The Honor Saga: Episode VII - The Screaming Dead

**The Honor Saga: Episode VII - The Screaming Dead** is the seventh story of the Honor Saga. This will be the most outlandish, far from Scream as I'll ever get. This story focuses on Clearwood's downfall under the control and terror of Tarevender leader, Negan.

## Plot and Setting

The survivors known as the Clearwood Club suffer the most in the most brutal way. Not just by murder. But by fear and control. Tarevender, under the leadership of Negan, has done what no other Scream villain in the Honor stories has done -- BROKEN OUR HEROS.

## Chapter 1

NEGAN: I simply cannot decide.

Scott Lane, Tyler Lane, Nancy Lane, Ali Rodriguez, Charlie Rodriguez, Iris Rodriguez, Patrick Villane, Bella Howard Curtis, Spencer Drake, Nicole Price, Chris Osburn, Kevin Andrews, and Mandy Andrews are all kneeled down in line. All the while, NEGAN VENEDICT, the leader of Tarevender, is trying to decide who to kill with his trusty axe called, “AXEL.”

NEGAN: I got an idea.

Negan approaches the kneeled group and points the axe at each member.

Negan ponders for a moment, aiming his axe at someone, but does not see who. He turns and smiles. He points his bat at the chosen victim --

Kevin (Axe).pngIT!
Everyone begins to panic. Especially Mandy, who is fearing for her husband’s life. But Kevin, on the other, is brave and tough. He holds his hands out, giving everyone the, “Stay cool. Don’t do anything. I can handle this.” signal. He has accepted his fate.

NEGAN: Anybody moves. Anybody says anything. Slit little blondie’s (Nancy) throat and feed her to the dogs. And then we’ll start. You can breathe (Ali, who is hyperventilating), you can blink (Scott, who is blinking with tears), you can cry (Mandy, who is crying over her husband’s upcoming murder.)

Kevin turns to Mandy and gives the “I LOVE YOU” hand signal.

NEGAN: Hell...You’re all gonna be doing that!

And with that, Negan slams the axe into Kevin’s forehead. Everyone, more specifically Mandy, screams. Negan looks down to find that, despite having an axe to the head, Kevin is still alive and looking back up at him.

NEGAN: Oh, look at that! TAKING IT LIKE A CHAMP!

Despite being injured badly, Kevin gives Negan a look of hate and says a line that we know and love; “SUCK...MY...NUTS!” And with that, Negan continues to hack Kevin’s head down. Kevin Andrews, husband of Mandy, former doctor of Zero, and a member of Clearwood, is dead. Even after he is beyond dead, Negan continues to chop him up. Negan says, "You hear that? He said 'Suck my nuts!'" He continues to hack up what is left of Kevin's head.

Everyone is crying. Including our beloved badasses Scott, Tyler, and Patrick are crying over their fellow tough badass Kevin.

## Chapter 2

Everyone is shocked, in horror, and mourning the loss of Kevin Andrews. As our main characters cry, Negan laughs. He stares at his axe and says, “Oh, my goodness! Look at this!” He swings the axe, which flings Kevin’s blood on everyone’s faces. He approaches them and shoves the axe at their face, saying, “You guys! Look at my dirty boy!” He continues to laugh and taunt them. He sees Mandy mourning the most and realizes that she is Kevin’s wife. He asks her if they were together. Mandy’s crying confirms this. He says, “That sucks.” But he tells her that there was a reason for all of this. He refers to Kevin as “Hairy” (as Kevin is NOT a redhead like…\*Spoilers to The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere\*...Abraham) and says that Hairy took one or six or seven for the team.

Negan leaves Mandy to cry, laughing, and continues to look at all of the survivors. He sees Ali and finally recognizes her. Negan tells her that he remembers her as a little girl. He reminds her of how “cute” she was back then but how “hot” she is now. Negan suggests that he should fuck her brains out now. The idea of being raped makes Ali cry. And with that -- TYLER SNAPS! Tyler jumps up and decks Negan in the face. Negan, who is a big-strong guy, is actually pushed backwards by Tyler’s punch -- finally cementing Tyler’s toughness that we have been waiting to see for a long time. Negan looks up -- that’s right UP -- to find that Tyler is much bigger than him.

Joseph and two other Tarevenders grab him. But even then, Tyler still grabs Negan and throws a few punches at him. Negan has to run out of his grip. Negan is impressed with Tyler’s toughness. It takes Joseph and the other two guys a few kicks and punches to put Tyler down. Seriously, you can’t get any more badass than -- Punching Negan enough to make him go backwards, still attacking with three guys on, and taking a few kicks and punches. TYLER IS BADASS! Negan laughs and says, “That...is a No-no! The whole thing...not one bit of that shit flies here.” Joseph points a crossbow at Tyler, asking Negan if he wants him to kill Tyler for him. Negan grabs Tyler’s hair, getting a good look at his face. He sees the toughness of Tyler. He admires his looks. Negan tells Joseph, “No...you don’t kill that. That handsome badass is too valuable.” Joseph and the others pull Tyler back in line. Negan gets up and starts talking to everyone again.

NEGAN: Anyways...that's not how it works. Now, I already told you people -- first one's free, then -- what'd I say? I said I would shut that shit down! No exceptions. Now, I don't know what kind of lying assholes you've been dealing with... but I'm a man of my word. First impressions are important. I need you to know me. So...\*signals for Lucille...which Joseph hands him\*...back to it.

Negan slams Lucille over -- CHARLIE’S HEAD. He does it a second time. Iris and Ali scream for him. Charlie lifts up his dented and messed up head. His eyeball has popped out of his socket. He gurgles in agony. Negan kneels down to him and says, “Buddy, you still there? I just don't know. It seems like you're trying to speak, but you just took a hell of a hit. I just popped your skull so hard, your eyeball just popped out, and it is gross as shit!” Charlie turns to his wife and daughter, saying, “Irs...Ali...I’ll find you.”

Everyone proceeds to cry. Negan notices the heartbreak on everyone. He says, “Oh, hell. I can see this is hard on you guys. I am sorry. I truly am. But I did say it. No exceptions!” And with that, Negan proceeds to beat and bash Charlie with Lucille. As he does so, everyone looks on in horror, shock, and heartbreak. Tyler has a guilty look on face as if to ask, “Did I do this? Did I kill Charlie?” Tyler proceeds to cry hard over this, feeling like he’s at fault for this. Charlie Rodriguez, husband of Iris, father of Ali, and a high ranking member of Clearwood, is dead. Even Patrick, who hardly knew Charlie, is crying.

Even after Charlie is beyond dead, Negan continues to bash in whatever is left of Charlie’s head. Hearing everyone crying, Negan calls them out, “You bunch of pussies!” He tells them, “I’m just getting started.” He continues to bash the brains of the late Charlie Rodriguez. He finally stops, stating that “Lucille is thirsty” and calls her a “Vampire bat.” He walks up to them. Everyone is still crying. Negan looks at all the crying people. He asks, “What? Was the joke that bad?” Scott looks up at Negan and says, “I’m going to kill you.” Negan kneels down and asks him to repeat what he said. Scott sniffles and says, “Not today...not tomorrow...But I’m gonna kill you.” Negan just stares at Scott and smiles.

Negan hands Lucille to Joseph and is given Axel. Everyone thinks that Negan is about to chop Scott up. But Negan places Axel in his belt. Then he grabs Scott, dragging him towards the trailer. Negan tells everyone that he’ll be back and that maybe Scott will be with him. If not, well they can turn these people inside out…”I mean...the ones that are left.” Negan throws Scott inside the trailer before getting inside, himself.

## Chapter 3

Negan has thrown Scott into the trailer. After walking in, Negan slams the trailer door shut. He throws Scott to the wall. He spins around, pulling out Axel, and slams his beloved axe onto the table. Negan walks over to the driver’s seat and sits down. He says, “Let’s take a ride.” Scott stares at the axe, contemplating on taking it. As this occurs, Negan is struggling to start the engine. Negan calls the trailer a piece of shit. He looks up at the rear-view mirror and mocks Scott, “I’m gonna kill you.” He chuckles and asks Scott, “Are you kidding me?” He reminds Scott what he just did to Kevin and Charlie, yet Scott still had the balls to threaten him.

Negan tells Scott that his best chance is to get up, grab the axe, and drive it into the back of his head. Negan says, “See how you do.” as Scott considers his options. Negan tells him to, “Go ahead. GRAB THE DAMN AXE!” Scott jumps up, grabs the axe, and charges at Negan. However, before he can axe the Tarevender leader, Negan turns around and points a rifle at him. Negan quietly orders Scott to drop it. Scott does as he’s told. Negan hits Scott in the gut with the butt of the rifle. Negan grabs the axe and slams it on the floor in front of Scott. Negan tells him, “Don’t make me get up again.” Negan looks at the window, noticing the sun coming up. Negan points out that dawn is breaking, therefore, it’s a brand new day.

Negan goes back to the driver’s seat. He tells Scott to think about what happened and to think about what could still happen. Negan starts the engine and drives off. As he drives on, the sun slowly rises. Fog covers the windows. Suddenly, a person’s body is slammed by the trailer, splattering their brains on the window. Negan laughs with amusement over this. He turns to Scott and asks, “Remind you of anyone you know?” He’s, of course, referring to Kevin and Charlie’s head bashing murders. He runs into two more people before they stop.

