The Walking Dead || 5SOS

Chapter 18

Ellie

Oh fuck...my head feels like shit.

I let my eyes peel open and try to focus on whatever got me here. Once my eyes got their vision back, they landed on the bitch that got us here, "Let me go." I hissed at her.

"Hm.. let me think about it. No." Arden smirked.

I want to kill her

I tried going after her but I knew she did the predictable,

she tied me up.

And I was the only one here which made me worry more about my friends.

"ARDEN I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU" I screamed at her. She was playing mind games with me.

"Oh what? Like how we killed your family?"

I could feel everything around me freeze. No, that wasn't true. My sister is still missing. My mom and dad died in a raid, "Stop thinking out loud..it's really fucking annoying." She rolled her eyes. She then continued, "And you're really stupid. Did you know that? Our parents knew each other. They all wanted to start the Keepers facility together. Except, they wanted different things. Your parents wanted some goodie goodie shit for it. Wanted to keep it as a safe haven or something for the immune. Which is a terrible idea in my opinion," She took a deep breath then went on, "My parents on the other hand actually came up with a great idea. In order to save humanity, take the blood of the immune and figure out the cure."

"You're lying. I would've remembered all this."

"No I'm not. Don't you remember your little drug mishap long ago? Getting kicked out? Don't you remember Eleanor? They thought you were dead which is why this whole fiasco started. They probably would still be alive if you never came back."

"I'm not the same person I was two years ago."

She took a deep breath, "You're wasting my time. Times up, literally."

"What are you talking about?" I could feel my heart beating out of my chest every step she took closer too me, "I didn't bring you to the keepers facility for nothing sweetheart but out of the pity-ness of my heart I'll let you see your good old friends one last time."

She held a knife to my neck while leading me down a hallway, "Make any funny moves and I won't hesitate to put this knife through your neck."

I gulped and let her lead me to wherever. We finally reached our destination, still keeping a knife at my neck, she opened a metal door. She switched on the lights revealing my helpless friends. Except for one person- Ali.

"You've got two minutes. Again, try something and I won't hesitate to call the guards to kill every single one of you." Arden threatened.

When she finally left the room, it seemed it but selfish of me but I ran over to Luke first.

"God I'm going to fucking murder her." I growled.

I hugged him and then gave at least one million hugs to all my friends, "Wait, I'm confused. Why didn't they take Calum? He's immune. Ali isn't."

They all looked at each other for a brief moment before Jemma continued, "W-we don't know why. Last thing we can remember is Arden came in, extremely pissed may I add, and snatched her without reason."

"We need t-" Michael started but was cut off by someone coughing.

"E-Eleanor?" Aaden called out.

Ali

My eyes shot up and I was greeted by an extremely bright light. I couldn't bring myself to move or talk, my body felt...numb.

"Are you sure she's the one?" A male voice whispered-shouted.

"Yes Debra, I'm positive. She's the one we've been looking for. She's the cure."

"Then we need to hurry. There's no time to waste."

The bodies ran over to me but we're instantly alarmed at the fact I was awake.

They're asking for a fight.

And I'm going to put one up.

I managed to sit up, "Lay one hand on me I will fucking rip off your throats."

They looked at each other and jumped for me. I grabbed a pair of surgeon scissors and stabbed the man in the eyeball. He dropped to the ground in agony, screaming bloody murder. The woman who was with him stopped and tried to help him- giving me my chance to book it and escape the room.

This place seemed oddly familiar. It finally hit me.

This was the hospital I woke up in three years ago.

Then I felt a gunshot go through me.

---------------------

Ellie

A boom clashed through the building but that wasn't my main focus. Laurence was, "L-Laurence.." I whispered.

"I'm alive.." He got up slowly and hugged me.

The door slammed open and Arden seemed way more upset than usual.

"Let's go princess. You're time is up."

"You aren't taking her anywhere." Luke snapped pushing me behind him.

Arden scoffed, "Yes I am. I intend to kill each and every one of you. Immune or not. And I'm going to fulfill that promise."

He only glared at her, "I mean unless you want her to end up like her."

She pulled Ali's gun.

"What did you do..." Michael whispered in horror

She loaded the gun and looked at Ashton.

"WHAT DID YOU DO" He screamed marching towards her.

"...The unthinkable."

I could feel a pit of anger growing inside me. I pulled out a knife I had intended to use on Arden, one way or another.

I tackled her. Kicking the gun out of her and stabbing her at the throat, repeatedly. I didn't realize I was sobbing when two hands, belonging to Laurence had to hold me back.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL" I screamed trying to escape Laurence's grip.

"Find your friend, I'll try to calm down Eleanor."

"IM FUCKING GLAD I KILLED YOU" I screamed at Arden's lifeless body.

Everyone, but Luke and Laurence ran out the room.

"LET ME GO" I screamed and kicked trying to escape both their holds.

I elbowed both of themand ran out the room.

Ali isn't dead. She's not dead. She can't be.

Footsteps patterned behind me but I finally stopped when I saw Ashton carrying a bloody Ali.

"She's gone."
