my Last breath

part twenty-three

Once serena's done she walks back upstairs to check on Lance, as silence fills the air around Marcus and i, I bite my lip nervously as I think.


"Let me help you get to a bedroom"
I grumble as I get up and holst his arm around my shoulders, he grunts and grits his teeth as we slowly make our way upstairs.

I use my foot to wedge a door open as I help him on the bed, once hes comfortable enough I make my way torwerds the door.

"Ya not going to stay?"
He calls out before I can get the door open, I sigh before looking in his grey eyes.

"You want me to?"
I ask watching his features, watching making sure this isn't a joke or something. But I don't see non as he nods his head like its obvious.

"Yea I want to ya know cuddle"
My head tilts to the side at that and a small smile forms on my lips, as I close the door again and slowly take my weapons away. I put my backpack down as he watches me.

"Just dont tell anyone about me liking to cuddle"
He says through grit teeth but when he says if its hollow and calm, I nod again as I sit beside him awkwardly not knowing what to do. He wraps his arms gently around my waist and hides his face in the crock if my neck. Breathing in my sent. I soon relax in his touch, as butterflies fills my stomach.

"We need to talk about our...ya know our little makeout session"

I bite my Lower lip once I said that as I look up and him to see that hes looking back, I breath out a sigh of relief once I dont see anything else but admire in his eyes. As he runs his fingers through my hair, getting the knots out.

"Well I thought it was obvious, I like you"

When the words slip through off his tongue, a painfull feeling that engulf my chest is now lifted and gone. I put my hand against his cheek, caressing his cheek bone. As his flesh feels warm against my hand making me want to never stop.

"Well I never had a boyfriend so your my first one for everything"
His stiffness seams to unstiff and he fully relaxes.

"Well your my first aswell"
My smile only grows as we cuddle closer. As he kiss me lightly on the lips then hides his face in my neck again, he smells like pine needles and wild berry's, making me cuddle even closer.

"Goodnight sweetheart"
He whispers softly making my eyes dropply, I try to fight it off but I let them fall until I fall asleep.


                        Domenica


As we shuffle our way in the woods following what seems like a bunch of footprints, that is leading straight. Weve been walking for a long time now and somehow oscar has been getting his confidence back. As we get closer suddenly the tracks just stop. With a frown on my face we come to a clearing were theres a big house and a couple more with fencing surrounding it.
I frown again once I see everyone sleeping in sleeping bags outside in the middle of the day. And not only that its all women wearing nothing but white clothes.


"Why they're sleeping while its only 4 in afternoon? And how do they keep they're white clothes not dirty?"

Oscar says looking skeptically at the woman, I hum as a response before shrugging my shoulders.

"Maybe they prefer only staying up at night, and that they like white"
After I said that we both fall into silence, as we watch all the women sleep some taking shifts as I see some women walk up to them waking the other, before going to sleep aswell. I watch Oscar's watch every now and then until its its 10 o clock at night and its pitch black out.

The women stirred in they're bags as suddenly a women comes out and seams to be the leader as she shouts.

"Alright everybody get to they're stations, I want hunters out now. I want those men feed aswel"


When the leader speak, my eyes widen once I hear her voice, its dark and rusty like she just came out of the bed without water. But that's not the only thing. Her voice is deep and calm. Slow yet still sends shivers down your spine, it reminds me of when a creeping voice whispers in your ear and treathining you that he can't wait to kill you, kind of vocie. When she speaks it's slow and dangerous. She has long blonde hair that is straight and looks almost white. Her pale skin remains me of somebody, and her black eyes.

"Well looks like we better get a move on"
I whisper turning back around, as we walk forward suddenly when oscar steps forward a 'clack' noise is heard, me and oscar share a look with widen eyes.

"Ok......"


"Dont move"

I say with a panic Expression, I can hear the girls talking loudly at one another, and I new In my gut that they're going to find us soon. If we don't do something!!.
Suddenly before I can say anything the leader shouts out.

"Alright to the woods let's track some meat"
Another shiver goes down my spine at the voice.

"Huh never mind just run"
I say panickly, waving for oscar as we both bolted, we only get a heads start before oscar yelps as hes suddenly is yanked from the ground and there is a rope around his ankle, for some reason I stop in my tracks looking up at oscar with a worry expression.

"Wow your really hanging"
He glares at me when I say that, but before I can try to make a attempt to help, or run witch I dont know why. It's like my feet are glued the ground, suddenly voices and shouting is heard as I'm suddenly pushed to my knees. I huff as I watch one of the girls cut oscar so he can kneel beside me.

