Legacy (Book #2 of the Survival Series)

Chapter Thirteen

"That was Fay!" I said to Luke, panic and fear rising and bubbling in my stomach.

"Are you sure?" Luke asked looking back at me with the same perplexed face. "Maybe it was someone else?"

"Luke, I think I know what my best friends scream sounds like." I said giving him an emotionless stare. "Do you know how many times she's screamed because of a bee?"

"Enough that you know what her scream of terror sounds like?" Luke asked and I nodded in response. "Well, looks like getting there may be harder than we thought." I turned to look toward the road, Walkers. I don't know why I was so surprised. We're in the Apocalypse, Walkers are everywhere, around every corner, you were never safe in a building, and you definitely were not safe in the middle of the woods. "Want to run for it or fight?" Luke asked as he kept his eyes locked on the Walkers that approached us.

'Run. I'm not taking any chances here," I said grabbing his hand and pulling him diagonally forward and left. Fay screamed again and gunshots echoed over the deserted road. 'Come on Fay." I whispered. "Stay strong kid, stay strong."

Fay's scream erupted once again, but following it was another. The second one sounded familiar, but I just couldn't place a face.

"Juli!" Fay screamed "Juliet I swear to god, Help us!" She used my full first name, this must seriously be a big-

"Holy shit." Luke said stopping momentarily. "That's a lot of Walkers."

"Hell yeah it is." I said looking around, I fixed my eye on Fay, who was somewhat in the center of it all. Daryl was leaning on here, three other people stood with them as the Walkers closed in more and more.

"Juliet!" Fay screamed, "Help me here!"

"I'm coming!" I said reaching back for my katana, but it wasn't there. "Fuck." I stomped. How am I supposed to do any damage without a katana? I looked towards the center of the circle to see a katana swinging, if I could just convince whoever that was to trade for a machete, I could stop this. "Fay!" I yelled. "Send the katana over here!" She nodded and turned her head slightly to whoever held it, then pushed them forward. Luke watched around us, using a gun he had picked off a Walker. As far as I know, it's not loaded, but he's just knocking them down then stomping, so I think he's all good.

"Juli?" I turned to see Charlie holding the katana. Who's idea was it to give her a weapon which honestly requires skill and strength?

"Charlie." I said grabbing my machete. "Give me the katana and I'll give you the machete."

"Why would I do that?" Charlie sneered. Is she serious?

"Are you serious?" I asked glancing back at Luke, then back at Charlie. "Do you want to get out of here alive or not?"

"There's one thing I want." She said looking back at Luke. "Him."

"Well, I'm currently not available." He said over his shoulder taking down another Walker.

"I know." Charlie said looking back to me. I knew exactly what she was thinking, I just didn't know when she was willing to spring. "Juliet is the only thing in my way, but not for long." She lunged forward, but sadly for her, she wasn't all that coordinated. I jumped and turned my back to the big crowd of Walkers, to face Charlie's back.

"Big mistake darlin'!" I smirked as I kicked her, sending the katana to the ground, and her into a Walker. I picked up the katana, not even worried about what would happen to Charlie. She screamed and I turned to see Luke stomping on the head of the Walker. I turned back to Fay and started to take out the Walkers that were in the way to Fay. Taking out the Walkers was 10x easier than it would have been with a damn machete. What the actual hell was Charlie thinking? I'm not trying to be high and mighty here, but her with the katana would have done us no good, her with any weapon would have done us no good.

"Juliet Ann Price." Fay said walking over to me,

"Fay Elizabeth Greene." I replied back mocking her tone. She just smiled and pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"I didn't think we'd make it out alive." She whispered. "Charlie, where is she?"

"Why?" I said stepping toward the direction I kicked her in.

"I'm gonna kill her." Fay said trying to step around me. "Her and her stubbornness almost costed us all of our lives. Where the fuck is she?"

"Over here." Luke called kneeling down next to Charlie.

"Help her!" Ellie said running out from behind some trees. "Help her please! She's all I have left!"

"Your sister tried to kill us." Daryl said sitting down on the ground. "She wouldn't give Juli the weapon she's most skilled with,"

"Why would she do that?" Ellie said looking down at her sister. "Why would you do that?"

"You...you believe them?" Charlie croaked. The Walker I had pushed her into had taken a chunk out of her neck, but mostly her shoulder.

"I was watching, you looked, you looked like you were going to attack Juliet." Ellie said kneeling down.

"Wait, who's Juliet?" Luke asked standing up and looking to us.

"Juliet is my first name." I sighed. "I go by Juli because I honestly prefer it."

"Juliet is such a beautiful name, why would you use Juli?" Luke asked.

"What?" I spat, "the name Juli isn't pretty enough for Mr.music star Hemmings?"

"That's not- I mean-" Luke started to stumble on his words.

"Watch what you say here Hemmings." Fay warned pointing her hammer at him. "I'm not afraid to hurt you. I suggest you wait and we'll resolve this later." Luke nodded and turned to Charlie.

"Why would you want to kill a girl, just to get my attention?" Luke asked her. She looked away and looked at all of us, then back at him.

"All I wanted was a bit of attention. I tried Ashton, Brody, Daryl and you. None of you seemed to pay me any mind. Juli has always got the attention, from anyone, friends, family, guys. I'm done with it." She spit up a bit of blood.

"We're going to have to kill her." Fay whispered to me. "She will turn."

"I don't know, I mean, I know we do...but a small part of me wants to see her suffer for all the pain she's put me through over the years." I whispered back.

"How about we start an argument," Fay whispered. "A fake one, just between us? We can throw in some of our fake stage fighting. While everyone's distracted by us, Charlie will slowly die."

"This is why you're my best friend." I whispered nudging her. "Ready?"

"Hell yeah." She whispered back taking a step back and handing her hammer to Daryl, I handed my katana and the damn machete over to Luke. This, was going to be good.
