Survivor (Book #1 of the Survival Series)

Chapter Seventeen

---Juli's P.O.V---

I woke up in a small room with my hands tied, I looked around and saw Michonne and Hershel not to far away. I don't really remember how I got here. All I know is that my head really hurts-

**Flashback**

I ran out of Carl's cell with tears in my eyes. It's hard for me too but it's for the best. Before I knew what I was doing I was outside just walking. I felt that I didn't have my katana, and I know I don't have my gun that I gave to Luke. But, I carried a smaller gun in the back of my pants. I walked down to the gates. I don't know why but something drew me there, I knew Michonne and Hershel weren't too far burning Walkers. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Brody. He held his hand I hesitated for a moment before taking it, i don't know what it was but i couldn't walk away from him, I was dawn to him.  He led me out the gates and down the road to where Michonne and Hershel came into view. I looked to Brody, he didn't say anything, his eyes stayed glued to the scene in front of us. I looked back to see a man emerge out of the woods. Before I could scream or yell a hand clamped over my mouth. I watched Michonne fall to the ground motionless and a gun pointed at Hershel. Brody shoved me forward and I heard Hershel pleading.

"Don't hurt her," He pleaded, "Don't hurt the girl."

The man with the gun smiled. I squirmed to get out of Brody's grip but he was too strong. He handed me over to the man with the gun and eye patch. I tried to get out.

"Stop moving." I felt cold metal on my forehead. I stopped. I wasn't ready to die. "That's it, do it the easy way." his voice sounded soothing. "You're just going to come with us." My mind traveled to Luke, I wasn't about to leave him. I put my hands behind my back. I stepped on the guys foot and pulled the gun out.

"No, listen to me. I'm not going." I growled

"Of course you are sugar." Brody said in a cheesy southern accent. "You're coming with me and Brian."

"No I'm not." I growled.

**Reality**

Then, my vision went black and now I'm here. I looked around again trying to get a sense of where we were. It looked like a trailer or mobile home. Michonne stayed silent but Hershel looked as though he was dying for conversation.

"So Hershel." I broke the silence, "Do you have any kids at the prison?"

"Yes. Maggie and Beth are my daughters." He answered. He kind of reminded me of Santa Claus. "And my niece is there to."

"Who's your niece?" I asked

"Fay, your best friend. She never told you about me?" Hershel asked. I rummaged through my brain trying to remember if Fay had ever mentioned an uncle.

"Did you live on a farm?" I asked. Hershel nodded. "So wait! Fay's at the prison?!" I asked excitedly.

He nodded. "She came just after we arrived. She always talked about you." He smiled.

"Enough chatter." Michonne said quietly. I looked at her.

"Michonne. What's wrong?" I asked. She looked over with a hard glare but it softened.

"I know the man who captured us. Juli, he isn't a good man. Don't let him fool you." Michonne warned. "He says he's doing it for the good of everyone but he's not." She paused then looked directly into my eyes, "Do not, let him fool you."

"Michonne, I don't understand." I said quietly seeing that there was people outside. "What do they want with us?" I asked

"He wants me most. Hershel just happened to be there." Michonne said quietly.

"And me?" I asked

"Well it seems Brody has a little thing for you." A voice answered. I turned to see the man with the eye patch in the doorway. "What's your name sweetheart?" I didn't answer. "I said, what's your name?" He slapped me.

"J-J-Juli" I whimpered. My face stung and I knew it was red.

"See, how hard was that?" He asked

"W-What do you want with me?" I asked holding back the tears. But then an idea came and I let them slide down my face. I remember if you look innocent they may take it easy on you. But, then again I pulled a gun on them...it's worth a shot.

"It's not really me that wants you." He answered in a soft voice. He wiped the tears off my face. "It's Brody." He whispered.
