S2:Judge, Jury, Executioner

I see that Rick and Shane are back. They have Randall with them though. I'm near the shed in a tree and I'm writing words to a song. I hear Randall yelling in pain. I also hear Daryl too. I feel bad for the kid. He's just a bit older than me and Carl. I hear the information he's giving Daryl. I hear him talk about what the guys did to daughters of a man. Apparently they touched the girls and made the dad watch. He keeps trying to get Daryl to stop. I just continue writing words to a song I'm making. I've made a bunch of songs already. I see Daryl walk out. He doesn't notice me. I jump down from the tree. I start running over to the camp. Daryl has already walked away from the group. Dale starts talking to Rick. I sit on top of the RV. I start humming to make sure the words I write are good so far. I see Dale walk in the RV. When I finish I close my notebook and start reading the Percy Jackson book where I left off. I've always loved fiction. Greek mythology fiction specifically. I see Andrea walk out and go outside the shed. I jump down from the top of the RV. I see Carl and Shane walk near the shed. I climb back into the tree I was in while Daryl was beating up Randall. I hear Shane talk to Andrea. I have my duffel bag of stuff with me like always. I always have it with me. The dream I had a bit ago affected something about me. I have been taking it with me for a while. I see Carl go in the shed through the back. I follow him. He sits near the edge. I sit a bit behind him so that Randall can't see me. He starts talking to Carl. He tries asking him questions. He starts saying a sob story and tries to bribe Carl to help him. Carl goes down. Shane walks in. Carl gets in trouble. I'm still where I was. I get out the same way I got in and get back into the tree I was in. I hear Shane lecturing Carl. I walk a bit farther to near where Daryl's camp is. I see Dale talking to Daryl. He's trying to convince Daryl to help Randall. I'm in a tree listening. I'm writing too. Daryl thinks the group is broken. Dale spots me. I wave. He smiles and waved back. He starts talking to me about Randall. "I'm with you on this" I say. He smiles and says a thanks. " I can help you convince people to help Randall" I say. He agrees to letting me. I start walking around with him. We haven't convinced anyone yet. We go to Herschel next. He says that he'll let Rick decide. I try to help Dale convince him. "Please Herschel, he's just a kid. What if he is telling the truth and didn't do anything that the other men in his group did? That would just mean we took a life for nothing." I say. Herschel starts thinking about it. He tells us he'll think about it. Me and Dale go to find someone else to try to convince. "Dale, I had a dream about you once. It was about you walking around alone near dark and a biter saw you and started eating you." I say. He looks shocked. "Please don't go walking around at night by yourself" I say. He nods. We go to Shane next. Even though we won't convince him. I hear Shane talk to Dale. Shane walks away. We take a little break. I show him the drawing I made yesterday. He looks amazed. We continue walking. I remember him hearing me sing. He then asks me why I don't sing in front of people. "I get nervous in front of crowds when singing" I say. He nods. We go inside for the meeting. They let me stay. Carl goes upstairs. I stand next to Dale. Dale starts talking to Rick. Rick says that if anyone wants to spare Randall he wants to know. "Well it's a small group,maybe just me,Glenn and the kid here." Dale says. Glenn looks at Dale with a sorry look. He starts arguing with Dale. Maggie asks if we could continue keeping him a prisoner. Daryl says he's just a mother mouth to feed. The adults start discussing it. Dale says he could be an asset. He also says to give Randall a chance to prove himself. Everyone starts arguing about what to do with Randall. Shane starts saying a hypothetical. Dale starts using him convincing. Herschel asks if Rick can't just drive Randall out. Shane and Rick start talking about how to execute Randall. Dale interferes. Dale starts getting frustrated. I talk after Dale. "Say he is innocent,say he actually didn't do anything that the men from his group did. That would mean we just took a young man's life for no reason other than because we can't decide what to do with him. That makes us as worse as his group. That probably would be us losing the last of our humanity. It'd be inhumane." I say. Everyone looks  at me, they look shocked that I spoke more than a couple words. Except for Dale I talk to him a lot. Shane says we all know what needs to be done. Rick says that me and Dale are right. Well he says kid instead of my name since he still doesn't really know it. Carol interferes. Still no one speaks up that we should spare Randall. Me and Dale get frustrated. "You said we don't kill the living" I say to Rick. Dale nods. Rick says that was before the living tried to kill us. "Don't you see? If we do this the people that we were, the world that we knew is dead." I say. "And this new world is ugly it's harsh, it's survival of the fittest and that's a world we don't wanna live in" Dale says talking about me and him at the last part. I nod. "I don't believe any of you do. I can't. Please. Let's just do what's right." Dale says. No one else speaks up." Isn't there anybody else who's gonna stand with us?" Dale asks. Again no one speaks up. "They're right. We should try to find another way." Andrea says. "Anybody else?" Rick asks. No one else speaks up. "Are y'all gonna watch too?" Dale asks, tears in his eyes. "No,you're gonna go hide in your tents and try to forget we're slaughtering a human being." I say finishing Dales sentence."We won't be a party to it" Dale says. "Daryl's right, this group is broken" I say. Dale and I walk out. I walk around with Dale. I walk while playing my acoustic guitar. Dale looks at me impressed. "It's a nervous habit" I say. He nods. I strum the strings to find a tune. When I do I start singing. Dale walks and listens. We hear a cow, but we think nothing of it. We walk near the noise. It looks like a biter got to it. Suddenly a biter attacks Dale. I try to help Dale. "HELP!PLEASE!HELP!" I yell. Dale yells in pain. He tries to keep the biter off him. I try to help. "HELP!" I yell. The biter opened up Dale. I'm next to Dale crying and sobbing. He looks shocked. Herschel says he's not gonna make it. I sob the loudest Andrea sobs but not as loud as me. Dale is still alive. "Do something!" I say in between sobs. Rick attempts to shoot Dale but can't bring himself to. Daryl does. "Sorry brother" was all he said. I sob even louder.
