A/N: Man, sorry it's been so long since I've updated this thing… I've gotten into some other Fic ideas… I know I need to finish this thing, and I will do my best to do that.

"I think I need to go join them." Monroe said as Aelita and Clementine left to be in front of the fire place. "Besides, I got to go talk to Sarah. I need to make sure that she and I are… still okay."

"Sounds good." William said. "I should probably go help Kenny and Walter around back."

"Alright, talk to you two later." Yumi said. They nodded to Yumi and Ulrich as a farewell and left the couple. Monroe approached the fireplace to talk to Sarah, and William descended down the stairs and headed outside to help Kenny.

Ulrich and Yumi looked to each other and immediately blushed. Neither one has forgotten about the struggles and joys that their relationship has undergone. "So… you know I really did miss you. I missed all of you guys, but I missed you the most." Ulrich said. "It's so easy to forget all of the struggles that we went through."

"Yeah, but… I would repeat it in a heartbeat." Yumi said.

"Really? But we fought so much… and I sulked like crazy when you and William-" Ulrich said, but he was interrupted by Yumi.

"Shut up, Ulrich! All you ever do is recall all of the bad times in our relationship." Yumi said. "Don't you remember any of the good times, like when we got Aelita out of the supercomputer for the first time, or when you brought me back from the digital sea…?"

"I do remember that." Ulrich said. "Jeremie was so distraught that we couldn't bring Aelita to the real world, but I was so happy to see you again, to see you alive…"

"And there was only one other time when I felt even happier than that…" Yumi said. Ulrich looked to her as she continued with a radiant smile. "It was the first time that you kissed me… when we were in Lyoko. I know that XANA ruined of our lives, but at the same time, I am thankful that he existed. We wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for him."

Ulrich looked to Yumi with wide eyes and an affectionate smile. "I love you, Yumi." Ulrich said.

"I love you, too." Yumi said. The two leaned in close to each other and puckered their lips ready to kiss until they heard a whisper.

"Ulrich, Yumi?" Luke whispered from behind one of the columns.

The two groaned and looked to Luke with a glare. "What?" They both hissed simultaneously.

Luke motioned to come over to where he was. They reluctantly did so while maintaining a glare at the man. "Look, I know this might be a bad time but-"

"Bad time? Luke, you seriously have some pretty shitty timing." Ulrich hissed.

"Look, I know, I know." Luke said as he raised his hands in surrender. "But this is very important. I need to show you something."

"Alright, let's see it." Ulrich said as he sulked. He held out his hand in preparation to see what Luke was going to show him.

Luke nodded and handed Ulrich a photo of the man that was shot by Nick and Walter standing side-by-side. Ulrich's eyes widened and he said, "Oh shit."

"You see, I knew something was off, so I asked Sarita about their friend. And now they're all worried that he's not back yet." Luke explained. "But because you and Monroe went across that bridge, I had to come to one of you two. I couldn't give it to Monroe, because I knew Sarah would start having a panic attack if I did."

"Shit!" Ulirch said. He then shook his head disbelief as Yumi looked on confused. "Yeah, that's the guy that Nick shot."

"What?" Yumi exclaimed. "Oh crap."

"Look, I know." Luke said. "Please, can you just… calm down until we talk to Walter?"

"I'm not the one you should be concerned with." Yumi said. "Walter and Matthew, they… they're very well acquainted to say the least."

"Shit! Dammit Nick!" Luke hissed. He sighed to recollect himself and continued, "Okay, I don't think Walter knows yet, so we're going to have to keep this quiet. I mean who knows what the hell he'd do if he found out." Luke said.

"No, we have to tell him what happened." Yumi said. "He may be angry and hurt, but that will be a far cry from him finding out while we knew the whole time and never told him."

"Yumi's right, Luke." Ulrich said. "Nick's going to need to know too."

"No, that's a bad idea." Luke said. "Last thing we need to do is let Nick know about this; he will freak out. And Walter, he won't be in any shape to be reasonable." Luke sighed and continued, "Now then do you still have that knife? Because if it was Matthew's, and Walter sees it, he's going to put two and two together."

"It's with the rest of my supplies." Ulrich said.

