The Void: Frozen Threat

Broken Path To Hope

A/N: Hello readers been a week or so since i've been able to sit down and right stuff, been dong important things and worrying about my education...now let's get back to the story!

Blood spatters a wall as a man holding a metal bat beats down on an infected, he stops when a hand is placed on his shoulder.

"Opie...stop it's dead" 

"Why can't we leave yet huh...this place is bullshit we just having to keep killing our own who died a week ago!" I took a deep breath trying not to punch the man for being disrespctful.

Before I could say a rude remark to him someone whistled behind me and I turned to see Sabrina motioning from the truck she has got running.

"Come on Alex, this thing doesn't got much gas!" I smiled a little before looking at Opie and hiving him a look, he put his head down and grabbed his bag following me to the truck.

As we loaded in and I took the wheel from Sabrina who opted for the backseat while Opie called shotgun. I had grown to know Opie through the last week since he was the only other person trapped with us. He had short outburst of rage here and there because he had said he lost two people he loved in the last week, it made me feel bad as we drove further and further from what had been our home.

"So the plan is we find the others and then we go to New Hope?" I listened to Sabrina and him talking but I became worried about everyone else who made it out and thinking of how we would contact them.

(Beta's P.O.V)

I looked around in my dream feeling rather safe and protected for once, I was about to walk towards a distant light when car doors slamming shut woke me up causing me to roll off the bed I had slept on. I slowly grabbed my pistol clicking the silencer onto it while I walked down the hallway. I peaked into Jax's room only to see he was missing and when I paused to think I heard shouting from outside which made me bolt down the stairs and out the door running into a terrifying sight. Three unknown men stood beating down Jax who looked beaten and bloody while another man had turned around spotting me and before I could shoot my now raised pistol another gun was stuck against my head making me drop my gun to the ground. I scanned the faces spotting nothing that stood out but I knew right away when the one guy approached me they were trouble.

"Beta...don't trust...them!" Jax called before being kicked in the ribs multiple times over and over again till blood dripped from his mouth.

"So...Beta my name is Nero, I assume your very confused but I'm guessing you were going to New Hope right?" Before I could respond he just snatches my bag scanning through the contents until he finds the map of it.

"What are you doing?" I looked at him slightly with caution and suspicion, I took a quick glance at the person behind me and was surprised to see a women with a mask and a cloak only her eyes were visable but they seemed...dead.

"The reason we came here is because we need your stuff and if you say no, your walker friend-" I cut him off with a question.

"What do you mean walker?" He looked generally surprised.

"You didn't here about the mutated virus, when someone dies now they have a chance of being like your friend over there" He pointed to Jax who tried to stand up but he was punched again.

"Dead...but not dead, this world can't get worse" I thought I had changed the subject but he grabbed my gun and all my ammo only leaving the food and a little water since the rest was spilled all over.

"It was nice meeting you but we gotta go, sorry it had to end this way bonita" I watched as he climbed into his car followed by his men and the women with the cloak and they drove off him blowing a kiss to me as he drove by.
