Your eyes scan the room for any way to escape, there sits a can of gasoline in the corner and the two people who grabbed you and brought you here stand at the front. You look over to your right and see Clem looking over at you.
"No Talking!" The female on the right screams. Almost everyone that was whispering, stops. You struggle with your binds, it's loose. Really loose. did these idiots mean to make it this loose or are they doing it to get a reason to shoot you. A little bit more... Your free! Another survey tells you that there are only two weapons, the people that hold them are the ones that brought you here.
You move your feet closer to your body but since your in the back row, no one behind you can see your hands. Quick movements, quick movements. The thought runs through your head like an olympic runner. Jumping up, you run forward towards the female; hoping shes weaker then the male. The surprise on their face is obvious, once you reach her you grab her gun raise it up you fire two shots. One of your Shots hit her, then shoot the male after the female drops. Quickly grabbing the females sharp knife you stand up again.
"Please, let us out." A male from the front with no hair and a black shirt says on his knees. You walk to Clem who's in the second row with the other AK. You pull out your new knife and cut the ties on her arms and hand her the AK.
"Thanks." You nod. And start heading towards the door.
"No! No! Please!" Another one screams. Are these good people or bad ones. "We can't save them. We don't know who they are." You murmur.
You open the door and step out with clem. If their smart, they'll know how to get out of their ties. Clem opens the other door and you quickly aim the AK. The door opens to a woman with a bottle. You pull the trigger once and a single bullet flies out into the woman's head. She drops against the locker her blood all over it. the room has a counter next to a locker another door is to the left. Cries rain out from the locker, Clem searches the woman and finds a key. She raises it up to the locker and opens the door.
Inside is AJ his face bloody from the woman's brains raining onto his face from the locker. Clem picks him up, handing you her AK-47. "Shh-Shh. It's okay. It's okay." She pats his back as AJ examines you. "Let's get out of here okay?" You say, she nods and the three of you walk through another door to the left of where you came in. Beds and bunk beds lay against the walls. Leaving a path to another open doorway.
You reach the end of the room and step into the other room. A red car sits in the entrance to a garage. With an open door. The keys are still in the ignition. Clem hands you AJ and gets into the driver's seat. AJ and you get into the passenger seat.
Your mind flashes back to the people you killed earlier. They called you savages. The building was also on fire. Did they think you were people that take kids. So if the people that you left alive were children takers. That means...you killed innocent people and let the bad people live.
"Okay, where to?" You shrug your shoulders.
"Can't go back to Richmond, that whole place is a war zone." You say with AJ sitting in your lap. "We need to-" you get interrupted. "Go?" You hear a small voice say from your lap.
"Yeah, we need to...go, but it's okay. We're survivors, and the first rule of survival is....Never go alone." Clem looks from the wheel over at you and AJ.
"Clem, Y/N." He says, does he really.. remember you? You hold him tighter to your chest. "That's right, we've really missed you. But we're sorry that we left you. I know where we'll go, we'll find another home, together." You wipe another tear from your face. A quick move of your arm and you wipe it across AJ's face, the blood leaves his face and sits on your now, bloodied sleeve.
Clem grabs the gear and AJ reaches for her hand. He grabs her pinkie but quickly pulls it back. She shifts the gears and backs up. She looks out of the back window, driving backwards. We'll find another home. That's for sure and we'll finally be safe together.
The End of the short story.