"Well, okay, go get rid of it and I'll try to run interference with Walter, and oh… keep an eye out for Nick." Luke said.

"I'm right here." Nick said as he approached the three. "What's up?"

"Oh, uh… nothing man, just wanted to see if you were okay." Luke said as he walked out from behind the column.

"Hey man, I'm fine." Nick said. A smirk found its way on his features and Nick asked, "Are you going to tuck me in too?"

"There is something you need to know." Ulrich said.

Luke shook his head at Ulrich as an indication that showing Nick the photo would be a bad idea. "Hey if there's something going on, I want to know." Nick said as his smirk disappeared.

"No, Nick just go off to bed." Luke insisted.

"So what? You don't trust me now?" Nick asked with a frown.

Ulrich looked down and handed the picture of Matthew and Walter to Nick. Nick took a look of the photo and his eyes widened in horror. "No, shit! Dammit!" Nick exclaimed.

"Shh… Nick shut the f*** up man!" Luke exclaimed.

"I-I can't man. I can't." Nick said as he continued to panic.

"Do not freaking blow it, Nick." Luke said.

"Blow it?" Nick inquired. "It's over. I have to tell him, Luke."

"WHAT, NO! You can't, Nick! Are you freaking nuts?" Luke asked.

"I have to. I can't live with that on me." Nick said.

"I agree. It's the right thing to do." Yumi said.

"Nick I'm warning you. This is suicide." Luke said.

"I'll live with that." Nick said and he walked away to find Walter.

Luke sighed and said, "Yumi, Ulrich, I need you to go do that thing I asked you to do, alright?"

The two nodded in response and they walked towards the stairs to retrieve the survival knife that Ulrich received earlier that day. He reached the bottom of the stairs and grabbed his harness and looked at a couple of areas where the knife could be secure.

"What the heck?" Ulrich said.

"What's wrong?" Yumi asked.

"That survival knife is nowhere on my harness." Ulrich said. "I don't carry around a backpack like the others since I could attach anything to my harness by tying a knot around it." Out of the corner of his eye, Ulrich saw Walter standing outside, looking over something that was in his hand. Ulrich gestured to the man outside.

In response, Yumi turned around and saw the man. "Oh crap, that doesn't look good." Yumi said.

"Yeah let's go talk to him." Ulrich said and he headed for the door.

The two walked outside somewhat frightened by the way Walter was acting. The atmosphere did little to ease the tenseness of the situation. The wind's howl was almost as horrible as a walker's. Additionally, the wind caused the turbine to pick up speed. Both Yumi and Ulrich approached Walter and could now see what Walter had in his hands. It was Matthew's knife!

"Walter…?" Yumi asked concerned for the kind man.

"I always liked this knife." Walter stated as he smoked a cigarette. He then unsheathed the blade and said, "I gave it to Matthew when all of this started. I know he's dead. Who did it? Was it that kid? What's his name… uh, Nick? Heard him talking earlier about shooting a man." Walter paused and said, "I could see it… I could see it on his face! I wasn't sure then… but now… I know what happened."

"It was us." Ulrich admitted as he lowered his head with a frown forming on his lips. "It was us who killed Matthew."

"Holy shit…" Walter said. "I don't feel good… Did Nick shoot Matthew?"

"Yes." Ulrich said.

In response to Ulrich's reply, Walter gripped the knife tighter. He huffed out some smoke from the cigarette and turned to the teens. He dropped the cigarette and stomped on it and asked, "Is Nick a good man? Or is he like everyone else?"

Ulrich looked up to Walter and said, "Nick's a good guy. He… He's just going through a rough time…" Ulrich paused for a second and then continued, "He lost his uncle just recently, the only family he had left." Walter looked back to the wind turbine as the door creaked open. Ulrich and Yumi looked over to see Nick at the door.

"He was always going out there alone." Walter explained. "I told him something like this would happen. But he wouldn't listen. No Matt always knew best."

"Walter…" Nick said as he approached with one hand extended to the man. "I'm so sorry for what happened to Matthew. H…H-He had a gun and I was afraid that he was going to hurt my friends. I'm sorry man, if I would have known, I would have never aimed my gun at him. I'm so sorry."

