Chapter 9.

9. The start of a nightmare.

"Wake up hun..they are going to bury Dale.." Carol softly whisper and shook me. I opened my eyes and nod. I got up and changed, Carol handed me breakfast and I ate it, as we went to Dale's burial. Rick have a speech about Dale and how we are going to do Dale's way of going with things. Then we buried him, I went to Andrea and put my hand on her shoulder. "I'm okay.." she softly said and I nod. We all head back to the camp, Daryl was on his motorcycle. I was with Carol, "Are you going to talk to him..?" She asked and I looked at her, "I don't know." I stayed quiet for a bit and she smiled. "Go and talk to him." She said as she shoo me away.

I laughed and slowly made my way towards him as he stopped his motorcycle, I took a deep breath and head closer. "...hey" I said and he looked back at me. "Hey." He said and faced straight, I walked next to him. "Thanks for the vest, I'm sorry.." "I'm suppose to be apologizing...I shouldn't have told you what to do..." "You were a dick..." I mumbled and he quietly chuckled, "I know...I was jus-" he stopped and I looked at him, "looking out for me?" "...I guess.."he mumbled and I smiled, "Thanks..I have a favor to ask." "Yeah?"

"Can you teach me how to shoot your crossbow." I asked and he nods, "You sure?" "Yeah, it can't be that hard."

"How the hell can you carry this with you!?" I said as I tried to keep steady. "I thought you said it wasn't hard." He slightly smirked. "Whatever. I got it so what's my target?" He walked towards a tree and with a knife he marked an X. "Here." "That's a little to far.." "Nah it's fine." I rolled my eyes and kept steady the crossbow. It was heavy so it was hard to grab, I shot the arrow but it missed the target.

"Again." He said and he gave the arrow. I tried to reload it but didn't know how. "How the hell can you reload so fast." I said handing him it and he did it for me. " M' use to it." He said as he gave it back. I kept practicing but didn't get any better.

"I'll stick with guns and knives." I said exhaustedly, "Yea' cause you suck." He said as he got his arrow from a tree, "Oh shut up Dixon. I'm going back to the camp, you coming?" "Nah ima go out hunting for more food." "I'll go with yo-".    "Stay here." He said as he left. I rolled my eyes and head back to camp.

I was back helping T-Dog and Daryl came back, and Rick went to talk to him about something.  "Thanks for helping me nursey." "Anytime T." I smiled and Carl came out the house. "Hey Y/N! Can you teach me today?" He asked and I looked at T, and he nods. I smiled and went with Carl where we would normally go.

"Can I tell you something Y/N.." Carl said seriously and I nod, "Of course Carl, what's up?" "I dont actually want you to teach me right now, I just need to talk to you. I went to the woods alone and saw a walker...I was going to kill it. But it got out and I ran, that's the same walker that killed Dale...Y/N I killed Dale.." Carl said as he teared up. I hugged Carl, he hugged back.

"Carl don't blame yourself, don't ever do that. It was not your fault, you didn't know this was gonna happen...Dale wouldn't want you to blame yourself, it's not your fault." I said as I wiped his tears and he softly smiled. "I'm sorry.." "it's alright Carl...it's alright." I smiled and he smiled and went somewhere else. I sighed and got up.

Time past and T went to check in Randall and saw that he was gone, he alerted all of us. We all went in the barn to check. Rick said that his cuffs were still there so he must of slipped off them.Then Shane yelled for Rick as he came towards us.

"Rick! Rick!" Shane yelled and we all looked at his direction, "What happen?" Lori asked, "He's armed! He's got my gun!" Shane said "Are you okay?" Carl asked, "I'm fine. Little Bastard just snuck up on me, he clocked me in the face." "Alright! Hershel, T-Dog, get everybody back in the house. Glenn, Daryl come with us." Rick ordered and I grabbed Daryl arm and he looked at me.

"Be careful." I said and he nod. "T, Im Gonna need that gun." Shane said, "The plan was to let him go, that was the plan wasn't it. To let him go?" Carol said, "The plan was to cut him loose, far away from here. Not on our front step with a gun!" Rick said and T handed the gun to Shane.

Rick and everyone left and we went back in the house. "Do you think he went far?" I asked T, "Don't think so, he is hurt pretty bad." He said as we went inside.