Negan grabs the axe and sits next to Scott. He tells Scott that, “You are mine!” and tells him that the people (Clearwood) back there are, “Mine!” He walks over to the door and opens it. A crazy person with a knife charges at Negan. But Negan axes him in the head, killing him. Negan tells Scott that they (Tarevender) had released a bunch of crazy psychos from a hospital and uses them to kill people who ran away from Tarevender. Scott turns to the window and sees an army of “Psychos”, as we’ll call them. (NOTE: As oppose to Walkers/Zombies since that does not exist here.)

Negan throws the axe up on the roof. He turns to Scott and says, “Hey, Scott. Go get my axe. Let’s be friends.” But Scott is so traumatized right now to even move or speak. Negan hears another psycho coming for him. He slams the barbed wire part of Lucille up his face, slicing him up, which kills the Psycho. Seeing that Scott isn’t cooperating, he points Lucille at him and demands for him to, “GET MY AXE!” After a moment of hesitation, Scott finally gets up. As he goes for the door, Negan grabs him and pushes him out. Negan shuts the door, leaving Scott out there by himself with the Psychos.

Scott finds himself surrounded by the army of unstable and bloodthirsty Psychos. One goes for him. But he pushes him into a group of Psychos. Another attacks Scott. But he throws the Psycho into another group of Psychos. Scott starts to run, avoiding getting snatched by any of the Psychos. The fog shields him from seeing anything except for the Psychos appearing everywhere. A Psycho grabs him. But Scott decks him in the face. Scott fights off many Psychos before he finds himself behind the the back of the trailer. He finds the ladder and starts climbing up the roof. A Psycho grabs his leg. But Scott kicks him off.

Scott makes it to the roof. He stands in the middle of the roof and stares out to see all the Psychos surrounding the trailer. He turns around to a bridge above and behind the trailer. He sees a dead body hung from the bridge. An emotional and exhausted Scott slowly descends to the floor of the roof and lies down. Negan shouts out to him, “Bet you thought that you were all going to grow old together, sitting around at the table on Sunday dinner in the Happily Ever After. But no. It doesn’t that way, Scott. Not anymore.” He tells Scott to think about what happened.

Scott thinks about Kevin and Charlie’s brutal murders. Negan tells him that they may have died, but that it doesn’t mean the others have to. Negan shouts for Scott to give him his axe. But Scott struggles to even move. So Negan yells aggressively, “GET...ME...MY...AXE!” As Scott slowly gets up, Negan taunts him. “I thought you were the guy, Scott. Maybe you’re not. We’ll give it one more go. Now I want you to really try this time. Last chance. BRING ME MY AXE!” Negan proceeds to shoot the roof, motivating Scott to grab the axe and run across the roof.

Scott jumps off the roof and catches onto the hung body. This causes him to drop the axe. Psychos come under him. As he slowly loses his grip from the body, the Psychos start to grab at his leg, pulling him down. However, Negan guns them down. Many of the Psychos start to run away. Negan tells Scott that, “The clock is ticking.” He closes the window. He shouts for Scott to think about what can still happen. Scott imagines Tyler, Nancy, Ali, Iris, Patrick, Mandy, Bella, Spencer, Chris, and Nicole getting killed with Axel or Lucille. This motivates Scott to get up. He crawls around, looking for the axe as a Psycho stalks him. He finds the axe and grabs it. As the Psycho goes to stab him, Scott axes him in the head, killing him.

Scott runs to the door. He attempts to open it. But it won’t open. Psychos chase at him. He axes down multiple Psychos. But eventually, they begin to overwhelm him to the point that he cannot defend himself. Scott feels helpless. Suddenly, the door opens and Negan opens fire on the Psychos. The rest of the Psychos run away. Scott jumps into the trailer and closes the door. Negan turns to Scott, opening his hand out for him to give him the axe. Rather than take the opportunity to kill him, Scott hands him the axe. Negan smiles and says, “Attaboy!” As Scott sits down, Negan goes back to the driver’s seat. He starts the engine and drives back to the group.

Negan and Scott arrive back at the group’s spot. Negan stops the trailer and approaches Scott. He claps his hands, telling him, “We’re here, Prick.” Scott just looks up to Negan, who smiles at him, and says, “This must be hard on you. Right? Losing two of your own like…\*snaps his fingers\*...Getting em clipped like that, one nut, then the other, and right in front of your kids? That is some fucked up shit!” Negan finds some rubbing alcohol. As he uses it to clean the axe, Negan taunts Scott about how Scott was in charge, how he must have probably became addicted to it, but that now it’s over. But he tells Scott that he could still lead a nice productive life producing for him (Negan). And with that, Scott feels that he has no choice but to give in. Scott and Clearwood will have to become Tarevenders to save their lives.

## Chapter 4

Negan throws Scott out of the trailer and drags him in front of his group, whom are all traumatized by the events that have occurred. Negan smiles at everyone and says, “Here we are.” Negan asks Scott if he knew what that trip was about. Scott hesitates to speak. Negan tells him to speak when when he’s spoken to. Scott, now broken and weak, caves in, saying, “Okay. Okay.” Negan tells him that the trip was about how Scott looked at him. Negan wanted to change that. Negan says that he wanted Scott to understand. Scott begging, tells Negan that he understands. Negan smiles and says, “Good.”

Negan takes a look at everyone else and asks if they understands. Everyone is so scared and traumatized, that they all say, “Yes.” Everyone except for -- Tyler, who is still giving him the “I’m gonna kill you look.” Negan takes notice of this. Negan says that Tyler is still giving him that look like, “I shit in his scramble eggs and that’s not gonna work.” Negan tells his men to point guns at everyone’s heads, which they do. Negan tells them to level them towards their noses so that if they have to fire -- “Boom!...It’ll be a real mess.”

Negan tells Joseph and two other Tarevenders to hold down Scott, Ali, and Nancy. Joseph forces Scott down on the ground, a Tarevender forces Ali next to Scott, and the other holds Nancy down next to Ali. Negan grabs Tyler, handing him the axe, and pulls him in front of his father, girlfriend, and sister. Negan tells Tyler that he has three choices: Either kill his father by chopping his head off, chop off his girlfriend’s arm off, or cut off sister’s left two fingers (middle and index). Negan has a Tarevender wrap a belt around Ali’s arm. Negan asks Joseph if he has a pen. Joseph says “Yeah” and throws him a black marker. Negan draws a line across Ali’s arm, where to chop her arm off.

Realizing what he’s forcing him to do, Tyler begs him to not make him do this. Negan makes it clear that if he tries to be a tough-badass again, he’ll have the other Tarevenders kill the other survivors behind them. Tyler looks back at the others, then at Scott, Ali, and Nancy. He can’t bring himself to do this. Scotts offers to sacrifice himself to save Nancy, Ali, and the others. But Nancy tells him to cut her fingers off. Ali is too scared and crying to offer her arm as a sacrifice.

Negan says that he knows that he’s got to give him time to process this for a second, saying that it makes sense. But that he still needs him to decide or all these are going to die, then Scott dies, then Ali, then Nancy, then the people back home dies (more survivors not seen yet), and then Tyler will die, eventually. Negan says that he’s going to have Tyler breathing for a few years just so he can stew on it. Fearing for her daughter’s life, Iris tells Negan that he doesn’t have to do this, because they understand. Negan points out that they (everyone else) understands but doesn’t think that Tyler understands.

Negan tells Tyler to decide now or he’ll chop all three of them himself. Tyler tells Negan to not make him hurt them, saying “It can be me. It can be me. You can do it to me. I’ll go with you.”, offering himself as a sacrifice. Negan says, “No. This is the only way.” Negan stands up and says, “Tyler...pick up the axe and cut something off of one of your loved ones.” Tyler is hesitating so much. Confused. Negan tells him that “Not making a decision...is a BIG decision!” He asks Tyler if he wants to see these people die, saying that he will see every ugly thing. Tyler begins to cry. Negan asks him if he’s going to make him count, which he proceeds to do. “THREE!” Tyler starts crying and begging, saying, “Please! It can be me! Please!” Snot and tears cover Tyler’s face, destroying the badassness that we love about him. “TWO!” Tyler continues to beg Negan, sobbing extremely hard. Negan grabs his face, saying, “This is it.” Tyler begins to scream out loud, “AHHHH!” as Negan says, “ONE!”

Tyler observes his options; kill his father, cut Ali’s arm off, or cut off Nancy’s fingers. Seeing that killing his father is not an option, he must choose between the two girls. But he doesn’t want Ali to live without a full arm. Nancy continues to offer herself up. And with that, seeing that Nancy’s injuries would be the least worst of them all, Tyler grabs his sister’s hand. He looks into her eyes and says, “I’m sorry, Nancy.” as he cries. Nancy smiles with a tear streaming down her face, telling her brother to “Just do it.” Tyler raises the axe over Nancy’s fingers. He goes to swing the axe down. But Negan stops him. Tyler breathes, slowly stops crying, realizing that Negan has changed his mind.

Negan tells Tyler and Scott, “You answer to me. You provide for me. You belong to me. Right?” Scott and Tyler, both tough badasses now weak and broken, both nod their heads. Unsatisfied with their way of answering, Negan grabs Tyler and shouts in his face, “SPEAK WHEN YOU’RE SPOKEN TO!” Tyler says, “Yes. I answer to you, I provide for you, and I belong to you.” Negan smiles at the sight of Tyler’s horrified and helpless face. He says, “That...is the look that I wanted to see.”

Negan gets up and says, “We did it. All of us, together...even the dead guys on the ground (referring to Kevin and Charlie)...Hell, they get the spirit award for sure.” Negan then declares that, “Today was a productive damn day!” Negan says, “Now, I hope for all of your sake, that you get it now. That you understand how things work.” The survivors stay silent, traumatized, and caving in to him. Negan states that things have changed. “Whatever you had going for you...that is over now.” And with that, The Clearwood Club, also known as Surfack, is dissolved. Our beloved survivors are now -- TAREVENDERS.