Walter looked to Nick tearfully and asked, "Do you have any idea what you have done to me? Do you have any idea?"

"I-I'm sorry, Walter. I really am." Nick said.

"Nick thought that Matthew meant us harm." Ulrich explained. "There's no doubt that he did something stupid… but his intentions were in the right place."

"Please Walter." Yumi said. "There's been enough pain and suffering for one day."

Walter looked down to the knife and examined it before tossing it aside.

Suddenly, the wind picked up and the turbine started to spin out of control. The noise caused by the turbine was quite loud which caused the four in the front of the ski lodge to look up at it. Everyone, except for Rebecca, Sarah, and Alvin walked outside and observed the turbine.

"Walt, what's going on?" Kenny asked. However, Walter didn't respond and instead looked down sadly as he continued to mourn the loss of Matthew. The wind picked up even more and Kenny looked over from the front of the ski lodge and said, "The storm's got it spinnin outta control. That sound's gonna draw walkers. We gotta shut it down now!"

Carlos turned to Nick and said, "Nick help me carry the guns." Nick nodded and the two went inside to retrieve any firearms that were in the ski lodge.

"Guns?" Sarita inquired.

"Here." Monroe said to Ulrich as he tossed his harness to him. "You'll need something to defend yourself with."

"Thanks." Ulrich said as he strapped the harness to his body.

"Here, Yumi." Aelita said as she and Clementine handed her the five knives that she left on the bench earlier to gain the trust of Luke's group. "I think Clem and I got them all."

"Thanks." Yumi said as she sheathed all of the knives.

Carlos and Nick returned with several guns in hand. Both Clementine and Aelita accepted handguns as Sarita and William accepted hunting rifles. "That damn thing's a dinner bell!" Kenny bellowed and he ran towards the wind turbine. Everyone followed him to the turbine as the wind continued to pick up speed.

Just as Kenny reached the control box, there was a loud explosion nearby. Everyone looked to where the sound of the explosion came from and Luke asked, "The hell was that?"

William looked over towards the ski lodge and saw all of the light shut off. "Must have been the transformer." William said.

"Dammit!" Kenny replied. "I gotta check it." Kenny then looked over his shoulder towards the group and said, "I could use a hand."

"I'll go with you." Luke said.

"I'm going too." Sarita added.

"No! It's too dangerous!" Kenny said. He then looked to the rest of the group and said, "The rest of you get this thing shut down." He then ran towards the blown transformer which must have been in the forest. Luke followed him as the rest of the group looked at the control box. Sarita opened it and looked inside to see all the switches and fuses.

"Does anyone know how to do this?" Carlos asked. He then looked to Sarita who only shrugged, which indicated that she had no clue on how to shut down the machine. "Great." Carlos scoffed.

"I can do it." William spoke up. "My dad used to be an engineer. I picked up some of his know-how."

"Okay, we'll watch your back." Carlos said. "Nick scan the trees with me." Carlos then walked over and joined Nick, leaving William to figure out the control box.

"I need some light to work with." William said. "I can't see a thing."

"Here." Clementine said as she brought out her zippo lighter to use as a light to make the switches and fuse visible.

"Perfect. Thanks Clem." William said. He then looked around the box until he found a key. William grabbed the key and placed it in the main switch and pressed it in. With that done, the turbine started to slow down until it came to a complete stop.

"Nice job, William." Aelita praised as Clementine closed up her lighter.

"Glad that you guys kept me around after all, huh?" William asked with a smirk. The remaining Lyoko Warriors nodded in response.

"Something ain't right." Nick said as he continued to scan the tree line. The sound of gurgled growling and snarls filled the air and soon everyone could hear the volume and frequency of the growls and snarls increase. It was as if the wind turbine was being surrounded by walkers.

"We don't have much ammunition." Carlos said as he raised his gun.

"Most of our ammunition is back at the lodge." William said as he raised his hunting rifle.

"Then we'll fight our way back to the lodge." Monroe said.

Suddenly, the growling intensified from behind the group and they turned to see walkers approaching them from the rear. "They're behind us!" Nick exclaimed. Carlos took aim with his handgun and shot a nearby walker. However, the walkers from behind proved to be persistent and continued towards the group.

