Paul shook his head , he looked at Anton. His face and voice were filled with desperation , it was the same face he had when his sister died.
"I'm sorry Anton , but we can't go back there , we'll die. The cannibals have probably killed all the robots by now and Amy and the other guys are probably dead as well." said Paul shaking his head.
Anton didn't know how to respond.
"Lets go." said John. Paul helped Anton up and he , Anton , John , Jamie , Shelly , Mark , Ryan and Connor walked off towards the van that they left at the edge of the forest. After a while , they found it.
John climbed into the driving seat of the van. Everyone else got into the back. John started the ignition and drove off. Paul started to feel guilty , he had fucked up. All he had to do was knock out one cannibal but he ran. He felt like a coward , he didn't want to fight. He reminded himself that the cannibal was about to shoot him.
"Robots have rebelled , Elizabeth's dead , and now there are cannibals trying to kill us." said Paul.
They drove down the road , Shelly moved up to the passenger seat and held her gun out the window , just in case they came near any robots. Suddenly , a Crusher jumped in front of the van. John just managed to spin the van away from it. Everyone inside the van was thrown to one side. John was now trying to control the van as it spinned. Shelly aimed her gun at the robots head , she fired and got the Crusher between the eyes. John turned the van around and started driving again.
"I got it !" said Shelly.
The others laughed.
"Right between the ey-"
BLAM!!!!
Anton saw his ex girlfriend fall backwards into John , he didn't know what had happened until he saw blood , her blood. He saw where the blood was coming from , it was coming from the hole in her head. It didn't take Anton a second to realise that Shelly had been shot.
Ryan jumped out of the van and saw a man standing at the edge of the forest with a sniper rifle. Ryan knelt down on one knee , took aim at the mans head and shot. The man fell to the ground dropping his sniper rifle. Ryan stood up and got back into the van.
Paul was too shocked to be upset. He felt dizzy , this was too much. He fell onto his hands and knees outside the van and vomited. He watched as the remains of his last meal splattered all over the ground. Anton walked out of the van and over to him. Anton was obviously sad that Shelly was dead , even though she cheated on him.
"C'mon , it's okay , we're going now." said Anton.
He hugged his older brother.
"I'm fine."
"Good." said Anton.
He was about to say something else but didn't because he heard a loud noise , a familiar noise , he watched as his brother fell to the ground in front of him , then he recognised the noise , it was that of a gunshot.
Anton froze , Paul was on the ground with his eyes shut. He had a huge hole in his shoulder which was bleeding. Anton roared and took out his gun , he saw a man in a tree with a sniper rifle. He fired two shots at him. The man fell out of the tree , dead.
Paul woke up in his bedroom , he saw John, Anton and Isabella. He smiled , he thought to himself , it was all a dream , a stupid dream. But it had all seemed so real , the gunshot , the Crusher attack , all of it.
"Huh , what's going on ?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"You were shot." Anton told.
"Oh yeah , who shot me ?"
"A cannibal."
"What happened to the cannibal ?"
"I........I shot him."
"Is everyone else okay?" Paul asked.
"Yeah , we haven't had Shelly's funeral yet." said Anton.
"Why not ?"
"Two reasons , one , we didn't want you to miss it and two , .......Marty needs to be here." Anton said.
"So , I'm going out to save him and the others , John said it's okay , I'm bringing Ryan , David , Gary , Mark and Connor."
"No , don't go."
"I have to." Anton said walking to the door. "Don't worry , I'll come back."
He went to the main hall where Ryan , Gary , David , Mark and Connor were waiting for him. They loaded their guns and set off. They took the van to the edge of the forest. Then they walked into the forest , guns at the ready. All they had to do was walk straight until they smelt rotting flesh. It didn't take them long to find the camp. As always , there was only one guard. Anton told his rescue team about his plan.
"Okay , I'll sneak around the back , Connor will come with me , Ryan , Mark , Gary and David will stay here to distract the cannibals if they find me and Connor."
"Sounds like a plan." said Ryan.
"Mark , if they do attack us , kill the sniper first."
"Okay."
"Alright , lets go."
Anton and Connor sneaked into the cannibals camp. They ran past the stones around the fire , they ran past the tents and came to a caravan with the windows blocked by planks of wood. The door had a padlock on it. Anton tried taking the padlock off. But he couldn't. He looked up at the sniper in the tree. He saw a key hanging from his belt. He sighed.
"What's wrong ?" asked Connor.
"I think the sniper has the key to open this caravan."
"Are you sure Amy and the van survivors are even inside this caravan ?"
"Yeah , one of the windows isn't fully blocked and I could see Keith.
"Right then , lets try and get that key."
