Skylar watched as they hauled Tala to the car. "No!" She yelled, but felt her brother grab her arm. "We need to go!" Her brother started dragging Sky to behind a building. "No Gray!" Skylar yelled. "These people saved me, so I'm gonna save them," Skylar grunted while pulling away from her brother. She turned around, and pointed her gun at the man that was dragging Tala. Skylar was about to shoot, but then Tala started moving around, which was making the man that was holding her move around. Skylar lowered the gun, and she threw the gun down. "Dammit!" She whispered, and ran her hand through her hair. "Hey, assholes!" Skylar yelled so she would direct the the attention toward her. She tried to walk forward, but her brother grabbed her from behind.
Skylar started to flail around, but her brother had no problem keeping her in his arms. He plugged her nose and mouth, and Skylar's hands flew up to her brothers hand. Skylar's vision was going out, and she was beginning to look drowsy. Skylar fell out of her brothers arms, and blacked out.

Wyatt did as Marko asked and didn’t fire. But then as he peeked over the wall he saw how they were taking Tala.
“Marko we have to do something or they’ll take Tala.” Wyatt yelled in a worried tone as he took cover again. They were under heavy fire, but they had to come up with a solution soon. Wyatt once more peeked over the little wall, raised is gun and shot in the direction of the guy who was holding Tala, in the hope he would let her go. He made sure no bullet actually hit him or accidently hit Tala. Then he took cover again, since so many bullets where flying their way.
“Any idea on what to do?” Wyatt yelled at Marko. “I think if we do it right, we might be able to reach my car and get the hell out, but we have to take as much members of our group as we can, I don’t want to leave anyone behind but we got to move soon or we’ll all die." He added.
Gray felt bad, but he needed to do it because his sister was out of control, and she could've got herself, and Gray, killed. Gray put his sister over his shoulder, and sprinted to the nearest vehicle. Over the gunfire, they won't hear it start if it has gas.. He hurried to a dark blue truck, and the backdoor popped right open. First Gray checked if the car had it's keys in it, and it did so he tried to start the car. It stuttered, and then started. Thank God. He made a makeshift bed in the back seat, and he laid Sky in the back. He closed the door, and ran around to the other side of the truck. He set Skylar's and his bags down in the passenger's seat from the driver's seat, and he closed his door. He locked the doors, and he floored the gas pedal.
He got out of the parking lot behind the motel, and ran over a few walkers. He hit a mound of walkers on the side of the road. "Gray?"
Marko kept firing until his pistol clicked. It wasm't long before a new magazine was loaded into the gun, and the blanket of fire continued, all done out of muscle memory. Yet even so, he couldn't possibly keep it up that long. With another dreaded click, the slide snapped back once again. That was it, he was out.
"Damnit" Marko cursed and ducked low as a hail of assault rifle fire flew past his head. He saw Wyatt doing the same, and heard him yelling. What were they going to do about it? Two guys with empty pistols against dozens of armed combatants, outgunned and outnumbered, what could they really do?
The answer was easy, but somehow much harder to accept: nothing. Not now, anyway. They needed to get away from this chaos, regroup, and then think of a plan.
"Fuck" Marko recoiled as a small part of the wall above him exploded into a shower of concrete dust. "All right" He said, recomposing himself. Deep breaths. Stay calm. His eyes surveyed the situation, years of instincts behind it.
"Stay low, stick to the wall until you can't anymore. Then make a run for the truck." He yelled to Wyatt, pointing towards the vehicle in the distance, seemingly too far away "I'll be right behind you"
Castles ears were ringing and echo thought his head no sound other then the high pitch shriek of his ear drums. Castle climbed to his feet unsure of what happened or what was happening around him he looked towards his hands they were covered in blood. He was dazed and confused but the dead did not notice him as if to say he was one of them. Castle walked unable to hear and burly able to walk a large piece of shrapnel was lodged in his leg forcing a limp. There was nothing but silence even the moan of the dead could not be heard by Castle until a voice like no other called to him from beyond the trees Castle fallowed with out question till he came upon the motel seeing the fight from afar He pulled his blade and hoped over to one of the gun men putting the blade too their neck. "Who Are You And What The Fuck Are You Doing here?" he yelled but it only sounded muffled in his head. Castle watched her lips as she spoke but still no sound. How could he have heard that voice guide him but none of these?