Sarita, Nick, and Carlos shot from behind while Monroe, Yumi, and Ulrich ran at the walkers approaching the group at the front. All three wielded their melee weapons and attacked. Meanwhile, William stayed behind and aimed with the use of the hunting rifle. He fired at stray walkers while looking to the three former Lyoko Warriors to see if they would need any cover fire. Aelita stayed close to William but immediately went into action when a stray walker approached her and Clementine. Clementine gasped upon seeing the walker but was shielded from the creature by her older step-sister. Aelita shot the walker and she led Clementine toward the house.

Along the way, the two looked over to see Nick struggling with a herd of walkers. Nick quickly retreated from the herd since the herd's numbers had overwhelmed him. The herd soon picked up on the scent of the two children and turned towards them.

Aelita and Clementine raised their guns and started to shoot at the herd. One-by-one, the herd's numbers began to decrease. Each shot that Aelita fired was dead on and killed another walker. Clementine was less accurate due to having little experience at firing from a distance. She was a natural shot, but she lacked the experience. The Lyoko Warriors were very protective of her; they made sure that she could spend more time as a kid, rather than being a survivor.

Aelita and Clementine soon ran out of ammo as the two remaining walkers approached them. Aelita was decent with her knife skills but taking two walkers on at once would be too much. Aelita quickly shielded Clementine and looked around to find some form of assistance. She found it in William who had finished reloading. "William!" Aelita shouted.

William looked over to Aelita and saw her backpedaling from a couple of walkers with Clementine behind her. William took aim with the rifle and shot the two walkers. "Okay, you're good!" William shouted back. However, a walker tried to grab William from behind, but its grip was loose and William easily shook it off. He quickly shot his hunting rifle again to kill the walker. He then got up and ran towards the cabin.

Aelita and Clementine ran from the scene to follow William, but lost sight of him. The next thing they knew, Aelita and Clementine heard a very familiar voice. "Somebody help me!" It was Nick. The two went in the direction of the young man's cries and saw that he was struggling with a walker.

"Nick!" Clementine exclaimed as the two girls watched on helplessly. Neither could do a thing. They were both out of ammunition. Aelita and Clementine then noticed Walter behind Nick with his handgun aimed at the walker; however, he never got the chance to shoot it.

"Walter, watch out!" Aelita exclaimed as she noticed a walker limping towards the man. Walter turned around to fire at the approaching walker, but it was too late. The walker pushed him to the ground and was now trying to bite him. Aelita and Clementine ran over to help Walter as the walker continued in its attempt to eat the man.

Thankfully, the walker soon stopped as a halberd hit the back of its skull. It fell limp as Walter huffed in relief. Monroe yanked the walker off of Walter and retrieved his weapon.

"Are you alright?" Aelita asked Walter.

"I think so." Walter replied. Walter looked to Monroe who was looking to where Nick was. "Thank you." Walter said. "You saved my life."

Monroe didn't respond and merely walked over toward another walker which appeared to be eating something. In one quick thrust, Monroe killed the walker and looked down to what the creature was eating. Walter, Aelita, and Clementine joined alongside him and were saddened to see Nick. His neck was ripped open, and he was obviously choking on his own blood. His torso was also ripped open with his intestine scattered about. Monroe sighed and said, "Get out of here. I got to make sure he doesn't come back."

The three nodded and Walter led the way back for Aelita and Clementine. Meanwhile, Monroe huffed as he pulled out his revolver. Without another moment's hesitation, Monroe shot Nick.

Meanwhile, Clementine and Aelita followed Walter and the three regrouped with Carlos, Sarita, and William. "Where's Nick?" Carlos asked.

"I…I tried to help him." Walter said with a frown in his features.

"Great…" Carlos muttered as he shot another walker.

"There's too many." William said. "Clem, Aelita… get inside, go!" The two complied and raced for the entrance of the ski lodge while Carlos, William, and Walter shot at the remaining walkers. Aelita and Clementine neared the entrance of the ski lodge but were cut off by a couple of walkers. Aelita aimed with her handgun, but it was no use. She was out of ammunition.

