Running Alive

Chapter 3.5

Ashton's POV:

"Okay Riley's been taken care of and so is Connor. We're doing pretty damn well."Liam said, with a bit of enthusiasm in his voice. Then, we went out of our room and went straight to James' quarters. It's too quiet here. Usually, James would order shits to his goons and would always yell at 'em when they don't do what he wanted. That's like an everyday thing for him and for us too. "It's so damn silent here. Where the fuck is he and his shitty lads?" Louis said as he looked around, with a weapon on hand. Then Ghiel spoke with a low voice while we walked around the quarters, "We don't know what will happen next but, I want you to know that as soon as soon as we sneak up on him, you know what to do." We nodded and then I spoke, "Right so what if he--ughh!" I was quickly shut when I felt pain gush in me as a pointed object was stabbed on the right shoulder at my back. The knife pulled out harshly that caused great excruciating pain all over me.  

 Almost all of them backed away, "Shit! Ash!" Alyssa said as she knelt down on me and her hands are on my wounded shoulder. I looked up, only to see James holding a bloody knife, playing with it on his hand, "You never shoulda messed with me." He said as he looked at the knife. "It's sad to think that you're my best team... And my team betrayed me." he continued then looked at each one of us. "You know, I knew this would happen. With all of you acting strange around me almost every time. Tsk tsk tsk... You're all a disappointment in the United!" he angrily said then Ghiel spoke, "You're a fucking psycho! You killed a lot of survivors! And for what?! For yourself! You told the Redemption United that you're 'scavenging supplies' and was 'hardworking to look for it' when in reality you're murdering them!" with anger and fury in her voice. "I'm saving humanity!" "Saving? You call that saving? Fuck you, James! You're much worse than the walkers!" she shouted at him.

"It's over, James. You're one and we're seven. You can't fight us." Liam said. He smirked and while at it, Louis was stealthily sneaking up on his back while he was blabbering shit. "Can't fight you? Wait till you see--aghhh fuck!" we heard a gunshot and he screamed in pain. Turns out, Lou shot him in the leg. James fell down and cussed then he went straight for his belt to get his gun but before he could do that, Lou shot him on the other leg. Now he's handicapped. "You bastards!" he cussed and then Ghiel said, "Guys, you get out of here now. Wait for me outside." as she slowly picked up a crowbar lying on a bench near James. "But Ghiel--" I spoke then she cut me, "It's okay, Ash. You need to be stitched up. Help him up guys." Then Louis, Liam and Alyssa all helped me up and we headed straight for the door. I heard she and Brad talk and the last thing I heard from her was, "I'll only need a minute." Brad gave up and decided to catch up with us. 

What will she do?

Ghiel's POV:

My hands were trembling as I hold the crowbar on my hand. I held it so tight, my knuckles turned white. "I-I can see your e-eyes are filled with d-darkness." James spoke in pain and as if he was trying to hold back his agony. "Of course James. After all, this is your way of living. In darkness." I smirked. He was somewhat trying to get away from me and I never took my eyes off him. "Heh... Y-you're just acting tough. After all, y-you betrayed your friends. They th-think you're dead now. Too bad, they already loathed you for what y-you did." He smirked and tried to sit down. That angered me even more. 

"Also that guy Luke? Hmm, I shoulda had killed him and--" I couldn't it anymore and just smacked his face with the crowbar. He cussed and then I took another swing to his head. I kept smacking it in his head as though he was a walker. All I could think of is killing this guy. Blood splashed everywhere. On my clothes, on the floor, and on the wall. Heck, there's even a bit on my face. I really smashed this guy's head. It took me awhile before I stopped. The anger in me just surged throughout me and just whacked his head. I looked at his head to see his head caved in and his crushed brain showing. "Tch, that's what you fucking deserve." I said.
