Glaggie-What Is Home

Ch. 13 Cells

Glenn POV

I stare down at the limp body of Jacob, and instantly knew what I had done.
Holy shit you killed him
Part of me hurt, I can't believe I beat him to death, and I felt absolutely nothing.
No sorrow
No pain
Nothing
Nothing but hatred, and anger
My eyes went from the body up to Maggie's eyes.
She was staring at me, not In horror or terror but in complete surprise. I had never killed someone alive before. I work on untying my other hand, it shook trembling.
She continues to struggle against her binds, I could practically hear the rope cutting her skin and I say shakily "Maggie. Stop struggling..."
She stopped as told and says "g-Glenn where are we?"
"I dont know. I don't care. I just want to get us out of here" I reply staring down as I lean down to get off the shackles around my ankles
"Where's the group?" She asks dropping her head back on the table with a thud
"Cells...we have to go get them" I sigh realizing we couldn't just get out and run
I get up out of the chair, there were tear stains on Maggie's cheeks, tears still streaming. As I start to untie her I see the deep red marks, her raw wrists and ankles. As I get her wrists untied she tries to sit up, before she hisses. Probably from her spine which was in much pain I'm sure.
I undo her ankles quickly swooping down, I kiss her once, before collecting the trembling and sobbing woman in my arms. I sit on the edge of the table, hushing her, trying to calm her as I kiss her head stroking her hair out of her face.

Maggie POV

I couldn't stop the tears from flowing, they just kept falling. The sobs were stuck in my throat, Glenns reassuring hand was stroking my hair, his other tightly on my waist.
"G-Glenn I'm s-so sorry" I cry into his shoulder
"For what? You shouldn't be Maggie. I should be. I'm sorry, I can't believe he did that...I should've done something earlier"
"There w-wasn't anything you could d-do..."
He suddenly shifts looking down at me
"That's not true...there had to be something...nevermind that, let's just work on getting out of this dumbass compound"
I nod in agreement, slowly pulling from Glenns hold, looking down at myself, still nude.
I caught his eyes wander up my body, slowly, checking me out before he snaps out of it and gets up, collecting the hospital gown off the floor "this is the best I can do for you right now...I promise I'll get you some real clothes"
Part of me thought he was doing it so that he could stare at my ass, the other part of me knew it was true. But just to entertain, I pull it on and walk in front of him to the door, wiping away my tears, swallowing my sobs for another time.
I peak out the small window, there was nothing, not even a civilian. "C'mon the coast is clear.." I whisper slowly pulling the door open
Glenn was out the door, grabbing my hand in a heartbeat, pulling me out of the room carefully.
He looks down the hall "I came from that way" his eyes stuck there for a moment "there weren't any cells..." He glances down the other way "I think we should go this way" he says
He looks to me for my opinion and I nod slightly, it hurt to stand up, the pain spreading down my spine and back. My whole body seemed to be stiff. Glenn could tell I was in pain because I felt his arms go around me for a moment, before he picks me up bridal style and starts to rush down the hall.
"Glenn I can-"
He cuts me off and says "Ive got you, your not heavy, and this will get us moving quicker"
His eyes shot to me for a moment, and I pull my arms around his neck for support with a quiet sigh, looking around making sure nothing was coming.
Then I heard footsteps, other then Glenns, and looked back. There she stood, the redhead girl, her face was tear streamed
"Y-you killed him" she says quietly but loud enough for us both to hear
Glenn stops abruptly, and turns to look back slightly, I could see the look on his face. He hated himself, couldn't believe what he'd done
"Don't let her get t-to you Glenn" I say tightening my grip on him "you were protecting yourself, you did what you had to do"
The girls green eyes were wide, in horror and I notice the silent tears sliding down her cheeks. Glenn slowly set me down, and I look to him, letting go of him.
"Caitlin I-I didn't mean to...look he was doing the worse-"
"I don't fucking care! You killed him!" She screams suddenly, her eyes were bloodshot and watery.
She suddenly raises a pistol, her hands shaking and trembling. Glenn starts to walk towards her, holding his hands out "please...please forgive me"
"Glenn!" I shout suddenly, and Glenn looks back at me, I could see the regret in his eyes, and I knew immediately what he was going to do. I close my mouth and look down for a moment, knowing the girl wasn't going to shoot.
Glenn looks away, walking closer
"Take another step and I'll shoot you!" Caitlin cries, Glenn continues stopping in front of her, taking the gun out of her hands carefully and hushes her "calm down...it's going to be ok" he says
I look up, just as he shoots her, between her eyebrows, she sinks to her knees and falls forward. Glenn catches her body and says "she wasn't a bad person...just was misguided..."
I was shocked, surprised, I had never seen Glenn kill anyone. And today, I saw him kill two. Probably the first people he'd ever killed. I watch him as he turns, his eyes and his expression showed many emotions.
Regret
Sorrow
Hatred
So many others, all i could say is
"Glenn...you did the right thing, it's gonna be ok...I know it's hard..." I take a few steps forward, pulling my arms around him, his head dropping into my shoulder. "You were protecting me..." I whisper against his ear
"Are you ok?" He asks, I know he was trying to get off the subject, and I let him slide
"Y-yes...the real question is are you?" I ask, standing there, his arms wrapping around my waist, as he speaks, avoiding my question
"Is the baby ok?" He asks, his voice was shaky, I look over his shoulder to see the dead girls body, face first in the stone floor
"I-I don't know" I felt my face heat up, my vision becoming blurry from tears
"It's gonna be ok...it's gonna be ok Maggie" he whispers
I held onto those words, hiding my face in his shoulder, the dead girls body imprinted in my mind, Glenns face engraved in my brain.
