When Chaos Rises

Chapter 95: The Barn and the Dead.

FALL YEAR 1
GREENE FARM GEORGIA
WYNTER'S POV:

I went and spoke with both Patricia and Hershel. Offering my condolences for the loss of their friend and husband. They told me they were going to do a service for him. I asked where they wished to have him symbolically buried. They told me and I nodded. I would give Patricia something to comfort her.
I went to the spot and with the use of my magic built a carin, making sure it would never fall with magic.

When the others came out for the funeral, I kept my head bowed. After Hershel finished I asked to say something. They agreed. I smiled and held a hand out to Patricia to join me when she did I waved my hand at the carin. When you looked through the hole you saw a hologram of Otis.

She gasped and cried a little then I called for Life, "Life"
Life appeared at my side.
"You called my Mistress?"
"This woman's husband, Otis, make sure he either finds peace to await his loved ones or is reborn into a happy safe life. He died for a child he deserves the respect."
Life bowed their head and disappeared.
I looked to Patricia, threw the tears in her eyes was gratitude. "I can not give him back to you, but I can make sure he is remembered here and happy in what comes next."
She hugged and thanked me then asked Shane to tell of his last words and moments. It killed me to allow that man to lie through his teeth. I glared at him the whole time. My mates tried comforting me but once the service was done I walked off.
I was by the fence when Rick joined me.
"Lori says she is pregnant." Was all he said at first then looked to me. "I remember by the way. I want to join you and our mates, but how can I leave her pregnant and alone with my child?"
I shook my head, before I could say anything our other mates joined us. Damon being Damon ripped the band-aid off, "Are you sure the baby is yours?"
Nick added to it, "Not to hurt you, because it hurts us to do so, but she and Shane have been together for months now mate."
Rick sighed, "I though as much, but it's not like we can go for a paternity test."
"You don't have to we have magic it would show us who the father is if you wish Rick. But knowing her she will still insist it is yours and that our magic is a lie."I said softly. "You need to decide for you. I will tell you this regardless we will be waiting on your choice and as for Lori and Shane, I can do nothing for either, they both have fates coming for them. They laid their paths and will meet the end of it soon. If you wish we will wait till that day for you."
"They both die?"
"Yes, I will not lie. Shane before we leave the farm and Lori come spring. If I could change things for you or even so Carl did not have to loose a loved one I would, even with my dislike for them, but Primal does not allow such for some people."
He nodded and thanked me kissing my forehead and gripping each of the guys shoulder before walking off.
I looked to my mates, "When Shane dies I am making sure he suffers in his after life. Maybe Lori as well." I growled the pain. Shane and Lori bring to Rick infuriates me. My mates nodded in agreement as Nick wrapped his arms around me.

As I was talking with Hershel while we walked, we stopped under an oak. I looked to him and asked to show him something. He agreed and I looked into his eyes and showed him the truth of the walkers that there was no way back. I even showed him Primal telling us about them.
When I finished I looked to him. "I know about the barn allow me to put your family and friends to rest peacefully."
He stayed silent his head bowed deep in thought. As he lifted it to answer me we heard shouting and arguing. Quickly moving we saw Shane headed to the barn armed a few of the others had their weapons as well. Jeremy had a bloody nose which angered me. We reached the group. "What is the meaning of this?" Both Hershel and I asked.
Nick started to say, "Shane has decided to arm everyone and clear the barn of walkers...."
Shane interrupted him running his mouth about it not being right and such and how people need to learn, before I had a chance to say anything he shot the lock off the barn. The dead began to come out, the first being Hershel's wife Shane shot her quickly. Everyone went to line up and I moved quickly in front of them growling as I raised my hands and sent out a massive neon green wave of magic not bothering to say the words Avada Kedava, I killed them quickly and peacefully then summoned death. "Make sure their souls find peace"
I looked to Hershel, "I must burn the bodies but I will gather the ashes for you in a special urn. I am sorry the choice was taken from you."
He nodded to me and thanked me as he tried to comfort his daughters. Shane threw a massive fit until Derek finally had enough and punched him knocking him out. "Ah come on I wanted to do that," Damon mumbled a few still heard him even Hershel cracked a small smile before walking off.
I turned and used my magic to get her the bodies. I then with Jordan's help used fiendfyre to burn the bodies. I conjured a urn and filled it with the ashes of Hershel's loved ones.

The wings would ever so often on it. There would always be a warm feeling on it when touched as well.
I turned and thanked Jordan walking to the House to give it to Hershel only to find he had gone off. I left it with Maggie and went to my mates. I told them I was going for Hershel. Jordan at my side instantly. A week ago the bond between Jordan's hell hound, Cerberus, and I was completed. I had not known he was in pain without it. To complete it and finish the bond he had to drink from my neck and then I his. Nik and the others growled the whole time, but now understand they serve me and me alone. Their whole perhaps is to aid and protect me. My mates felt better for that. Rick and Glenn joined us saying they would go with as well. My mates would stay and make sure nothing happened here.
We all left and found him fairly easy at the only bar in town. He finally came to grips after a drink or two.
As we were living though two others showed up. They screamed trouble to the point Jordan stayed in front of me. It came down to shooting them. This brought more trouble but they were chased of by walkers. They did leave a man, well boy really behind. We left with him back to the farm. He was thrown into a shed after being treated. I would not heal him and reveal our magic. It became a argument about what to do with him. Nik, Damon and Daryl went to interrogate him.
They came back with bad news. His group would not be kind, especially to the women and children. We decided in the morning to heal him and obliviate him then release him. We would begin preparations to leave the farm for my compound. Hershel and his family coming with. Patricia choosing to stay, no amount of persuasion could sway her.
