Chapter I: Plans Everywhere
[Nica's POV]
I was sight seeing-- well more like watching the walkers we killed surrounding the village. Tough work, yes, but we've got no choice but to kill ALL of the walkers in this village.
"Nica~ Come inside, I prepared a food for us!" Rose said, she's one of my friends.
"That's great, how did you cook anyway?" I asked, obviously because I don't know how she cooked because for what I know, electricity and blah blah got out since the zombie apocalypse began.
"Well, Rein's father's a former hunter, of course she knows how to lit a fire up," Rose smiled, and went in immediately, so I followed her.
When I got inside, I saw Rein and Gilbert bickering as always.
"The hell do you want to do with your pathetic life Rein?!" Gil asked.
"For all I know your life's pathetic like mine as well! So shut up!" Rein remarked.
"Well at least I'm far stronger than you are!" Gil yelled.
"Oh the hell I care Gil, does this face looks like it cares huh? Does it?!" Rein yelled back.
"Will you two please shut your mouths up?" I kindly asked.
"Tss," both of them pouted and sat in front of each other.
"Uhm guys, come here," Rose said, hiding behind a curtain, looking outside.
We saw two cars, bunch of people got out and started talking with each other.
"What should we do? Drive them out?" Rein asked.
"Obviously," Gil retorted.
"Shhh, could you two please keep quiet?" Rose said, and the two sighed and nodded.
We saw them forming groups and invading the houses.
"They were far from the house we're staying at so I guess it'll take time for them to get here. Which means we can still make a perfect plan to drive them out of here," I stated.
"Rose, pack our guns and food in the bags. Rein, please get three knives, and Gil, you stay here with me." They followed what I told them while me and Gil stood behind the curtain, looking out for the people who might get in our so-called home.
* * *
"So we're going to hostage them?" Gil asked, I nodded.
"Hopefully the group who'll come inside here will only be few," I said.
"And what do we do once we hostage them?" Rose asked.
"Kill them," Rein smirked.
"We can't," I sighed then continued, "we're going to use them as a blackmail to drive the rest out of this village."
"What if they insisted? I mean they have a lot more members than we do," Gil remarked.
"Gil, we killed a lot more people than them, if they insisted then we'll do the Plan B. To kill all of them," I said.
"Hm you have a point, well alright," Gil said and shrugged.
"We'll hostage them after they step in of this house. Oh yeah, Rose did you hide the weapons well? Make sure they won't find it, those are our lives," I saw her nod.
"Shh be quiet, I think I heard something," Rein said holding her hand up like a 'be quite sign.'
That's when we heard footsteps nearing, I caringly look outside to see a boy and a girl, I couldn't see their faces but I know that maybe, just maybe they're the same ages as us.
I looked at my friends and nodded my head, we hid beside the front door, knowing we can get this plan through, I let my guard down, which is a very big and dumb and stupid mistake.
Our plan got backfired because of my dumbness.
* * *
"Fucking free us here," I growled.
The boy, who has a sheriff hat snickered. While the girl he's with kept Rose and the others guarded.
"What? Can't believe your plan to ambush us backfired?" The boy said.
"Fuck you," I muttered.
"Fuck you too," he retorted back.
"Get a room, you two," the girl said and rolled her eyes.
"Oh please, shut up Misty," the boy said.
"Pfft Carl," the Misty girl said, "you can't order me around."
"God just free us here!" Rein yelled.
"As if they will, dumbass," Gil said to her.
"I'm not talking to you asshole so shut the fuck up," Rein narrowed her eyes at Gil.
My eyebrow twitched, damn when will people get along -- oh wait, that's impossible nowadays. There are still surviving humans, but no, there's no humanity at all.
I looked at Rose who's currently silent and I don't know why because if I remembered correctly, she should be the one begging for them to let us free but now, she's kind of... out of character.
"Where are they anyway?" Carl asked to Misty.
"Gil, I'm going to use my pocket knife here to cut the rope tied in my hands," I whispered.
"I'm using mine right now," he whispered and I nodded.
"I dunno. Maybe finding some guns in each houses?" Misty said, cleaning her pistol with a sheet of cloth.
"What? They should be here right now, I mean they're just a house away," Carl said.
Done! I finally cutted the rope! I passes it to Gil as I continued to act like my hands are still tied.
"Oh don't tell me they ran into trouble?" Misty said as Carl shrugged, then he turned to us.
"You got some water here?" He asked but neither of us answered. He rose his eyebrow, "well?"
"As if we'll give you," I said, narrowing my blue eyes at him. I saw him smirk a little.
"You have to, or else--"
"Or else what?" Rein said.
Carl sighed, "you four better thank us for not killing you."
"Whatever. Who and what are you doing in this village?" Rein asked.
"We'll tell you if you tell us your names," Carl smirked back.
"Not a big deal," I muttered.
"Well?" Carl waited, "do we have a deal or no?"
"Sure, whatever. I'm Rein Dimes," Rein said.
"Rose... Rose Meyers," Rose said giving them a shy little smile.
"Gilbert Jones, now can you tell us who you are and what you need in this village?" Gil said, narrowing his eyes at them.
"Oh my, I am soooo scared," Misty smirked, bringing her face close to Gil to mock him, who just narrowed his eyes.
