Love In The Apocalypse (Violetine)

Deceiving

Everyone exited the bus.

"Smart." The same voice declared.

"You fucks, again?!" Yuri asked.

"Take them all in restraints. But the crippled one, and the child next to her ride with me." The man spoke, authoritatively.

...

"So, why are you here?" The leader asked Clementine.

"Trying to find survivors that aren't just evil scum..." Clementine answered.

"Yet, you travel with the Russian. You do not yet understand why he's our enemy." The leader declared.

"Why is he your enemy?" Clementine asked.

"We came to him peacefully... And he fired upon us, calling us monsters..." The leader replied.

"Why would he call you monsters?" Clementine asked.

"Well, first... What did he tell you about us?" The leader asked.

"That you're rapist murderers..." Clementine replied.

"He has deceived you. He is the Serpent In The Garden Of Eden." The leader declared, almost sounding disappointed.

"Huh... Still, you worship a bear?" Clementine asked.

"No... I admit, I don't worship a bear, like my followers. But without order, without religion. Man turns into a beast. So, I gave my flock order, and religion. " The leader replied.

"That's an interesting way to put it." Clementine declared, scoffing.

"The Bear my followers worship... Isn't an ordinary bear..." The leader spoke, seriously.

"What do you mean?" Clementine asked.

"When we get back to camp, you will see." The leader replied.

...

Okay... These cultists... Are... Are they gonna try to brainwash Clem?!

Violet realized that her restraints were loose.

"Hey, Violet." Yuri whispered.

"What?" Violet whispered back.

Yuri gestured to a sleeping cultist in the front of the bus.

"They don't know we're awake." Yuri explained, still whispering.

Violet managed to free herself.

"Hey. I have a knife hidden under the ashtray behind me." Yuri whispered.

Violet retrieved the knife.

Violet snuck up on the sleeping cultist, slitting his throat.

The cultist driving pushed Violet down.

"Hey!" The driver yelled.

He pulled out a gun, aiming at Violet.

The knife was knocked from her hand, and had slid towards Yuri.

Yuri got the knife, throwing it at the driver.

He dropped the gun, when the blade pierced the back of his skull.

Violet picked up the gun. She untied Yuri, quickly. Yuri pushed the dead driver out, taking the knife.

Yuri sat in the driver's seat.

Violet pushed the other cultist out.

Violet untied Alexei.

"Both of you, hold on!" Yuri ordered, putting the pedal to the metal.

The bus rammed into the leader's personal modified limo.

The limo tipped over.

Yuri stopped the bus.

Violet and Yuri got out, looking for Clementine and AJ.

"AJ?" Yuri asked, seeing a knocked out AJ, on the ground.

Violet searched all around for Clementine and the cult leader, but couldn't find them.
