Incendiary: Carl Grimes Love Story

Chapter Thirty Four: No Sanctuary

Maya's Pov

Sanctuary

The words couldn't even form in my head while staying in the train cart. Terminus was nothing close to it. I used the pocket knife I hid in my boot and craved away at the wooden stake in my hand. Daryl laughed when I pulled it out knowing I would be the one out of the group to hide a knife. We were fighting our way out and I knew we could. We might be the toughest group out there and Terminus did not know what was about to hit them.

" They seemed nice enough, but I was ready to go." I heard and turned to the ginger solider, who I learned to be Abraham Ford.

He looked up and laughed a bit." We just got here, but damn, it was time to go. When I told them about DC, a wink and a nod from the head asshole in charge, they pulled their guns and it was right back to our regularly scheduled shit storm."

Sasha looked away from Abraham and towards Michonne." Before they put you in here, you didn't see Tyreese ?"

" No ." Michonne answered.

" What about Beth ?" Maggie questioned looking up to all of us. I turned to Daryl knowing he was the one to leave with Beth when the prison fell.

Daryl looked up towards us with the outside light reflecting on his face." I was with her when the prison fell. We camped out in some funeral home when it was taken over. A car took her. Black car with a white cross painted on it. I tried to follow it. I tried."

Maggie gasped a bit." But she's alive ?"

" She's alive ." Daryl confirmed before looking back outside.

I finished the wooden stake and handed it to Carl seeing he left a pile for the group to collect. I heard voices outside and looked up hearing them inch closer and closer to the train cart.

" Alright, got four of them pricks coming our way."

Mr. Grimes ripped the watch chain from the wood before nodding. I got up quickly placing a wooden stake in my belt and the pocket knife tightly in my hand.

" Y'all know what to do." He confidently said moving next to Daryl and I." Go for their eyes first. Then their throats."

" Put your backs to the walls on either side of the car now." They ordered, but none of us followed the others.

I curled my hand around the pocket knife when I heard footsteps on the roof and the door sliding open. I didn't even have time to question when a smoke bomb landed twelve inches from my feet.

" Move !" Abraham screamed and quickly Daryl grabbed my body before we collided with the train cart floor.

I gasped hearing the loud explosion and tasted the gray smoke in my mouth. I coughed loudly trying my very best to get the chemical out of my lung, but each intake brought in more. The train cart doors opened loudly causing Daryl to look at me.

" Take her !" He harshly whispered when someone grabbed me and took me to the edge of the train cart to not be seen.

I tried to yell, but it barely came out as a whisper with how much I was coughing. I watched through the gray smoke a man pick up Daryl before throwing him out the cart. I wanted to run after them, but Carl had a tight grip holding me right to the group. The doors closed again, but we did not stop coughing.
