the battery is discharged and probably ruined. alternator is likely failed, and/or the voltage-regulator. these things are fairly easy to test - most shops will do the test for free.
my alternator shows 13.8 and then voltage drops when let off throttle to come to stop sign. Then its momentary fighting to hold idle. Thank you for your help. sad too say hard to guess without a scanner