Suddenly, two knives flew past Aelita and Clementine and into the walkers' skulls. They both fell limp to the ground as the two heard footsteps from behind. They both turned to see Yumi approaching them. "Glad you're here." Aelita said.

"This reminds me of the old days." Yumi said.

"Where's Ulrich?" Aelita asked.

"He and Monroe regrouped with the others." Yumi replied. "Go and get inside. I'll make sure nothing gets passed me."

"Will you be okay?" Clementine asked.

"You know it." Yumi said as she drew her last two knives. She turned around and got into a fighting stance as Aelita led Clementine inside.

They ran inside and went up the stairs to the main floor. "Clementine, Aelita, are you both alright?" Rebecca asked upon seeing the two children. The two ran up to Rebecca worriedly as automatic gunfire could be heard from outside.

"What the hell…?" Alvin asked. The four inside the ski lodge approached the large window to observe outside as more automatic gunfire erupted. Walkers fell left and right, and before any of the survivors knew it, the horde of walkers were dead. However, a threat far worse than the walkers came towards the group.

A man headed towards the group with three other people holding assault rifles. "Howdy folks." The man said with a smirk as his compatriots surrounded the group outside.

"Carver…" Rebecca said frighteningly.

Carver approached Carlos and asked, "Where's Rebecca?" In response, Carlos spat in his face. Carver wiped the saliva off of his face and said, "Nice to see you too." He then punched Carlos as hard as he could.

Carlos yelped upon impact, but regained his footing. "Dad!" Sarah exclaimed and she ran out of the ski lodge to his aid.

"Sarah!" Rebecca called after the teenage girl, but it was too late. Sarah ran to her father and hugged him. Carver smirked as he looked to the ski lodge.

Carver turned to the group and said, "Relieve them of their weapons."

"Alright, give me your damn weapons." One of the guards spat.

"What's wrong, Troy?" Monroe asked with a searing glare aimed at the man. "You still sore about me beating you nearly to death?"

With that, the guard, Troy immediately hit the teenager with a quick punch to the face. Everyone within the group shared a scrunched up face from watching the teen get hit except for Carlos who only smirked. He wished he could hit Monroe like that and could get away with it. "I'll put you in your place, boy." Troy said.

Monroe merely shrugged off the hit and got up. "You've gotten soft, Troy. You hit like a pansy."

"F*** you!" Troy exclaimed.

"Hey enough!" Carver exclaimed. "Disarm them, NOW." Troy grumbled in response, but he had to follow orders. Carver didn't tolerate insubordination. He and the other guard relieved the group of their remaining weapons and waited for Carver's next set of orders.

"Inside." Carver commanded his group. They obliged and aimed their weapons towards the group to move. They obliged but then one of the members in Carver's group went up to Walter and he recognized her. It was the same woman that he helped out earlier and gave some supplies to. "It's you!" Walter exclaimed.

The woman, Bonnie, looked down sadly. She knew that she wasn't doing the right thing, but still said, "Keep moving."

With that, they all started to move for the ski lodge. Rebecca, Alvin, Aelita, and Clementine started to move. They headed for the stairs to get to the second story. They reached the top of the stairs and stayed hidden as the rest of the group was tied up. Yumi was now with them with an obvious scowl. She hated the situation that the group was in.

The guards escorted the captured members to the wall adjacent to the decorated Christmas tree as Bonnie remarked, "Look at this place."

"It's freaking huge." One of the guards said. "Bill's going to hate it." He then looked towards Bonnie and said, "I think this place had electricity."

"Hah, you sound surprised." Bonnie said. She looked to the large windows with a worried stare and said, "Johnny cover that window." The said guard nodded and went to the window as Bonnie walked over to keep an eye on the captured members

Meanwhile, Aelita watched on with uneasiness. She didn't like what she was seeing. Her group, her friends, her family were all tied up as a madman and three guards kept watch over them with very powerful weapons. She quickly ducked for cover as the madman, Carver turned to the second story.

Carver growled upon not seeing anyone else from the group that abandoned his settlement and grabbed Carlos by his arm. He dragged him to the front of the group and gave him a quick punch to his stomach. He groaned in pain as he fell to the ground. "Dad!" Sarah exclaimed.

