S2: Beside the Dying Fire

It's hard walking with my leg snapped like a twig and having to carry my duffel bag of stuff. I have my arm around Glenn's neck and he's helping me walk. I hope it's just a tiny horde of biters.

We get back inside the house. "Rick and Shane ain't back?" Daryl asks. "No" Lori responds. "We heard a shot" Daryl says. "Maybe they found Randall" Lori says. "We found him" Daryl says.
"Is he back in the shed?" Maggie asks.
"He's a walker" Daryl says.
"Did you find the walker that bit him?" Herschel asks.
"No the weird thing is he wasn't bit" Glenn says. "His neck was broke" Daryl says.
"So he fought back" Patricia said.

"The thing is Shane and Randall's tracks were right on top of each other. And Shane ain't no tracker, so he didn't come up behind him. They were together." Daryl says. "Would you please get back out there,find Rick and Shane and find out what on earth is going on?" Lori asks. "You got it" Daryl says. "Thank you" she responds.

"Uhm hello there's a child here that needs medical assistance." I say. Everyone looks at me. "What happened?" Herschel asks.

"So basically I saw Shane take Randall out the shed and I followed him. I saw Shane snap Randall's neck,then he hurt himself and started creeping around the woods. He hid his gun. I yelled but you guys didn't hear me. Shane heard me and snapped my leg like a twig. Then he left me deep in the woods." I explain.

Herschel prepares for surgery. I limp over to the room. I pass out. Next thing I know I wake up and my leg is stitched up and back in place. There's crutches next to the bed. I stand up and grab my duffel beat. I swing it over my shoulder. My bow is under it. I start walking with the crutches. I see a couple people outside. There's a bunch of biters.

Lori comes out. "Carls gone,he was upstairs. I can't find him anymore." She says. Herschel opens a duffel bag of guns. Maggie grabs one. She gives one to Glenn.
Andrea says a plan. It's simple but will it work? "This is my farm, I'll die here" Herschel says. The cars start heading out after a while. I see the barn on fire.

I'm with Patricia, Beth, Lori, and Carol inside. I hear a bunch of gunshots. I start getting a headache. Herschel is shooting the biters getting close to the house. Carol goes inside and gets me, Patricia, and Beth outside the house. Lori yells at Herschel that we have to go. She leads us outside.

A couple biters get Patricia. Beth is crying. Lori takes Beth away. T dog rolls up. Andrea gets out. Lori and Beth get in.

I follow Andrea as fast as I can with the crutches. We get to where Carol is. Andrea shoots the biters close to Carol. One almost gets Andrea. I shoot it with my gun. T drives the truck away.

Carol runs the opposite direction from us. We start jogging. Rick drives away. Andrea tries to get him to stop. He can't hear her. She grabs the bag of guns on the floor. Biters start chasing us. She shoots them.

I have Dale's hat in my duffel bag. I have everything in there except for my blanket and pillow. I sob a bit. I get ahead of Andrea. She continues shooting biters. I think she runs out of ammo.

(Time skip)

It's not dark anymore. A bunch of biters surround her. She gets another gun and tries shoot them all. I get my gun and and start shooting them. One of my crutches falls. Then the other. I keep standing but don't put eight on the leg that was broken.

Soon enough we kill all the biters. She helps me pick up my crutches. I nod a thanks. We continue jogging away. I hope everyone is okay. We get to the woods. I cover her while she refills her gun with ammo. I shoot a biter that gets close to her. We continue jogging. There's a bunch of biters behind us.

(Time skip)

It's a bit dark out. Me and Andrea are still walking in the woods. I'm helping her kill biters. I'm covering her back. A biter gets on top of her from the front. I hear a slice. It's someone in a cloak with a katana and two biters. Andrea catches her breathe. It gets really dark. We killed all the biters.

I'm against a tree. That's when it hits me. They left us. Everyone. No vehicle. No one. I quietly sob. No one is coming back for us. My dog! I whistle. Toby comes running. He jumps on me. I smile. He starts licking my face.
