Ch45 Save The Last Bullet For Yourself

Rory's POV

Right now, I'm walking alone on the railroad, with Max, for me to get my Hummer back. "Fetch!" I threw my tennis ball towards the direction that I'm heading at.

"Good boy" I said as Max gave me the ball. "It's probably a day or so for me to get that, eh?" I told Max realizing on how far I left my Hummer. It's approximately three or five days far. "Maybe I should've bought Michonne or someone with us." I said.

"Rory!" I heard a faint voice coming from behind. I turned around and there I saw Michonne running towards me. "I thought you don't wanna come?" I chuckled as she caught up to me. "I never said that. You just suddenly left." She said. Well, sorry my mistake. 

"Why did you even left your Hummer there when you know that you're going to a far place?" She asked me and I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows. "Drive a huge truck on a railroad with small land spaces for it to drive through." I said and she kept doing this annoying surrender stance. 

"Speaking of drivivng through small land spaces with a huge truck, how is your Hummer gonna fit in?" She asked me. "Look, I've been living in  that cabin for weeks everytime we go hunting and I already memorized all of the possible track that my Hummer go through." I said. 

Anyway, I noticed myself speaking to Michonne in a different way. She's more like a friend... I know that a friend but much more of like being Bea and the Hawkies type of friendship... I ain't talking to her like she's Rick with the "Sir" things. Know what I mean?

"I wanna tell you that you're a lucky kid." She ruffled my hair and I glared at her. "What do you mean?" I asked her as I fixed my hair in a ponytail. "You have this "ability" to keep yourself  being a kid." I gave her a confused look.

She sighed. "What I meant is that you can still maintain your attitude and your mind as a kid. A normal kid. You never change." She told me. "I did changed alright?" I said. "You're not in your real conscious mind." She said as she patted my head. "I know that but... after that." I said and she gave me a confused look. "After?" She asked me. 

"You see? After the prison attack, I ended up with Lizzie and the other kids. We found a couple of people and took them in. A few days, I guess. We saw this school that used to be an evacuation area and there we found other people trapped inside a room. A few weeks, we'd gone hunting and I've been shot by my old teacher. When I was being operated, there were fights about the leadership on who's gonna take over." I said. "Who's the leader anyway?" She asked me. "I was the main leader and there's the council. Now one friend of mine want to take over and he thought that I was in a coma. He doesn't want Bea nor Joshua or the other council members. Now, he thought that I was in a coma and then Lizzie came on the stage and I saw him pointed a gun at her. I quickly ran to the stage and bumped him very hard and pointed my gun at him and shot him without further hesitations." I said.

"Are you kidding me? You did the right thing." She said. "Well, are you kidding me? I could've just placed him in a dark detention room or maybe lock him up or I could maybe just banish him from the community but I didn't... I shot him. Seeing him hopeless, helpless,. begging, scared." I said.

"I'm a monster, Michonne." I told her. "You are not a monster. Everybody can go through those things." She said. "Look, back in the past before the apocalypse, we moved to Atlanta and I changed. I stole money and I was troubled. But not troubled with any drugs or alchohols or cigars. I was just.. troubled. You think I'm troubled back then?" I asked her. "I have other definitions for troubled, alright? You killed em with a reason." She said. 

"I killed Martinez because of a leadership. Look, kicked Joshua, Carol, and, Daryl's ass when they tried to rescue me when I forgot them." I said and Michonne laughed. "You kicked their asses? Seriously?" She laughed again and I smirked at myself. "I never heard a thirteen year old kicked a tough redneck, a one-handed guy, her boyfriend, and a fully grown woman's asses before. Well, except for the boyfriend part." She joked.

"Boy, I'm getting tired. We'll be lucky if we'll find an abandoned, fully functioning car with complete gears." I said. 

~o~O~o~

We later on ended up on a road with a couple of cars and there were a couple of houses so I figured out to "Let's check it out" I told Michonne as me and Max walked towards the cars.

"Do you even know how to trick a car out?" She asked me. "That's why I'm stealing in, Michonne." I said as I took out the antenna again and looped it in a ring and did the same procedure again when I found a Mustang before.

"Opening the door. Check." I said as I lay down under the steering wheel and tricked it out. "Where'd you learn to trick a car?" She asked me. "YouTube" I answered plainly. "Kids these days." She said. "Just kidding. They thought us how in GSMA." I said as I pulled out a couple of wires. "Being in a militia is really your passion is it?" She asked me. "Yup" I answered plainly.

"Be careful to those wires anyway. The last time I've been through that, an alarm set off." Michonne said. "You tried to steal a car?" I asked her. "I didn't try to steal it. Merle did." She said. "Daryl's brother." I said. "You know?" She asked me. "Yup." I said again. "Someone told you?" She asked. "Nope. But I saw him a lot of times before." I said. "How?" She asked again. "Jubilee" I said. "He's actually a nice guy when it comes to kids" I said. "Really?" She asked. "Yuh" I said like the way I'm saying 'duh'

"So, you two are close friends?" She asked. "We were until they moved my post to Atlanta again." I said. "We were great friends, y'know? Until my psychotic dad shot him." I said and the car started. "Booyah" I said. "Y'know what? The last that I've done this, I also accidentally switched the alarm on." I said.

"We're probably gonna be there for a few hours." I said. "Thank goodness you found this car. Or else, we could still be walking for a few days." Michonne said. "Why is your Hummer important to you anyway?" Michonne asked me. "Because I left my other guns there." I said. "Why'd you left it?" She asked me. "Be-cause. I was thinking that if I'm in Terminus, I could probably get my Hummer back." I said.

~o~O~o~

"We're almost there.... We should walk." When the car started to run out of fuel.

"There it is!" I said as I got a glimpse of my Hummer. We were walking towards it until I heard Max growled. "Hold him." I told Michonne. I sneaked to my Hummer and the next thing I know. I kid is pointing a sword at my neck. He's probably twelve. "We're not enemies, kid." I said as he deepened his sword.

"You don't have to do this." I said and he lowered his sword a bit. "Now!" I said as Michonne snatched his sword and I knocked him down. 

How the hell did a twelve year old kid! Managed to have a Katana?!

"Get in the Hummer!" I shouted at Michonne as I thre her my keys. "That Hummer's claimed already." He told me as I let him go and the two of us stodd up. I was a bit taller than him. He's wearing a black tshirt and has a number 50 that's colored red in the middle. "No one's claiming that Hummer but me." I told him. "I don't think so!" He tried to walk close to me but I placed my hand on my holster as a threat that I will shoot him if he gets close. 

"Look, that doesn't mean if you're a kid a won't shoot you." I threatened him. "Now, lookie here. If you're gonna follow us to our camp and caused trouble or even if you didn't caused any trouble but still followed us, Here's my last piece of advice, Save The Last Bullet For Yourself but if you didn't and attacked us. Keep this in mind. I'm gonna stick my bolt right through your brain." I said. 

I grabbed his Katana from Michonne and gave it back to him. "Keep that in mind." I told him again. I was just gonna get in until gunshots came raging on me. I looked at them and the kid rushed to a man that has white hair and I got in my Hummer and turned  my direction towards them and drove through them.

Alrighty guy. RG here and there's this kid named Zach and told me to put him in the story and so I did. Hope ya'll like the chapter anyway.
