Since Christmas was yesterday i decided i am going to make this one extra long just for you people's as my gift to you!
*(Y/N)'s P.O.V*
My head pounded with a rather familiar pain, my wrists were sore and i could feel they were tied together behind me as were my feet. My mouth hung open slightly from the awful tasting rag that had been stuffed in my mouth, i could hardly remember what had happened but i could. As i forced my eyes open i was met with darkness, someone had blindfolded me, pushing the rag out of my mouth with my tongue since the people who had kidnapped me weren't smart enough to wrap it around my head "Henry?" i whispered my voice hoarse "(Y/N)?" his voiced "can you see anything?" i asked "no, they blindfolded me, you?" "same here" i replied.
With slight difficulty i pushed myself up into a sitting positioned and leaned back against the wall, from the sound it made i would think it was metal. Were we in the shack i had found? No, it's far to small to hold us and the people who kidnapped us which means we were taken to another location. The sound of metal on metal alerted me, it was the sound of a door sliding open "well, well looks like our new guests are awake" a man with a southern accent drawled. Footsteps sounded as they approached me, all of the sudden the blindfol was ripped from my head, peeking my eyes open i noticed it was dark but since my eyes had to remain closed for such a long time i was adjusted to the dark.
We appeared to be in a container of some sort, a train possibly. In front of me was a man, his hair grey and reaching past his ears, it was slicked back. Stubble decorated his face as did a smirk "hey sweetheart, you're probably wondering who we are and just for the fun of it, i'll tell you. We are the Claimers, i am the leader Joe" he introduced before standing up "at your service" he bended forward at the waist in a bow "you see our dear friend Henry over here got accidentally left behind and we went looking for him, we thought you might hurt him so we knocked you out" i scoffed harshly at his words "i'm a little girl, what could i have possibly done?" i asked "we heard your conversation about how you knew to use a gun" he replied.
I looked behind him at Henry who was tied up much like i was but his blindfold was still on "yeah? Why is he tied up too?" i asked "because he's a softy, he'll feel bad for you and untie you and then you could shoot us all" he shrugged. It was then i noticed the many men standing behind him weilding rather nasty looking weapons "i call-" "no, not this time boys. We share her" Joe cut one of them off, he looked as though he was going to protest but decided against it.
Joe then walked towards Henry removing his own blindfold "now Henry you shouldn't have tried to run away...now you have to watch us break your pretty little girlfriend completely" i heard him whisper. My breath began to quicken as panic set in and i pushed myself further into the wall "ah, ah, ah" Joe tutted wagging his finger slowly as he advanced on me "don't you worry honey, i'm sure this is your first time so i won't hurt you too bad" though i knew i couldn't trust this man his words made me calm down the slightest before he leaned close to me ear "but i can't promise that my men won't" he whispered before pulling back.
My eyes were wide with horror as they grabbed my shoulders and pulled me forward picking up the cloth i had pushed out of my mouth earlier today and now tieing it around my head tightly so i couldn't remove it. I whimpered as their hands clamped tightly onto my shoulder which were sure to leave a bruise, they tugged me forward harshly before grinning widely and pushing me down so i laid on the floor. At this i screamed into the gag thrashing about even though i couldn't move my limbs as they had been tied together. The others laughed and crowded me, a man closest removed his belt from his jeans completely wraping one end around his hand letting the end with the buckle hang loose.
He then nodded signalling to the other to flip me over, i let out a loud sob as tears leaked from my eyes when they wripped my shirt off. The cool air hit my skin like needles, buttons of my sirt bounced off the walls taking a moment to admired my bra clad upper half they flippd me over. Suddenly a felt a burning pain on my back, the sound of the leather belt breaking the sound barrier. Letting out a scream i arched my back, the buckle digging into my sking before getting lifted off, the whipping continued. Henry's desperate cries for them to stop were drowned out by my own, my screavms merged with my sobs until the whipping stopped. A warm hand was rested on my back, blood tickling my sides as they dripped from the cuts, strangely enough it hurt more to have the hand rested on my back then it did being whipped.