Negan tells Joseph to load Tyler into the van. Joseph and another Tarevender grab Tyler and throws him into the van. Negan approaches him, telling him that he’s his now and if he defies him, Negan will rape…Forgets her name...Negan asks Jospeh what Tyler’s girlfriend’s name is again. Joseph says that her name is Ali. Negan says, “Wow, that actually sounds right.” Negan threatens to rape Ali until she is broken up both inside and outside. Then he closes the van door. He turns to everyone and says, “Welcome to a brand new beginning, you sorry shits!”

Negan informs them that since they’re not ready to kill people on missions that they see as innocent, that their job is to track down runaway Tarevenders, who they see as evil anyways, and to provide food and supplies for them. He tells them that he’s going to leave them a truck for them. Negan turns around and leads his people off, telling our survivors, “We’ll be back in one week for our first offering. Until then..Tata!” Negan and the Tarevenders descend from the area.

## Chapter 5

After the Tarevenders have left, we find Scott, Nancy, Ali, Patrick, Iris, Bella, Mandy, Spencer, Nicole, and Chris sitting on the ground with Kevin and Charlie’s bodies lying by them. They are no longer the beloved heroic badasses that we’ve grown to love. They are broken and weak. Now members of Tarevenders by force. Iris gets up and starts walking towards Charlie’s body. Everyone looks at her with Scott telling her that she should sit down. But Iris refuses. She collapses next to her husband’s body, crying on his back. Ali joins her mother. They cry and mourn the loss of Charlie. Meanwhile, Mandy is doing the same over Kevin’s body.

Chris, Nicole, and Bella help Iris and Ali pick up Charlie’s body. Meanwhile, Scott, Nancy, Patrick, Mandy, and Spencer help pick up Kevin’s body. As they carry the bodies of the fallen loved ones to be taken back home, Scott remembers Negan’s comment to him about, “Bet you thought that you were all going to grow old together, sitting around at the table on Sunday dinner in the Happily Ever After. But no. It doesn’t that way, Scott. Not anymore.” And with that, we cut to a --

FLASH: WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED (Prepare to cry)

The Clearwood Club is together. Happy and living in peace. They’re all sitting at the table having a Thanksgiving dinner; Scott is at one end of the table. On Scott’s left is Nancy and Patrick holding their baby. Next to them is Timmy Wilson and Alexis Myers. Next to them is Tyler, Ali, and Iris. At the end next to Iris is Charlie and his grandhchild, which is Tyler and Ali’s baby. Next to Charlie, on his left, is Kevin with Mandy. Next to them is Spencer and Noah. Next to them is Nicole and Chris. Next to them is Camille, Bella, and an unnamed boyfriend for Bella. Charlie and Kevin turn to each other and give each other a brotherly smile. In the background, we see a loving pitbull in the background. Many of our survivors throw food at him. It’s clear the dog is the Clearwood pet.

BACK TO NORMAL PRESENT

In the trucks that Negan left for them, our remaining survivors return to their community neighborhood, rightfully named “Clearwood.” Waiting for them is Timmy, Alexis, Camille, Noah, Milos, Kirk, Lana, and the pet pitbull GROMMET. When everyone gets out of the trucks, Grommet starts to whimper, realizing that Charlie, Kevin, and Tyler are not present. When he sees Iris, Ali, and Mandy’s tears, Grommet realizes something is wrong with his masters. He walks up to the women, who hug and pet him. They start crying, knowing that he can sense their absence. Grommet may be a Pit, but he is very loving, caring, protective, and sensitive. He’s the kind of dog people would want to have. He has feelings, too. And his feelings are hurt, sensing that something bad has happened.

Patrick and Nancy hug Timmy, Alexis, and Camille. Nancy is devastated. Noah hugs his mother, asking her what happened. But his mother can’t say anything. After hugging his mother, Noah turns to Bella and hugs her. Scott is still in shock over the events. Grommet walks over to him and looks up to him. Scott pets him, telling him that “They got Tyler. Kevin and Charlie are dead.” Grommet whimpers, understanding the sadness in his tone of voice. Sensing the shock and weakness of Scott, the PItbull safely escorts Scott to his house. Everyone else follows, allowing Grommet to safely escort everyone to their homes in their time of grief.

Later at the field, everyone is together for Kevin and Charlie’s funeral. Mandy stands at Kevin’s grave and Iris and Ali stands at Charlie’s grave. Grommet is lying on the ground between the graves with the grieving women. He’s grieving with them. Everyone stands behind the widows. Patrick comes up next to Nancy, who cries in his arms. He holds her tightly, crying himself. Timmy, Alexis, and Camille, also new to Clearwood and hardly knew the two deceased, are mourning them as well. Alexis is crying with Timmy holding her hand. Camille is sad but not crying.

Scott makes a speech about Charlie and Kevin. He speaks of Charlie, who was brave in joining their group as a Foreign Exchange Student, who fell in love with a wonderful woman (Iris), raising an amazing girl (Ali), and was very much like a brother to him. He says that Kevin didn’t have to stay with them, as he only came to stop Zero. But Kevin became close to everyone, fell in love with Mandy, and showed that he was family to them, too. Kevin was the toughest of the group. He was willing to die to stop Zero, Jyle, Negan, and all of Tarevender. After the speech, everyone proceeds to cry and hug each other. Grommet begins to howl as his way of sobbing.

## Chapter 6

TWO YEARS AGO

We meet MICHAEL IAN BARNES (23), his girlfriend Michelle, and his best friend Dwight. They are walking on the road at night. Suddenly, Tarevenders are after them. Michael, Michelle, and Dwight run into the woods, where they’re surrounded by Psychos. Michael, Michelle, and Dwight pulls out machetes, swords, and axes. Michael uses the machete, Michelle uses the sword, and Dwight uses the axe to kill off as +many Psychos as they can. They continue to run as the path of Psychos starts to clear up. However, they’re caught by Joseph and other Tarevenders.

They are forced on their knees. Negan appears with Lucille. Joseph gives him their weapons. As Negan examines them, he expresses his interest in them. But the weapon that he likes the most is Dwight’s axe. He looks at it. And Negan declares that he likes the axe and that it’s his now. And with that, Negan names Dwight’s axe, “AXEL.” Yes, this is how Negan obtains Axel. Dwight tells Negan that he will take the axe after he’s killed him with it. Negan smiles and says, “As you wish.” Negan slams Dwight’s own axe into Dwight’s head, killing him. Michael and Michelle cry over the death of their friend. Negan turns to Michael and Michelle. He tells them that they shouldn’t have ran away. Negan states that, “Nobody leaves Tarevender.” The Tarevenders knock them both out.

Michael regains consciousness to find himself tied to a chair. He finds that Michelle was raped to death. He cries over his girlfriend’s brutal death. Negan approaches him. Michael calls him a motherfucker. Negan says, “Well, I have fucked many mothers. I may have fucked your mother. But I’m not sure about that, Michael. I know that I did fuck somebody’s mother last night.” Negan laughs. Michael asks him to kill him. Negan refuses, saying that Michael is just too badass to kill. But he is going to be punished for his defiance towards him. Negan and Michael to find a gloved Joseph pulling a hot metal iron out of a flaming furnace.

Negan puts on gloves and is handed the hot iron. Michael begs him to not burn him. But Negan says that he’s got to do something to punish him. Michael begs for him to be just killed. But Negan says that he’s not letting Michael off that easy and quick. He wants Michael to live with the psychical pain and the emotional pain of losing his girlfriend and best friend. Negan tells Michael to hold still, because, “This is gonna hurt.” And with that, Negan places the hot iron on Michael’s face. Michael gives out an agonizing-bloodcurdling scream. As Negan pulls the iron away from Michael’s face, skin that is stuck on the iron is pulled off from his face. Michael sobs in pain. Negan just laughs. Michael eventually ran away again a few weeks later and has never been seen or heard from by Tarevender since then.

FLASH CUT TO: PRESENT DAY

Negan is at his desk and talking to a dark figure. The dark figure is wearing all black. His dark hood brings darkness to his face that makes it appear like he’s wearing a black mask. But his eyes are visible enough to show that he’s maskless. We’ll call this Dark Figure -- MIB (Man in Black). MIB tells Negan that he can be useful to him and will do whatever he can to track down runaways, especially Clearwood, whom Negan just recruited. Negan says that he’s impressed with MIB’s dedication to Tarevender and asks him why he’d want to be involved.

MIB tells Negan that Tarevender is more than just an organization that people see as criminals. It brings hope to those who have lost hope. Bring justice that is not given by the courts. Negan agrees, saying that they aim to please their clients. Negan shakes his hand and says that he’s looking forward to seeing what MIB can do for them. MIB thanks him for the meeting and is escorted out. As MIB is escorted out, he sees Tyler in a cell. The two just stare at each other for a moment. Then MIB moves on.

MIB leaves the Tarevender building and gets on his motorcycle. MIB rides off. We find that MIB is hiding out in the woods. Upon arriving, he pulls off his hood and reveals himself to be -- MICHAEL IAN BARNES (25). We see the burn scar that Negan gave him two years ago. And it’s now do we realize that MIB/Michael is trying to get close to Negan and Clearwood. But why? What is his plan?

