The Last Of Us

Chapter Twelve: Murderer

I feel my eyes get filled with tears which will flow out like water from a faucet at any second. My hands heavily shake as Carl's lifeless body laid still; his eyes looked right into mine like he would speak.

I shifted my gaze at Emma who was sitting right in front of me. Her tumescent puffy red eyes fixed on Carl's body. Tears rolled down her pale cheeks as she breathed heavily as she weeped. She opened her mouth like she is about to say something but fails.

"Ca-Carl." The word finally flow out of her mouth.

"Carl!" She shouted as she pulled Carl out from my arms and grasped him clinging him to her chest.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up to see Josh gazing down at me. His eyes puffed and red, stains of tears lined down his skin. He bent down and I let my tears out as he embraced me.

I move back as Harlan walked up to us. Grief took over his face as he spoke."There's a cemetery nearby. We can bury him there." He said and I nooded. "Jake,Aaron and Jared, come with me. Let's go and see if we can find something for a funeral." He said and started walking followed by Jake,Aaron and Jared.

I look at Emma and sadness took over my body as she cried. It's obvious for her to cry, it's her son.Maggie wiped away her tears and got out of the van and closed the door behind her before she started walking away. Emma stopped sobbing but she didn't talk to anyone. She behaved like we didn't even exist.

"Emma," I put my hand on her shoulders and say,"listen to me."

She didn't bother to answer or to look at me. But, after a few seconds she moved her head a little.

"You." Emma said with a heavy,dark voice as she slowly looked up at me. She looks horrible. Her red,swollen eyes filled with anger and sadness, her skin pale like I have never seen before.

"Emma?" I call her again all confused of why she

"It's you're fault!" She growled in a low voice.

"M-mine?" I ask,all confused and shocked of what she's saying. What's my fault? Carl's death, that isn't my fault.

"Emma, you should move away." I hear Harry say but Emma's eyes were eerily staring at me.

"Because of you my son died! You killed him!" She shouted.

"What? No, i-i didn't kill Carl!" I protest.

"Emma, move away!" Harry shouts and I look back to see him come.

I hear a low snarl and I look in front. Carl was moving, "Carl?" She said as got her ears near to Carl to listen.

"Emma, move!" I say as I try to push her away from Carl but she pushed me harder causing me to fall out the van. Thankfully,Josh caught me before I hit the ground but Emma looked closed and locked the van's door.

Harry came and tries to open the door. "Open it emma! Move away from him!" He says as he bangs on the window.

I get up start banging in the window and call out to her but she seemed to keep ignoring us. Glenn ran to other side and tried opening the door but Emma somehow had a knife on her and she kept trying to stab Glenn everytime he tried to open the locked door. All the chaos caught Maggie's attention who was a bit far but soon she came running towards us.

"I'm gonna break this side. Glenn keep her busy on that side." Harry said as he backed off and took out his gun. He used the back of the gun to hit. On his first attempt surprisingly the glass didn't break.

"No, move away!" She screamed holding Carl tighter this time as Harry tried to go for his second attempt.

Harry and Glenn both tried to break the glass and  when it finally did, it was too late.Carl moved more and he somehow moved his head up to her neck. A horrifying scream piecred through the air, blood splattered over window and everywhere inside.