"I'm only going to ask you once. Where is Rebecca?" Carver said.

Carlos looked to Sarah and said, "Sarah look at me. It's going to be okay." Suddenly Carlos was pulled back by his hair by Carver. Carver then grabbed one of his hands and pulled back a finger to where it was broken.

Carlos screamed in pain as Sarah looked on in horror. She tried to get free from her restraints but to no avail.

"Rebecca?" Carver shouted. "Rebecca, our baby deserves to be raised in a place of safety. I know you are out there, with Alvin, Luke and the girl." Carver then released Carlos from his grip and to which Carlos whined in pain from the newly broken digit. "This is real simple. If you want this over quick you all play nice and show your faces."

"Dad!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Take it easy, Carver." Monroe said in a vain attempt to stop the madman from doing something brash.

A couple minutes ticked by as Carver impatiently waited for the remaining survivors to reveal themselves. "Still no, huh?" Carver inquired. "Very well." Suddenly, the madman pulled out his revolver and shot Carlos in the head. The man hit the ground with a thud as Sarah screamed out in horror. "NNNOOOO…!"

"Oh, f***!" William exclaimed.

"F****** shit!" Ulrich exclaimed.

Carlos was dead much to Sarah's dismay and the group's horror. Even Bonnie and Johnny were horrified by what they saw.

"Are you going to come out now?" Carver inquired. "Or do we need to keep going down the line?" There was no response which made Carver turn to Troy. "Get me, Monroe."

Troy smirked and he walked over to grab the teenager. He grunted as he was dragged to his feet and pushed towards the psychotic man.

"NO… please, don't hurt him!" Sarah pleaded.

Carver delivered a quick punch to the teenager's face which made him grunt in pain. "This is your last warning. Come out, NOW." Carver said.

"Is that all you got?" Monroe inquired as he groaned in pain.

"Not even close." Carver said with a smirk. He drew handgun again and aimed at Monroe's head.

"Bill stop!" Rebecca shouted from the top floor.

Carver looked up to the second floor and smirked. "Ah." He said and he placed his revolver in its holster. William, Yumi, and Ulrich sighed in relief as Aelita and Clementine rushed towards their brother.

"Are you okay?" Aelita asked.

"I've been through worse." Monroe said as he smiled to the two to assure them that he was alright.

Suddenly, Troy grabbed Aelita from the back of her neck which made her yelp. "Well now, I knew that you'd be a pretty thing, but I'm stunned." Troy said with an evil grin. He released his grip on her neck and his hand stroked her face which made her shiver. It was quite creepy.

"Let go of my sister!" Monroe exclaimed.

Troy glared at the teenager but turned back to Aelita. "Tell me, how on Earth are you related to that asshole?" Troy then made the big mistake of letting his hand go down to Aelita's thigh, which made her knee the guard in the privates. "OHHHH!" Troy cried out in pain as he fell to the ground. He gasped for air as Bonnie walked over and placed Aelita and Clementine in bindings.

"You deserved that, Troy." Bonnie said as she escorted the three family members over to the rest of the group.

Sarah looked to Monroe with tearful eyes and asked, "Are you-Are you okay?"

"I'm fine…" Monroe said. "I'm sorry about your father."

"Don't be. He wasn't very nice to you." Sarah said. "I'll miss him, but these last couple of years were horrible because of him."

Monroe looked to Carlos's body before he turned back to Sarah. "What are you going to do now?" Monroe asked.

"I'm with you, all the way… We'll both figure something out." Sarah said with a smile. Monroe returned the smile. The group watched on and were thankful to see that some good came out of the situation.

Suddenly a gunshot sounded and busted through the glass window. The shot went straight through Johnny's skull, and he landed on the ground dead.

"Kenny…!" Sarita said somewhat worriedly.

Carver, Troy, and Bonnie quickly went into action. They raised their guns up towards the group to prevent them from getting excited. "Don't move!" Bonnie barked. The three then took cover behind a couple of columns and tried to see who the mystery marksmen could be. However, the storm and dark night made it impossible for them to make out anything. "I can't see them!" Bonnie exclaimed.