## Chapter 7

Joseph is in his apartment of the Tarevender Headquarters. He’s making himself a sandwich. He’s putting in peanut butter and jelly. Another pair of bread is on the side for a second sandwich. Joseph sits down at his recliner chair and starts eating his sandwich while watching TV. The Seahawks game is playing. His big dog name BULL appears. He pets her. He shares a piece of his sandwich with him. After finishing up his sandwich, he checks the time. He goes back into the kitchen. He opens a can of dog food and spreads it on the other slices of bread. He makes it into a dog-food sandwich.

In a prison cell, we find Tyler sleeping against the wall. Joseph bangs at the cell, jerking him awake. Joseph slides the dog food sandwich between the bars, handing Tyler the sandwich. Tyler proceeds to eat it. He is disgusted by the dog food. But Joseph tells him to tough it out, because it’ll be the only type of food that he’s going to eat from now on. Joseph leaves him. Despite how disgusting it is, Tyler eats the sandwich as it is. As Tyler sits there, he hears whimpering. He turns around to see DAISY, Negan’s dog, staring at him so adorably. He smiles, reaching his hand out of the bars, and pets her. Daisy licks his hands. She likes him. We can hear Joseph off screen hollering for her to come back to him. Daisy gives Tyler one more cute stare and runs off back to her evil owner.

Suddenly, we hear the song “EASY STREET” playing in Tyler’s cell. He becomes annoyed with the song, as this isn’t the first time that they’ve forced him to listen to it. He groans with great annoyance over it. He covers his ears. This is how Tarevender is torturing him in hopes to break him into becoming a loyal member of theirs. But he’s not easy to break. As he closes his eyes and rests his head on the wall, he thinks about Ali as a way to stay sane. He remembers her beautiful smile and eyes and everything that he loves about her. He cries, missing her. He vows to escape to save Ali from Negan and Tarevender.

The next morning, the music stops and opening the door is FAT JOEY (20s) with a sandwich. Tyler takes it and eats it. Joey shuts the cell. As Tyler eats the sandwich, he realizes that he didn’t hear the click. It’s not locked. Which means that it’s not closed all the way. Tyler abandons the sandwich and slowly moves the cell door. It opens. Freedom. Tyler looks around and slowly steps out and runs through the corridor. Each time he comes by a door, he makes sure that nobody sees him. Near one door, Daisy approaches him. But he tells her to be quiet and to go away. But Daisy follows him instead. Tyler finds the back door and runs out of it, leaving Daisy behind. She paws at the door, wanting to go with Tyler.

Tyler runs through the parking and finds a motorcycle. He attempts to start it. But, suddenly, Fat Joey, Joseph, and other Tarevenders run out and point their guns at him. Negan comes out, whistling, and holding Axel. He points to Joey, asking him, “What are you?” Joey says, “Tarevender.” Negan asks Joseph, who is right behind him, “What are you?” and Joseph says, “Tarevender.” Negan asks everyone, “What are you?” And they all says, “TAREVENDER!” Negan goes up to Tyler and says, “See that? We're everywhere. And this was your shot to prove to me that fundamental fact was sinking in, and you failed. Which sucks because your life was about to get so much cooler. Am I right?” Fat Joey says, “Damn, right.”

NEGAN: Now, Joseph gave you some options. I don't think you get it yet. So I'm gonna break it down for you. You get three choices. One. You wind up on the spike, and you work for me as a dead man. Two. You get out of your cell, you work for points, but you're gonna wish you were dead. Or three. You work for me. You get yourself a brand new pair of shoes, and you live like a king! The choices seems pretty obvious. You should know, there is no door number four. This is it. This is the only way.

Tyler just stares at him with anger. Negan chuckles and says, “Screw it!” Negan appears to move like he’s about to slam Axel into Tyler. But Tyler doesn’t even flinch. An impressive Negan chuckles with admiration. “WOW! You don’t scare easy. I love that. But Axel...Well...it kind of pisses him off. He finds it to be disrespectful. Lucky for you, he’s not feeling so thirsty. But I am. So, I’m going to go...GET ME A DRINK!”

Negan proceeds to walk off, whistling, while his men circle around Tyler. They go for him. But Tyler proceeds to beat down a few of them. But they overwhelm him to the point that he cannot defend himself and he’s beaten down.

## Chapter 8

Nancy and Patrick return to the Clearwood Community from finding supplies to give to Tarevender. They go into the supply shed and stock them together. It appears that, despite the sadness they’re going through, they are happy doing this together. It’s now obvious to each other that they like each other. After stocking, we go into the main house (the social house) and sit back on the couch together and watches TV. As they relax, their hands get closer and closer to each other. Suddenly, they grab each others hand. They look at each other and smile.

Nancy tells Patrick that she’s glad that he joined them. Patrick smiles and says that he wouldn’t have joined them if it weren’t for her. Nancy suddenly looks down. Patrick asks her what is wrong. Nancy tells him that she has a confession to make. Patrick asks her what it is. Nancy tells him that after learning about him surviving the attack by Carrie Raines, she learned why Tarevender wanted him; Because they wanted him to replace his father, Richard Villane, as Mummy Ghostface. Nancy tells him that she’s the reason for that because she killed his father.

Before Nancy can apologize to him for killing his father, Patrick stops her and tells her, “You don’t need to apologize. You have no reason to be sorry. My father was a bad man. He was never there. He was a murderer and evil. You did the right thing for killing him.” He smiles at her and she smiles back, feeling relieved. Patrick leans to her and they kiss for the very first time. Patrick puts his arm around her and she lays her head on his shoulder. They look happy together. Nancy asks him if he remembers when they met. Patrick smiles and says that he does.

FLASHBACK

Taking place three weeks after Carrie’s death, Patrick, Alexis, Timmy, and Camille are together at Patrck's house. They are watching TV, eating popcorn, and drinking sodas. Patrick hears the doorbell ringing. He answers it to find Nancy and Joseph, before his reveal as Zombie. Nancy, meeting Patrick is only for the first time, is already struck by Patrick’s handsomeness.

Patrick doesn’t recognize them and asks for their names. Nancy and Joseph introduce themselves. Patrick recognizes the name “Nancy Lane” as a high member of Surfack, and lets the duo in. Timmy geeks out when he realizes Nancy Lane is in the same room as him, but doesn’t recognize Joseph. Joseph tells them the lie that he was always a personal fan of Surfack, and he eventually ended up joining after Jyle’s death. Alexis asks Nancy what she’s doing her. She and Joseph explain that they’ve heard of the misery and death Tarevender has given them.

They want to recruit them into joining Surfack. Timmy says that it’s been his lifelong dream to meet all of the survivors, and asks if he can have Nancy’s autograph. Nancy obliges for a fan. Joseph tells Timmy that he also geeked out when he got the offer to join. Patrick tells Alexis and Camille that Surfack could be the perfect place for them. Although Camille doesn’t want to get caught up into any more trouble, she realizes this is safer and agrees to join, and Alexis agrees as well.

Noticing Nancy’s admiration, Patrick looks at her, and she looks at him back. A little nervous, Patrick tells Nancy that she has some great hair. Nancy giggles, and asks Patrick how he got so handsome. It appears that Nancy and Patrick have gotten into a case of love at first sight, though Patrick isn’t too eager to embrace yet, still dealing with Jodie. Patrick says that he was just born this way. Then, Joseph tells everyone to get in his van for the introductions. Alexis, Camille, Patrick and Timmy go in, ready to start the next part of their lives.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Patrick holds Nancy. She tells him that she needs his help. Patrick asks her what she needs. Nancy tells him that she wants free Tyler and kill Negan. Patrick nods, agreeing to help her.

## Chapter 9

Outside in the field of the Clearwood Community Neighborhood, Bella is laying on the grass alone. Noah, who obviously has a crush on her, comes up and lays next her. Bella smiles, always happy to see him. Noah asks her what she’s up to. She says that she’s just relaxing. Noah says that sounds cool. He gets close to her, which she notices. Despite being three years older than him, Bella finds him very handsome for his age. Bella does remind him that she’s sixteen. But Noah also reminds her that she’s still underage enough. Bella smiles and says that he’s right. They turn to each other and kiss. It’s Noah’s first kiss. Their kissing turns into a makeout session on the grass.

As the community gates open, Nancy and Patrick drives off. Hiding behind the bushes, we find Grommet watching this. Wanting to join them, Grommet runs after the car and out of the community gates. Neither anybody inside the community nor Nancy and Patrick see him. Grommet is on the loose. Nancy and Patrick find a pair of Tarevenders, whom they recognize as being present when Kevin and Charlie were killed, and parks their car out of their sight. As the two Tarevenders get back into their cargo truck, Nancy and Patrick run to the truck and jumps inside the back of the truck’s cargo trailer without being seen. As the truck is driving off, Grommet sees Nancy and Patrick in the back and runs after them. But the truck drives off too fast for him. He whimpers, uncertain what to do. Grommet runs off to somewhere unknown off screen. Will he return home eventually?

Sometime later, Nancy and Patrick realize that they’re almost to the Tarevender Headquarters. Patrick suggests that they jump off and sneak in. Nancy agrees and asks Patrick to jump first. Patrick obeys and jumps out of the truck. After getting up, he turns in hopes that Nancy would follow. However, Nancy smiles and waves at him, not willing to get off as she plans to go all the way. Patrick is horrified, knowing that she’s risking her life by getting caught. The cargo truck makes it back to the Tarevender Headquarters. Nancy finds a rifle and grabs it. As one of the Tarevenders is getting stuff out of the back, he notices Nancy. Before he can alert the others, Nancy opens fire on him, killing him. Nancy pops out to the back and points the rifle at the other Tarevenders on sight. Nancy says that all she wants is her brother and Negan.

