(ON HOLD)Vigilante In A New World(Jason ToddXThe Walking Dead Fanfic)

Season 2 Chapter 13: "Beside the Dying Fire"

3rd Person POV

Harley could be seen in the house, looking out the window as she and everyone else waited for Jason, Rick, Glenn, and Daryl to return. Andrea held Amy close while Carol held Sophia.

Sophia seemed very anxious, her hand occasionally wandering to her holstered gun due to how worried she was for her mentor.

Andrea then had enough and stood up.

Andrea: "I'm going after them."

Sophia also stood up, a look of determination on her face.

Sophia: "I'm going with you."

Lori: "Don't, you two. They could be anywhere. And if Randal comes back, we're going to need you here."

Suddenly the door opened and Daryl came in with Glenn, both of who were soaked from the rain.

Daryl: "Rick and Jason ain't back?"

Lori shook her head.

Lori: "No."

Lightning flashed and thunder crashed, shaking the house slightly.

Carol: "What about Randall?"

Daryl: "Oh, we found him."

Maggie: "Is he back in the shed?"

Daryl looked at Glenn before looking back to Maggie.

Daryl: "We found him dead in the woods. I don't know what was with his eyes, but they were crusted over like molten rock."

This shocked everyone except Harley who had a distinct idea of who did it but was unsure how it was possible.

Harley: 'Last I checked, Jason can't do that...'

Beth: "So, what do we do?"

Sophia: "We can't just leave them out there. We have to go find them!"

Hershel: "That would be unwise. In a storm like this, it's surprising we're not dealing with a hurricane."

Suddenly lightning crashed violently against the barn, setting the roof on fire along with the straw and hay bales inside.

Maggie: "Oh, no..."

Everyone looked outside and was horrified by the sight of what they saw.

The flaming barn lit up the area enough to show what was outside.

The horde was here.

Suddenly the door swung open to show Rick and Carl.

Rick: "We have to go. NOW!"

While everyone scrambled to grab what they could, Jason could be seen running out of the woods, passing in front of the swarm of walkers to get to his car.

Jason: "Come on, come on!"

Jason slid over the hood of his car and threw the door open, grabbing a detonator remote and quickly pressing the red button.

There was the sharp sound of air being sucked in before there was and explosion in the middle of the herd, killing a good portion of the infected.

The teen chuckled.

Jason: "I guess it WAS a good idea to plant those C4 in the open area."

Jason then closed his car door and started up his vehicle, pressing a button that opened up small hatches outside the car to reveal speakers.
