The Apocalypse

Chapter 10

The journey back home was a tough one. Me having a fucked up leg, Abby with a bullet still in her shoulder, Josh slowly bleeding out, and Dr. Plum wasn't very strong. Where he had strengths in medicine, he did not have them physically. If he was as strong as he was smart, we would have a superhuman as a friend. But sadly that wasn't the case. We had finally gotten to our little community a half hour later.

However, when we showed up the gate never opened. We called out to Overwatch. No reply. I even started throwing rocks, still no reply. I went up to the gate and started pounding on it. Still no reply. "Where the hell is she?" I whispered to myself. I called out to Overwatch, and I still got no answer. I told everyone to hold on as I went around to the tunnel that lead to the doctors office.

When I got there, the lights were not on. They were supposed to be on all day every day. I walked around the office and realized that there were fresh bloodstains on the walls and carpet. I walked outside to see that the Chief's house had been on fire. Then I heard a baby crying. I immediately ran to where I could hear it. And when I got to Charlie, I saw them. I saw Robert and Isaiah.

"What the fuck did you two do?" I asked angrily. They looked over to me and dropped their knives. Strung up on a wall, was Charlie. I took out my revolver and pointed it at them. "What the actual fuck are you doing?" They looked at me scared. "We...we were just having some fun with him....Nothing bad.....Nothing bad at all." Robert said as he gave a nervous chuckle. I saw cuts on Charlie's arm.

That pissed me off even more. "Where is everybody?" I asked, still pointing my gun at their heads. I got no answer. "Answer me God dammit." I said as I put my finger on the trigger. Isaiah pointed to my right, and I looked. And right there, hanging from a rope, was Overwatch, Carl, and....and Peter. That did it. I fired my gun at Roberts head and watched as my friend fell to the ground. Then I looked to Isaiah. "Who did it. You or him?" I asked. He looked down in shame.

"We were told to..." "By who!?" He didn't answer. "Mother fucker if you don't tell me right fucking now I will blow your fucking brains out." I said as I moved closer to Isaiah. "We were told...by Larson." I was stunned. "How. I killed him." Isaiah retrieved a note from his pocket. He handed it to me. It read in big letters : TO ROBERT AND ISAIAH. I KNOW HOW WE CAN GET BACK AT HIM. I AM GOING TO BE TRYING TO KILL HIM. WHEN HE SHOOTS ME DOWN I WANT YOU TO SEND RICHARD BACK AND HAVE A GRENADE STRAPPED TO HIS BACK POCKET. THEN WHEN HE BLOWS UP I WANT YOU TO TELL ABBY TO SHOOT THE OVERWATCH. AND FINALLY, WHEN EVERYBODY IS GONE LEAVE THE REST OF THE GROUP WHILE THEY GO AND FIND JOSH. THEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. GOOD LUCK.

I looked at Isaiah in shock. "You back stabbing mother fucker." I pointed my gun at him once more. "Did Abby know? Did she know about this plan?" I asked. He shook his head no. As soon as I put my finger on the trigger I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see that it was Abby. "I did know about it." She said. I dropped my revolver. I looked at her, and she looked at me. "I knew Robert and Isaiah were supposed to kill everyone." "Why....why did you do this? My brother almost died." "It was all a part of the plan." Abby replied. She then took her knife and jabbed it into my knee. I fell to the ground in agonizing pain.

She kicked me over and walked right next to Isaiah. Then they kissed. 

I blinked. And when my eyes opened again I wasn't on the floor with a knife, but in bed. Right next to Abby. I looked down at my right knee and saw that it was bandaged up. I couldn't feel my leg though. I sat up and looked around. Was I still in my nightmare? Abby rolled over and then looked up at me, half asleep. "Is everything alright?" She asked. "Where is Robert and Isaiah?" "They are tending to Josh, they're watching over him as Dr. Plum works on him." She replied. 

I was still feeling like something was odd. "How did we get here?" I asked. "Well, when we got to the gate you immediately fell over and I guess you knocked yourself out. Sarah had opened up the gate and helped us get you back into this new home. Then we all got Josh to the doctors office and then I came back here with you." She replied. I was still mind fucked. That nightmare really messed with my emotions. "How's your leg?" She asked. "I mean, it feels fine." "Have you looked at it?" I stared at her for a second. Then immediately ripped off the blanket.

I wish I hand't.