I was flipped back over thankful for the relief as the cool metal floor of the container soothed my cuts, though the floor was dirty and there were great chances of me getting an infection. I looked up at them through my tears, their heads were tilted upwards but there eyes still on me, i resisted cringing when they licked their lips almost as if they were in bliss just from watching me writhe in pain. Joe leaned towards my face "well dear, i'm afraid life isn't as good as it was back when biters didn't roam the place looking for fresh meat to chew on, when you can't fight the urges anymore...you've got to find the next best thing and whether she agrees to it or not, we really don't care" he cackled.
Narrowing my eyes at him in hatred i jolted upwards and my forehead made hard inpact with his nose ina headbutt. I snickered as blood dripped from his nose, he clutched it tightly before glaring daggers at me "take care of her men, make sure not an ounce of self worth is left" he hissed before storming off most likely to attend to the trunk he calls a nose (i'm so sorry to the actor who plays Joe, i don't mean it. I just need the reader to hate you because well...you are trying to...y'know).
I heard the clinking of metal on metal as they all began to unbuckle their belts, if i wasn't scared before, i definitely was now. Looking towards Henry who was shuffling closer in a slug position i began to fiddle with the rope binding my hands 'come on, come on' i chanted as i tugged my wrists away from each other to loosen the rope. The Claimers reached down for the button on my jeans and my tugging became more desperate, with one final tug ignoring the fact i had major rope burn my wrist finally broke free. Pulling the other one out i lifted my legs to kick anyone who came close, nailing the closest in between the legs he crouched forward in pain before falling back in the meantime knocking some of his friends over.
Unknotting the binds on my feet i jumped up as the now angry men surrounded me, they had discarded their weapons not to long ago while they busied themselve with me so they were defensless. Except for one of them, my gun was strapped to his waist since they were smart enough to take it away from me, Henry was struggling to pulls his own binds loose. The man took my gun from it's holster and aimed it at me before walking closer until i was staring down the barrel "lay back down, and let us do what we want with you before i plant a bullet in your brain" he snapped.
I began to crouch down slowly feigning obedience before swiftly turning to the side and kicking his arm forcing my gun out of his hand. It landed on the floor and i quickly picked it up and aimed it at them. They gulped sharing glances as they raised their hands "wait just a second!" Joe's voice echoed off the metal walls before he entered traces of blood under his nose, removing his own gun from his holster what struck me as odd is he didn't aim it at me.
Joe walked towards Henry before grabbing the red head by the hair and tugging his head up, pointing the gun to Henry's forehead "put the gun down, or his brain paints the walls" Joe sighed clearly not bothered by the fact he could murder a kid. Henry shook his head saying i shouldn't do it, Joe ripped the duct tape covering Henry's mouth off "i might as well let you speak if you're going to die" he shrugged "(Y/N), don't do it. Escape. Get out of here!" Henry yelled "now, now, you don't want your friend to die do you?" he asked a fake pout on his face.
I looked between the two worried "(Y/N), i'll be fine, please just go! You have to find your boyfriend!" he sputtered "and you have to find your girlfriend!" i replied "(Y/N)...i know she died" he whispered "what?" i replied "i always knew she died when she got trapped in the room with all those walkers, some part of me believed that she got out through the fire escape but i know she died...(Y/N) your boyfriend isn't dead, i can feel it. You need to find him, go (Y/-" a gunshot went off.
Blood stained the walls and Henry fell limp, Joe sighed letting go of the boys head and i watched as he fell to the ground. Joe then aimed his gun at me, aiming my own gun at him i lowered it shooting the man in the foot before running out of the door Joe entered desperate to find the exit.
I wiped the tears from my eyes which blinded me as i ran along the train an open door to my left caught my attention, it let in light...it was the way out! 'Henry...i'm so sorry i couldn't save you, i'm so sorry' i thought before jumping out and running hopefully to get back to Judith and the others.
