ACT ONE
(overrun)

      THE GROUP looked towards the field in awe.
They watched as more and more walkers headed directly towards their house, causing fear to grow in everyone's chest.

The silence that they shared wasn't awkward, seeing as everyone was far too scared to even come up with something to say.

That was until Hershel spoke up. "Patricia,
kill the lights."

Patricia nodded and rushed inside while Andrea followed, going to get the guns. "Maybe they're just passing like the herd on the highway. Should we just go inside?"

"Not unless theres a tunnel downstairs I don't know about. A herd that size would rip the house down."Daryl kept his eyes trained on the herd approaching.

Veroníca nervously shook her hands, her nerves only worsening when Lori came back outside. "Carl's gone. He—He was upstairs. I can't find him anymore."

"Maybe he's hiding?" Glenn suggested making Lori grow increasingly upset.

"He's supposed to be upstairs. I'm not leaving without my boy."

"We're not.. We're gonna look again, we're gonna find him." Carol insisted as she pulled Lori back inside.

As soon as those two mothers went inside, Andrea came back out with the bag of guns. She then began passing them out.

"I got the number—it's no use."

"You can go if you want." Hershel replied, cocking his gun.

"You gonna take 'em all on?"

"We have guns. We have cars." Hershel answered, staring at Daryl as Andrea added on. "Kill as many as we can. Then we'll use the cars to lead the rest of them off the farm."

"That sounds like a very unsafe plan." Veroníca said, her voice still hoarse as she picked up a gun.

"It's my farm. I'll die here." Hershel replied, beginning to walk off the porch.

"It's a good a night as any." Daryl caved, hopping over the fence.

Veroníca then turned to Rory, who was nervously pulling at his curls. "Rory, go help look for Carl inside okay?—Stay with Lori. I mean it."

Rory nodded, pulling his mom into a hug as she kissed his head.

As the boy anxiously ran inside, Veroníca turned to Aiden. "Should we pair up?"

Aiden looked around the group outside before listing out pairs while everyone on the porch listened. "Jimmy, take the R.V. Glenn, Veroníca you take the green car. Andrea, T-dog you take the truck. I'll stay here and help Hershel."

The group nodded while Maggie added on. "I'll help them find Carl." The group nodded again, this time splitting up immediately after.

Veroníca pointed her shotgun out the window, while Glenn drove. The man wasn't the best driver, making the car continue to bounce while the woman shot at the walkers.

"Can you make a circle?" Veroníca said, her throat aching which she ignored as Glenn nodded.

He then quickly did a U-turn, causing Veroníca to sit halfway out of the car as she continued to shoot.

She paused for a second, shaking her head as the shotgun ran out of ammo. She quickly repositioned herself inside the car, refilling the shotgun before taking her previous position.
