The Lost: In Reality: Part 8
I slowly turned around. There was a gun pointed to my face.
I tightened my grip around the machete, with hundreds of thoughts racing through my head. Maybe I could lunge forward and push the machete through their abdomen, or maybe I could aim it at their heads and throw it. No use…no matter what I did, I’d be dead.
“You make one move with that machete, and I’ll splatter that pretty face of yours all over the walls.” a young man yelled at me with rage.
“No need for that Riley, she might not even be a threat” calmy said a man. I tried examining his face, but there were shadows cast upon it from the hat he was wearing. “Who…who are you people?” I faintly stuttered. “That’s none of your concern at the moment young lady. Are there any others in the house?” interrupted the man. “No, it’s just me” I answered, with my head looking at the floor beneath my feet.
Where was Daryl anyways? Did he leave me here stranded? Maybe this was all a setup, or maybe he was coming back? I wanted nothing more than to figure all of this out, and get out of this confusion.
I had to toughen up, no more looking down at my feet, no more stuttering, this is my territory.
“Get that gun out of my fu*king face” I screamed. Riley, rolled his eyes, as a smirk slowly formed across his face. “Or what? You gonna come at me with that pointy knife of yours?” “Damn right I will, I’ll gut you like I’d gut any of those walkers out there. This is my house, and here you two are trying to take things over. Even dogs have the decency to piss on trees first before claiming them as their own.”
“Now miss, no need to get all fired up” the older man said. I swear this man was either delusional, crazy, or just straight up stupid. “I’ll calm down once this as*hole puts the gun down.” The man looked at Riley, and nodded. He lowered down the gun. As I sat down, I made eye contact with both men. “I’m only going to ask once. What are you two doing here?”
