Mia helped balanced him, the sound of gun shots in the distance. He felt weak, tired. He was hot and cold, feverish. His body was shaking, he could barely move. He leaned against the hood of the truck, the hood coming just up to his rib cage. He felt his whole body agaisnt it, his ears blocking out all the noise.
He saw Mia and Jake talking, but couldn't hear what they were saying. He felt Mia garb his wounded hand, stretching his arm across the hood. Jake held a machete, the blade looking like it had been stained of blood. He felt tears down his face again, he couldn't look at it, what they were going to do. He brought his other hand up to stabilize himself, putting agaiant the hood.
He felt the blade go down. One swift chop. He screamed out, louder than when he was bit. His knees buckling, going weak. He fell to the ground, knees hitting the pavement. Blood ran out from the arm, on to his legs. He felt his vision blacking out again, slowly dipping in and out. It was done, he would be safe. Tears ran down his face again. He felt like he was going to be sick, his other hand holding him up.
Kelly watched as the man clean cut the arm just above the wrist off. The hand twitched a little at the separation, and so did Kelly's eyes to see the warm blood eject from the stump. He felt elated at the sight of blood, always had and it reminded him of the first time he cut into flesh, sawed through bone to drink its white marrow, and the scream. Oh God the glorious scream, this mans was as pleasant or high pitched like women's but he felt satisfied either way.
"What now?"
This rubbed Kelly the wrong way, and in his mind he saw himself sink his own blade into the mans head right to the hilt, but he pushed it away for now. This man would be first when the moment arised, the world had no place for stupidity! Kelly rushed up grabbing the man who just had his arm cut off, "Jesus Christ are you deaf sir? I told you what to do now move."
The man was light, anyone was light compared to Kelly's brute strength, and with careful ease Kelly dragged him to the back of the truck where the muffler was and grabbing the stump he put it against the muffler.
*SIIIIZZZ*
It burned the exposed bloody nerves closed, smelled to the high heavens (Kelly loved the smell he secretly breathed it in deep through his nose), and he fought hard to hold the stump against the muffler as the pain was probably excruciating for the man.
"Just shh buddy this is to save your life," Kelly whispered like a parent did to a child who just got stung, "I got you man."

Dannie jumped onto the bike as he hoped she would, and he had to smile when she wrapped her one arm around his waist as it was the closest they had ever gotten. It felt nice, but he knew they had to focus on the mission at hand. The walkers crept closer and with the motorcycle they could keep their distance away from them, whereas those that got to close Dannie could shoot. It was the perfect plan; it would give the others enough time to get out and hopefully save Nate.
Charles turned up the sound of his motorcycle, luring more to them as he quickly circled around on the spot, allowing Dannie to blast their head off as he passed. He drove through the herd and stopped once they escaped their grasp, watching when they followed after. Knowing the others were far away from them and busy doing their own thing to survive, an idea kicked in. Since the moment Charles met them, he had thought the people Dannie were with was weak and now it would only get tougher as Nate would probably die from the bite. The group was doomed to fall apart; it was only a matter of when, not if.
What he had in mind was something he knew Dannie would not appreciate, but it was for the best. Luckily they had all they needed, his backpack was stocked with necessary equipment and food, and he had her by his side. They didn`t need the others, all they needed was each other.
“Hold on.” Charles called out, and then with a hell of a noise he lifted the front wheel up and speeded forward, leaving a trail of smoke behind. As they passed Walmart, they could see the backdoor and on it, it was written: Do not enter, dead inside. Marked by the initials of whoever had done it. Instead of stopping, Charles continued to drive fast, leaving the others with Dannie.
Mia couldn't believe this was happening, but she had locked it all down. Her emotions were clamped down tight. She stared at Nate's face. She knew they only had seconds to do this. They didn't want the infection to spread any further than it already had , or Jake would be putting a bullet in Nate's brain instead of taking his hand.
She didn't see Jake, just the blade as it came down. The hand released and she had been pulling it so tight , she nearly fell backwards on her ass when the tension released.
The scream was something out of her nightmares. She scrambled to keep her footing and raced around the truck. Jake asked what was next. He was wasting time, precious time. The metallic scent of blood filled the air, as she moved past Jake. She didn't say anything, focused on stopping that blood flow. The big man was already on it, reacting faster than she could.
