Alexandria Part Two

Chapter Nine

It wasn't long after the others left to go infiltrate the compound that Carol, Maggie and I were ambushed by a heavily armed man. He grabbed Maggie and held her in a choke hold with a gun at her temple. Carol shot the man in the arm sparing his life. I went to shoot him again but this time make it more brutal but Carol stopped me.

"What?" I asked her annoyed that she got in the way.

"It's not worth killing for." Carol told me and I sighed lowering my arm but keeping my guard up at all costs. I knew I should have shot him dead, more Saviours came up behind us and put a bag over our faces so we couldn't see. They were dragging us off somewhere. I didn't know where but I kept kicking and screaming trying to get free but had no such luck.

We didn't even move very far, but then the bags were pulled off. We were still near the compound and one of the ladys were watching through some binoculars at Rick and the others in the Savious compound garden.

She snatches the radio from one of her colleagues and radios through to the now dead saviour at Rick's feet. "We've been watching you Rick." He started off.

"Who is this?" He asked in his rough threatening voice and I looked to Carol out the corner of my eye and she nodded slightly.

"You'll have to come find out but before you do, I think you should know that we have-" She paused and looked at the three of us being held back by other Saviours. "What's your name?" She asked with a glare.

I refused to answer and so did Maggie. We were both young and stubborn but it was Carol who spoke up for the three of us. "I'm Carol, she's Maggie." She said pointing to Maggie and then looked at me. "She's Lexi."

"We have a Carol, Maggie and a Lexi." Paula radioed through.

"How about a trade? You give us back our girls and we give you Primo." I looked at Carol and Maggie in confusion who or what was Primo? Maggie nodded her head tot he gate and to the saviour on the floor and I nodded in understanding.

"We'll have to get back to you. But for now, We're taking these three with us. I think you should consider carefully what you're next step is." She said and turned off the radio and pulled the three of us into a car. My hands were now bound behind my arms just like Carol and Maggie. I heard her radio through for some more backup before we were bagged once again.

I don't know how long I was in the car for or how long we were driving for but finally we were unbagged but they left our hands bound before bringing us into a slaughterhouse from the ok of things. They threw us in a makeshift prison and gagged us. I wasn't worried for me or Carol, it was Maggie I was worried about. She was pregnant and definitely didn't need this stress. Sh should have stayed back in Alexandria and maybe I would feel okay about being taken by some saviours. I just wanted to know what we had gotten into making the offer with Hilltop.

We were left alone for a moment and Maggie was trying to cut her ties, Carol was beginning to panic or it was apart of the weak act she puts on for people. I still wasn't sure and she did it alot. I was sat there just watching the others thinking of a plan to get out of here. We needed to get Maggie to safety and even if I died, I knew I would have died to save not one but two people.

I looked to Carol as I heard her breaths get heavy as the others returned. Both Maggie and I looked at each other unsure of whether she was truely panicking or puttiing on the act. Maggie and I screamed muffle screams through the gags. We wanted them to get these gags off us so we could talk and actually make sure Carol was okay.

Eventually, I had screamed so uch that Paula removed the gag from my mouth. "What?" She asked annoyed.

"Can't you see her panicking?" I screamed harshly. "You need to take the gag out and let her breath. Come on, she's not as young as us." I persuaded and I saw her contemplate it before following through pulling Maggie's out as she walked past over to Carol. Carol heaved and prayed under her breath. I nodded at Maggie, this was deinfitely an act. Carol didn't pray.