Negan appears, whistling, and carrying Axel. Negan comments on how adorable Nancy is. Then he asks her if she chose that gun because it looked the coolest. Negan claims that Nancy scares the shit outta him, while pulling one of his own men in front of him as a shield. With Nancy distracted, a Tarevender attempts to attack her. But she shoots him, killing him. With her distracted from shooting the Tarevender, Joseph comes out of nowhere and tackles her, pushing the gun away from her. Joseph attempts to kill Nancy. But Negan tells him to back off. Negan helps Nancy up. Impressed by her lack of fear and not wanting to kill her right away, Negan offers to show Nancy around.

Negan takes Nancy inside his compound. From a catwalk, Negan addresses the crowd kneeling on the factory floor. He announces that Tarevender secured a big load of goods and everyone will get fresh vegetables at dinner, regardless of how many points they have. Everyone cheers. He whispers to Nancy, "You see that? Respect." Afterwards, Negan takes Nancy to his private quarters. Frightened by the fact that he brought her to his bedroom, Nancy asks Negan if he expects her to sleep with him. Negan laughs and admits that as hot as Nancy is, he doesn’t want ruin her like that, saying that she’s too badass to be deflowered like that. As Nancy takes a seat, Daisy approaches her, giving her the same cute stare that she gave Tyler. Nancy smiles over her. Negan tells Nancy that is Daisy, his puppy. Nancy says that he doesn't deserve a cute and innocent puppy like her. Negan says that she maybe right. But he has her anyways.

Fat Joey stops by Negan's apartment to give him Axel, which Negan left by the cargo truck. After laughing along with Negan's jokes on how he treated Axel, he dismisses Joey harshly. Negan asks Nancy to sing him a song, saying that Axel likes to be sung to more than killing people. Nervous, Nancy struggles to sing, "Skyfall" by Adele. Negan is impressed by her beautiful voice, that he considers making Nancy one of his wives to properly deflower her. But he has another problem to deal with. He says that he knows what he wants Nancy to do as a punishment for killing his men at the truck.

Negan gives Nancy Axel and tells her to chop off a finger. Nancy refuses and threatens to use Axel on him. Negan tells her that if she doesn’t obey and tries something stupid, his men will kill both her and Tyler, then everyone back home should she kill him. Fearing for their lives, Nancy takes a deep breath and bravely slams Axel onto her left pinky finger. Nancy gasps in agonizing pain. Negan smiles, impressed by her bravery and lack of screaming over the pain. He tells Nancy that he is fifty-percent more into her now. He takes her severed pinky and licks, saying that Nancy’s blood taste sweet, hinting at her pureness. Negan tells her that he’ll take her to his doctor.

## Chapter 10

Patrick is hiding behind the gates of Tarevender. He sees Nancy, now wearing a bandage on her finger, being forced into a truck with Negan. Suddenly, a hand grabs Patrick from behind. Patrick turns around to find MIB, who asks him what he’s doing here. Patrick stays silent, uncertain if MIB is a Tarevender or another threat. MIB tells him that if he’s trying to save Nancy, that he should just go back home, adding that Negan is taking her back to Clearwood. Patrick says that he has to save someone else as well. MIB says that he doesn’t. MIB turns behind him, which Patrick looks at -- TYLER. MIB reveals that he already freed Tyler from his cell. Tyler and Patrick asks MIB why he’s helping them. MIB tells them that he’s planning on an assault on Tarevender for what they’ve done to him. MIB asks them if Clearwood would be willing to help. Tyler is hesitant. But Patrick says that he’s in.

Back at Clearwood, Bella and Noah are holding hands while sitting at the porch of Bella’s house. Spencer is walking by and sees this. She smiles, approving of their relationship, despite their age differences. Meanwhile, Scott and Chris are out of the community, looking for supplies for Tarevender all over town. Chris asks Scott if he thinks that bowing down to Negan is the best thing to do. Scott says if it means keeping their family safe. Chris agrees but also asks if he thinks that perhaps in the end, Negan will kill them anyways. Scott tells Chris that he fears that everyday since they were forced to become Tarevenders. Chris asks Scott how would he rather die; Die a weakling who bows down to evil or die trying to end Tarevender? Scott actually stops for a moment to think about this. Chris reminds him that Nancy would be willing to die to stop Tarevender, as she’s clearly one of the few who refuses to bow down to Tarevender.

Back at Clearwood, Negan and some Tarevenders arrive with Nancy. This shocks everyone, who had no idea that Nancy went after them. Spencer, Iris, Ali, Bella, Noah, and Mandy appear, horrified at what they’re finding. Negan tells the ladies that their brave little girl tried to kill him. They notice her severed finger. But Nancy is very brave about it, saying that it’s nothing. Jeremiah and Judith (Little Miss) come out of a house. Recognizing “Daddy Negan”, Judith smiles upon seeing him, still unaware of his evilness. Spencer tells Noah to take Jeremiah and Judith in the house, which Noah does. Negan asks for Iris and Ali to show them where the weapons are. Iris and Ali escorts Negan and Joseph to their weaponry cabin.

As Negan and Joseph follows the mother and daughter, Camille sees them from her house window. She looks at herself and decides to make herself look good for Negan. She has plans for herself. Walking into the weaponry cabin in order; Iris, Negan, Ali, and Joseph. Upon shutting the door, Negan orders Joseph to hold Ali. Joseph snatches Ali and Negan approaches Iris. Negan says that he’s noticed how young looking and hot the mother is, saying that he’s had a thing for Ali since she was a little girl. But now he’s interested in what the mother has. Realizing what he’s saying, Iris tells Negan that he could do whatever he wants to her (Iris) as long as he doesn’t hurt or touch Ali. Negan smiles and says, “Deal.” And with that, Negan forces Iris on the table, stripping her. Ali cries and Iris tells her to close her eyes. As Ali attempts to close her eyes, Joseph forces her eyes to remain open, telling her that it’s fun to watch. Ali cries as she watches her mother being raped by Negan.

After finishing up with Iris, Negan releases her. Joseph holds Iris, who is too broken to move. Negan says that it’s Ali’s turn. But both Iris and Ali points out that Negan promised them that they wouldn’t do anything to Ali. Negan says that promises are meant to be broken. Negan forces Ali on the table, pulling down her pants, and forces himself on Ali, who cries for her mom to save her. But Iris is too shocked and broken to move. Joseph tells Iris that Negan gets all the fun, but that soon Joseph may get his own fun. Iris cries, thinking that Joseph will also rape her and Ali.

Later, Negan and Joseph walk out of the weaponry cabin to find Camille, dressed in a cute mini-skirt, with a bottle of whiskey. Camille says that she’d like to talk to Negan about her future, more specifically with him. Negan says, “A third hottie? The babes really want my penis today.” Camille smiles and says, “If that will please you, sir.” Negan smiles and says, “Let’s talk.”

## Chapter 11

Alexis and Timmy walk into the Weaponry cabin and finds both Iris and Ali broken and devastated. Alexis asks them what happened to. Ali could only say, “Negan. He...He…” And that is all that Alexis needs to know to understand what happened. Alexis pulls out a bullet that Timmy made for her from her pocket and moves over to a shelve of handguns. Timmy asks her what she’s doing. Alexis says that she’s going to kill him. Timmy says that is a bad idea. Alexis says that she doesn’t care. As long as she gets him, she doesn’t care if she’s killed in the process.

On Camille’s porch, Negan and Camille are drinking whiskey and flirting with each other. Negan comments on how wonderful Clearwood is; the air, water, food, and the people. Camille tells him that he’s welcomed here anytime, adding that she enjoys his company. For the first time, it does appear that Negan is actually having a good time with someone who is part of Clearwood and someone who is part of Clearwood is having a good time with him. Negan says, “To us”, which Camille replies, “To us. A bright future together.” They clank each other’s glasses and drink.

Negan asks Camille what all she wants with him. Camille says that she wants to learn to be a great Tarevender under his wing and maybe a future with him than just being a student of his. Negan reminds her that her father was not the best Tarevender. Camille says that she understands that but that she’s not her father. She adds that while her father taught her things, that his own failures taught her even more. Camille says that if Negan gives her the chance, that she’ll be an even better Tarevender than her father ever was. Camille says that she’ll do whatever it takes. Negan turns to her and smiles. She smiles back. As Alexis is marching for Camille’s house, Timmy continues trying to talk her out of her attempts to kill Negan. Iris and Ali, both wounded emotionally, are right behind them. Not speaking nor feeling anything but their pain. Alexis tells Timmy to let her be because he’s not going to talk her out of it.

Meanwhile, in Camille’s bedroom, Negan and Camille are getting it on - Hot and heavy- Both moaning. As Negan and Camille orgasms, Negan pulls out his “Carrie” knife, which he named after his late daughter, and places it at Camille’s neck. Negan tells Camille that he saw her bullshit coming from a mile. He says that he knows that Camille is just using him to get up to high places. Camille tries to lie her way out of it, saying that she loves him and wants to make him proud. But Negan isn’t having it, calling her a lying whore. Negan stabs Camille in the stomach and guts her. Camille screams. Her organs and blood spill out. Camile Carver, daughter of the late Joe Carver, a former Clearwood, and a willing-forced Tarevender, is dead.