The smell, oh god, the smell. She swallowed bile that rose in her throat and dropped to her knees next to Nate. Mia hurried out of her pack and started grabbing bandages and disinfectant," it should have been cleaned first!" She yelled at the man. Nate's face worried her, he may have lost too much blood. Damnit, she wasn't a doctor! Soon as it was seared, she would wrap moist bandages around it , then dry over top after slathering Vaseline over the tip. Best she had to keep it from sticking to the badges , hell, it was how they dealt with circumcisions in the hospital, had to do something.

Jake was still a bit overwhelmed, he was able to ask Mia the next step, but everything seemed a bit blurry, every voice he heard, seemed like it had an echo. But the worst part was Nate his scream, it kept rushing through his brain. ‘Did I hurt my friend, no it was to safe him.’ Jake thought ad he started to feel guilty and was afraid he would lose Nate too.
Then he closed his eyes and tried to regain his focus. Then Kelly jumped in, Jake heard how rude he was, like he had no feelings, it was normal how he reacted, they just sliced off his best friend his arm. Jake saw how he dragged Nate over to the muffler and burned the wound. Jake his eyes turned big, he was shocked and starting to get angry. The events that happened rushed through his mind, if that dumbass didn’t fire the gun and killed the walker with a knife, they wouldn’t have been surrounded and Nate wouldn’t be in this situation. He could hear scream Nate, he was hurting him, followed by Mia yelling that they had to disinfect it first.
Jake his eyes changed completely, the anger was clearly visible. He rushed over to Kelly, grabbed him by his neck and turned him around. He might have dragged Nate, but Jake was pretty sure he had way more strength then Kelly. Then he planted his fist on Kelly his cheek and pushed him away from Nate. “It’s your fault you ass, you fired the gun, yes to save someone, but never heard of knives!” Jake yelled. “But that isn’t enough, No, you tried to help again, by closing the wound, before we could disinfect it, you dumbass!” Jake yelled as he stepped closer; but heard another scream of Nate, which gave him a wake-up call, he had to be at Mia her side, helping him. “Everytime you help, you do something stupid, from now on think before you act, that is how we work, now get up and keep us safe!” he yelled as he turned around and rushed back to Mia.
“How is he doing?” he asked worried. “Can I help?” he added. Jake just had one of his famous mood swings, he didn’t have them for a long time, but losing so much people, caused him to find that bad part of him under all the emotional rubble. As he waited for answer he looked around to check the area. “Where did Dannie go?” he asked. “Sorry bad timing, I’m always doing stupid things when worried.” He added.
Nate still stared at the hand, laying in the pool of blood. He felt the blood leaking from the stump, running down his arm and falling ton he ground. It soaked his shirt and pants from where it hit him instead of the ground. He heard Jake ask what to do next, Nate was in to much pain to think, he didn't know what to do. His head was pounding, vision slipping in and out.
He felt someone grab him. It was the guy who had shot, and brought all the walkers near. The man was stronger than he appeared. Nate was suprised he could even lift him, having a good head or two taller than him and easily outweighed the man. Soon nate was behind the truck. He felt the man shove his stump agaisnt the muffler.
Nate screamed out again as the flesh touched. The smell of burning skin immediatly filled his nose and he tried not to gag. He looked down at the stump, the skin turning black from where it was touching. After a while the man still held the stump to it. Nate tried to pull off, but the man held it tight to the muffler. He brought his hand to man's leg, a quick punch to the shin, again and again until he let go.
Nate pulled farther backward, pushin back and back. He saw Jake with his hands around the man's neck and then Mia coming to his side. He was exhausted. He collapsed against the ground, holding up his arm for Mia.
"Jake enough. The walkers," Nate said, all he managed to say.
The punch from the angry man phased Kelly little physical, but it was midly shocking that the man attacked Kelly for saving his friend. Kelly rubbed his cheek but grinned, "I don't get you people," Kelly began paused to spit a mixture of tobacco and blood, "You know I did you a favor sir, right now we can't afford questions or second guesses."
This was a mild spark of anger for Kelly he was well composed, "I do apologize for the gun thing, I am just trying to help sir. If you want to continue on with your hissy fit than do it in the truck we've got to go. Your biker friend is gone, as is the woman he chased off after. The rotters are all coming back, help me get him in the truck we have to go!"
