under the willow tree - glenn rhee

part 8

"how about you, man you going to protect yours?" shane questioned as he offered glenn a gun, nudging his head towards marcella as he said 'yours'.

glenn looked to marcella, clearly not knowing what to do as he stood there.

marcella gave glenn the same look he gave her- they both didn't know what to do. glenn grabbed the gun, reluctantly as maggie stood with the two.

"that's it. marcella?" shane then offered the girl a gun. "come on, you've proved yourself to be a good enough shot." shane complimented, although only to get his own way.

marcella sighed, taking the gun as she gave shane a look of hatred and warning. "i'm only taking this because i'm worried for the group- i'm worried because your gonna fuck everything up." the brunette spat at shane.

"everythings already fucked up, princess, i'm just trying do something about it." shane laughed bitterly.

glenn immediately stepped in front of marcella, anger president on his face. "hey man, don't call her that." he told shane.

shane laughed even more. "i see the princess got herself a prince." shane then turned to maggie. "can you shoot?"

"can you stop? you do this, you handout these guns, my dad will make you leave tonight." maggie denied.

"we have to stay, shane." carl chimed in.

"what is this?" lori stormed towards shane, having missed a lot of the conversation.

"we ain't going anywhere, okay?" shane assured carl, then going back to speaking to the group. " now look, hershel. he's just gotta understand, okay? well, he's going to have to. and we need to find sophia, am I right?" shane then bent down to carl's height. "huh? now i want you to take this. you take it carl, and you keep your mother safe. you do whatever it takes. you know how. go on, take the gun and do it." shane tried to encourage carl, however marcella wasn't about to let this happen.
