The Dead World

Sixteen ~ Loss Of Limbs

The place was coming together they'd been in the prison for a week so far,  Lori was due any day now and the past few weeks Hershel had started showing Carol how to preform a C section just in case. She had asked Rick and Phoebe if she could practice of walkers which they seemed slightly wary about but they agreed she could practise.

The group was getting ready to check the cafeteria, they felt rested enough to be able to take it even if the plan wasn't solid, going to find the cafeteria was Rick, Glenn, Maggie, Hershal, Tdog, Daryl and Phoebe.

Hershel wasn't going to go but had somehow convinced Rick to allow him to so as they were getting ready everyone had gathered to help or say goodbye, Carl was playing around with one of the newly cleaned helmets making Sophia giggle and Beth smile.

"You won't be needing that, i need you to stay put" Rick said taking the helmet from the boys head, Phoebe saw the boys eyes ignite with a rebellous fire.

"You're kidding!" Carl's arms fell limp to his side as he glared at his father.

"We don't know what's in there" Rick answered as he was absolutely not kidding "Something goes wrong you could be he last man standing, i need you to handle things" Rick stressed that fact and Phoebe smirked slightly, play on the boys need to be valuable and want to be treated as anything but a child and you have a compliant Carl Grimes.

"Apart from Dale of course but his old who knows how long he has left" Phoebe playfully bumped the older man next to her who just raised his dark brows dissaprovingly at her.

"Long enough" He answered and she chuckled.

"Alright, let's go" Rick answered so Phoebe kissed both Carl and Sophia's head before giving Beth a quick hug and following after her brother sending Lori a air kiss on the way past.

The hallways were really dark so they all had flashlights, there were several bodies on the ground obviously having been put out of their misery.

Glenn had been giving the job of spray painting arrows so they could get back without getting lost, Maggie turned and had accidentally bumped into Glenn causing the girl to yell out slightly beening on edge but everyone turned to make sure she was okay.

"Sorry" she whispered and Phoebe squeezed her arm on her way past trying to comfort the jumpy girl, she wasn't the only one either, lights from the groups torches were darting all over the place and it wasn't making it hard for Phoebe to concentrate but she tried not to snap knowing they were scared.

They kept going and Phoebe glared at Tdog when his light blinds her but when he doesn't remove it she slaps his arm down about to snap at him for blinding her but she didn't get a chance.

"Back, go back! Walkers!" Her brother demanded but she stumbled only being able to see the white lights in her vision, Daryl grabbed her hand and started pulling her back the way they came and after a moment she got her sight back fully after blinking furiously.

They kept running as somehow walkers had appeared from the way they came having obviously heard Maggies screech earlier, Phoebe was pulled into a closet with the others but there was only five including her.

"Where's Glenn and Maggie?" Rick whispered.

"We have to go back" Hershel demanded not wanting to lose his daughter.

"But which way?" Daryl asks and they just head back the way they had came knowing roughly where they lost the two members.

"Maggie? Glenn" Hershel whispered as they went, Phoebe noticed Hershel had stopped so she grabbed Daryl arm to stop them from going to far "Mag?" she heard him calling.
