The Ruins Part 2 (Sequel to The Ruins)

Chapter 22

The sun is gone, night time arose. Negan wakes up before Mal was about to wake him, yawning and stretching his muscles. It was a good rest, now he is itching to go the tower, thinking that only little of the Claimers are around the are, including Simon the leader. He still kept his promise for Mal to use Ellie on Simon. He so would like to get a taste of clocking his head, the fury burning out of him of Mal being hurt by anther filthy monster. He can't. It's Mal's battle and she needs her release.

Packing everything they needed, Farina order Sarah many times, overprotecting her of demands. "Now we're gonna be moving fast, okay? So no matter what you stick like glue." Farina said, making sure Sarah caught every word.

"Like Glue," Sarah repeated.

"Like Glue."

"Got it," Sarah said.

"Good. Good." She patted her shoulder, walking up the group of Bounty Hunters. "Y'all ready?"

"Fence force to war, shining knight maiden." Queen Arnica replied.

Farina took point leading all them through the building at the late hour of the night, making no sound as possible. Mal has slight doubts that Farina knew what she was doing, but her assured that she did. When back down to the ground level, two Claimers stood by, talking about the loses and only now seven are alive, including Simon.

Silently, Mal and Farina come behind them and together smothered them to death. Outside all of the covered boulders, peaking out and sneaking by carefully they made it close to the walls. Suddenly a spotlight locked in the distance. One comes over to the wandering Infected. One at a time the band sneak across the street, avoiding the spotlight and embracing the darkness which was their best friend at the time until the reached the wall.

Willow used her bow to take out a lone guard on the ground, the arrow whooshed through the air and pierces right through the Claimers throat by the spotlight. He falls to the ground making gurgling sounds of choking on his own blood until he suffocates.

"Alright, we did it," Farina said, checking the clip in his pistol. "How many have you guys killed?"

"A fuck ton of them." Negan replied. "Now five more to go."

Coming up to the gate, Negan and the woman help Farina to open a shuttered gates. Suddenly headlights appeared, they hurried to shove open the gate and the kids ran through, then Mal, Arnica, and lastly Negan and Farina, closing the gate again then barred it. The only question was how long do they have before the door holds against the Jeep.

"Keep your eyes open, we ain't out of this mess yet." Negan breathed. He looks around to see half a latter on a semi's cargo hold. "Alright check it out!" He then helped boost Farina onto the cargo hold.

"We're good, Sarah let's go," She said.

Crash!

The Jeep was trying to break through the gate, Negan boosted Sarah then Max, the women, Jeremy, then Queen Arnica up on the cargo hold. The ladder broke off when Mal gripped onto it, but Sarah and Jeremy caught her and pulled her up.

"Okay, help me carry Negan," Mal said and she sees the look of panicked in Farina eyes, Claimers trying to break through the gate. Before she tries to scream at her, she shakes her head.

"I'm sorry. We're leaving."

"What?" Sarah gasped, but she pulled her away.

"You can't leave him!" Jeremy cried.

"No, just go. I could find a way out." Negan orders them, and Mal had enough. Farina had no trouble of leaving, the Queen and her people were hesitate but left when Negan shouted them out. Mal couldn't believe this, so she made a decision that she would never do in her life.
