My Crossbow

Chapter 9

I head inside to find Darren and Rachel to tell them what was happening.

"Remember you two stick together. Head to the bus and keep safe." I tell them.

"Why is he back? I thought we were safe?" Rachel says in fear. "I don't like him."

"I know sweetie." I kiss the top of her head. "Lets go outside, stay close." We head back outside and grab some guns.

"Ye' good?" Daryl says to Beth, she was stood watching in fear.

"Yeah." She says, right now I just want to hug her but I can't. Not when we need to get ready to fight just in case, Daryl starts passing guns out to those who were outside.

"I'm scared." Rachel speaks as she looks to her gun.

"It's going to be okay. We'll all stick together, nothings gonna happen Rach." Darren assures her as he points a gun at the Governor and his people.

"Do you remember how to use the gun Rach?" I ask, as much as I didn't want her using a gun, she needs to protect herself somehow.

"Yeah. I remember." The rest of us point our guns at them too.

"We've got to do something." Carl states, he sounds like his dad.

"Yer dads got it." Daryl tells him.

"They're talking. We could kill the Governor right now." 

"From 50 yards." 

"I'm a good shot. I could end this right now." 

"Yeah or ye' could start sumthin' else."

"If we had a sniper I could kill the guys in the tank and the Governor." I admit, Daryl gives me a look.

"Megs! Yer not helpin'."

"I'm just saying."

"Ye' got to trust him."

"I trust Rick, just not the Governor."

"No!" Beth and Maggie sob lightly as the Governor hold a sword to Hershel's neck.

"Daryl. Let me kill him right now."

"Wait. Ye' know we can't." Before anything else could happen, Hershel's  head was now on the ground. No longer attached to his body, no body had time to react as bullets soon start shooting everywhere.

"Darren watch out for Rachel!" I yell as I shoot one of the enemies, everyone was running around trying to get cover and stay alive.

"Mom!" Rachel yells, I see her duck for cover as Darren shoots back at someone. A tank soon starts making its way towards us, we have no choice but to back up.

"Darren take Rach an' get safe now! Get te' the bus, go!" Daryl yells to them as he gets to my side, Darren does as he's told.

"Daryl, we can't do this much longer." I say to him.

"we can do it. When yer out of ammo, ye' need te' get on the bus." I run behind a barrel.

"Not without you!" Before he could reply a walker grabs a hold of him. "Daryl!" He sticks a pole in its head and uses it as a shield so he doesn't get shot, he throws a grenade. I look to where the bus should be but it's now gone. "Daryl! The bus, it's gone. They're gone." I yell as I kill a walker he throws a grenade inside a tank which makes a guy quickly jump out. Unlucky for him because Daryl kills him, Beth runs to me. "Beth are you okay?" She hugs me. "It's okay."

"I was trying to find the kids to get them on the bus." She panics.

"We gotta go. Beth, Megs. We gotta go." We quickly run off form the prison, once we get far enough away we turn to the now burning and walker infested prison.