Castle felt a hand on his back and saw the dead head come around him to try and eat the woman Castle moved the blade from her neck though it's head. Castle fell to his knees he was weak and hurt he needed help his eyes became heavy and then his head as he fell to the floor. In the darkness he saw a light but was unable to get near to it, it spoke to him and eased his mind his panic he felt calm and happy. Castle burly managed to open his eyes from a brief moment his hearing only slightly returning. "Tala?" his head and eyes became heavy again as his head fell back down. While Castle Was unconscious the militia had dragged him to the truck and thrown him in with tala.

Dakota slid Lee back over to Clementine, and fell straight to Mark's side. Young hazel eyes wide, she shook her head in denial, "Nononononono! Oh fuck no! You don't get to go anywhere but with us, Mark." She brought her hands together to add pressure over Mark's injured eye to help him keep the blood in.
Tearful determination and anger filled her eyes and creased her brow and cheeks. If will alone was enough to change fate, her hands would mold Mark's eye back. The warm blood under her hands proved otherwise. The continued gunfire and watching the blood brought back a touch of fear, and she called out toward the open RV door, "Paapaaa Beeaaar!"
Clementine looked on in shock, her own tears temporarily forgotten. She stared down at Mark, a fallen giant. Lee's crying filling the inside with the same noisy chaos punctuated by gunfire outside. She looked up to Kiku and Lilly, "Are they going to get all of us??"
"Skylar! SKYLAR!" Lilly called out and fired her pistol keeping a group of soldiers at bay. She couldn't see her or her brother. Lilly watched Ash come around the corner and next to the door. She emptied the rest of her clip before running back to the door.
"I'll drive we've got wounded." "Keys are in the ignition." Lilly climbed into the RV seeing the wounded Mark. "Holy shit keep that pressure on it!" She dived to the cabinet under the sink and pulled out the emergeny kit. Finding gause she quickly rushed back to the biker.
Ash fired at the soldiers as the wounded Biker stumbled past him. His revolver clicked empty and he rushed back to the door to the RV. "I'll drive we got wounded." "Keys are in the ignition." Ash quickly ran to the front and started up the RV.
Shadow barked and followed his master to the front taking his seat in the passenger seat. "BRACE YOURSELVES!" Jamming the pedal down Ash accelerated the RV. Scrapping the back of the truck Ash cursed and kept going. Barely making the tight squeeze the RV moved past the soldiers trucks and down the road. Keeping his foot on the accelerator he ran over a walker making his way towards the fighting. "I'm sorry." He silently said to the people they left behind as RV roared down the streets leaving the Motel behind.
Kiku watched people load onto the RV, she stood in the back out of the way so that there would be room for those who managed to get in the RV before it took off. Mark was brought on board with his bleeding eye, Lilly and Dakota seemed to have it covered. She put herself closer to them in case they needed a 3rd helper. She saw Ash fly into the driver seat, this was soon followed by the sudden shift of the car moving forward. She fell, hard. When they kept flying, trying to escape, she groped around for something to hold onto. She had to crawl but she managed to reach the door frame to the bathroom.
Minutes passed. Tala was loaded into a truck, Castle was loaded next to her. The men and women that had shown up were shocked by survivors , they came to clear out the dead. It was Ash's flare that had alerted them to the horde.
Frank and Mike barked orders. The RV sped off , out of the parking lot. Frank gave a sigh of relief. " scatter out!! Look for other living, bring them back here! Finish off the dead! Move people!" The gun fire slowed to scattered pops as the group fanned out to follow orders.
Tala groaned, she couldn't focus, but could hear the gun fire andem shouting. What was going on? She tried to sit up and the world swam. Her head pounded. She got her arm to move and felt the back of her head. Pulling her hand back to look at it, she saw a bit of blood on her palm. Had someone hit her? She was confused , even more when she saw Cas next to her. She reached out slowly and laid her hand on his chest. It rose and fell. He was still breathing, and she tried to shake him a bit to wake him up.

Wyatt nodded as Marko told him to make a run for the truck. First he placed is empty gun back in the holster and wit his other hand he still supported his hurt shoulder. He tried his best to stay low, until the wall stopped, from there he rushed full speed to the truck. To his surprise they seemed busy with other things since he didn’t saw bullets flying past, they were not aiming at him for now. While Wyatt ran he could see Castle was throw inside a truck with Tala. “Dammit!” he said to himself. Castle was the one that kept them busy, but Wyatt had to get him and Tala out of there.
Wyatt finally reached the truck and in one piece. He waited for Marko to discuss what the next step would be. He could hear the was sounded like the commander or chief say to look for others, so they had to come up with a plan soon or they would be caught as well.
