𝗗𝗔𝗪𝗡 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗚𝗢𝗡𝗘. The group had buried the body's and burned the corpses. Losing people was something that every person is prepared for the moment they come into this world.
It's inevitable.
But this isn't how it was supposed to work. Your meant to live your life to the fullest then die. It's the life cycle. Now it's all bullshit. You survive, you don't get to live anymore. Nothing and no one is safe anymore. Only them and the dead.
Jim; one of their own, had been bit.
Why did life fucking suck? That was Hallie Walsh's question to whatever higher being that was up there looking down in them with its pity laugh. She felt sympathy to the lives that were lost last night, and sympathy to the kin that were left to deal with lifetime of pain—how ever long that may be.
Hallie was snapped out of her thoughts when a hand was pressed onto her shoulder lightly. "Hey kid, you alright?" Rick. It was just Rick.
Nodding, Hallie swallowed "mhm" she mustered up as she stood up brushing her pants off. "You can talk to me you know? I may be old but my ears still work fine" Rick said with a soft smile on his face, tapping his ear.
"I know, rick. Thank you"
"C'mon,Halls' " Rick said as he patted her shoulder, the two making their way over to Lori and Shane.
"I guess I'll just add it to the list of habits that I'm breaking whether I like it or not" Shane said, a calm aggression underlined his tone.
"What habits?" Rick asked making himself and the blonde known.
"Just talking about my need for a plan man. So what's it? Are we leaving or not? Maybe y'all just want to stay here, we can hang some more tin cans" Shane changed the subject quickly, causing Hallie to raise her eyebrow.
"We can't stay here. We both know that" Rick said as he looked Shane in the eye.
"I was just telling Shane I think we should trust your gut" Lori inputted, backing up Shane's lie.
"Let's go do our sweep. Pack up your things, sweetheart" Shane said, patting Hallie on the shoulder.
"Somethings different between them" Hallie whispered as she stood next to Lori.
"That's not something you should be worrying about, Hallie" The older woman smiled softly.
Hallie opened her mouth, going to say something before quickly shutting it. "What is it, honey?" Lori asked, she looked worried as Hallie never had a problem expressing herself or anything she had wanted to say.
Gulping, Hallie looked at the ground slowly looking at Lori, "do you think my moms alive?" She broke out. Her voice was quiet, as if talking about Jannette was a sin.
