┏━━━━━━━━━━┓ chapter eight: bloody red ┗━━━━━━━━━━┛
CAROL THRASHED OUT OF DARYL'S HOLD, RUNNING BACK TO THE CAMP. Beth sobbed as she walked up to what used to be her mother. The walker grabbed Beth's ponytail, causing Mal, Rick, Glenn and Shane to rush to her, pulling her off the walker. Hershel covered her face as T-Dog bashed its head in.
The Greene family began to walk to their house, and Shane followed them, yelling. "We've been our. We've been combing these woods looking for her and she was in there all along? You knew."
Rick, Glenn, and Mal followed him, making sure he didn't do anything crazy.
"Leave us alone." Maggie demanded, Shane didn't listen.
"Hey, Shane, just stop, man." Rick pleaded.
"Get your hands off me." Shane swatted him away. "You knew and you kept it from us."
"I didn't know." Was all Hershel said.
"That's bullshit. I think y'all knew."
"We didn't know!" Maggie exclaimed.
"Why was she there?!"
"Otis put those people in the barn." Hershel said. "Maybe he found her and put her in there before he was killed."
"You expect me to believe that? Do I look like an idiot?"
"I don't care what you believe!"
Rick stepped between the two. "Everybody just calm down."
"Get him off my land!" Hershel demanded.
Shane got in his face, "let me tell you something."
She led Beth and Patricia into the house. Hershel almost joined them, but he turned back to Rick. "I mean it — off my land."
Mal left Shane and Rick outside as she went into the house, and Maggie stood facing the opposite direction of the door. "I have to ask you — did you know she was in the barn?"
Maggie only walked up to her and sat on a the couch.
"Maybe it's for the best, in some twisted way." Mal shook her head. "Maybe now we can, I don't know, move on?"