Mia rushed what she was doing. She'd have to finish in the truck. She paid little attention to Jake and Kelly. That was until Jake hit him and then they were verbally at each other. She stared at Nate's face. She had to get some fluid in him, soon. She glanced at the two men and then stood up," knock it the fuck off! Both of you! I mean it, so help me god if he dies because you two are wasting time arguing, I will fucking shoot you both!" She grabbed her bag and opened the truck door tossing it in," now get him in, we do t have time for this shit!" She crawled in and then slide way over for them to get Nate inside." One of you drive, I'm gonna need someone to hand me supplies." She needed to finish wrapping his arm and then start an IV. She had one or two bags of dextrose, and she thought she had some saline. He would need the fluids to help his body replenish his blood supply. She may even have to transfuse him before this was all over.

Jake heard Nate asking him to stop on his way back to Mia, followed by Mia who also yelled. “It’s alright buddy I’m here, I’ll keep us safe.” He said as he watched for walkers; but overal, most of the walkers seemed to be far. Then he turned to Mia. “Sorry, can’t help it, I’m a little on edge.” He replied with regret in his eyes. He knew he was wasting valuable time.
Then he heard how Kelly spoke and sort of apologized. He rolled his eyes and waited for him to finish. “You done?” he asked irritated, but Kelly added some more. “Yeah, yeah, aright, let’s get going, and stop with the sir, makes me feel old.” He added. Jake could hear Mia in the background ,she was still angry and commenting on the fight. “I’m sorry, alright.” He said back.
Then Jake walked over to Nate and together with Kelly he got him in the truck. Jake heard Mia wanted someone to drive, obviously, and someone to help her. He didn’t trust Kelly for either of those, but he wanted eyes on the road. “I’ll drive.” He said. Then he walked closer to Kelly. “No funny business, I’ll be watching your every move.” He whispered softly. Then he made his way over to the driver side, he got in, started the engine and was ready to leave.
As he waited, the word of Kelly echoed in his mind, did Dannie and Charles leave them. “Can’t trust anyone anymore.” Jake said disappointed to himself. But deep down he wondered if they would come back, Charles might leave them, but Dannie, she would never. ‘If that asshole did something to her, I’ll kill him.’ Jake thought. Then he pushed those thoughts away and focused on getting them all out of there.

Kelly grabbed his belongings tossing them in the back of the truck, he checked his .22 rifle, and he climbed into the back of the truck his weight pushing down the bed. Kelly wasn't a tall man but he was thick and stocky, stronger than a Ox. He took a seat on one of the wheel wells, Kelly removed his hat tossing it down on the truck bed, and with a free hand smoothed his hair.
The air felt super relaxing against his face, he closed his eyes, and inhaled the evening air. Another day.
"We need to find shelter before night falls upon us," Kelly pointed North, "They is a house bout three miles I cleared, say a month ago, clean got extra food and medicine. A bed for all of y'all. Red, black shutters, and two story."
When the time came and a plan was hatched, Kelly was going to gut the punk who had punched him but before that he was going to make him watch as he ate piece by piece of his woman friend. The arm less man he'd fix with a simple bullet to the head and their more silent friend he wasn't sure yet, probably just gut him too and hang him from a tree.
For the time being that beast inside of Kelly slept, he was on his own as to how he'll befriend these people.

Nate could barely move. He was all over the place, unable to follow who was talking or who was moving him. He blacked out in small doses, felt dizzy, and sick to his stomach. As they moved him into the truck he felt Mia beside him. Jake and Kelly still had tension between them, he could feel it. His arm hurt, more pain then he had ever felt before.
As the truck drove, Nate laid back. "Where Charles and Dannie. Did they make it out," he asked weakly. He winced as he spoke, his eyes closing tight. His whole body ached, he was shaking. "I don't feel to good," he said, again barely auidible. He was hot, yet shivering. He feared the infection was still spreading. He had to get out.
"Just drive till it's safe. Stop as soon as it is."
Mia struggled beside him. She looked at Nate," calm down, just breath." She felt his head with the back of her hand. He was possibly going into shock from the trauma. She tried to hold up his damaged arm to finish wrapping it. She needed to get an IV started on him. Mia didn't have enough hands." Hey," in the black bag, there is a bag of saline and an IV start kit, can you get those out for me?" She glanced at Kelly as she continued to wrap Nate's arm,"Nate, baby, I need you to focus, is this too tight?" She almost was sure he had no feeling in his stump, his nerve endings should have been burnt and deadened.