"Well well well"

Then my confidence is wash away down the drain to fast. But I keep my chin up at the scary voice. As I look up to see the leader with the most dangerous smile.

"Look what we got here ladys, meat"
It's not the words she uses it's the way she says it, lucky the cool night air helps with my shivering.

"Now will you tell me why your on our territory?"
She says calmly as she crouches down to our height as our knees start to form mud.

"Huh"
I quickly chough as she puts her attention back on me with those stone cold black eyes. Once I got my confidence back up I speak.

"Well you see here blonde"
I wave my right hand to my chest then to oscar as I continue.

"We were just looking for shelter, and we saw footprints and just follow them. Now before you interrupt me"

I say putting my hands up in front of me before letting them fall once I see that shes listening.

"We were just watching ya because we thought it was quite weird to be sleeping during the day, but we were leaving and we didn't hurt you in your sleep"

I finally let out a breath as she stares at me with a blank expression, her attention then goes back to oscar. Then a malicious grin is spreading more on her pink plump lips as she starts to caress his forearm, as oscar shakes with fear.

"Oh but darling why should I let yall go when I can have more fun"
She says as she looks at me then at oscar, who trys to get away from her touch.

"What-"

"Get them ladies"
Her voice suddenly goes back to dark, all the girls listen as they take our wrists and tie them behind our backs.

"Now darlings what is yalls names"
She doesn't quistens it she more likely demands it. But when she looks at me before I chould say a fake name, I stop myself because that look tells me not to lie.
I sigh in defeat.

"My name domenica and this is my friend oscar"
I replied pointing my finger at one another. She nods her heads before letting another smile take place.

"My name is Camilia"
She then parts her arms apart behind her as we walk to her base.

"Welcome to the nuns community hon"
I shiver with each word that comes our of her mouth as we make our way to the gates.

She leads us to a cell place where its empty, but I see dried blood on the walls and floor. I shiver again for the hundredth timeth that day, the girl that was holding me shoves me in not really gently. As they put oscar in the one next to me.

"This place looks like the kind where they blow of dicks at"
Oscar whispers softly towards me so the girls cant hear. I nod my head before grasping onto the bars.

"Hey blonde!!"
I shout out before she can walk out of the door, she turns around and walks back.

"Listen how about you and I make a deal"
I snarl but immediately regret that as her gun point's torwerds oscar.

"Or how bout I kill him"
She snarls back, before cocking the gun to prove her point.

"Ok ok"
I say putting my hands up in defense as I scoot closer to oscar.

"How about this you dont hurt him and I'll get men for you huh"
This seams to catch her attention as she looks at me with a smile. She hums a couple times as she puts her gun back. Causing a shaky sigh from oscar.

"Mhn I guess that will work, Sarah and Savannah come here"
She says as a beautiful red head comes fort, she has all the curves that a man chould dream and a tattoo sleeve on her right arm. It goes to her shoulder all the way to her fingertips is pink and red flowers.
Her red hair is lighter then Kimberly and her eyes are more like a brownish grean.

Savannah is more skinny and shorter then Sarah, she has darker skin and a pixie cut to her hair. And she looks like she will kill anyone. With sarah who looks innocent but can still kill you.
Comilia gives sarah a sideways hug most likely friends.

"Now Sarah here is my second command"
Comilia says before handing her the keys and whispers something in her ear. Sarah looks at me with a blank expression as she opens the door.

"Alright come on"
When she talks there is a little country accent to there, mix with a little of British but you can barely hear it. Sarah and Savannah leads me outside where theres a truck and a small car.

"Ok comilia wants 5 men, and here's the keys to the truck"
I smile as Sarah hands me the keys as I look at the beautiful black GMC, I run my hands on the black material.

"Oh and dont scratch it that's comilias baby"
I immediately jerk my hands away like I just got burn. As I look at Sarah.

"Really chould haved told me that sonner"
I said rubbing my hands on my jeans. Looking at the house like I expect her to be watching me.

"Alright but before you wanna ask questions?"
Sarah says as the mute one walks away. I put my hand up to my chin thinking.

"Yea why hasn't anyone tryd to be the better leader instead comilia"

Sarah gives a sad smile at that before sighing.

"Let's just say that this group is like a wolf pack, and you have to challenge the aponnent. To the death"
My whole body shivers at that but I that only lets me think more.