"Watch them." Carver commanded and he went to Walter. He grabbed the man and placed him in a chokehold. Walter grunted as he tried to breathe as Carver kept pushing him forward. Carver then pushed him to the ground and fired point-blank into Walter's skull.

"Holy shit!" Ulrich exclaimed.

"Not good!" William exclaimed.

"Walter!" Aelita exclaimed.

"That was for our man!" Carver shouted to the mystery sniper. "Now I didn't want to do that, but you ain't leaving me much options. So here's what's going to happen. I'm going to march another one of your friends out here and I'm going to put a bullet in the back of their head. Or you can give up now, your choice."

Suddenly another shot was fired which hit the column that Carver was hiding behind. Carver merely shrugged and went up to Alvin. "Hi, Alvin." Carver said as he dragged the man to his feet.

"You motherf*****." Alvin spat.

"Alvin!" Rebecca exclaimed as she tried to stop Carver, but she was stopped by Troy who aimed his gun at her. "Bill no! Tell him to stop!" Rebecca shouted. "Kenny stop!"

"This is getting out of hand!" Yumi exclaimed.

Carver ignored both and kept his gun to Alvin's head. "You remember George, Alvin? You see, I do. I remember a guy who was your friend named George. I remember when you murdered him in cold blood. And why? Because you didn't like me?" Carver then stopped walking and continued as he kept his revolver aimed at Alvin's temple. "You could have lodged a complaint. You could have… well you could have been civil about it."

"Bill no! We'll do whatever you want!" Rebecca pleaded.

Alvin turned to Rebecca and said, "I love you, Bec."

"BILL PLEASE!" Rebecca exclaimed.

"Kenny, Luke, don't shoot!" Clementine shouted, but it was too late. The madman fired his shot despite the fact that Kenny or Luke could have been surrendering. Alvin's body hit the ground with a thud.

"ALVIN!" Rebecca exclaimed. Her legs became weak and she dropped on her knees with a tearful stare aimed at the corpse of her husband.

"Bill, please, you have to calm down." Bonnie pleaded.

"Is this really what you wanted for us, Bonnie?" Ulrich exclaimed. "Is this what's best? For us to get murdered one-by-one!"

"No Ulrich, I didn't mean for this to happen! I didn't!" Bonnie exclaimed with evident fear in her eyes.

Carver adjusted his gaze to Clementine and walked over to her next. "I guess I'm going to use you next." Carver said as he picked her up.

"NO! Please leave her alone!" Aelita exclaimed as she tried to break free from her bindings, but like Sarah, it was no use.

Clementine squirmed in the man's arms as he raised the handgun to her head next. Suddenly, the doors to the ski lodge opened and everyone looked over to see Kenny huffing as he raised his hands in surrender. He must have ran for the door to surrender when Carver had gotten Alvin, but Carver acted before Kenny could even think.

Bonnie went over and tied him up. "Move." Bonnie hissed as she shoved him to join the others.

"I now know whose side you're on. I trusted you… Walter trusted you. And look where that got him…" His words were like venom to Bonnie. She was remorseful for her actions. "Oh no…" Kenny said as he looked over to Alvin. His eyes widened in horror and his facial expressions read remorse. He was pushed forward by Bonnie, and he took Walter's spot.

"Where's Luke?" Carver inquired. No one answered as Carver continued, "Finally cut and run, huh? Why am I not surprised?" Carver then approached Monroe and said, "I warned you. I warned you not to follow him. And look where he's led you." Carver walked away from the group and looked towards the front door. He looked over the living conditions of the ski lodge and hummed in disappointment. He then turned back to the group and said, "But you're safe now." Carver said as he approached Rebecca. "We're going home now, as a family." Carver eyed the bulge of Rebecca stomach which was her baby. However, Rebecca was still saddened by Alvin's death and she looked away from the madman.

"Alright. Round them up." Carver said to Troy and Bonnie. "We're heading back to camp." With that, one-by-one, each person from the group was hoisted up and forced to leave and soon all that was left in the ski lodge was Walter's, Carlos's, and Alvin's bodies.

…To be Continued.
