Glenn had tried to get Dean to join them but he refused. He was trying to figure out a way to keep Daryl from killing Rick... Sure Dean didn't like the fact that Merle got left in Atlanta but he also didn't want his brother t𝗈 be the reason Carl lost his dad again.

Dean watched as his fire slowly started to fade away. He rolled his eyes not seeing a reason to add more wood to the fire, he stood up and with his right foot he stomped the remaining fire out.

Dean took his boots off by the outside of his tent before crawling in. The tent was set up with two sleeping bags on either side of it and Dean's bag was neatly sitting at the back of the tent. Normally Daryl's was there too but not now.

Dean laid down on the sleeping bag on the left side of the tent. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep. After about five minutes he opened his eyes again. The sound of crickets and other critters of the night usually put him to sleep in no time but tonight was one of those nights he probably wouldn't get much sleep.

His mind was too full. His main worry was of right now was what if Daryl didn't come back this time? What if something happened and he was left without either of his brothers. Would he be okay if Daryl and Merle never came back. Would he be able to survive on his own? But eventually the boy finally fell asleep, even with a millon thoughts running through his brain.

Dean had slept in. He only woke up when he heard screams. As soon as the screams filled the air Dean popped up. Thinking fast he reached under his pillow and pulled out a knife he got for his birthday a few years ago. He had to keep it hidden because if not Shane might try to take it.

The boy then rushed out of his tent and hurriedly put his boots back on. He saw some of the adults running towards the woods so he took off in the same direction.

Carl and Sophia both ran to their moms. Curious to see what had the other kids scared, Dean followed the men to a clearing in the woods.

There was a dead deer that a walkers was eating, Dean immediately noticed three of Daryl's bolts in the deer. This was the first time He had ever seen a walker up close and feeding. If he wasn't so used to skinning and gutting animals with his brothers and uncle he would have probably puked at the sight.

The walker stood up finally taking notice of the men around it. Rick was the first to attack the monster. Soon followed by Shane, Glenn, Dale, Jim and Morales.

Finally Dale chopped the walker's head off. "It's the first one we've had up here." Dale spoke as Dean walked over to the deer and yanked the two bolts outta it. "They never come this far up the mountain."
