Thread: Never Safe (randomname98766789 and Galaxie)

At this point, everyone inside of the car was desperate. They might not have had any weapons but an improvisation as Rick suggested was definitely the best bet. The belt of some pants, the zipper teeth of a jacket, the wood off the train car itself they needed to use something, anything to try and help save themselves. This place, Terminus, had a history. They would not know it but the very people to hold them captive now used to have this place as a real sanctuary until some evil people arrived and had other plans and put them into this same position. From that point on, Gareth made sure that they all knew it was either kill or be killed and their entire outlook and perspective on life now was permanently altered and that was how it got to this point. They would have food for a long time now with all these people and they also would not mind having a bit of fun with them as well. They all congregated and chatted now away from the car as they went over how things were going to be. Now they were calculated and precise in everything that they do, never to be outdone or risk what they had risked a long time ago. It was no longer about doing something good or being human beings, it was all about survival. Tara listened to this mystery woman speak her name and she made a valid point. She would say the exact same thing except these circumstances were not something to be happy about. However, she did have that brief moment of just flipping out inside about meeting a beautiful woman with a cute name and a pretty smile even though it was small and pained. Something in those brown eyes of hers showed hurt and sorrow. She had definitely been through a lot as they all had and there was something itching inside of the young woman that wanted to comfort Adrian and help her even though they might have just met. If they actually do make this out alive, which Tara wasnt sure that they would, she might take a chance with trying to talk to Adrian and see what kind of friendship they could have. Hell, the world had already ended anyways and being rejected wasnt nearly as bad as being bitten by a walker, so what did it matter? Yeah, you are right. This is a bad circumstance and its not pretty. I havent been with this group long but they are really nice people and I think they know what they are doing. Tara spoke, trying to give some reassurance mainly to herself that they were going to be alright. She wanted to talk with her more and learn about Adrian but now was definitely not the time. She simply reached down into her pockets for something, anything to use as a weapon. There was some old necklace she found that she tried to keep for good luck. It had a sharp end and that was about all she had. Who would have thought that someone would bring a necklace to a gun fight? She mused quietly to herself in a sad tone. This wasnt right. She never could understand what would make some people turn out this way as the people at Terminus was. Jack slowly let his gaze fall down into Beths blue eyes. Those eyes have always been so important to him. There was never a better feeling than waking up in the morning and turning over to see those baby blues the first thing as he was awake. She was so innocent and so sweet. She didnt need to be in this kind of world and it wasnt fair. The major reason for Beths maturity and knowledge about survival was in fact because of her boyfriend Jack. Obviously he always looked to do everything for her that he could in this time, to protect her and find food for her and keep her warm but he knew what the reality was. He might not be around forever but he would be damned if Beth wouldnt. This was the kind of love where her life was more important than his in his own opinion. He trained Beth with everything he could think of to try and get her to take a grasp and an understanding of this world and how to live. However he didnt plan on leaving her anytime soon. They did promise each other forever and he did not want this world to ruin their plans. He knew that if some reason that he lost Beth, he would not be willing to push forward anymore and that was a fact. So far they have done alright together and this was probably the closest brush with death since the prison ordeal. He felt like such a failure when Hershel was killed. The old man already accepted Jack into the family long ago and unlike the stereotypical ways of relationships, he adored the boyfriend of his daughter and the way he treated Beth and protected her in the outbreak form beginning until his dying day made him know that his daughter was in good hands. Jack wished he could have saved Hershel but he couldnt do it and while it was definitely not his fault, he blamed himself for it. Finally, Jack pulled his arms away from Beth and then knelt down as he tried to think of what to do for a weapon. The first thing he did was unlace his shoes, taking the shoestrings to maybe use as a choking weapon if he got the chance. Other than that, he also took out his belt and replicated Abrahams contraction of tearing the meal loop where he could have something like a dagger in between his fingers. It was a nice little contraption if he said so himself. After this was done, he stood again and leaned down to press a very gentle kiss to Beths cheek. I love you Beth. We will find a way out of this and I promise I will not let anyone hurt you. He spoke firmly and confidently. If anyone even got near Beth, they would have to put a bullet through his head to stop him. All of a sudden, Daryl spoke up after looking through the cracks of the car. All right, Ive got four of them pricks coming our way He spoke in a dry, calm voice as usual. Nodding, Rick stood and everyone gathered near the door. You all know what to do. Go for their eyes first. It went silent and then a mans voice called out, instructing them to have their backs against the wall on either side of the car but of course, no one moved. The next thing to happen surprised everyone as there was noise of walking on top of the metal cart and then the top opened just for a smoke grenade type of device to be dropped inside. Move! Abraham shouted and everyone dispersed. Tara ran right back to the corner where she and Adrian sat before and Jack grabbed his blonde lover and pulled her tight to his chest, back away from the grenade as he tried to shield Beth from what was about to happen. Everyone was coughing as the doors open and the men entered with gas mask on their faces. They ended up grabbing Bob, Rick, Daryl, Glenn, Jack, and Beth from the car. The men were lined up beside three other men that they hadnt seen before, tied up and force down onto their knees in front of some kind of contraption that would be used to catch the blood. Jack looked around and once his senses came to him, he saw to his side that they had Beth with a cleave gag in her mouth, hands zip tied behind of her back and ankles zip tied together as well and then Jack just went off in a rage. He hopped up and there wasnt much he could do but he threw a furious head butt at the man closest to him but that was about as far as he got until three others gathered around him, one with a baseball bat, one with a pipe, and one holding him as he was hit in the stomach over and over again, knocking the wind out of him until he was finally tossed back down roughly beside the others. He felt so helpless. They had Beth and he couldnt do anything about it. Meanwhile in the car the smoke was clearing out and there was mass panic. Tara looked around to notice everyone that was gone and they all tried to look out of the car to try and see anything, something, but there was nothing to be seen. Everyone was dead silent now and Tara was shivering, curled up in the corner now, breathing rapidly and obvious scared out of her mind. Now one man started at the far right holding a bat, hitting the person in the back of the head while another slit their throat. They did this all the way down until they got to Glenn and before it could happen, Gareth stopped it by asking for the males shot count to write it down in a note pad. While this was going on, Jack groaned and was trying his best to stand up and get moving but as soon as he made a move, another guy had punched him right back down. Jack was desperate, desperate to get to Beth.
