Silence [Skeppy Fanfic]

Chapter 19

Darryl POV

Zak's been really quite ever since the guard has snuck up on us.

Since he killed the guard.

Since he saved my life.

I felt guilty for not thanking him earlier. I walked towards him, but he moved away from me. I know that he's obviously avoiding me but I feel like this is necessary.

"I just wanted to say thank you." I said, from a couple feet away from him.

He seemed to hesitate before answering, "For what?"

"For saving me." I said.

He smiled slightly, "No worries."

I smiled back at him and walked away.

"We're almost there." Mega said.

"Almost where?" I asked,

"Almost out of this stupid place." Clay said.

George's eyes lit up at the sound of leaving. Zelk and I didn't react much since we haven't been here long but excitement still erupted in my chest. I expected Zak to have a similar reaction to George but his eyes stayed dull, and he didn't react at all.

A bang rang out through the air causing us all to stop.

A gun shot.

We all turned to Zak, in hopes that it was him who fired the gun. He shook his head slowly.

"Come on." Clay said, hurriedly, "We're almost to the exit."

We all ran down the hallways until Mega yelled, "The door should be down this hallway."

We ran down that hallway and turned right.

Sure enough, the door was there.

But in front of it was a line of guards all standing with guns.

One of them stepped forward, "Clay, Mega, I thought you guys were better than this."

He looked at each of us individually before saying, "Where's the last one?"

Mega bowed his head, "He didn't make it here with us."

At first I didn't know what he was talking about, then I realized what he was talking about.

Zak was gone.

Suddenly I heard a gun shot. I searched the line of guards for who had fired the gun, but they all had the same confused look on their faces.

I realized they were all looked the same way, behind us.

I turned and saw Zak standing there, holding a huge gun, with a grin on his face.

He walked forwards with the gun pointed towards the crowd of guards.

I grabbed his shirt, "Stop, they'll shoot you."

Zak grinned, "No they won't."

"They need us." He said, "They won't kill us."

"They can still hurt you!" Zelk exclaimed.

"I don't care about getting hurt." Zak said, "I've been through a lot of pain. I'm basically numb to it now. As long as I'm not dead, I'm happy."

Then an idea came to mind, "How about when the man tried to shoot me?"

Zak stuck his hand into his hoodie pocket and pulled out a dart of some sort, "He wasn't trying to kill you just trying to knock you out."

Then without hesitation he lifted the new gun he has and fired.

Oof