Mia heard what Kelly said about a place to stay," that's fine, I need a better place to take care of him. I need to monitor him, to make sure...." She wouldn't say it. She wouldn't believe that they hadn't gotten to him in time. He wouldn't turn! Mia forced these thoughts out of her mind, she knew it would do no good for her to dwell on this. She couldn't afford to doubt herself, Nate's life depended on it.
Emre waited outside until everyone had gotten out of he store safe. In the mean time, there was a few biters making their way towards them, so Emre decided to take action before any of them reached the group. He aimed his gun at the biters head, he thought whether or not he should pull the trigger or use a melee weapon. They had already caused a lot of havoc though, one bullet wouldn't do too much damage. He aimed it directly at the biters head, took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. The bullet zoomed into the biters skull and came out the other side, killing it. There was a few more making their way over some more, so Emre took those out, it only took a few more bullets.
When everyone was out of the store, Emre noticed something had happened to Nate. He wasn't quite sure what had happened, but by the way people were reacting it was bad. They had crowed around the hood of the truck, trying to help him it seemed. Emre took a little look around first, taking a few steps forward and checking to see if there was any biters. He aimed down his sights and looked in the distance, just to be sure. As he turned around and began to make his way over to the hood of the truck, a loud shout came from Nate, something had happened.
He picked up his pace and rushed over to the hood. He also saw Jake take a swing at the new guy, Kelly. As he got there, he noticed Nate's hand had been cut off. He looked around at the situation, the hand, the blood, the people there, he was so confused. "What the fuck... ?!?" he said aloud, but it was directed towards himself. But Emre didn't have time to wonder as they were getting ready to all get into the truck and go. Emre didn't have much belongings, so he just got himself into the truck and sat quietly as they set off.
Kelly nodded and went straight into the bag first grabbing the IV kit, "Here," he handed it to her, "No offense little Miss but how do you spell that first one?"
The man wasn't stupid by any means, school was never his thing, but had he applied himself he'd been top of his class and more. He wasn't going to let these people know he was smart and he could be dumb as Hell, "I ain't to bright but I can read some and write very little."
Kelly looked at the other man and nodded, "Names Kelly friend, Kelly Stone."

Jake drove as fast as he could and desperately searched for a place, where they would find shelter. He kept his eyes on the road, but checked the mirror every few seconds. “How is he doing Mia?” he asked in a worried tone.
He watched Kelly and heard something in the direction of a joke, Jake felt like his blood was boiling from anger. Then he saw Emre, shocked and doing nothing. “Kelly, no need for asking about spelling, just help Mia and shut it.” He said in a stern tone. “Emre, wake up man, she need all the help she can get!” he yelled. Then his eyes went back to the road, still scanning for a decent place.
Nate stared straight ahead. Again he heard talking, noises, white noise. The only voice he foccused on was Mia's, her telling him to call down. How could he calm down, look what happened? They were doing the best they could, but he knew they would never make it. It was nothing they could do, they would be better to just leave him.
"I'm going to die," he said calmly, "I can feel it. The infection, it spread to far. It won't work. It didn't work. It's to late." His voice was shakey clearly panicked. He reached at his stump, rubbing it. He looked at Mia, grabbing her knee. "I don't want to die. I feel weak, I ache all over." He just wanted to sleep, close his eyes and drift away.
He looked around outside of the truck. "Jake, stop the truck," he said quickly, "the farm hous, on the left. It's lights are on."
(Wrap up anything you have to wrap up in you next post, I'm closing the thread after. A new thread will be up sometime tomorrow, maybe the day after)
Mia took her hand and grabbed the Iv start kit from Kelly. His small question and confession caught her off guard for a moment. "S, A, L, I, N, E." she spelled it for him and then she heard Jake tell him to help her and shut up, "He is helping me!" she snapped at Jake. He needed to stop this. Why was he being so nasty to Kelly? He was truly trying to help.
Nate grabbed her knee and she stared at him, 'No, stop that talk, you're not dying. " She kissed his head, "I am gonna get some fluids in you and you will feel better." She ripped open the IV kit and grabbed his arm, his good arm. She smacked at the crease of his elbow and felt with her finger, looking for a vein. She heard him tell Jake to stop. Mia picked her head up and looked, 'He's right, there are lights in that house!" She glanced at kelly, 'find the right bag of fluid?" She held out her hand, feeling like their luck might actually be turning.
Shauna Kelly: That helped, thank you
