Promises

Chapter Seventeen

I watched them take Randall to the barn and then I saw Carl following them. I ran and decided to follow them as well. I was following Carl who was following the adults. They walked into the barn but left the door open. I took a peck through a crack and saw them blind fold Randall. I heard him begging and felt a tear fall.
"Do it, dad. Do it." I heard Carl tell his dad.
"Don't!" I yelled as I ran to the barn doors.
"Take him away." Rick ordered.
Dad picked him up took him. "Get to your tent now!" He whispered.
I ran to the tent and I felt happiness spread through me. But then I realised that my boyfriend wanted to watch someone be murdered.
I heard a scream and I jumped out. I followed all of the adults to the source but I wish I hadn't. I saw Dale with his insides on the outside. I felt sick. My tummy did flips. I turned around to puke up everything. I felt a hand on my back, I didn't bother to see who it was. "We need to save him!" I yelled after I puked.
"Jas, we can't." Glenn whispered.
I heard a gun shot. "NO!" I screamed.
"I'm so sorry, Jasmine." Dad said as he walked over. "I had to put him out of pain."
I moved away from Glenn and towards my dad. I don't know what came over me, I just started hitting dad as hard as I could. I hate him! He's a murderer! "I HATE YOU!" I screamed.
Glenn picked me up and moved me away. "Look after her tonight, she won't want to stay in my tent." Dad told Glenn.
"Of course I will." Glenn replied.
"First Carl wants to watch Randle being executed, then my dad kills Dale!" I cried.
"Your dad did what he had to. He stopped Dale from being in pain." He whispered
He laid me down when we got to his tent. He only wants what's best for you.

In the morning, we all went to Dale's funeral. Rick wants to prove him wrong and honour him so we're doing things his way. I smiled. Dale finally got what he wanted, to restore the humanity. Why couldn't we have done this before? At least now Dale won't be turning in his grave. Hopefully, he'll be happy with this new step that we've taken.

"I've got to go search for Randle." Dad said as he walked over to me. "He just attacked Shane."
"What?!" I yelled.
"I'll be back as soon as I can." Dad told me.
"Promise?" I whispered.
"I promise." He replied. "Carl. Look after Jas for me."
"Yes, sir!" Carl yelled. "Don't worry. I'll make sure that she's fine."
"Thank you." Dad said as he left us.
"How did Randle, the weak boy, successfully attack Shane, the police office?" I asked.
"Caught him off guard?" Carl replied.
"Maybe..." I muttered.

I was talking to Maggie, getting to know her because she was basically dating Glenn. "Can I ask you. Something?" Maggie asked.
"You just did." I answered.
"What's Glenn to you? He acts like a brother to you but you don't look like each other." Maggie stated.
"I only met Glenn at the start of this. We got to know each other and he'd look after me when my dad and Merle were busy doing stuff." I replied. "He basically became my brother overtime so if you hurt him I will feed you to the walkers before you can even say 'sorry'."
Maggie put her arms in defence. "Don't worry, I won't." Maggie told me.
"Promise?" I asked.
"I finally get to make one of your famous promises." Maggie joked but then went serious. "I promise."