Last Edit: Apr 11, 2015 18:01:10 GMT -5 by Wyatt Thorne
Marko fell in behind Wyatt, running as fast as his feet could carry him. The gunfire had stopped now, yet the shouting continued. They intended on capturing them alive, and bringing them back to do god knows what. Marko did not plan on letting them get what they want, at least not without a fight. Behind them Tala and Castle were being dragged into the vehicles, Marko cursed, but kept running.
Wyatt had reached the truck before Marko, but unfortunately, one of their soldiers had done the same. At first he had his sights on Wyatt, but his attention quickly shifted once he saw Marko barreling towards the truck. Marko couldn't see the man's face, "Yo, hey, stop!" He shouted and aimed his rifle at Marko, his voice muffled by the cloth mask which he wore. Yet he didn't shoot, and Marko knew he wasn't going to.
So instead of stopping, Marko braced for impact before slamming his shoulders into the man, putting his entire weight and the built up momentum of his run behind it. They both smashed into the truck, the man's head hitting the vehicle which knocked him out instantly. Marko's shoulder ached, but he didn't have time to whine about it.
Quickly grabbing the dropped rifle, Marko hopped onto the back of the truck. He realized that if he wanted to help Tala and Castle, he needed to know where they were going to be kept first. With that in mind, and seeing Wyatt's injured shoulder, he dragged the unconscious soldier into the vehicle. Interrogation, classic.
Yelling to the other man: "Drive, Wyatt! Get us the hell out of here!" with his free hand Marko laid down cover fire, stabilizing the barrel of the gun on the truck itself "Let's regroup first, then we can figure out how to save Tala and Castle"
"And I don't suppose you got any duct tape?" He asked, looking at the unconscious body next to him

Wyatt sow how one of the attackers noticed them, he was ready to hit him but the guy his attention turned to Marko. He pointed his rifle at Marko and for a brief second Wyatt wanted to jump in, but he too could see the guy wasn’t going to shoot. Wyatt then saw how Marko sped up and knocked the guy against the truck, causing him to hit his head and fall unconscious. “Nice one.” Wyatt said.
Then Marko yelled he should drive. Wyatt was planning to go with his own car, but his car was parked away from all the others so the attacker wouldn’t notice it, he would come back for his own car later. “Ok on it.” Wyatt said as he got up and immediately walked over to the car door. Then he got in and lucky for him they keys were still in the ignition slot, so he turned on the engine and drove off with squealing tires.
“Good plan, but I don’t think we will be able to regroup just yet, the others got out for sure, I didn’t see anyone else getting captured, so our priority should be to interrogate that guy and get Tala and Castle out, then we can try regroup.” Wyatt said as he watched the road. “Do you agree?” he asked. Wyatt wanted a plan they both could agree on. “I do have some tape in my car, but we are in the truck now, but I will grab my car later by the way, when we do know where they are, we’ll go back, grab my car and get them out, cause this truck is too big they will see it coming.” He said. “But maybe there is some rope somewhere in the back?” he asked as he finally was able to smile a bit. But he was worried though, about all the others, they had no clue who survived, they only knew about Castle and Tala, but at least he wasn’t alone.
Tala's head pounded, but she ran her hand over Castle. His suit was ripped and torn. Blood covered him, though as she checked closer, it looked like bits and pieces of a walker, and not his own blood. She gave a sigh of relief. Her mind was focused on him, making sure he was alive. She could hear everything going on around them.
Men shouted, guns fired, engines roared past the vehicle they were in the back of. She slowly turned her head and looked around. The RV was gone. Good the girls were safe. That was a relief.
She ran a hand over Cas' cheek, "Hey, come on, wake up." She spoke to him, close to his ear. She didn't want the guys in uniforms to know she was awake. She looked around the back of the truck. Her spear was not there, but, she felt for her gun at her back. It was, they hadn't searched her. She could hear men shouting about loading up. Did they mean to take her and Cas with them? Fuck no, not if she could help it. She leaned over Castle, and shook him. "Cas, wake the fuck up! Come on!" She was right in his face, but spoke a little harsher this time, "Open those eyes, please" she was wavering, loosing her tone. She needed someone to be with her. Tala liked to pride herself on not needing anyone, on being strong. Truth was, people needing her, kept her going, and she needed them just as badly.
A voice came from the front of the truck, "These two are all that's left, rest of them bugged out." She sighed. The others left them. She didn't blame them. They had to protect the girls.
