When The World Went To Hell

Making a Hard Choice

(Vincent's Pov)

I just stared at the blood on my hands as at the rain kept falling. I looked down to Marlon's body laying on the ground and I quickly back away from him. I hear Ruby yelling something about bandages but that wasn't going to help him, he's gone, he's dead, he's not coming back not even as a Walker. I stand up and look around and see AJ scared as he lowered the gun and I look to everyone.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Louis yells and I look to him as he glared at AJ then to Clementine who looked at AJ. Was that fear in her eyes?

"A-AJ what did you do?" She asked him as he looked at her. He looked so confused at what was going on.

"He killed Marlon, he's a murderer, what the hell have you been teaching him?" Louis asked pissed as he came up to Clementine and I got between them.

"Don't.... fucking don't." I say as I don't look at anyone. I can't look at anyone.

"She taught him to kill innocent people Violet."

"Who the hell is Violet?" Clementine asked and I glare at Louis.

"Look right now let's not do anything rash." I say as I look at him and he looks back at me.

"RASH?" He yelled, his voice breaking.

"He killed Marlon, she taught him to kill, they both need to go now." He says and I look at him then I see Mitch as he moved to AJ so I quickly go over to them and I hold my knife tightly at him.

"Mitch just back away from the kid ok, we will all talk about this just-."

"JUST WHAT RELAX?" He yelled at me and I watch him.

"We let them in and they do this type of shit, what happens if we do something else that this kid doesn't like, should we expect a bullet to the fucking head." Louis says and I look to AJ who was scared and I turn to face him.

"AJ give me the gun." I say to him gently and he looked to me as I bend down in front of him and he points the gun up a bit.

"Vince." I hear Ruby say scared and I just look at AJ.

"AJ... I won't hurt you.... Just give me the gun, I'll give it back I promise." I say to him gently. I am terrified having a gun on me but right now I can't show that.

"They will." He says quietly. I look to the school kids and then to Clem who looked to AJ then Marlon, then back. Everything is fucked right now, she has to be confused, everything went by so fast.

"I won't let them, just please give me the gun AJ, then you and Clem can go to ya'lls room." I tell him.

"Keep the killer where we sleep how fucking nice." Louis says.

"SHUT UP!" I yell at him and then look back at AJ as he slowly and shakenly places the gun into my hand. I see how small he really is, how scared he is.

"Clementine take AJ to your room while we figure things out." I say as she looks to me and nods just a bit as she goes and takes AJ to their room. I made sure that no one left the area to follow them and I look at the gun and open it to see one bullet left. I take it out and place it in my vest pocket and the gun in my pant pocket. I look to the others as they try to help Marlon but there was no use in it.

"How fucked up are you Vincent?" Louis says pissed as I look to him.

"We don't fucking kill people, we don't hurt kids, you want to talk about fucked up, what about the fact that Marlon admitted to giving away Tenns sisters, to a bunch of fucking raiders." I say.

"We could have talked about it." He said

"TALKED? He was willing to shoot me." I say.

"He didn't." Louis says.
