my eyes and see the 'hospital' room of Pete

"She's awake!" I hear someone shout.

I turn towards the voice and see Charlotte with a smile across her face.

"Thank god your okay. I found you passed out in a bed and Carl was there...i-i thought he.." she pauses as her smile falls

"I thought he tried killing you or something" says Charlotte

I immediately know what she's thinking.

"No! He didn't do anything! I slipped and fell on glass" I say as I defend Carl

Charlotte is about to say something but this lady walks instead.

"It's good that your awake...." says the lady who was slightly big in the hips.

"Um...hi...where's pete?" I ask the lady I swore I never saw

"He..died" says the Lady.

I frown as I look over at Charlotte.

"She'll be fine. Just go I'll explain" says Charlotte to the lady

The lady nods as she excuses herself.

I look over at Charlotte who takes my hands into hers.

"Rick is dangerous. He killed Pete and has been causing so much problems in the community..Reg in the process died from a rampage of pete...Reg died painfully" says Charlotte

The thought of Reg makes me gasp...the man who built these walls and basically guided me was dead.

"Also this kid named Noah died..he was with your group and Nicholas killed him supposedly.." says Charlotte

I suddenly feel tears..why'd they have to come..

"And Aiden...he's dead" says Charlotte

This was bad..

"Now get some rest please...its already been a few days since that" says Charlotte who kisses my forehead and walks out.

Was she crazy! How could I sleep!

The thoughts of their deaths flooded my mind causing me to freak at the ideas.

I sighed but the sudden sizzling sound surprised me. Then the sounds of screams erupted.

I immediately grabbed my crutches and jumped up despite my dizzy mind and thoughts.

Suddenly a guy runs in and he has a blade at hand and is covered in blood and dirt.

He runs towards me and my instinct kicks in, causing me to drop one of my crutches and use the other one to smack him as hard as I can as he falls back in pain.

I grab his weapon and I'm about to give him the kill shot when he grabs my bad leg and trips me.

I cuss loudly as pain sears through my body.

The guy jump on me and pulls a switch blade but a gun shot erupts and causes the guy to fall on top of me.

"Are you okay?!?!" asks Carl who holds an automatic i believe.

"Shit no" I say as I feel pain in my ankle again

"Can you get up atleast?" asks Carl

I nod and use my crutches to get up but I drop them when it hits me that we're under attack.

"Do you have some thing else on you?" I ask

He pulls out a blade and I immediately take it.

"We need to leave now. Go to a house and lock ourselves in" I say as I run out the best I can.

Blood can be seen on the roads as I grip my knife. People litter the grounds with gashes on the stomach and their arms and legs severed.

This makes me look away as I notice Carl running.

I run behind him but something forces my ankle to bend. I cuss in pain as I fall to the ground and feel the hard road. Carl keeps running which makes me force myself to turn around only to make contact with another person.

The guy smiles as he holds a Machete. This causes me to cower since my switch blade was far away from me due to the fall.

"Hailey!" I hear someone shout.

The guy looks behind me as a girl with black hair tackles him, barely missing the blade.

"Charlotte!" I shout as the guy swings at her.

She keeps her focus as she also has a Machete but she loses it slightly when she looks over at me.

She frowns but everything else happens quickly..

+++

She suddenly screams in pain as I notice the guy slice her Stomach.

I immediately grab her Machete she dropped and slice his leg as I kill him through the head.

Charlotte lays on the ground as blood quickly seeps through her shirt.

"Oh God, C-Charlotte" I stutter as I don't know what to do. I put the machete down and know not to move her.

"H-hailey..." she whispers but groans in pain as She holds her stomach

"I-I'm sorry for the pain i caused you............For what I've done.......you mean so much to me.....I just wish I had you because...I......Lov-" she suddenly stops as her breathing does to. Her chest no longer elevates and neither does her train of thought as the future she was supposed to have is taken away and forcefully yanked away with no other choice for her to continue. Another life taken due to the Apocalypse. Again its taken someone I cared and I knew not to cry but for her...she meant something important...something more.

The tears in my eyes no longer held as I grabbed her lifeless body and sobbed loudly into her chest.

"Charlotte!" I shouted loudly as I whimpered and cried. Pain everywhere but i didn't care as one of the people I cared about now lay dead in my arms...dead and not breathing..taken away from me just like Merle and Hershel...this wasn't supposed to happen....this was an  area where safety was. Where everything was away from those things out there..this was never supposed to happen.

I look down at Charlotte who laid in my arms with the gash still opened widely. This was the pain she had to go through. The pain she had to bare as the light was taken away from her and what caught me the most was that she said her last dieing words to me..despite me being the person I am towards her. The blood covering me now was supposed to be mine and not hers. She deserved to live and I didn't but this death causes a flame to burn out and a beating passion start.

I was going to kill them all.

*************************************

I'm going to be honest this chapter actually got me sad despite me writing it...it kills me that I did that to Charlotte...
