The lodge was quiet—too quiet. Outside, the rest of our group held the gates against the infected, their shouts and gunfire echoing faintly through the night. Inside, the warmth of the fireplace barely kept the chill at bay.

Joel, Tommy, and I had just entered. Tommy’s nervous energy filled the room as he introduced himself and thanked us for our help and hospitality. Joel spoke next, his voice calm but wary, and I felt a tension coil tighter in my chest. The air shifted when he gave his name.

I didn’t wait. My fingers tightened on the shotgun, aim steady. Joel’s eyes widened as I pulled the trigger, and the kick sent him stumbling. He went down, blood blooming across his leg. Tommy tried to intervene, but the others were faster—they had him pinned before he could even scream.

Joel’s voice cut through the chaos. “Who are you?”

I stepped closer, my gaze cold, controlled. “Guess,” I said.

He scoffed, shaking his head. “No. Make your speech. Get this over with.”

I gestured sharply. “Mel! Tourniquet his leg.”

She moved quickly, wrapping fabric tightly around Joel’s wound. My hand went to the golf club leaning against the wall. It felt heavy in my grip, a familiar weight. I stepped forward, and the violence began.

The first blow cracked the silence, sending blood and bone echoing through the lodge. Joel grunted, tried to resist, but exhaustion and surprise weighed against him. The swings were relentless, a reckoning that had been years in the making.

Then, a commotion at the door.

You burst in, rage and desperation blazing from your eyes, but Nora and Nick were faster. They forced you down, pinning you struggle against the floor. Your cries were sharp, desperate.

Owen’s voice cut through the chaos. “Abby! End it. We need to move before more from Jackson come looking for us.”

I ignored You, ignored the pleading. Joel’s life, the weight of all the years, everything he had taken, everything I had lost—this was the moment.

The final strike came, the club smashing down with the force of every memory, every grief, every rage I had carried. Joel was gone.

Around me, voices argued about what to do with You and Tommy. Owen’s word carried, firm and decisive. They would live. My eyes followed as you went limp in their grip, unconscious. Tommy struggled slightly before the sedative or fear overwhelmed him.

The lodge was quiet again, but it was a hollow quiet. Joel was dead. You and Tommy were down.

I stood alone for a moment, the golf club slick in my hands, staring at the fireplace’s weak glow. Outside, the wind carried faint echoes of the infected—relentless, unyielding. And inside, there was only the silence that came after vengeance was finally done.

I exhaled, slow and measured, and let the weight settle across my shoulders. Then i spoke.

“Let's go guys before someone sees us.” I walk off the others followed me leaving the room.
