If I lose you... (Predaking/the walking dead)

Hershel goes missing.

LJ POV

I was still in Steel's arms. Carol was sobbing. "Come on. Don't look. Don't look!" Dad told Carol as he helped her up. She shoved him off.

She ran off and Steel watched her run.

I was sitting with Steel. I sighed as we saw everyone starting to move the bodies. I sighed. Dad walked over with Shane and Uncle Rick. "Dale. Can you take LJ up to the house to rest?" Steel asked. He turned to me. "I want you to rest. Okay, poo?" I nodded.

He kissed my head I stood up. "Hey. You dropped that." Dad put the hat he got me on my head. I smiled.

Darksteel stood up and sighed. "You want us to start burying?" T-Dog asked.

"We need a service. Carol and LJ would want that." Andrea said. "Yeah, we all want that," T-Dog said.

King sighed. "Let's um-- let's dig a grave for Sophia and Lola and Annette and Shawn over by those trees. And we'll need a truck to move the bodies." Lori agreed.

"I'll get the truck," Jimmy said. "No, no. I'll get the truck." Shane said.

"And the others? That's a lot of digging." Jimmy said. "We bury the ones we love and burn the rest," Andrea said.

"Let's get to work," King said.

King and Lori pulled Rick aside. "What did Hershel say?"

"He wants us off the farm. Or Shane at least." Rick said. King sighed. "That is not shocking. We're lucky someone wasn't killed. I'm curious as to who in the hell put Lola in there." King snarled.

Rick sighed.

King then sighed. He stormed up the house with Rick following.

Predaking was gently petting LJ's hair. He sighed. He kissed her head softly and he walked out. He transformed and flew off.

I woke up and I was sitting on the porch with Darksteel. Light and Stripe were wrestling. "Oh! COME ON, STRIPE! LOCK YOUR KNEES!" Steel yelled.

She did as he said and she won over him.

We were sitting on the steps. I got up when I saw Grimlock. "Hey, buddy." I touched his snout and felt dizzy. I then dropped.

"OH MY GOD!" Steel yelled.

3rd POV

"LJ? Sweetie. Can you hear me?" Minestripe tried to get her sisters attention. She was sweating and burning up and she wasn't responding.

Lori got in the room. "What's wrong with her?" Stripe asked. "She might be in shock. Where's Predaking and Hershel?"

"We can't find them anywhere." Steel said. Lori sighed.

They looked in Predaking's tent and Shane noticed a bottle of alcohol. "Looks like he found an old friend!" He threw it to Rick.

"That belonged to our mother. Gave it to Dad when she died." Lightfire said. "I didn't take King for a drinker." Rick admitted.

"No, he gave it up the day we were born. He doesn't even talk about alcohol." Light star said.

"What's the bar in town?" Rick asked. "Hatlin's. Might be where he'd have gone." Darksteel said.

"Betting that's where I'll find him." Rick said. "Yeah, I've seen the place. I'll take you." Steel said. "Steel! No." Stripe said.

"Stripe, it's an easy run." He assured her. "Like the pharmacy?" She asked. Steel sighed. "Hey, Stripe?" She turned. "I'll bring him back." He assured her.

"Stripe, that was different." He started to tell her.

"Rick! You want to have a conversation about this before you leave?" Lori asked Shane behind her. "So, you're seriously gonna go after these two with everything going on?" Shane asked.

"He's right. He's right." Darksteel walked out of the room. "That's my goddamn father and LJ needs him. So stop being a selfish bitch." Darksteel sneered at Lori and walked off. "Hey! Don't call her that!" Shane yelled.

"Or what?" Steel snarled. "Knock it off!" Stripe snapped and Shoved past Shane and dragged her brother off.
