Chapter 28 Terminus isn't what we thought

Rewritten

Bella's pov

The guy led us outside to where we saw a woman probably in her fifties cooking some sort of meat. It sure didn't smell anything like the meat I ate before, maybe it was a different type of animal? As we walked towards her we passed by flower beds, and some gardening tools. The woman smiled warmly at us, but something just didn't seem right. The way she looked at us, like we were some sort of animals.

"Looks like you've been on the road a while" she said still smiling. I tightened my grip on my crossbow, Rick definitely looked uneasy so I know I'm not the only one that has a sorta bad vibe about this place. Carl grabbed my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze locking eyes with my own.

As I glanced around I noticed that a guy behind the woman cooking had riot gear. Our riot gear from the prison. A few feet away from me another man had a watch like the one Hershel had given to Glenn before he was decapitated. My heart started beating faster. I looked behind me and saw a woman wearing Daryl's poncho. Oh no. This place they have our people I thought to myself worriedly.

I nudged Daryl and nodded my head towards the guy with our riot gear and then towards his poncho from behind us. He slowly raised his crossbow gripping it tightly. I went behind Rick trying not to cause attention towards myself.

They have our riot gear, Daryl's poncho, and Glenn's watch I whispered in his ear. He clenched his jaw and looked around. Coming back to his senses he raised his gun and put the guy who brought us out here in a headlock. Carl raised his gun to the woman behind us, I raised my crossbow at the woman cooking, Daryl raised his to a guy on the roof, and Michonne got her sword out ready to swing at anyone who comes close.

Rick pulled the watch out of the guys pocket, still holding his gun to the guys head.

"Where'd you get the watch!?" He yelled. A guy on the roof had his gun pointed at Rick, but Carl had his pointed at him.

"Where did you get the watch?" Rick asked again but not as loud as the last time.

"Got it off of a dead one" the guy said with his hands up. Bullshit. I knew he was lying especially since his voice got a little higher than when he last spoke to us.

"What about the riot gear, poncho?" Rick asked again moving his body so that the guy could see.

"Got the riot gear off a dead cop, found the poncho on a clothes line" Gareth said walking slowly up to us. Bullshit.

"Gareth we can wait" the guy said. What the hell was that supposed to mean? We can wait?

"Shut up Alex" Gareth said. Alex that's his name. I knew Rick knew that Gareth and Alex were lying, this place isn't what it's meant to be.

"Rick what do you want?" Gareth asked calmly staring him in the eyes.

"Where are our people?" Rick asked clenching his gun.

"You didn't answer the question" Gareth said. With one swift move Rick turned and shot Alex in the head. After that the bullets were flying. Carl shot one guy, and I shot one myself. I quickly loaded an arrow while all of us took off in a sprint. These people had terrible aim.

Rick was ahead of all of us and opened a door leading us all in. The gunfire outside had stopped. I glanced around the room. There were candles lit everywhere and bones scattered all over the ground.

What the hell kinda place is this? I asked to no one in particular. My gaze turned to a wall and on it, it had said We first always. I turned around and tried to go for the back door but the shadow of someone's feet appeared and I heard a click.

RUN I yelled. Then we all took off towards what seemed to be a front door and ran outside. As we ran outside we came to a big opening right in plain sight.

"Drop your weapons. NOW" Gareth said from on the roof top. We all hesitantly did so and laid our weapons on the ground.

"Ring leader go to your left. Train car go" Gareth said. Rick hesitated looking back at all of us.

"You do what we say, the boy goes with you, anything else he dies and you end up in there anyway" Gareth said. Rick looked at Carl before slowly walking to the train car.

"Now the archer" Gareth said. Daryl looked at me. The bruise on his eye clearly visible, he had small cuts on his face. He gave me a look. A look that felt like he thought that this was his fault. He looked down before starting to walk to the train car. He glanced back at me as he was about halfway there.

"Now the samurai" Gareth said. Michonne looked at Carl and then me. She started walking. Now it was just Carl and I. We looked at each other, my hands shaking ever so slightly. Our breathing was ragged from all of the running, and now it was probably just from fear. I looked down before meeting Carls eyes again.

I love you I mouthed to him.
