Bad Blood (Gabentine Fic)

Stupid Boy

"LINE THEM UP, LONNIE!"

4 people were lined up and shoved to their knees on the rough gravel of the junk yard by a older African American man. Two of the people were an older looking couple, a man with a beard and a woman with her hair in a braid. The other two were teenagers, a boy with an orange beanie and a girl with headphones around her neck. They were all looking distressed as a sock hat headed man paced back and forth in front of them with his finger on the trigger of his weapon and looking pissed off.

"Please, just let them go."

The man stopped his pacing and struck the bearded man with the butt of his gun on his temple as he tried pleading with him. The now wounded man cried out in pain and slouched to the ground as the woman beside him gasped in fear and went to help him.

"I wouldn't do that, sweetheart. Unless you want me to shoot one of the little ones and have one turn and eat the other as we watch."

The woman looked up as the sock cap headed man stuck his gun in the face of the teen boy, who looked at the ground with a deep scowl on his face. The woman shook her head and knelt back down in her original position.

"That's what I thought. Now, my name is Max and this here is my friend Lonnie. We were going to let you guys go, but you just had to go eat our fucking supplies. Now, we need something in return. Lonnie, don't you think boss would be so happy if we brought him more people to help out?"

The dark skinned man, Lonnie, nodded his head in agreement with Max.

"Not to mention the pretty ladies here."

Max walked away from the boy and turned to the girl by his side, nudging her head up with his gun and giving her a sinister smile.

"Especially this one. Tell me honey, how old are you and what's your name?"

The girl started to tremble in fear as Max spoke to her before stuttering out her answer.

"My n-ame is Mariana an-d I'm 14."

Max let out a low whistle and backed away from her, chuckling and turning towards Lonnie.

"Little young, Lon! We'll just have to wait on her because she'll be just ripe for the picking in a couple of years."

"You're not going to fucking touch her, asshole."

Max stopped laughing and turned back around to see the boy glaring up at him. Max squared up his shoulders at the boy and knelt down to his level before pulling out his knife.

"Let me guess, you're her over protective brother who wouldn't let anything happen to his sweet little Mariana?"

The boy only glowered at Max in hatred and spit in Max's eye.

"GABE!"

The man beside the woman finally recovered from the blow to his head and shouted at Gabe in anger. Max only chuckled as he wiped off the spit and looked at the boy, Gabe, with that same sickening smile from before.

"You know, you remind me of this little bitch we have back at home. The boss treats her like a fucking saint because she's his perfect little soldier but I think she's just a bitch with an attitude. I just can't have two fucking teenagers there or I'll just go fucking insane. You understand, don't you Gabe?"

"Go fuck yourself."

Max nodded his head before standing and motioned for Lonnie to come closer as he whispered in his ear. Lonnie agreed with Max and went back into their van before returning with a baseball bat. Max looked back down at Gabe and tilted his head as he looked the boy over.

"You'd make a fine soldier, boy. With a little discipline and beatings, you'd be a fucking killing machine."

"I'd rather die than to go with you two dipshits."

Max shrugged his shoulders and sighed in disappointment with Gabe's attitude before kneeling down once more before the boy with his knife drawn.

"Stupid boy. It didn't have to go like this, remember that."

Max sunk his knife into the neck of Mariana and twisted it as blood started pouring out. She started gurgling on the flow of blood in her mouth before her eyes rolled back into her head as Max pulled the knife out. Her body slumped over to the ground and the others were still in disbelief from what had just happened while Max stood and wiped the blood off on his pants.

"Boy, she is just fucking flowing with blood! Lonnie, did you see how her eyes rolled back? Fucking sick!"

The man with the beard snapped out of his disbelief and started to cry out.

"Mariana! NO! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU"

The man stood and moved to attack Max, but Lonnie swung the bat and knocked him out cold. The woman cried out as well before Lonnie did the same to her. Gabe still looked in shock at his sister's non moving form and tears began to stream down the boys face as he moved closer and held her in his arms.

"Mari? No, no, no, no, NO! Wake up! Come on, you gotta wake up! Please!"

Gabe began rocking her in his arms and clutched her bloody face to his chest as he sobbed. Max moved closer to Gabe and stuck his gun out for him to take.

"You don't want her coming back as one of them, do you?"

Gabe's watery eyes snapped to Max and to the gun with anger in them before he felt Mariana start to stir in his arms.

"Mmm."

"Mari?"

Gabe pulled her away from his chest to look down to see his sister's now clouded over eyes and Gabe shoved her away from him in shock and stood. Mariana groaned and rose up with blood still pouring from her sliced open neck, her trachea open wide and dangling for everyone to see. Gabe shook his head at the sight and started to gag as Lonnie just threw up behind him.

"No, Mari. I'm so sorry. Please don't make me do this. Please."

Gabe's pleads fell on dead ears as Mariana limped towards him and Max with her arms outstretched for them. Max grabbed Gabe's hands and made him grasp the gun as Mariana drew closer to them.

"Do it or I will!"

Bang!

Mariana fell to the ground with a hole in her forehead and Max cheered Gabe on for his nice shot before Gabe turned the gun on him.

Click!

Max smiled and twiddled his fingers at Gabe as he tried firing the gun but it just clicked over and over again, signalling that it was empty. Gabe threw the gun to the ground and went to tackle Max just as Lonnie hit Gabe with the bat over the back of his head. Gabe's eyelids slowly slid shut as he felt himself being picked up and thrown into the back of a truck before finally giving in to the pain and passing out.
