On the Brink... (A Walking Dead Fanfic)

Chapter 3

"So who's in what room?" Mya asked.

"There is only three bedrooms and two beds in each, so we will have to share or sleep on the floor." Rick responded.

"I will keep watch." Michonne said walking towards the door.

"Okay that's one. Mya, Erin, Judith, Amani, and Kayden will be in one room. Glenn, Daryl, Elijah, and I will be in the second room. That leaves Anna, Carl, Maggie, Beth, and Carol." Rick decided.

"I'll sleep on the couch." Carl said as he looked over at me. I smiled then, looked over at Maggie, Beth, and Carol.

"I'm hungry, what are we eating?" Erin asked.

"Spam." Rick answered throwing a can to her.

"I... I'm not hungry." Mya said as she walked to her room.

"Wonder what that's about." Elijah commented crossing his arms.

A few minutes later a piercing scream ripped through the house. "MYA!!!" Erin yelled already out of her chair.

Rick, Carl, Daryl, and Glenn ran to the back room with their weapons. The others and I followed.

"Oh my..." I couldn't finish my sentence as I stared at the lifeless body, that was Mya, on the ground. Two walkers were sitting there eating on her torso. Daryl shot both of them with his arrows. Amani started crying and fell to her knees. Everyone was silent.

"I feel so sorry for her." I whispered.

"Did anyone even check this room?" Carl asked. "Imagine if Judith was in here at the same time as Mya!" He added.

Rick shook his head. "I don't remember it."

"I did. They must have come in through the window." Daryl replied.

We all looked up at the window in unison and saw a large hole in it with glass scattered all over the floor.

"I think I've lost my appetite now." Erin said holding her stomach.

We all looked up at her and then back down at Mya.

"Are you sure this place is safe?" Glenn asked Rick.

"I'm not sure. We need to check and see if Michonne is okay." Rick said as he walked out of the room and then out the front door. Our group followed.

"What's wrong?" Michonne asked.

"Mya just... died. Did you see any walkers go through that window over there?" Rick responded.

Michonne shook her head, "Only a few of them over there but none have come this way."

"They must've come in while we were talking." Maggie suggested.

"I don't know, but let's just figure it out later and go to bed now." Rick said calmly.

"I don't think I can sleep after seeing that. Ew." Erin commented.

"Well you're going to have to. That will happen." Daryl spoke up.

"Well we're going, like Rick said." Maggie replied to Erin's comment. Maggie tapped Beth on the shoulder, "Come on." They walked back to their room.

"Okay we need to stay on guard since two of us just died in one day." Rick said, "Michonne you can take a break, I will keep watch and anyone else who wants to volunteer to help me can."

"I will," Daryl volunteered, "I'm not tired right now."

"I guess I will too. You really can't do anything these days." Elijah replied.
