Empocalyse

Chapter 19

Shawn leans against the door of the store. He sighs as he has his arms crossed. "You almost done in there?"

Ellis shrugs. "Theres" barley is anything in here.." He puts back a candy bar.

Carrie shoves some soda drinks in her bag. "Still it"s enough for now."

Ellis looks over at Mike. "Really?"

Mike has candy shoved in his mouth. "What?"

"Idiot" Ellis chuckles a little as he turns to the counter. "Looks like when Carley left here some people broke in to rob the place." He looks at the cash register.

"Why steal money when the world came to an end?" Carrie looks at the register too.

Ellis shrugs. "People will still be people..." He closes the register.

Carrie looks through the window to see Carley sitting next to Shawn. "Its awful what happen to her.."

Ellis looks over. "Yeah..." He looks at the ground. "Look lets just leave" He grabs Mike.

"B-but chocolate!" Mike grabs some candy before he is picked up.

Carrie laughs. She walks past them. She stands by Carley. "Here" She hands her a soda. "Still cold"

Carley grabs it. "Thank you" She opens the drink. "Smells good" She laughs as she takes a drink.

"Carrie.."

Everyone jumps when hearing a voice.

"The h.e.l.l?" Shawn holds his shotgun tight.

Ellis and Mike protect Carrie.

Carrie looks around the area. "Who do you think said that?"

Mike shrugs. "Could be a creep" He takes a bite out of a bar.

Ellis swallows hard.

"Did one of you say my name?" She asked.

Ellis and Mike shook their heads.

Carrie looked around. "Okay..."

John walked from the corner of the gas station.

Everyone turned to see him.

"My G.o.d..." Shawn"s mouth dropped.

Carrie"s eyes widen. "John-" She was about to run to him but Shawn stopped her.

"No.." He shook his head not taking his eye"s off John. "Something"s off..."

John has his arms up. "I come in peace" He slowly walks towards them.

"That"s far enough" Shawn holds his gun toward him.

John stops.

"Shawn!" She pulls down his gun. "It"s only John."

"Carrie ask yourself. Why now does he show up? Where was he?" Shawn asks as he stares at John.

She looked at John. "He has a point." She crosses her arms. "What happen to you?"

John sighs. "Great.." "I was kidnapped."

"Bulls.h.i.t" Shawn growls.

John shoots him a look. "I was!"

"And I"m the president of the United States.." Shawn points his gun again at John. "So I"ll ask again. What happen to you?"


"I was!" John puts his arms down. "I escaped a few days ago. They took me when I went to go p.i.s.s when it was my turn to stay up and watch on the bus." He sighs. "Shawn..they took June"s life...they...they shot her...in front of me..they-"

Shawn grabbed John without him looking by the shirt. He held him high. "Shut your mouth! Shut it!"

John looked worried at him. "Shawn..." He felt sorry for him. "It"s true...she didn"t want to go with them so they killed her. She fight until her last breath.."

Ellis clutched his fists.

John looked down at Shawn. "I"m sorry..."

Shawn set John down. "Just...just.." He bite his lip. "Just tell me that she was a strong fighter...before she left!" Tears rolled down his face.

John looked at the ground. "She did."

Shawn smiled. "Thank you.."

Carrie went to John. She slapped him. "That"s for leaving!" She than hugged him. "And this is for coming back"

He smiled as he hugged her. "I"m sorry Carrie."

She let go. "I"m happy that your safe." She smiled at him.

He smiled back. "Me too" He looked at Carley. "You met new people?"

"Yeah. I mean she"s new new but we met Miley"s wife. Jackie. She has a cabin in the woods for us to call home right now. It"s super safe." Carrie looked at the ground. "Promise me that you won"t leave again.."

He kissed her head. "I promise."

Everyone headed back to Jackie"s cabin. As they approached it, John looked at the tall wired fence.

"Woah" He said in amazement.

Carrie laughed. "Yeah. She isn"t playing around."

