The Arising: Our Community

Chapter 4

"Shit! Hurry up! Get off your arse!" Wilson yelled.

I quickly crawled backwards and got back on my feet.

"Look out!" Brooklyn yelled.

I turned around and quickly took out my knifes from my holsters on my leg and stabbed the two Walkers coming up behind me in the brain. I then turned back and faced the horde.

"It's not too big, we could take it" I said.

"What the hell are you talking about?! This is the biggest horde I have ever seen!" Wilson said.

"I've seen bigger hordes then this" I said.

"Well were not going to take them out. Let's just try to turn them around!" Wilson said.

"And risk it from coming back and also risk it from maybe attacking innocent survivors. You're not that kind of man. We have to take them out, because of you don't I will" I said.

I kept slowly walking backwards leading Nova with me. I looked at Wilson and I saw him thinking about it.

"Ok. Fine. We can take them. Are you fine with that Brooklyn?" Wilson said.

"I'm fine with that" Brooklyn said taking out her machete.

"Get!" Wilson said telling his horse to run away.

I pat Nova quickly.

"Get Out is here!" I yelled.

"Get!" Brooklyn yelled.

Our horses ran away and we got ready for the horde to get closer. Three Walkers were coming straight for me. I quickly took them down. Brooklyn took out a few Walkers as well. As Walkers came closer we took them out as fast as possible. About ten minutes later there was only three left. I walked up to them and took two out. Just as I was about to take the last one out I heard a gunshot and the Walker fell to the ground. I looked behind me and saw my Brother holding my revolver in his hand aiming it where the Walker was. All the other crew members walked up behind him and started to cheer.

"You're welcome!" My Brother yelled.

We all looked at him angrily and walked back down the road to try to find our horses. We whistled our for them and they all came running. As I was about to get on the horse my brother grabbed me.

"Hey, there's something I normally like to do with my new soldiers" My Brother said.

"And what's that?" I asked.

"A fight club! To find out who's stronger! No guns or knifes allowed!" My Brother yelled grabbing my shoulder and chucking me backwards.

I tripped over my own foot and fell onto the ground. I quickly stood up and got ready for him to come at me again. He went to punch me but I quickly dodged him. He fell over from having no balance. He then got back up and tried to punch me again. I grabbed his arm and twisted it. I then punched him in the face as hard as I could and he fell backwards looking really dizzy. He got back up holding his nose.

"That didn't even hurt. Not even a little bit" My Brother said.

I saw Wilson stepping forward.

"That's enough! We need to get back before more Zombies come back!" Wilson yelled.

"No we don't! We can keep fighting!" My Brother yelled taking out a large hunting knife from his holster.

He went to try to stab me but I grabbed his hand and twisted it. He dropped the knife. He went to pick it up but I quickly kneed him in the face. He fell back onto the ground.

"I would be beating your ass if I wasn't so fucking drunk!" My Brother said.

"Are we done here?" I said.

He didn't reply. I turned around and walked back to my horse.

"Sam!" Brooklyn yelled.

I felt a knife go through my shoulder. I looked at my shoulder and saw a knife through it. I turned around and punched my Brother in the face as hard as I could. He fell to the ground unconscious. I took out the knife and threw it on him. I then got onto my horse.

"Let's go" I said.

All the other army members stopped cheering and went quite. Brooklyn and Wilson both nodded and we rode back to The New Order. It was awkward on the ride back I noticed Brooklyn and Wilson both looking at me and as I turned my head to look at them they turned their head away quickly.

"Are you ok?" Brooklyn asked.

"I'm fine. I'm still bleeding a little. But I'll live" I said.

"How did you kill those Zombies back their like that?" Wilson said.

"A lot of experience. I've been trying my hardest to survive and trying to keep my people alive" I said.

"What do you mean your people" Wilson asked.

I sighed.

"Before all this I was at my own community. I have a pregnant wife there and an adopted daughter. I was betrayed and taken out here, and now I'm here" I said.

"And you lead them?" Brooklyn asked.

"Yes" I said.

"At your age?" Wilson said.

"I'm tougher then I look" I said.

"I know you're tougher then you look, you beat your brother in a fight and he's like three years older than you. He's known as one of the toughest people at The New Order" Wilson said.

The ride back to The New Order was mostly silent. When we got back the gates opened and we rode in. We rode to the stables and hitched our horses up. I pat Nova on her head and gave her a carrot and a bucket of water. We all then walked out of the stables.

"Brooklyn can you take Sam to the infirmary please. I will see you guys later" Wilson said walking away.

"The infirmary is this way" Brooklyn said.

I followed Brooklyn towards the infirmary.

"Thank you, for trying to stick up to Finn before. Thank you for everything. It's been very hard for me lately and ever since I got here you have been trying to make me feel at home as much as possible. I've been hard on you, so I'm sorry if I was a bit of a dick when we first meet" I said.

"It's fine. I get it. When I lost everyone I knew, when I was all alone. I felt the same way. I felt like I had no purpose in life. But then I found this place. Like I said, this place changes you a lot" Brooklyn said.

We both walked to the infirmary. Once we got there Brooklyn walked in first and I followed. The doctor came walking up to us.

"What seems to be the problem?" The doctor asked.

"I was stabbed" I said rolling up my sleeve.

"Oh. I see. Ok just sit up on the bed and I'll look over you" the doctor said.

TEN MINUTES LATER

Brooklyn and I both sat down outside our caravan looking up at the sky as the stars started to appear.

"Megan loved stars. She always has. But once she went through a massive faze of space ships and stuff like that. But she has always been fascinated by them" I said.

"Who could blame her. They are beautiful" Brooklyn said.

"They are indeed" I said.

"It's getting quite late and we have to wake up pretty early tomorrow so, I think we should get some sleep" Brooklyn said.

"Yeah" I said standing up.

Brooklyn and I both walked over to our caravan door. I opened and we both walked in. I closed and locked the door and got into bed. Brooklyn climbed up to her bed as well.

"Goodnight Sam" Brooklyn said.

"Goodnight" I said.
