While the others went outside, Gabriel, Judith, Rosita, Eugene, Bob, Tyreese, Carl and I all hid in Gabriel's office. I was sat with Judith while Carl took watch on the door to make sure these cannibals don't find us.
Eugene and Rosita filled me in of what happened before and apparently they were kidnapped after they arrived at their 'safety'. Some were in these trailers and others, like Rick, were taken to a slaughter room. But Carol saved them when she blew up the place. I guess that was the smoke I saw yesterday.
As we all waited desperately, I was playing with Judith trying to keep her calm. Carl was annoying me by tapping his fingers on his holster. I could tell he was nervous.
"Hey, you okay?" I whispered as I sat down next to him. He nodded his head and looked away from me. "Carl, are you sure? You're not being yoursel-"
"I'm fine!" He whisper yelled and walked away to the other side of the small room. What was his problem? I'm annoying him. I should keep out of his way. God, boys.
We all sat in quiet until we heard the front door being pride open. I don't know if it's Rick and the rest of the group or it was the Terminus people. Carl put his gun towards the door ready to attack. Gabriel sat in the corner praying.
"Well I guess you know we're here." A voice shouted. It was diffidently not Rick. "And we know that you're here. We're armed. So there's no point in hiding anymore." There was a slight pause before we heard foot steps. "We've been watching you. We know who's here. There's... Bob, unless you put him out of his misery already. And Eugene. Rosita. Martin's good friend Tyreese. Carl. Carl's sweet little girlfriend, Mary." This made me tense. I grabbed my gun out stood up as quietly as possible and held my gun towards the door. "Judith. Rick and the rest walked out, with a lot of your guns. Listen we don't know where you all are but this isn't a big place. We're gonna stop this now before things get more painful. "
After that they're was a long pause again, before someone started rattling the door knob. "Look, you're behind one of these two doors and we've got more than enough fire power to take down both. Can't imagine that's what ya'll want. What about the priest!? Father, if you help us wrap this up we'll help you walk away from this." Gabriel was now hid in the corner praying again and Carl rattled around with his gun and fixed his posture. "Just open the door and go, you can take the baby with you. What do you say?"
I closed my eyes and waited for him to burst through the door and kidnap us only, that didn't happen. Judith let out a cry. Carl gave his gun to me and went over to Judith in a hurry.
"That's your last chance to tell us that you're coming out!" We all stayed quiet including Judith. The door was just going to be open until we heard gun shots.There was mild muttering that sounded like Rick and Gareth until there was a gun shot and a very girl like scream.
"Do what he says!" Garth shouted weakly. "Martin there's no choice here!"
"Is everyone okay?" I whisper shouted to everyone. They all nodded and we walked out into the main room were the rest of the group was. People were knelt down with their weapons on the floor. It was quiet, except for the whimpers of Judith and Gareth.
Rick was in front of Gareth with a gun in his face. "No point in begging, right?" Gareth managed to get out.
"No." Rick was annoyed. I could see the look on his face when he said that. Carl tensed up so I held his hand. He looked at me but with tears in his eyes. He didn't like his father being in danger, but he can trust him enough to know that he'll be fine.
"Still you could have killed us when you found us, there has to be a reason for that."
"We didn't want to waste the bullets."
"We used to help people, we saved people. Things changed. They came in and..." Gareth broke out into tears of pain and for a second I felt sorry for him. Only for a second. "After that...? I know that you've been out there but I can see it. You don't know what it is like to be hungry. You don't have to do this, we can walk away... a-and we'll ever cross paths again, I promise you."
"But you'll cross someone's path. You do this to anyone... and besides, I've already made you a promise." And then Rick pulled out his machete and hacked Gareth to death. I guess that was a signal for the rest of them to do as well.
I looked straight ahead into nothingness until I couldn't hear the screams and cries anymore. These people are dangerous. Who knows when they will kill me. I'm not safe here. Rick could kill me if I disrespect him. But Carl makes me feel safe, like when I'm around him the world is peaceful not a war zone.
Blood was splattered everywhere. All on the walls. Bodies covered the floor. Gabriel, Glenn, Maggie, Carl and I all stood there in shock.
"T-this is the Lord's house...!" Gabriel said in horror.
"No, it's just four walls and a roof." Maggie said in a low whisper. She looked shocked as well but I bet she's seen this type of stuff before. There's no doubt about it. Everybody has seen something, something that's stuck in their mind. Mine was killing Uncle Chris. This though, comes as a close second.
Nobody is innocent anymore.