Carley smiled. "I"m just happy to find others." She looked at all of them. "One"s that aren"t dead."

They laughed.

Jackie opened the gate. "Took you long enough." Her eyes met with John. She than looked at Carley. "I see you brought new faces."

"John is my uncle. He was taken a while ago." Carrie said.

"Okay." Jackie met John"s eyes again.

"And I"m just the girl they found near the gas station. I promise I won"t harm anyone!" Carley looked nervous.

"Well lets just get inside before any day walkers come lurking." Jackie rushed them inside the fence before closing it. "Dinner is about ready." She walked to the cabin. "Sit around the fire if you want while you wait." She headed inside.

"Carley if you want I can show you the showers." Carrie smiled at her.

Carley nodded. "Please do"

They headed inside.

Mike sat next to the fire on the ground, pulling out some candy.

"Can I have one?" Ellis asked, sitting next to him.

Mike handed him a chocolate bar. "That"s all you get."

"But I want some gum too!" Ellis fight with Mike over the candy.

Shawn and John laughed.

"It"s good you see you again." Shawn said looking at John.

John smiled. "It"s good to be seen."

Shawn sighed.

"Hey, I know she"ll be happy for you. I mean you are a good father. You watch over Ellis, Derek and Faith." John smiled as he patted his shoulder.

Shawn clutched his fists.

"Shawn?" John looked confused.

"Faith...she"s...she"s dead John.." Shawn bite his lip. "She died when she ran up to her dead mother." Flashes of June biting into Faith. "She didn"t make it.."

John swallowed hard. This was his fault. He killed his wife and after that he helped kill his own best friends daughter. He looked around nervous. He knew he needed to leave.

"I"m going to go see what they are making." Shawn walked inside the cabin.

John sighed. "s.h.i.t.." Something than hit John"s leg. He quickly looked around to see Finn standing on one of the sides of the cabin. He was signaling for John. He walked to him. "What the h.e.l.l do you want?"

Finn looked around. "I thought you left?"

"I went with your dad. But I came back for Carrie." John crossed his arms.

"Are you going to tell them about me?" Finn asked nervous.

John rolled his eyes. "No. Your fine. I don"t care weather they know or not."

"Okay. Well I"ll catch you later." Finn walked away.

John leaned on the cabin. "Moran."

Ellis stood on the corner out of site of John. "So it was true..." He walked away.

*Later that night*

Everyone was in bed. Except for John. He was wondering the cabin. "Carrie.." He whispered in one room. He than saw her sleeping in her bed. He quietly went to her. "Carrie.." He shook her.

She opened her eyes slowly. "Hmm?"

"Get ready. We are leaving." John looked around to make sure he didn"t wake anyone.

"But..but why?" She yawned.

"Just get ready.." He ordered. "Meet me outside when you are done." He walked out quickly. Closing the door. He sighed. He knew he needed to leave before Joe saw him or some one finds out about him. He makes his way to the front door, grabbing his bag. He walks out.

Suddenly, someone pins him to the wall.

John looks at the person. "You?"

Jackie smiled as she holds a gun to his chin. "I remember you..."

He looks at her crazy. "Do I know you?"

She laughs. "You should." She pulled her name tags out of her shirt. "I was only a year under you but I knew way more than you could ever."

He swallowed hard.

"Still don"t remember me?" She smiled. "Maybe this will jog your memory." She pulled her shirt up a little until it met her under b.o.o.b. "See this?" A long scar went from her under b.o.o.b to her belly b.u.t.ton.

John"s eye"s widen.

She smiled big. "I knew that would do it." She put her shirt back. "I remember everything about you. How you couldn"t stand your brother or his wife. Or how they had a daughter that would never amount to nothing." She dug her gun hard into his chin. "I also remember you nagging about how you would one day make sure anyone that didn"t understand your beliefs would pay the price!"

"And...and you did?" He looked at her scared.

She nodded. "I"m going to make you pay for hurting me...and every one of my friends.."
