Apocalypse

Back to Camp

"What the HELL are you doing back here?" William became furious. They BOTH were supposed to be dead but they brought bloodshed that he didn't even understand. There were bodies lining the forest of the camp and they had no idea what was going on. "I KNEW this had to do with you! Take your little rat pack and crawl back into the hole you came from!"

"William... this is the end. There's a better camp out there. Brent and these people with us know that. We're taking whoever wants to join us and leaving. I know you tried to have Penny and I killed. Congratulations. You got half." Nathan was working extremely hard to maintain his composure. His eyes were still steeled over. He looked emotionless.

"You can't simply barge into MY community and tell me what to do. No one is joining your little cult. I suggest you leave at once." People started emerging from their tents, due to retreating during the fighting.

"Nathan?" Danny poked his head out of a tree. Eleanor and Johnny came out of their tent and Eleanor nearly fainted.

"There's a better place!" Nathan spun in a circle to tell everyone. "There were cannibals in these woods, and William was content to let them stay! Brent and I, and these men here, helped change that! There's farming, small game, large open areas, lofts, a mall nea-" A scream interrupted Nathan's inspirational speech. It was Becca's coming from what used to be William's tent. Nathan stopped speaking, and slowly made his way over to the tent, opening it.

Becca was on the ground cowering away from Justin. The man was buck naked and creeping towards Becca slowly. She grabbed whatever was closest and held it like a weapon.

"What the hell?" He could see that Becca was fully clothed. Both Justin and Becca turned to the familiar, yet strange voice in the entryway. Now that he was mostly facing Nathan, he could see a wound on Justin's shoulder one that looked like a bite mark. Becca and Justin looked at him in shock. Justin's eyes, however, were dull and yellowed, not blue like they were supposed to be.

"Turned." Nathan raised his gun. Becca used the opportunity to get up from the ground. She went around Justin to Nathan without truly realizing it was him. When she was safe and out of his way, Nathan fired twice, killing Justin's walking corpse.

"He's dead?" Becca couldn't take her eyes off of Justin's now truly dead, corpse. She had attached herself to Nathan without thinking.

"Yeah. Sorry." He slipped himself out of her grasp and walked outside. "Any who want a better life, come with us!" He started walking to the car again.

"W-wait..." Becca was standing just outside the tent now. "I-is that really you..."

"He's not on speaking terms." Brent spoke up.

"What're you talking about? Not on speaking terms? I-I'm just shocked he's even alive." She shook her head and turned back to Nathan. "Why won't you talk to me? Nathan,​ I love you." Brent set a hand on her shoulder.

"Becca... we know what you and Justin did." Even Brent was disappointed; the evidence presented by Kharim wasn't easily disputed.

"What we did? What're you talking about?"

"He knows you're pregnant. And that it's Justin's."

"But it isn't..it's Nathan's. I missed my period a week or so after you left. I took a test and...positive. Even with protection. I NEVER had sex with Justin. You​ really thought I would stoop that low?" Nathan stopped. His heart sank. If it was his... then... Penny. "If I'd have known you were alive, I'd have done my damnedest to find you and tell you." She pushed Brent away and slowly came closer to Nathan. He turned extremely slowly. Brent knew what Nathan had done the night prior. The whole damn camp had known.