"That's good to know thanks and how long until I have until I have to bring the men?"
I question looking her up and down to make sure shes not lieing, as I sit in the driver's seat.

"Just a week"

Great, with that I start driving, I look over at the passenger side to see a walkie talkie that says 'for comilia' on it along with my bow and arrows, with my knives aswell.

Where to go?

I think for a minute until a really bad thought came to my mind. Something I really dont like but have to for oscar. Oh why did I have to save him.
I groan in frustration as the radio crackles. And comellias scary voice flows through the atmosphere.

"Well domenica as you can see theres a map in the truck where there's a few communities that has your name on it darling"

I sigh as I reach and grasp onto the walkie talkie.

"Yea already saw it, why do you need these men anyways?"

I ask as I squint at the road pasting by a runner who trys to keep up.

"Ah for pleasure of course I at least want one prise for me honey, we dont rape them we do them if they ask'

I sigh once more.

"Alright I'll get them as soon as possible"

With that she hangs up leaving me to think, but I turn the truck to the right. As I whisper to myself.

"Sorry Jeremiah"

                             Kinnzie



I wake up to the sound of screaming. I’m pushing myself out of bed so fast the whole room seems to spin when I make it to the door. I half remember getting the gun from under my pillow as I stubble towards where a blood bath might be waiting for me.

“Guys, what is it?!”

I make it to the stairs before my legs don’t feel like jelly anymore as my vision begins to clear. I see bodies laying on the ground. Serena’s there laying on the ground at the bottom of the stairs, I see something dripping from her chin, but it’s not blood just some clear liquid.

Then she begins to move.

“Serena?!”

I go to start to tumble down the stairs towards her.

“I would stop right there if I was you, missy.”

I freeze where I am as I hear the most awful country accent come from somewhere below me.

“What the hell do you want?”

I lift the gun up in my hand as I try to aim it where I think the voice is coming from. Out of the corner of my eye I see Serena start to get up. I keep the gun raised as I let my eyes slip towards her for a moment.

“You ok?”

Serena shakes her head as she growls and gets back up on her feet, I hear more groaning coming from around the house as more of my group starts to get back up. I feel relief as none of them looked injured. Then that stupid voice starts again.

“Now look her, missy, Im not going to ask twice.” ask twice

I hear the clicking of what seems to be boots and the sound of something else, almost like-

Ryan Mockery comes out, and he’s decked out. A belt is swung over his hips and water guns hang from the belt. On his feet Ryan wears huge boots that look to be a size 13 with spurs to fit. Once my eyes are done taking in the weird outfit I see Ryan is also sporting a button up shirt that is a couple sizes to big for him.

And the cherry on the sundae is Ryan’s three pieces of hey in his mouth. Of course he couldn’t settle on just one piece. And a frickin backwards cowboy hat, how do I know because I use to ride and I loved hats.

“Ryan! What the hell is going on here?”

“That would be sherif Ryan to you, doll.”

Ryan slowly starts walking up the stairs towards me as Serena gives him the biggest death glare known to man. Once he's just a couple steps away from me I put my gun away and look at him questingly.

“What do you mean-“

I’m cut off as Ryan’s suddenly only a couple inches away from me as his finger rudely presses my lips shut.

“Ill be asking the questions here.”

He starts as he takes his belt and pats the water guns at his sides.

“Now, when is the last time you saw my dear older brother, Jeremiah?”

I feel my eyebrow raise as I look at him.

“What? Isn’t he here?”

“Oh, yes, act like you don’t know.”

I sigh as I try not to wrangle the answers out of him.

“Alright, just tell me what’s goin on, maybe then I’ll tell you what I know.”

I throw the last part in for bait, and thankfully Ryan takes it. He smacks his lips as he gets ready to talk.

“Well, it all started last night. The moon was high in the sky, and I wanted to share that beautiful moment with my bro, but atlas he was not there when I needed him most.”

Ryan starts to actually wipe away a real tear.

“So I did what any brother would do, I snooped through his things since he wasn’t there to stop me.”

“Wait what-“

“Anyway! After I ate all his granola bars I went searching for him, but nada señorita, he not there.”

I was starting to get confused at what accent he was trying to use.

“And so I started questioning these mothertruckers, but even they didn’t have any answers.”

“You call that questioning? You thew apples at us!”

Serena yelled as she got back up on her feet.

Suddenly Ryan got something out of the back of his pocket. I saw something red as Ryan threw it towards Serena. The apple missed her by a foot meaning that Ryan wasn’t really aiming it at her.

“Back demon!”
