Chapter 81) Weakness

"Oh my god. Noah, go get help!"

Noah immediately runs out of his house in search of Rick, Michonne, and Glenn.

Y/N bends down to Tyreese who's groaning in pain. Blood is gushing out of his arm. Y/N grips her sword.

She could cut it off right now, but she doesn't have anything to wrap it with. "Okay, Tyreese, listen to me. I'm going to find a first aid kit. Okay? I'll be right back."

She stands and leaves the room. She searches the master bedroom. She throws open drawers. She searches boxes in the closet. She makes her way to the bathroom and flings open the cabinets.

She finds a small kit, with some bandages. That's the best she can do. She runs back into the bedroom to find another walker trying to bite her friend.

She immediately takes her sword and stabs the walker in the head. It collapses to the ground and she quickly kneels beside Tyreese.

He's fading in and out of consciousness. He's lost a lot of blood. She grips the sides of his face. "Tyreese! Look at me! I need to cut it off. You're gonna have to hold out your arm."

He doesn't. A tear slides down her face. She can't lose anyone else. "Hold out your arm!" She shouts.

He does. She takes her sword and brings it down on his arm, slicing it off in one swing. He screams in agony.

She starts wrapping the bandages around his bleeding stump. Suddenly Noah bursts in the room with the others. They take one look at the scene and jump into action.

Rick and Glenn help Tyreese up and start to get him out of the house. Y/N and Michonne are in front, taking down walkers with their swords.

They make it to the front gates where there's a chain wrapped around. Over a dozen walkers are on the other side.

Noah takes over holding up Tyreese and the others break the chain, allowing the walkers to enter.

They take care of them, and then keep going. They're running as fast as they can. He's lost a lot of blood. They rush back through the trees to the car.

Tyreese collapses. He can't move. Everyone grabs him and hoists him back up. All five of them carrying his weight as they pass by the barbed wire. Pass by the skeleton remains.

They make it back to the car. They get him into the middle row. Rick gets in the driver seat, quickly telling Carol through the walkie the situation.

Michonne gets in the passenger seat. Y/N and Noah sit next to Tyreese. She wraps her flannel around the arm where the bandages are now soaked with blood. Glenn sits in the back.

The car speeds down the empty street. A tear slides down Tyreese's face. Y/N wipes it away.

They keep driving. She glances back at Tyreese. His eyes are shut. She tries shaking him awake. "Ty? Ty, please." She whispers.

She feels for a pulse. None. She lowers her head as a muffled sob chokes through her body. Rick brings the car to a stop. Everyone gets out.

They rest Tyreese on the concrete. They put a white sheet over his body. They stab him in the head to prevent him from turning.

The rest of the group arrives. They bring him off the road. They find an open field. A willow tree. They dig a grave. The bury him. Gabriel reads from the bible.

They make a wooden cross. On top of it, rests Tyreese's beanie.

They travel for days. Weeks. Maybe even months. Finding car after car.

Water is low. Food is lower.

They're trying to make it to Washington. Even though Eugene doesn't have the cure, it's still a good place to go.

Maybe it's better there.

Y/N is starting to show a bit now. The first person she told was Daryl. His lip curled up into a smile the slightest bit.

Then she told Rick and Carl. The look on their faces said it all. Lori. She might end up like Lori.

Then she told Michonne. She hugged her. She said "We're gonna find a place. It's all gonna work out."

Maggie, Carol, Sasha, Noah, Abe, Gabriel, Tara, Eugene. She told everyone.

People's emotions are mixed. Having a baby is a curse when you're out on the road, with no home. Having a baby means constant crying which can attract walkers. Having a baby means stress, and pain.

Their final van is out of gas now. They have to walk from here. They still have a long way to go.

Y/N carries Judith. She seems to be able to calm her cries. Maybe it's all the time they spent together after the prison. Just the two of them.

Either way, she doesn't complain. She's doesn't complain as Judith gnaws on her dirty arm. She doesn't complain as her legs and back ache. She doesn't complain as her arms start to go numb.

She just keeps holding her.

The group is low. After losing Bob, and Beth, and Tyreese all in the span of a few days. After losing Hershel. And the prison. And everyone else that they had saved from Woodbury.

They walk down the roads. Slowly. No energy. Walkers start to follow them. A small group at first. They don't bother killing them. It's a waste of the little stamina they have left.

Instead they just walk. Carol and Daryl head off in search of water. Carl gives Maggie a music box.

Michonne and Rosita walk close to Y/N. They offer to hold Judith but when they do she cries. Y/N takes her back.

The group of walkers is getting closer now. There's even more than before. They make it to a concrete bridge.

Y/N, Carl, Judith, Noah, and Eugene all wait on the other side.

The rest prepare to rid themselves of the walker herd behind them. Rick leads one close to the edge and pushes it down the small cliff.

Glenn does the same. They keep doing that until Sasha stabs one in the head. She keeps stabbing. Her anger is getting the best of her.

The rest grab their weapons and continue to fight the walkers. Daryl and Carol arrive. Y/N wants to go help but with her growing stomach, she knows she can't.

The others finish the herd and walk back to the rest of the group. The journey continues. They find some abandoned cars. They search for supplies.

They only find a bottle of alcohol. They sit in the shade now. Trying to regain energy. Suddenly growling can be heard from behind them.

They turn around to find four stray dogs standing menacingly on the other side of the road. They bark. Y/N turns her back to them, holding on tightly to Judith.

Suddenly silenced gunshots go off and the dogs thud to the ground. Sasha's holding a gun.

They make a fire. They cook the meat. Y/N fights the urge to throw up. She wants to cry. She wants to scream.

Instead she just eats. Judith eats. They all do. Even the priest. Even Eugene. They have to.

They have to survive.