Alexis, Timmy, Iris, and Ali hears her screaming and runs to her house. Upon making it to her house, Negan comes out, wearing his clothes, and all bloodied up. He grabs Axle and laughs, saying that he certainly ripped her up. Spencer, Bella, and Noah step out of their house to see what has happened. As Negan sadistically laughs, Alexis snaps. She pulls out the handgun and shoots. From the main entrance, Scott and Chris, who has just returned home, hears the gunshot and runs to the location of the gunshot.

Negan stares at Axel, which is revealed to have caught the bullet. Negan starts yelling and cursing at Alexis for trying to kill him. Joseph tackles Alexis and places a knife to her neck. Negan says that Axel‘s beautiful smooth surface will never be the same and asks why should hers. Alexis says that Axel was in the way of her killing him. Negan asks Joseph to cut her face, which he does. But Alexis continues to show defiance. Negan asks her who made the bullet, as he can tell that it was homemade. Alexis claims that it was her. But Negan doesn’t believe her and asks her again. But she continues to say that it was her. Negan calls her a badass. But he decides to punish someone for her crime anyways. Negan tells Joseph to kill somebody.

Joseph tells Iris that he told her that he’d have some fun. Joseph pulls out his gun, turns around, and points his gun at both Spencer and Bella. He pulls the trigger and the bullet flies towards them. They both just stand there together, frozen, and horrified. Suddenly -- SOMEBODY PUSHES THEM ASIDE. And the bullet hits the pusher. Spencer and Bella scream and cry when they realize who was shot, saving them -- NOAH. Negan shouts, “DAMN!” with amusement over this. Joseph is mixed with feelings. He wanted to kill an adult and not a child. But Negan gives him points for shooting a child, which makes him feel better.

Spencer and Bella go to Noah, holding him in their arms. Noah is brave despite being fatally shot. Noah tells his mother and girlfriend that he loves them. Bella holds his hand as he dies. Noah Drake, son of Spencer and the late Charles Drake, boyfriend of Bella, and the SECOND CHILD to die in a Donald Newton story, is dead. Spencer and Bella cry over Noah. They turn to Negan, who is smiling with amusement.

Scott and Chris arrive to find the tragedy. They’re horrified. Scott angrily turns to Negan, reminding them that they had a deal. Negan tells him how Nancy snuck into Tarevender, tried to kill him, but ended up killing a few of his men instead. Scott turns to Nancy with both anger and pride. He’s mad that she made such a risk but proud that she was brave enough to do it. Negan tells Scott that instead of killing Nancy, that he brought her home, and was able to rid Scott of a gold digger whore (Camille) and a snot nose kid (Noah). He tells Scott that he should thank him for it. But instead, Scott tells Negan that he should leave. Negan smiles and says, “Sure thing, Scott. Right after I find out who made this bullet.”

Negan turns to Alexis and asks her where she got the bullet. But she refuses to say anymore. Negan tells his men to point guns at everyone, hoping someone will step up. The Tarevenders point their guns at everyone. But Timmy steps up and says, “She got it from me. I made the bullet.” Everyone tries to tell Timmy to shut up. But Negan approaches him and asks him how. Timmy tells him how he made it, which impresses Negan, who realizes that Timmy is a genius nerd. Negan tells Scott that he’s taking the genius. He orders his men to move out. As Tarevender leaves, they take Timmy with them. Alexis begins to cry, demanding and begging that they take her instead. Everyone proceeds to cry over their losses.

## Chapter 12

Jeremiah and Judith search for Grommet but cannot find him. They inform Scott, Mandy, and others that they can’t find Grommet. Everyone calls out for Grommet. But Grommet doesn’t show up. Everyone looks around the community. But no Grommet. Scott realizes that the gate has been opened. Then it hits everyone -- especially Mandy, who got Grommet for Kevin and the Community -- GROMMET RAN AWAY. The children and Mandy start to cry. Grommet was more than just a guard dog or Kevin’s dog, he was their friend, pet, and family.

The Clearwood Community; Scott, Iris, Ali, Spencer, Bella, Alexis, Mandy, Jeremiah, Bella, Milos, Lana, and Kirk are together, holding a funeral for Camille, Noah, and Grommet, whom they think may be dead. Spencer and Bella hold hands, both devastated by Noah’s death. Bella was always too focus on fighting Tarevender since she was a child to ever think about boys. Trig (first child to be killed) was her first crush but she never expressed anything over it. Now Noah, her second crush but her first kiss and first boyfriend, is now dead. The kids mourn both Noah and Grommet. Alexis mourns Camille, but is also scared for Timmy.

They hear footsteps from the corner. MIB, Patrick, and Tyler appear. Nancy, Scott, and Ali run to them. The three hug Tyler, getting emotional. After hugging Tyler, Nancy turns to Patrick, hugging and kissing him. Ali cries and tells Tyler that she thought that she’d never see him again. Tyler tells her that she’s the one who kept him sane and alive. Ali smiles, touched by this comment, and kisses her boyfriend. Tyler and Patrick asks Nancy what happened to her finger. Nancy tells them that Negan forced her to chop it off. Tyler looks at Ali and Iris, and knows something happened to them. Tyler asks them what he (Negan) did to them. Ali and Iris give him a look, unable to tell him. But Tyler knows what happened by the look in their eyes. He becomes angry.

Tyler and Patrick introduces MIB to Scott. MIB tells Scott that he use to be a forced Tarevender like them. But he ran away after Negan killed his girlfriend and best friend. Scott asks MIB what his intentions are. MIB tells him that he plans to declare war on Tarevender. Tyler says after what Negan did to his sister and girlfriend, Tyler demands war against Negan. Nancy says that she wants war. Ali says she’s ready to stop being a frighten teenage girl and is willing to face Tarevender in war. Spencer says she wants to kill Negan for allowing her son to be murdered. Remembering Chris’s comments to him earlier, Scott finally comes to the light. Scott says, “Guys, we’re not gonna be weak anymore. I was wrong to make us bow down to them like weak people. Well, no more. No more dying like victims. No more bowing down to them. No more standing by and letting shit happen. We’re going to war.” And with that, our beloved badass Clearwood Club is BACK. No longer weak and broken. Now they’re gonna fight.

Back at Tarevender Headquarters, Negan is shown that Fat Joey was killed. But they learn through security surveillance that Tyler’s escape and Fat Joey’s murder was done by MIB. Negan watches the video. When MIB approaches their cameras, he pulls his hood off -- revealing himself to be Michael Ian Barnes. Negan finally recognizes him. Negan realizes that MIB was trying to get close to him and Clearwood as a way to start a war with him. Negan becomes pissed and tells his men that if they find MIB to kill him.

Later at Mandy’s house, where she is sulking over Kevin’s death and Grommet’s disappearance. Mandy looks at a photo of her, Kevin and Grommet together. She wonders why they all couldn’t just get a happy ending. Just then, she gets a knock on the door, and opens it to find Bella, Ali and Alexis. Mandy lets them in. Alexis admits to Mandy how guilt ridden she’s been since trying to shoot Negan, resulting in getting Timmy kidnapped and Noah killed. Mandy says that she knows why they are here, and she’ll help.

Bella says that Mandy is as smart to hell to figure them out already. Mandy reminds them that she was in three killing sprees before she joined Surfack. Ali says that is a good point. Mandy asks how they are going to get Timmy out of Tarvender HQ. Bella says that they are going to have to play it sneaky, and decides that they should try and sneak into the back gate. Alexis explains that their secondary objective is to find and kill Joseph and Negan.

She says that Negan may have dominated the boys (Scott and Tyler), but the girls will never give in. And even though, they’ve already declared war on them, Mandy cannot wait any longer. Mandy shows them a trunk. Inside is a few hidden rifles that she never gave to Negan. Mandy reveals that she was planning to assassinate Negan the next time he came back. But since there is a team gathering up now, they might as well use them now. The ladies take one rifle each and agree to set out at night, when the Tarvenders should be sleeping.

## Chapter 13

That night at the Tarevender Headquarters, Timmy is being taken out to the back gate by two Tarvenders, Tony and Blake. Timmy is here to investigate structural weaknesses on the fence, which Tony and Blake told him about. When they arrive, there is nothing wrong with the fence. Tony and Blake then reveal that this was just a ruse to get them alone. They walk up to Timmy and start standing over him. Timmy tells Tony and Blake to behave. Tony says that they don’t answer to little kids like Timmy. Blake throws Timmy against the fence.

Tony says that Negan was stupid to hire a teenager, a Surfack nevertheless, to work for him. They know that Timmy was lying to Negan and he has no intention of remaining loyal to him. Now, they are gonna remedy that, meaning they intend to kill Timmy. Timmy asks what they are waiting for then. Blake says that they’re going to take their time, and make it slow, as it’s not every day that they get to kill a Surfack survivor. Then, Blake and Tony start kicking and punching Timmy on the ground.

As they beat him, Blake is suddenly shot in the head. Before Tony can react, he is shot as well. Blake and Tony are dead. The shooter is Alexis, who tells Tony and Blake to “Pick on someone your own size, assholes.” Timmy is surprised and relieved to see Alexis, Bella, Ali and Mandy. Timmy goes out the back gate and hugs Alexis, who tells Timmy that she is so sorry that she didn’t listen to his objections, and she shot at Negan anyway. Timmy accepts her apology. Meanwhile, back inside the Tarvender HQ, Negan and Joseph hear the gunshots and rush to the security room.

They discover what is happening from the cameras, and Negan sees Mandy is really alive and well. Fuming, Negan yells “That widow is alive, stealing my little genius!” He orders Joseph to sound the alarm and get some Tarvenders down there to stop them from escaping. The group outside hears the alarm going off, and realize that they have no time of completing their secondary objective together.

