83 Leaving The St. John Dairy (1/2)

”Danny!” Brenda shouted as she ran to her son's still warm corpse.

”You son of a bitch!” Andy shouted angrily as he rushed at me with a knife in his hand, hoping to stab me.

”Oh, no you don't!” I said as I shot him in the knee, resulting in him falling to the ground in pain, tears in his eyes.

”Danny! Get up!” Brenda cried, as she tried to revive her dead son, ”Please! Danny! Don't go! Please!”

Most of the group just looked at the scene in shock. With the exclusions of Orochimaru, Riza, Zabuza and surprisingly Lily.

”Let's go,” I said.

”What? We can't just leave these sick fucks alive Tom! They made my fucking son eat Mark!” Kenny shouted angrily as he ran up to the incapacitated Andy and kicked him in the gut, ”These fucks shouldn't deserve to live!”

”You son of a bitch!” Brenda shouted out as she pulled out a revolver and shot Kenny in the leg.

”Gah! You fucking cunt!” Kenny shouted as he fell to the ground in pain, holding onto his leg.

”Zabuza... disarm her” I said.

”Yes, sir!,” Zabuza said with a sadistic grin on his face that went unnoticed under his mask, as he walked up to Brenda and in a single motion, cut her left hand off completely.

”...” Brenda just looked at Zabuza in shock, before looking back at her now stump for a hand, ”Gyaaaaaaah!!!!”

Brenda then fell to the floor, clutching her stump of a hand and screaming in pain.

”Let's go already! Come on!” I shouted.

Everyone began to walk outside.

I walked in a different direction, towards the legless Mark.

”Hey, buddy... wake up” I said as I shook Mark slightly to wake him up.

”Huh?... Oh, hey Tom... I had the... weirdest dream... we met these... lovely people... but it turned out... they weren't so... lovely... they cut off... my legs and... fed them to... the others... I was so scared... but then, you... and Lee found me... you... saved... me... thank you... Tom...” Mark said with a weak smile on his face as he slowly departed from the living world.

”Mark... my friend... I am truly sorry... if only I'd known, I would have stopped this from every happening... see you in the next life my friend” I said sadly as I shot Mark's corpse in the head to make sure that he didn't come back. And walked outside the house.

”Everyone, grab as many food and tools as you can, just... don't get the meat, those are probably from humans... and hey, we're going to make this shit last us for however long we can,” I said with a small smile adorning my face.

Everyone went searching the entire dairy for food and tools to bring back to the motel.

I just sat down and watched as everyone looted the dairy. I didn't even notice Lily walking over and sitting next to me.

”Hey, how are you holding up?” Lily asked.

”I... I'm okay... it's just... Mark was my friend... and they... they... why did I have to be right? If only I was wrong... this would've gone a hell of a lot better... wouldn't it?” I muttered.

”...Can't say it would've been better if you were wrong... but, hey... you were right... which means... uh... sorry, I'm not really good at this sort of thing” Lily admitted.

”Yeah, me neither... I'm not the best at cheering others up either... heh... it's funny... I know how to lead groups of people with the maximum efficiency... but, I never learned the sacred art of cheering people up... probably a lost art by now, actually...” I said with a small smile.

”So, uh... do you just want to watch the sunset?” Lily asked, ”In silence? No awkward small talk...”

”Sure, that... that sounds nice” I said, my smile getting slightly bigger.

Lily and I just watched the sunset for about an hour until we were forced to, and I quote ”Stop being lovebirds for god's sake! There's a woman with a fucking hand missing and a guy with his knee shot out in the house right behind you!”... Kenny has such a way with words.