It was now night and no sign of them, Carl would keep looking to the window. I sat with Carol, "They've been gone for the whole day..." "They'll be okay Carol...there're tough." I said as I rubbed her back. We all talked and waited patiently, "I'm going after them." Andrea said as she stood up, "Don't. They could be anywhere and if Randall comes back, we're gonna need you here." Lori said and the door swung open.

It was Daryl and Glenn, I smiled. "Rick and Shane ain't back?" Daryl asked, "No, we heard a shot, maybe they found Randall." She said, "We found him." "Is he back in the shed?" Maggie asked, "He's a walker." Daryl said, "Did you find the walker that bit him?" Hershel asked, "No the weird thing is..he wasn't bit." Glenn said.

"His neck was broke." Daryl said, "So he fought back." Patricia said, "The thing is, Shane and Randall's tracks were right on top of each other and Shane isn't a walker so he didn't come up behind him. They were together." Daryl said. "Would you please get back out there, find Rick and Shane and find out what on earth is going on?" Lori said as she went up to him.

"You got it." Daryl said as he went out, "Thank you" Lori said. "That doesn't make sense how did Randall become a walker if he wasn't bit?" I asked, "Yeah, me and Daryl were confuse as well." Glenn said, and we heard noises and I head outside with Glenn followed by Andrea.

Daryl was outside and I went next to him to see what he was looking at, it was a bunch of walkers. And everyone came out, "Patricia kill the lights." Hershel whispered, "I'll get the guns." Andrea said as she rushed inside. I pulled out my knife, "Maybe they're passing, like the herd on the highway. Should we go inside?" Glenn asked, "Not unless there's a tunnel downstairs I don't know about. A herd that size would rip the house down." Daryl said.

"Carl's gone." Lori said worriedly, "What?" Daryl said, "He-He was upstairs, I couldn't find him anymore." She said, "Maybe he's hiding" Glenn said, "He's suppose to be upstairs. I'm not leaving with out my boy!" She said. "We're not. We're gonna look again..w-we're gonna find him." Carol said as her and Lori went back inside.

"Ima go and find him." I said and Andrea came back with guns. "Are you crazy!" Glenn said, "Yeah what he said, yer not going." Daryl said, and I grabbed a gun and head down. Daryl grabbed my arm, "You are not goin', yer staying here! I'll go find them." Daryl said. "N-" "Stop being stubborn! Protect the others." He said and I hugged him. He didn't move at first but then hugged me back, "Please be careful." I let go, "I will." He said and left followed by the others.

I went back inside and Beth mentioned that the Barn was on fire. I went to look and she wasn't lying, "I can't find him anywhere!" Lori said as she came back downstairs, "So maybe he snuck outside." Carol said worried, "What do I do!" Lori yelled and I went to Lori and rubbed her back. "He was here, he must've run off, maybe looking for Rick or went after Randall himself." Carol said, "She's right, Carl probably went looking for Rick. They might be together now." I said, "Maybe he set the fire." Patricia added.

I went back outside and saw Hershel shooting, I went next to him and shot with him. "You should be inside!" He yelled, "I'm not leaving you alone." I said, as we kept shooting. "Hershel! Y/N! It's time to go!" Lori yelled, "Come on, now!" Carol yelled. I stopped shooting and Hershel kept shooting. "Hershel we need to go!" I yelled at him.

I turned around and saw them leave, "Damn you Hershel." I said and stayed with him, and kept shooting. "No go follow them!" He yelled and I hesitated and ran where they went and saw a bunch on walkers. From far I saw Andrea fall with a walker. "Andrea!" I yelled and felt tears but I saw Carol. I ran towards her, pushing walkers out of the way and stabbing them.

"Carol! I'm here!" I yelled and she stopped. I caught up with her. "Oh my god Y/N!" She cried as she hugged me. I hugged back, "We need to go!" I said as I grabbed her hand and ran. A bunch of walkers were headed our way and soon enough they would of caught up to us. "You go on ahead, I'll slow them down!" I yelled and Carol cried, "No! N-No I'm not leaving you!" She yelled, "Please mama, all I care is about you getting safe. I promise I'll see you, just keep running!" I said and she hugged me tight and ran.

I felt tears forming, "Fuck you!" I yelled and kept shooting them, I tried to kill most of them so they wouldn't catch Carol. I heard Carol scream and my heart stopped. "Carol!" I yelled and ran her direction. Her scream stoped and I felt tears forming, "Carol...please. Be okay.." I cried and ran towards the woods.