That's when she noticed Castle's leg. It was bleeding, his pants were ripped up to his calf and she saw a piece of metal lodged in it. Fuck! That was gonna take time to heal. Maybe these people would fix it, heal him up? She wasn't sure, but they were military, and part of her was not about to trust them.
"Go on then! You said you didn't care much for fighting now go make yourself useful!" the brute yelled at Euberis, shoving him towards the back of the truck. "You know, you might want to be a little politer to me..I remember a certain someone asking me if a certain muscle was infected after he tried to hump a walker in a drunken stupor.." Euberis shot back, causing the soldier's face to lose all color. "Yeah..that is what I thought.." Euberis opened the back of the truck and jumped on in, immediately taking in the damage that had been done to the two survivors. "Holy shit..walkers did this?"
Euberis stepped over to the two laying on the ground, hands held up the entire time, "I'm not going to hurt you..actually just quite the opposite. Holy fuck!..sorry.. how the hell did you get that stuck in your leg, man?" Euberis immediatly dropped down to one knee, shrugged his backpack off and started digging for supplies. In a quick thought he grabbed his belt and whipped it off from around him, tossing it to the female survivor, "Put that around his thigh, two inches above the knee, tight...now!!"
When a male climbed into the back of the truck, Tala stiffened. She instantly moved to protect Castle, placing her self between him and the man.
Her eyes filled with cold hate as she stared at him. He spoke and she shook her head, "Walkers didn't do this, your bombs did. He was in the woods last I saw him where your people launched a couple grenades." She could pull the gun at her back and shoot him, but he seemed like some sort of a medic. That would keep Cas from getting help. She weighed the options and took the belt when he handed it to her. She tied it off, "Like that?" She glanced at him, and took Castle's hand, "you're gonna be alright , Cas." She glanced at the man, 'Right? You can help him, right? He won't answer me." She stared at him, waiting. "What the fuck were you all doing? I caught bits after I came to, something about clearing the horde, but we were here, and you all just rolled in and started shooting." She was obviously pissed off, a little more than a litte bit, to be honest, but she seemed sensible.
Euberis was making as fast work as he possibly could, only vaguely aware of what the woman was shouting at him. Something about grenades, that it was his fault, so on. Operating like this always sent him back to E.R. mode. "Not my people. Not my grenades. Tighter on the belt." Euberis reached into his pack and pulled out a small fifth of vodka, 65%. He doused the wound and shrapnel in it, then quickly took a large swig of it, tossing it over to Tala before reaching to grab the shrapnel with a pair of vice grips. "I need you to hold the leg steady..VERY steady, or we could hit an artery."
Euberis clamped the shrapnel with the vice grips and slowly pulled upwards, stopping every few seconds to check for any signs that they hit anything vital. "The blood flow is all but stopped so we won't know how good a job we've done until after..if he bleeds out, we did bad. If he lives, we did good." Euberis chunked the small piece of metal and hurriedly grabbed gauze, packing it into the wound. "Also these aren't my people..I travel from stronghold to stronghold offering help. They needed a medic. Didn't know they were fucking crazy."

Clementine dropped from the bench, crowding down near Mark, Lilly and Dakota. The continued gunfire as the RV sped past soldiers drove Clem to cover little Lee. Once the gunfire had faded into the distance, she hauled Lee and herself back up onto the bench.
While trying to calm and soothe the still frightened infant, she couldn't help lamenting the latest in an increasingly long line of people torn away from her life. Tala, Castle, Marko and everyone chance didn't give her time enough to really meet or know more. Already Clem couldn't count how many people the apocalypse had forced into her life and taken away the second they felt even a little bit like friend or family. The only certainty seemed to be that list would only grow more impossible to count.
Lee didn't allow Clem to reflect more than a couple seconds, his frightened cries drawing her attention back to him.

Dakota nodded to Lilly, keeping both hands and pressure on Mark's eye. She didn't dare let up from the wound, so she cleared her vision on her forearm and the crook of her elbow. She only slide her hands away when Lilly moved in with the emergency kit to clean and dress the wounded eye. Quietly thanking Lilly for helping Mark, she slid back up onto the bench.
The gunfire was gone now, though Lee's cries still filled her ears. She stared for awhile at her hands covered in blood. Koda could not help imagining it being not just Mark's blood, but Tala's... O-man's... Cassie's... everybody they just had to abandon... all mixed together. Dakota did not bother to dry her eyes this time, simply rising and weaving past Kiku to find whatever she could to wipe her hands clean on. "Excuse me."
Shauna Kelly: That helped, thank you
