avery dixon // the walking dead

1 - the fire

everyone is sat by the fire, avery is sat next to dale, on a camping chair. "ive got to ask you man, its been driving me crazy" morales says to dale. "what" dale slightly giggles. "that watch", morales exclames. "whats wrong with my watch", dale says looking down at his watch. "i see you, every day, same time, winding that thing like a village priest saying mass up" morales says while everyone agrees. "ive wondered this myself", jacqui speaks up.

"im missing the point", dale says. "unless i've missread the signs, the world seems to have come to an end, atleast hit a spead bump for a good long while", jacqui jokes. "everyday, winding that stupid watch", morales speaks. "time, its important to keep track of time, isnt it, the days atleast, dont you think, andrea back me up here", he says making andrea giggle slightly, while sipping her beer.

"i like, i like what father said to son when he gave him a watch, that had been handed down through generations, he said, i give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire which will fit your indivitual needs no better than it did mine or my fathers before me, i give it to you not that you may remember time but that you may forget it, for a moment now and then, and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it", he says making everyone go silent.

"you are so wierd", amy says, making everyone laugh. you giggle under your breath. "its not me, its faulkner, william faulkner", he says getting a sarcastic nod from amy. "may be my bad paraphrasing", he says, joking back. amy stands up. "where are you going", andrea says to her sister. "i have to pee, geez try to be descreet around here", she says making everyone laugh.

"i thought i told you all to leave me the hell alone", ed says from in his tent, he opens his tent to find a walker, "oh", he says in fear.

"where out of toilet paper", amy says coming out dales trailer. next thing you know we all hear amy screaming. we all turn around to see amy getting bit by a walker. your eyes widen in shock as your body goes stiff. everyone stands up, people are running. "mom, mom", carl screams. you dont know what to do. you stand up and try to stay calm. "everybody get down", shane says, cocking his gun.

rick, daryl, glenn and tdog get back from trying to find merle, my brother. "oh god", rick says while they all cock there guns. your mind goes blank as all you can hear is screaming and gun fire.

its now daytime and all the walkers are dead, but not all of them were walkers, alot of them were our people.

"are you bleeding", jacqui says to jim. "i just got some on me from the bodies", jim lies. "that bloods fresh, were you bit", jacqui asks. "no, i got scratched during the attack", jim says. "you got bit?", jacqui questions. "im fine", jim says back. "then show me", jacqui says a bit louder but still quiet enough for nobody to here. "dont tell them, please", jim pleads. "a walker got him, a walker got jim", jacqui says making everyone stop what they were doing.

"show it to us, show it to us", daryl says picking up an axe for safety. jim picks up a shovel, knowing this won't end well. tdog gets behind him and holds him so daryl can see the bite. "im okay, im okay, im okay", jim repeats. everyone stands there in shock.

-----------

everyones debating on what to do to jim. "someone put a pick-axe in his head, and the dead girls would be done with it", daryl says. "is that what you want, if it were you", shane says back. "yeah, id thank you while you did it", daryl says.

you, carl and sophia are playing in the woods. your all laughing and playing around. "tig", you hear sophia say as her hand touches your back. you turn around and go after carl. your running as fast as you can until your trip on a stick. you hit your head on a rock, as everything turns black.

you wake up and look at your suroundings. your in dales rv, layed down on a small mattress. you look outside and see that its night. "your awake", you hear someone say from the other room. you look to were the voice came from to see dale. "what happened", you ask confused. "you hit your head pretty hard, you should get some rest", dale says, looking up from his watch. "how long was i out for", you ask sitting up a little.

"hey another damn tree", jim laughs as shane places him next to a tree. jim decided that he didnt want to go to cdc and to leave him. "hey jim, you know it dont have to be this", shane says. "thats good, the brease feels nice", jim says looking up at the tree. everyone says there goodbyes and gets back in dales rv. you look out the window and watch jim as rick drives away. everyone arrives at cdc and gets out the van. you hear flies buzzing as you look around and find nothing but dead walkers. everyone coughs as they make there way to the building. "keep moving, stay together", rick says as we become closer to the building.

rick tries to open the door but its locked, shane tries pounding on the door. "theres nobody here", tdog says. "then why are these shutters down", rick disagrees. "you led us into a graveyard", daryl shouts at rick. "he made a call", dale says, sticking up for rick. "it was the wrong damn call", daryl shouts back. "just shut up, you hear me shut up", shane yells at daryl. "rick this is a dead end, do you hear me, no blame", shane says. "hes right, we cant be this close to the city after dark", lori agrees. "fort benning, rick its still an option", shane says. "on what, no food, no fuel, thats 100 miles", andrea argues back.

"125, i checked the map", glenn jokes. "forget fort benning, we need answers tonight, now", lori says, clearly panicking. "we'll think, of something", rick tells lori. "come on lets go", glenn says. "lets go, please", glenn begs. rick sees the camera move. "the camera, it moved", rick says making everyone stop. "you imagined it", dale says reasuringly. "it moved", rick repeats. everyones yelling things to the point where you can't even understand what there saying. "i know your in there, i know you can hear me", rick says through to the camera. shanes trying to get rick to leave. "your killing us, your killing us", rick yells at the camera.

and suddenly, the door opens.
