Apocalyptic Me

1.12 taking breaks

We've been looking for an entrance for the past couple of hours and the only entrance or weak spot we've found are the gate and one bar that's a little bend. We all return to the main gate. I keep looking at the gate, maybe if we had some explosives we could blow it up, but there's a high possibility that wouldn't work, but it would also attract rotters. I look at the others talking in a group. I walk around the RV to look around for maybe some sort of fight. Max or Annabelle wouldn't be taken without a fight. I look down at the road for maybe blood or bullets. Nothing. I continue walking into the field next to the road. I look around me and see a rotter laying on the ground. I walk towards it and roll it on it's back. It's wearing some heavy armor. I look at his belt and see some sort of grenade attached to his belt. I grab the grenade and look at it. Not the usual grenade you'd imagine in your head or one you'd see in pictures. I get up but then hear something behind me. I turn around and see a rotter inches away from me, I drop the grenade and go for my knife. I stab it in the head and it falls to the ground. I look at the ground and pick up the grenade. I look at it and notice the pin is gone, I don't hesitate to throw it as far as I can and run away. I hear the explosion and jump on the ground and cover my head. I wait until I'm sure the blast is over and I get up. I look back at the two dead rotters and I still can see some smoke not far away from the two corpses. I look at the people by the RV I smile, "I'm fine!" I walk back to them and then I hear gunshots. I jump on the ground. I hear a voice shout, "Put you weapons down and come inside!" I get up and walk to the gate, while I walk I throw my gun on the ground and walk around the bus, while I'm behind the bus I hide my knife in my shoe. I continue walking to the gate and I see the others laying their guns and blades on the ground. The gate opens and I see a few people pointing their guns at us. We walk towards a woman with two men at her sides. Once we're about 10 meters away from her, she holds up her hand as the men point their rifles at us, "Stop right there! What do you want?!" She shouts. I look at the people standing on the balconies and infront of windows. Some of them holding guns, others just scared, "We're here because you have 4 of our people!" I hear Lucy shout from behind me. She looks suprised, "You make it sound as if we took 4 of your people, we saved your people. You should be thanking us." "Then why did you send us three of your people to threaten us?" Replies lucy as she walks foreward. "Stop right there!" One of the guards shouts as he points his gun at her. "We banished three of our people a few days ago, one of them, a woman, stole a few guns from us and tried to kill me. She failed and we banished her, she then took one of her friends with her and her daughter-in-law. She and her two friends are not people of ours anymore and I'm sorry if anything happened." Shouts the woman. She really does seem sorry. But I'm holding onto that knife. The woman seems to be thinking while we have nothing else to say to her. She then looks back up at us and it seems as if she made a decision. "I have decided to let you in. But I can not take all of you inside the mansion. I can only take three of you." Lucy looks back and we gather up. "I vote for me, Julian and you." She says as she nods at me and the father of the twins. I think his name was Michael and his wife's was Cindy or something like that. I nod, "I'm fine with that, but why me?" Lucy smiles, "You're a kid, I know that, but besides me and Annabelle not here, you're the best shot we have." I dislike that she's so confident about her shooting, but I guess it was sort of a compliment, "Thanks. Let's do it." We turn to the woman, "It's going to be me, Julian and Michael." Shouts Lucy as she points at me and Michael. The woman nods and signals that we can follow her. I look around and se a lot of weapons around me. "How did you get all of these weapons so quickly?" I ask the woman as we walk through the door and enter a hallway. "This mansion is my mansion. And I like heavy security, so even before all this dead-people-walking-shit started to escalate, I made sure I had doubled my security employers. But ofcourse, when it all happened the dead did manage to break in, so that's where a lot of my people died. Luckily my remaining employees killed all of the dead. But the gunfire did attract a lot of people seeking shelter, I let most of them in, but not the ones I didn't trust. People who were bitten were being put in different rooms with at least 2 guards and their remaining family. If I were to send them away, it would only cause drama, or worse, violence. That's why that woman tried to kill me, she thought violence was the option and thought we should take people's belongings. Even though we are very, and then I mean very well stocked with ammo, water and food. Medicine is also not a problem. We also have four surgeons here. Oh here we are." We walk up a staircase and enter a large room with a balcony. I see John laying on the bed and Annabelle sitting in a chair reading a book. Annabelle looks up, "Hey guys! This place is amazing!" Then we hear a gun shot coming from outside. One of the guards pushes me aside and runs to the balcony. He looks down and then turns to the woman, "Sir, we have a problem. It's Regina, she's back."