Bella says that all of Tarvender is about to jump on them, and they’ll see them running away if they try to flee. Alexis, Timmy and Ali realize that this is bad and turn to Mandy for suggestions. However, Mandy is already on the other side of the gate, and she locks the rest out. Bella asks Mandy what she is doing. Mandy explains that someone needs to fend off the Tarvenders while everyone else escapes, this being her. Ali and Alexis are horrified, and beg Mandy to reconsider this.

Mandy yells at everyone to flee with Timmy, and that they must help Surfack get ready for war. She says that she’ll try to kill Joseph and Negan before she gets gunned down. A Tarvender goes outside to investigate, but is gunned down by Mandy, who rushes through the exit he came through and goes inside the HQ. Everyone is in tears, including Timmy, who didn’t even know Mandy that much. Bella, Timmy, Alexis and Ali are forced to escape without Mandy. Inside, Mandy cocks her rifle and mutters “Come and get me, bastards”

She looks around, trying to find Joseph and Negan. Noticing a Tarvender approaching from a corner, Mandy gets an idea and picks up a pencil from a nearby table. When the Tarvender walks past the corner, Mandy stabs him in the throat with the pencil and kills him. Mandy says that Kevin taught her a few things. Before Mandy can do anything else, she is ambushed by Joseph, who tackles her from the side, causing her to drop her gun. Joseph kicks it away and points his own gun at her.

Mandy tells Joseph that she and Melissa trusted him, and he betrayed Surfack. Joseph reminds Mandy that he was never loyal to Surfack in the first place, and was always a spy. Joseph also admits that he never loved Melissa, not even briefly. He says that the best thing he’s ever done was torturing Tyler with the music and beating him. Mandy says that all Joseph does is torment and murder people that can’t fight back, such as Noah. He says that he also takes care of the people that can fight back, like Tyler and Kevin. Mandy asks what she means by Kevin, since Negan killed him.

Joseph reveals that he gave Negan the idea to kill Kevin, as he was one of the toughest of the Surfack members, and killing him would demoralize them. An angry Mandy tells Joseph if he had any kind of guts, he would put that gun down and fight like a man. Joseph admits that it’s been a very long time since he’s been involved in a personal fight. He thinks about her proposal, and decides to take it. Joseph puts his gun down. He tells Mandy that she’s going to die, just like Kevin did. Mandy says that they’ll see about that. She charges and tackles Joseph.

Mandy and Joseph throw punches, kicks, scratches, throw each other against walls, you name any kind of tactic. During this fight, Negan and a squad of Tarvenders stumble upon the scene. An amused Negan tells the squad to stand down. One of them, Dave, asks why. Negan says that it’s been a very long time since he’s seen Joseph in action, and besides, he wants to see what the widow can do as well. The squad stand down and watch. Negan tells Dave to get some popcorn for him. In the battle, Joseph and Mandy appear evenly matched. Both of them are tough and strong adults with a big amount of training.

Mandy starts digging her fingernails into Joseph’s face. Joseph elbows Mandy in the face. He throws her against a wall and starts repeatedly punching her. Mandy forces Joseph off of her by kneeing him in the groin. Joseph says that Kevin really did teach her a few tricks after all. Mandy confirms this. Joseph retorts that Negan also taught him a few things. He leg sweeps Mandy, who does the same back. They struggle on the ground. Meanwhile, Dave returns with the popcorn, which Negan starts eating.

He says that this may be the best real life brawl he’s ever seen, and cheers Joseph on. Joseph drops his knee onto Mandy’s groin. She screams out. Negan says that he never thought Joseph was actually going to get the chance to use that trick, and looks on in amusement. Mandy headbutts Joseph off of her. They get up. Mandy does a spin kick across Joseph’s face. She keeps it up and spin kicks Joseph again. He tumbles to the floor again. Mandy gets on top of him and delivers several punches to the face. Mandy and Joseph are very bruised and torn up at this point, but Joseph has more wounds.

Mandy starts getting the upper hand. She bashes Joseph’s head against the floor, and starts strangling him. Before she can continue any longer, Negan knocks Mandy out by hitting her in the back of the head with the blunt end of Axel. Negan helps Joseph up and has two Tarvenders drag Mandy away to the cell Tyler was in. Joseph says that Mandy is one tough bitch, and asks why Negan really let her fight. Negan admits that he was disappointed that Tyler didn’t become a Tarvender, but sees new potential in Mandy. When Joseph points out the highly unlikely chance of that working, Negan reveals he has “plenty of other use” for her. He smiles at the thought.

## Chapter 14

In Clearwood the next morning, Alexis, Bella and Ali have returned with Timmy. They are telling Scott and Tyler about what happened. After getting Timmy to a medical tent, Scott and Tyler talk about Mandy’s capture. Tyler says that they can’t wait any longer and that if they are going to declare war, they need to do it soon if they are going to save Mandy. Scott realizes Tyler is right, and agrees that they need to act fast, but points out that they are outnumbered. MIB comes in and says that he has an idea. Scott says that he’ll take anything at this point.

At Tarvender HQ, Negan is checking on Joseph in a medical tent. A doctor explains that Joseph still has some cuts and bruises, but he’ll be alright. Negan says that if the doctor let his right hand man die, he would have to throw him into a furnace. The doctor shudders at the thought. Meanwhile, Mandy is in her cell, Tyler’s old cell to be exact. Just then, Dave comes in. He tells Mandy that she is both a hot and badass chick, as it’s not everyday someone gets to beat up Joseph. Dave also admits that Mandy seems like a “good toy” for him to use as well.

Mandy tells Dave to get away from her. Dave ignores this and rips her shirt. It’s clear that Dave intends to rape Mandy, unaware that he left the door open behind him. Mandy head-butts Dave as he advances toward her. Dave says that Mandy is making this way worse than it needs to be, and unbuckles his pants. However, the door fully opens, and Negan is there. Negan asks Dave what he thinks he’s doing. Dave says that he’s about to have some fun with Mandy, and asks if there is something wrong with that. Negan says that there is. Dave reminds Negan that there are no rules against rape, and he’s raped a kid, and her mother. Negan admits that Dave has a point, but asserts that not everyone can be raped, asking for an apology.

When Dave declines and tries to go back to raping Mandy, Negan stabs him in the side of the neck with his knife, which goes out the other end. Negan tells Dave “Worst. Apology. Ever” before he collapses. Dave is dead. Negan then looks down at Mandy, who asks Negan why he just saved her. Negan expresses his disappointment that Tyler and Timmy escaped and did not end up being Tarvenders. He also admits at how impressed he is that Mandy was able to overpower Joseph and kill one of his men with a simple pencil. Negan tells Mandy that she could do wonders in Tarvender if she joined. Mandy responds “Let’s see, you bashed my husband’s brains in and killed several of my friends. Let me think about it. I’ll get back to you in about…50,000 years” Negan laughs, but tells Mandy she’s made a fatal mistake, and one way or another, all of her friends will die. He leaves her in the cell.

In MIB’s car, Chris and Nicole are driving with him. Chris asks MIB what the plan is. MIB explains to him and Nicole that he not the only Tarvender that defected, and he’s actually one in a large group. That group has been hiding out at a location known to him, and he hopes to enlist their help to fight Negan. Nicole and Chris agree that they need more people, but ask if they are trustworthy. MIB assures them that they are. Eventually, the trio arrive at the hideout, and have guns drawn on them. MIB signals that it’s him, and the group put their guns down.

They welcome MIB back and ask who is with them. MIB introduces them as Nicole and Chirs, members of Surfack. The group welcomes them here and asks why them why have come. Nicole explains to them about how Surfack has been enslaved and under Negan’s heel. She tells them about the murders of Charlie, Kevin, Camille and Noah. The group is more sympathetic when they hear of a child’s murder. Nicole asks for their help in taking down Tarvender, a common enemy. After some consideration, they decide to pledge themselves to Surfack and support them. Nicole thanks everyone and tells them to pack up for Clearwood.

## Chapter 15

At nighttime, Negan, Joseph and several Tarvender trucks depart the HQ. We already know where they are headed. When they arrive at Clearwood, Scott orders everyone to get into position. He tells them that they need to hold off Tarvender for as long as they can, until Chris, MIB and Nicole get back. Bella goes on a bell tower to fight with a sniper rifle. As they prepare to open fire, Joseph speaks on a bullhorn. He tells Scott that he may not wanna open fire, unless he wants to doom one of his most senior members. Realizing that this means Mandy, Scott demands to know where she is. Joseph has two Tarvenders bring out Mandy, who is shackled. Negan comes out and tells Scott that he’s got a big decision to make, and he will not take no for an answer.

NEGAN: Now, I brought her so I wouldn't have to kill all of you, and not killing all of you could get complicated. See, I’m gonna make this simple, Scotty. I want all the firearms you’ve got, all the lemonade you’ve got, and a person of YOUR OWN CHOOSING for Axel. Oh, and my good old Tyler! I can’t go without my little Tyler back! Give me all of that back, and I’ll let Mandy go. To be honest, I don’t wanna kill her, she’s too awesome for that. So, your choice Scotty. What will it be?

Mandy and Scott lock eyes. She shakes her head at Scott, refusing to let Surfack become Negan’s slave again. Scott gives a nod back and tells Negan that they will never give in to him again. Negan frowns and tells Scott that he is “One stupid prick” before giving Joseph a nod. He walks up to Mandy, who doesn’t even flinch at her fate, and shoots her in the head. Mandy Forest-Andrews, the last survivor of Noah’s first Scream trilogy, senior member of Surfack and wife of the late Kevin Anderson, is dead. As she is shot, we notice a pair of eyes in the woods, watching this murder out of sight. We can’t tell who it is. Surfack looks at Tarvender, anger in their eyes. IT’S WAR!