Carl rolled his eyes, "I'm Carl Grimes and this is Misty Sackett," Carl said pointing his index finger at Misty who still has a mocking smirk.
"Oh," Carl turned to me, "before we tell what we're doing here, this girl here still didn't tell her name."
"Tsk," I glared daggers at him, "I don't want to know what you're doing here and I have no plans on telling who I am so fuck off."
He bent down in front of me then touched my greasy blond hair tied in a messy pony tail, a smirk on his face.
"What the hell are you doing to her?" Gil asked.
"Hey! You're not going to rape her, are you?!" Rein asked earning a laugh from Misty.
"Fuck you," I muttered and head banged him.
"Ouch..." I whispered closing my eyes because of the pain.
Before he could do anything, I stood up quickly and used another pocket knife to tickle his neck.
"You... you stupid girl! How dare you-"
"Shut up, Carl, or else I'll kill you," I blackmailed.
I glanced at Misty who, obviously, couldn't do anything, she's so readable. I looked at Gil and slightly nodded my head, I held my knife closer to Carl's neck for him to close his eyes. And after a minute, Gil is already hostaging Misty as well.
Rose and Rein took this as a chance to cut their ropes as well.
"Tch," I heard Carl muttered. "I hate you."
"I have the same feelings as you have, Grim," I smirked.
"It's Grimes," he corrected.
"How I wish I care," I said back.
"Hmm, Gil and I will do the 'make them go out of this village' operation while you two fire loads of guns to attract their group's attention, wait for my signal before you two fire it," I said and the two nodded, Rose and Rein grabbed two pistols each and went outside first.
"Shit, you don't have to do this, just let us go then we will be the ones to talk to them," Carl said.
"Oh great idea Carl..." I trailed off, "but no, I want your group to know that they messed the wrong village, the wrong people. But don't worry, we won't kill anyone of them... unless we have to," I smirked then grabbed a nearby rope to tie his hand, the excess of the rope was still long so I gave it to Gil to tie Misty's hands.
The four of us soon followed, me and Gil at Carl and Misty's back while holding a knife at their necks, two inches away.
Soon we stood beside the house where we stayed at, whilst Rose and Rein loaded the guns. This is part of the plan, to hide beside this house and once they heard the gunshots, they will obviously regroup then talk about it, Rose and Rein will pretend they were attacked by those who fired the gunshots then they'll lead them here, where Gil and I are still hostaging these two. Their group's attention will surely be at these two's safety so while at it, Rose and Rein will sneak up to hostage another two members of their group.
I gave them the signal to go and fire it and soon after that, loads and loads of gunshots followed. Rose and Rein started walking out, but before that, they injured their foot and arm, it's a minor injury though but yes they're crazy but it'll be worth it in the end, and I have faith in that thought. We waited for their return.
"Why the hell are you doing this?" Misty asked.
"To protect our home," Gil answered.
"Can't you just let us go? We'll tell them to not go in this village anymore just... just don't hurt them." Misty trailed off, looking down.
We didn't answer, neither of us did.
Until we heard footsteps coming this way, I heard Carl muttered curse words, obviously pissed off of us.
"Put the knives down," a guy said, he's slowly moving towards us, and as expected, every one of them was drawn on the situation that they didn't noticed that another two of them is already almost hostaged. Two women.
"Oh no," another girl said that noticed those two women's situation.
"What? So you two are a part of this?" A bearded guy asked.
"Sorry, mister," Rose said, she's too kind.
"We don't have to bite each other's head off literally, let's just talk about it," the guy earlier said.
"Well, we'll talk about it while we hostage these four," I smirked.
"We don't need to hurt each other so put your knives down," the guy with a bow said.
I heaved a sigh, "let's get to the point already, no one will get hurt if you get out of this village and leave everything behind, your guns and everything that you took here, but since I'm such a kind girl, you can get out of here together with your cars."
They were all silent for a minute, then the girl with the katana spoke, "what if you four just come with us?"
"What?! That's just absurd Michonne!" Carl retorted.
"Shut up, Carl," I ordered.
"Well? What? Are you going to surrender everything or will their heads be cut off?" I threatened.
The guy who's named Rick narrowed his eyes at me, "fine, we will surrender everything and leave this village-- now will you let go of them?"
"Guns. Put your weapons down or--"
"You look like him," the girl that Rein is hostaging said.
"Him?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Say, what is your name?" She asked and my eyes widened a little. "Look at her carefully guys, she looks like him, right? She looks like them."
"Now that you said it..." the woman with a katana said, "you're right."
"Don't tell me she's their lost sibling?" The bearded guy said with a look of shock.
"Woah, woah, woah," the guy with a crossbow said, "you're a Rhee, right?"
I narrowed my eyes at them and I unwillingly held the knife tighter.
"You're a Rhee?" Carl whispered, voice full of shock.
I cleared my throat, "so what if I am?!" I glared daggers at them, "so what if I am a Rhee?! And how the fuck did you know?! What do you know about me, huh?!"
"I am right..." the woman earlier said once again, "are you my husband's little sister? Are you Glenn's little sister?"
I lost my grip to my knife, "you know my brother?" I quietly gasped, "and what did you just said? You are my brother's wife?"
Suddenly, that Rick guy came and my head felt heavy, the next thing I knew, black was all that I can see.
