My mom had sent us to the bedroom upstairs. Miles and I sat and watched as Carl looked out the window with his binoculars. "You okay?" I asked Miles, his leg shaking and his face telling me everything. "I'm just worried about my dad." he said, turning his head towards the window "he is going to be okay, they both are." I said putting my hand on his hand "they always make it out." Carl shut the blinds "I'm going to go find them." Miles and I stood up "what!" we said simultaneously. 

Before we knew it he was tiptoeing down the stairs to the side door, Miles and I followed close behind. "Carl, do you have a gun?" I asked, checking behind to see if any adults had seen us. All I got was a silent nod from him, then we saw Daryl and Glenn walking back to the house. We all ran to hide behind a tree at the edge of the woods. "Carl, what is your plan out here?" Miles asked worriedly. Then a gunshot and then what felt like complete and utter silence before, a faint scream in the distance. 

I rushed towards the direction of the gunshot. I stopped in my tracks when I saw Shane dead on the ground and my dad kneeling over him. We all froze with tears rushing down our eyes, My dad slowly stood up and began to walk towards us. Carl drew his gun and My dad held his hands out to us "just put the gun down." my dad said walking closer to Carl. I don't think my dad knew a reanimated flesh eating Shane was stumbling towards him. "pull the trigger!" I screamed and watched Shane's body hit the ground once more.