Everyone in Surfack starts shooting at the Tarvenders. Joseph boards Negan’s van and rams it through the gate, allowing Tarvender to enter the neighborhood. Bella starts shooting several Tarvenders that come through the gate, but one notices her on the bell tower. The Tarvender goes inside and ambushes Bella, knocking the gun off the balcony. Bella recognizes that this isn’t just any Tarvender, but Noahop, the leader of the five Tarvender kids back in Episode 5 that drugged her and the others, now a teenager.

Noahop recognizes her too and tells Bella that a little kid like her shouldn’t be playing with rifles. Bella decides to play with her feet instead. She lifts her foot up and does a kick right onto Noahop’s face, and proceeds to fight him. It’s the very first time we see Bella in action in the Honor Saga, and she is a badass. Bella punches, kicks and scratches Noahop, who does the same back. Noahop manages to get the upper hand by repeatedly slamming Bella’s head against the floor, and her head is bloody. Noahop pushes her precariously towards the edge as they struggle.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Tarvender has ultimately gained control of the situation; some Surfacks have been killed (none of our main characters), and several are in custody. Scott, Tyler and Nancy are brought up to an angry Negan and Joseph. Just then, everyone notices a body plummeting to the ground from Bella’s balcony post. Tyler, Scott and Nancy are completely horrified, assuming that it is Bella’s. Also noticing this, Negan explains to Scott that he intends to kill Nancy in front of him and Tyler, as punishment for his disobedience. However, rather than break down, Scott stares Negan right in the eyes.

SCOTT: You can do it right in front of me. You can take my hands. I told you already. I'm going to kill you. All of you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but nothing is gonna change that, nothing. You're all already dead.

Negan is clearly pissed that Scott is not submitting to his will, but does not change his mind about executing Nancy. He stares at Scott for a few moments before smiling and telling him “Well Scotty, you said I could do it” As he raises Axel to murder Nancy, who has her eyes closed, he hears a loud barking. He turns to look and finds something that leaps on top of Joseph and bites him in the throat. IT’S GROMMET. Joseph screams out. Grommet proceeds to viciously maul Joseph, and we come to realize that he was the mysterious person who saw Mandy’s murder. Joseph Warren, Zombie Ghostface and Negan’s right hand man, is dead.

Before Negan or any other Tarevender can act, more gunfire comes from the woods. It’s Chris, Nicole, MIB and his group. MIB yells “Surfack will not fall! Not on this day!” and orders everyone to open fire, which they do, forcing Negan to take cover behind his van. The battle thus resumes. After Grommet is finished mauling Joseph, he is confronted by Bull, who is pissed off that his owner is dead. A DOG BATTLE ensues. Bull and Grommet take some bites and swipes at each other. Although Grommet is bigger, Bull proves himself to be faster and more agile. Eventually, Bull goes for the kill. But as he does so, Daisy, who has been away from the fighting, comes out of nowhere.

Daisy jumps between Bull and Grommet. It’s clear that she doesn’t want to be a Tarevender dog anymore, shaking her head at Bull. She attempts to fight him, but is quickly overwhelmed. Bull bites Daisy and throws her against the wall. This motivates Grommet to get back up and tackle Bull. Bull and Grommet continue to fight, biting and swiping again. Grommet manages to get a deep bite into Bull’s throat, and another in the head. Bull, Joseph’s evil dog, is dead. Grommet give out a victory howl. He goes over to the injured Daisy, amidst the gunfire. Jeremiah and Judith come out to see the fighting. They're horrified. Judith witnesses Daddy Negan shooting at her own family. She feels betrayed by this. The two kids sees the injured dogs. They bravely run through the fighting. Jeremiah takes Grommet and Judith takes Daisy, and they run back to safety.

Meanwhile, Negan notices that a huge amount of his Tarvenders are being gunned down and realizes that he is losing, but still opens fire. While looking at Joseph and Bull’s corpses, Negan mutters “Why did you and I EVER like dogs, Joseph?” Negan climbs into his van and attempts to escape, but this fails when Spencer shoots the tires. She screams at Negan to come out and find out what happens when someone messes with her family. Remembering Jyle’s fate, Negan mutters “Hell Hath no fury like a mother scorned!”

Negan starts shooting at Spencer, who shoots back. Eventually, Spencer is shot in the shoulder. Negan goes to finish her off, but gets a knife shoved into his back by Ali. Negan screams out, but throws Ali off. Negan tells her that stabbing people in the back is “cheating.” Ali says that raping people is beyond cheating. She goes to punch Negan, but is no match for the older adult. As he gets the upper hand, Tyler joins on the fight. Despite Negan being bigger and older, he finds himself outmatched by the ferocity and power of the duo.

They throw punches, kicks, elbows, you name it at Negan. He tries using his knife to stab them, but Tyler jumps on Negan and puts him into a headlock, causing him to drop the knife. Ali picks it up and screams that this is for her parents. She stabs the knife into Negan’s chest, though it’s unclear whether or not it hit his heart. Negan gasps and collapses, apparently dying. Ali and Tyler look over him. The rest of Surfack come up after clearing out the rest of the Tarevender. Scott says that it’s over. Just then,

NEGAN LEAPS TO HIS FEET SCREAMING. Surfack’s response is to shoot the fuck out of Negan, with dozens of bullets going into his body. Everyone, including Scott, Tyler, Nancy, Ali, Iris, Patrick, Chris, Nadine, and MIB are getting a piece of him. Finally, Negan collapses again, and this time he is NOT getting up. Negan Venedict, cousin of Jyle Venedict, father to Carrie Raine, and the 2nd leader of Tarevender, is dead. The battle is over, and Surfack is the winner.

Tyler and Nancy then go over to where they saw the body fall from Bella’s balcony post, and discover it is actually Noahop’s, who was thrown off the balcony by Bella. They then go up to the balcony post, where a badly beaten Bella is exhausted and resting. Bella tells them that it will take way more than some idiot like Noahop to kill her. Tyler and Nancy agree and gently embrace her, before bringing her down to the medical tent to get some help. Chris walks up to Scott and confirms that all of the Tarvenders have been neutralized, but reminds him that there are still more at the Tarevender HQ to worry about. MIB comes up and explains that he knows where it is. As he gives him the directions, we cut to black.

## Chapter 16

We open on the next morning, at the Tarvender HQ, where all the remaining Tarvenders are hanging out, waiting for Negan to come back. Several Tarvender trucks, the ones Negan used to reach Surfack, come over. Tarvender goes to greet the trucks, believing that Negan is coming back, only to discover that Surfack is actually using the trucks to surprise attack them. With the element of surprise, Surfack troops come jumping out of the trucks and open fire on the completely unprepared Tarvender forces.

After clearing out the front yard, Surfack goes inside and proceeds to gun down all Tarvenders that they come across. They do fire back, but there are no casualties among Surfack. Eventually, it appears that all of the Tarvenders are dead. After this, Scott throws a match on the floor and a fire ensues. Scott and the rest of Surfack leave the burning HQ, with Spencer being the last one out, and the slowest for some reason. As the HQ burns down, Scott tells everyone that Tarvender is finally gone, and with this done, Surfack has completed its mission and they can all finally live in peace. Or so they thought...

As everyone cheers, a figure is shown to be watching them in the woods. The figure is revealed to be the sole surviving Tarvender of Surfack’s attack, having barely escaped detection. The Tarvender is obviously furious that the HQ is burned down, and all of his comrades, including Negan, is dead. Glaring at Surfack, the Tarvender acknowledges that Surfack has fatally wounded Tarvender, and there is no way to rebuild the organization. However, the Tarvender vows to carry on the murderous legacy that started with Jyle for as long as he lives, and destroy Surfack piece by piece, and he’ll start with the most cherished people. He walks off.

After the battle, Surfack returns to town, where they prepare to celebrate. Spencer walks up to Scott and asks to speak with him alone. Scott agrees to do this. They sit on a log next to a nearby river. The setting is very beautiful, with the sunset ahead. Scott asks Spencer what she wants to talk about. Spencer responds by lifting up the side of her shirt, revealing a bullet wound. Spencer explains that she has been distraught about the death of her son, and ultimately, she cannot move on. Spencer reveals that she was shot during the battle at the HQ, but hid her injury from everyone else. With no medical treatment, Spencer has ensured that the gunshot wound is fatal, and that she is going to die.

She tells Scott she is sorry for doing this, but she wants to reunite with Charles and Noah. Scott accepts this and thanks Spencer for sticking around to help defeat Tarvender. Spencer admits that Surfack is like a family to her, and thanks Scott for letting her join 13 years ago, and asks that she be allowed to die in peace. Scott nods, and the two watch as the sun sets and the river in silence. After a few moments, Spencer collapses onto Scott’s lap and dies. Spencer Drake, mother of Noah Drake, wife of Charles Drake, last remaining Rosewood survivor, and senior member of Surfack, is dead.

As Scott mourns his friend, we cut to around nighttime. Ali is sound asleep in her bed, but Iris is not in her bed. In the kitchen, we see that Iris is in the kitchen, back turned toward us. The camera slowly zooms on Iris, who suddenly turns around and is shown to have a knife in her hand. She then shakes her head, as if snapping out of something. Iris notices the knife in her hand and becomes very confused. What is going on with Iris? Is it PTSD from her and Ali’s rape…or something else? Smash to black.
